    Uncharted_2_updated_PS3_logo.jpg

    U2 will go down as the game that defined the PS3 and brought life back into it. It was Sonys first 1st party "must have". A lot of ppl forget the first Uncharted was considered a flop when it came out. U2 took the Uncharted franchise from nothing to something.

    Its also one of the highest rated games Ever, and won a large majority of GOTY awards in 2009.

    A solid RPG that didn't get much hype

    Why was it considered a flop? It got solid reviews all around.

    @joshuaboy... Not really. I think it only got a 8.0 on Gamespot.com. While 8 is "solid" it's definitely not what a flagship title should be getting. Drakes Fortune initial sales were also terrible. It wasn't until U2 came out, that people went back and started buying Drakes Fortune.

    Now it's one of the most popular franchises in all of gaming.

    Uncharted 1 sold one million copies within the first ten weeks after it's release. Considering how many people owned PS3's in 2007, that pretty damn good. Wouldn't consider that a flop at all.

    IGN gave it a 9.1. Metacritic has an overall avg of 88. Yea, initial sales weren't great. There wasn't much advertisement and it dropped a week before COD4:MW.

    9.1 and 8.0 from the two biggest media outlets in gaming.... That's good, but not exactly a system seller.

    Also... COD wasn't the sales monster in 2007 that it is today. MW had huge legs... it actually ad a pretty small opening sales week. It really sold on word of mouth at first.
