Is this game worth buying a ps3 for?!

I would say so, And get a PS3 anyway since there's plenty of good games for it anyway.

" I would say so, And get a PS3 anyway since there's plenty of good games for it anyway. "

Absolutely yes it is  worth buying a PS3 for this game.    

No, a single game is never worth buying a whole console for. However, the PS3 has a library of fairly good games and this is not a bad one to play if you enjoy shooters at all. If you're going to do something, especially expensive, you might as well have several reasons for it instead of just one.

if your interested in other games than yes but if your only buying a system for one game than no its not worth it.

" No, a single game is never worth buying a whole console for. "

uhm... yeah I would say so, but buy Uncharted 1 first. ;)

A single game is never worth a new console, but it can be the straw that breaks the camel's back when there are others out that I've been interested in.

No individual game is enough to warrant a console purchase.

why do people keep saying a single game is not worth buying a console for?  ugh we get it already.  obviously if you buy the console you'd continue to check out other games for it.

yes yes yes. do it!

I am going to agree with a few people that have already posted before me, and say that one game is not enough to buy a system, but PS3 has more then a few great games that you should play, so I would say get one for sure!

Indeed it is, that goes along with plenty of other reasons though..

You are wrong. I did this for the Nintendo 64 with Zelda Ocarina of Time, Wii and Mario Galaxy, PS3 and Killzone 2. And I've never been disappointed afterward. Because of course, you always buy a console for a specific game (or 2), but each system have their own advantages. Halo 3 and Gears are the 360 sellers, while Uncharted 2 and Killzone 2 are the PS3 sellers (and GoW 3 and GT5 next year). In that case, yes a game is worth buying a console for.  Also, 300$ is not the world... that's not even 4 days of work, come on! "

I liked Uncharted 1.  And after beating Uncharted 2....honestly?  No.
 
It's a tad overrated.  A lot overhyped.  The game is good, don't get me wrong but not a SOLE reason to buy a PS3.  Maybe there was so much gushing over it that I expected too much.  The story was pretty lame imo, first game's was probably better.  The main boss was disappointing.  It seemed like they tried to do a little twist thing in this game that was pretty similar to the first game where you fight normal guys the entire game and then suddenly they throw a different enemy at you near the end which felt kinda tacked on.   Guess I shouldn't say more since it is getting spoilerish and why can't I click the spoiler tag ;/?
 
Demon's Souls was the best game I've played in a while.  PS3 + Uncharted 2 and Demon's Souls combo is a system seller imo.  I still need to get my hands on Ratchet and Clank as well.

" @Bolduk: Please read my whole post, I said that one game is merely one reason to buy a console - if you don't have other games, you don't have other reasons. Most people have lots of other games that they "have an eye on" and that one game is a "deal breaker" or, as Icemael concisely put what I was trying to say, a "system seller" not because it's the only reason but because it's a major part of the reason.

You mentioned that you bought Halo 3 and Gears, but I bet that you had at least 5 games (if not probably more) on the Xbox that you thought were good before you seriously decided to go out and buy it. You might have decided to do it for one game, but that would be called "compulsive purchasing" and even if it's "only" $300 USD that's still a lot of money - it's more than the monthly car payments for many people I know. I'm betting that you don't have to do things like pay for car, phone, utilities, and mortgage, but many people who do know they can't afford to blow that much money without preparing for it for more than 4 days, even besides a large segment of the world that doesn't get paid as much as most of your prospective jobs. "

Yes. Drake is worth turning gay for.

THis "

No single game is worth a console purchase, but Uncharted 2 combined with Sony's great library and titles to come make another good argument for purchasing a PS3.

yes

Lets put it this way: I own an Xbox 360 and am a Die Hard Halo fan, Bungie fanboy and well... 
 
I want to buy a PS3 primarily to play this game. 

Mot for me.  I am yet to buy a PS3 and UC2 is not even close to making it worthwhile.  Maybe when FF XIII comes along, yet I can still get that for my 360 (but I would rather get it for the PS3).  Action adventure games are largely me'h to me.  This will be a budget buy eventually and nothing more.

Actually, it depends on what you are going to do with your new console. Will it be the primary console you'll play on? Do you plan on buying other games after Uncharted 2?
 
Personally, I think it's the best time to buy a PS3. It's cheaper than ever ($299), the slim version looks sexy, the exclusive games are mind-blowing, it got the most varied games library, built-in wi-fi, blu-ray player, huge hard drive disk (120-250 GB). And the 2009 games line up was amazing. Even the 2010 line up (not even fully announced) is looking to be the best year ever for gaming and especially for PS3. Don't forget that the two flagship titles of Sony (God of War 3 and Gran Turismo 5) will be released in spring-summer, so you'll have plenty of reasons to keep your PS3 turned on.
 
All in all, Uncharted 2 is probably what's best on the market in the current gaming generation, so that's one hell of a good start. If you are going to buy other games in the future for your PS3, well then yes, Uncharted 2 is worth buying a PS3 for.

No. One game can never justify the purchase of a whole console... but it certainly helps.

Yes, but it shouldn't matter. Sony's library of exclusive titles alone, is enough for anybody who is truely into gaming, to want one. Anybody who still isn't interested in the PS3, either can't afford it (which is fair enough), is in denial or just plain stupid.

Justifying buying a console for only one game is a bit hard, but if you did buy a PS3 you would love Uncharted 2, and i'm pretty sure you would come to enjoy the console and all the things it has to offer.

If you own a 360, no it's not worth it because the library of games are mostly the same on each console except for the few exclusives. If you don't own a 360 then BY GOD WHY DON'T YOU OWN A CURRENT GEN CONSOLE YET!? Get the PS3 right away! 
 
Then again if you're cursed with a large sum of money and have to depart with it. Then go ahead and get it anyway.

I would say.. Hell. Yes.

I disagree with you about the exclusives. PS3 is on a rampage right now. 360 had good years for exclusives (2005-2008). But now's the PS3's turn. All of my buddies or family who bought a 360 are now switching for PS3... it seems it's the right choice as of fall 2009 and early 2010. Don't ask me why, but every single person I know is getting somehow... bored of their 360. Yes 2009 was slow on Microsoft's side, but it's not the only reason. The PS3 is cheaper than the 360. And while I must say that the 360 online services are better than PSN, most arguments people told me are: built-in wi-fi and free online services. Maybe it doesn't seem like it, but people do care about investing $150 into a system that is said to be the best and find it kind of frustrating... Basically a complete 360 experience is about $450 (360 Elite, Wi-fi, Live 1 year subscription) and the PS3 is $300 with everything the 360 has to offer (except maybe online services) and has the advantage of the blu-ray. Sadly, there is another point, the 360 had a slow year for exclusives, and it's doing a reverse situation for the PS3. Remember in 2006-2007 when everybody was looking at the PS3 like a piece of junk? Well Sony finally got their revenge lol.   I wouldn't have bet a dollar that the PS3 would be that strong in 2009... but Sony proved me wrong. "

i respectfully disagree. Uncharted 2 is a great reason to buy a ps3. Its not like this is the only thing he'll use it for folks. its just the one reason to say, you know what, I SHOULD own this thing. And then he can pick up some of the other GREAT games (fairly good?! come on now). "

I believe we are summing it up to, no if he only he is getting U2 and never playing it again. "

nope. but if you get a ps3 you should definitely check it out!

no, but Haze is
