People since informed me that the press did get to access multiplayer on may 4th and some earlier dates, but I still have a problem with the way the majority of reviews were written. It's clear that many outlets didn't participate in the mutiplayer review opportunity, and many that did dismiss the mutiplayer as non-important and post a generic paragraph about how it adds to the packages lifespan. Gamesradar explicitly say that 'no one buys Uncharted for multiplayer'.
There's a lot of really crappy journalism surrounding the review coverage of this game.
It's a huge shame, because the Multiplayer is the best playing TPS on the market bar none. That's something to be commended, yet somehow it's not mentioned in any of the reviews and they brush it off.
I don't get it. I suppose it's because the single player tends to be sooo good that it just isn't something reviewers focus on.
Meanwhile, other TPS games like Gears, I feel get more attention to the MP for some reason.
