Uncharted 2 has better single player. MW2 has better multiplayer. Overall, I would have to say get whichever you can get cheapest, but deffinatly pick up the other one when you can afford it. Both are very good games and both clear candidates for game of the year.

The MP statement is debateable. IMO the MP is COMPLETELY different between U2 and MW2. So it will be up to preference.

For SP, I would pick either U2 or Fallout 3. If you are an RPGish person I would go Fallout 3. Fallout 3 is also the best bang for your buck as you can easily make the game 100 hours of play even without the GOTY/DLC.

see thats the thing.. i WANT to be descent enough to play online or with friends, but im so bad at cod its sick.. I have cod 4 and i played online a few times and died almost instantly..

I dunno what it is with those games, i just cant aim right, and i usually get lost.. hell in the begining of CoD4 i got lost in the damn ship trying to get out before it sank for like 10 minutes..


I have excellent memory and direction in the real world, but in cod/map games, i couldnt get from the first floor to the second in a damn stairwell

I would go with a game you can play with friends, even if your a casual gamer you pick up the game pretty quickly and can have some fun.

i think my problem is i just cant get into the game cuz im so bad at it, then im just unmotivated to practice..

In Uncharted 2 you can create a Custom Match (i.e. no strangers killing you, no actual points) and just explore the maps, learn shortcuts and weapon placement, hiding spots and practice killing your friends with all of the weapons

If you suck at COD4, you're gonna suck at MW2, especially since there are lots more annoying kids playing now with nothing better to do then to get good at the game then there were when COD4 launched 2 years ago.

Uncharted 2 might be a better buy for you. I haven't played Fallout 3 yet so I can't comment on that one.

Uncharted 2. You can buy it from me...

Clearly, and my opinion should be taken with a grain of salt (as should all opinions). I just dislike when some people refuse to accept Uncharteds faults (extremely buggy multiplayer in some regions, jumps out at me [I get tired of my own grenades blowing me up when I just threw them far, far away etc...]). Also in the single player it sometimes cuts to cut scenes when you want to be playing the action, or you get stuck in objects, or suddenly fall through a the ground or similiar.

Uncharted 2 to me had a great single player, but the multiplayer whilst good, still needs a lot of improvement before it can compete with the multiplayer WM2 provides. Hopefully Uncharted 3 will have an even better multiplayer section and a single player that is as good as the first two. If the OP wants a fresh start in the online world, this is the first uncharted game to have an online segment, however I never really played MW1, but have got the hang of MW2 reasonably quickly.

As for Fallout 3, I hesitantly recommend it as most seem to love it, and I did to. That is untill I get tired of walking around and clearing buildings and it turns out there was absolutly benifit of doing so (but you don't know untill after).

Uncharted 2

[mj79]

wow , lots of replies there

Thanks everyone.. All i can do is practice up i guess , i know i have a giftcard for quite a bit , but if i bought all 3 and didnt like them or play them more than once it would be a waste of almost $200 ..

Especially since i wanna buy a new tv again, .. Anyone want a 9 month old samsung ln52a750?


its like when there is such a huge game with an even bigger following thats been out for 5+ years ( halo, CoD etc ) its tough to get into , cuz everyone else is so good at it .. Im waiting for the next big franchise game to come out so I can get a fresh start

[BluHavik]

Just my opinion but.. Fallout 3. Best game this gen IMO.
