Story: Is amazing and engaging. The characters develop and you can get a feel to their personalities. Drake has to deal with old friends and acquaintances. There are several new characters and story just keeps flowing very well. The cut scenes are amazing, its similar to watching a movie.
Graphics: Best graphics ive seen so far! The environment is gorgeous and keeps making you think "wow, this is just beautiful." Just when you thought, how could they beat their initial quality with Uncharted 1, they did exactly that! They build the graphics engine from scratch from my knowledge. It was in an interview that was posted online. The graphics are like eye candy and the level of detail is simply awe inspiring.
Multiplayer: Works very well and lots of action. The controls are awesome and really addicting! I haven't played this a lot as I like to play the single player campaign more so I could complete all the missions thoroughly.
Game play: Very smooth and will make you come back for more! Its been a while, since MGS4 for me, that a game makes me come back for more. The fight scenes are extremely fun, its like being in an action movie.
Overall, the game is solid. They thought out everything from game play to the story very well. It is worth buying a PS3 for. If not, at least play it at a friends house to appreciate the level of quality Naughty Dog has achieved. They deserve all the sales and I pre-ordered the game and am very satisfied. This is the third game that I have ever pre-ordered.
My score: 10/10
In a list of games that defined the PlayStation 3, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves would certainly be one of the top contenders. The blockbuster sequel to 2007’s Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune not only received critical acclaim and became a massive hit for Sony’s third console when it was released 15 years ago on October 13th, 2009, but it also cemented Naughty Dog’s future as a developer of cinematic, story-driven action-adventure games as opposed to its history of colorful platformers like Crash Bandicoot and Jak and Daxter from previous PlayStation generations. To this day, Uncharted 2 stands as one of the PS3’s best exclusives and one of the most important PlayStation games of all time.
I loved this era on multiplayer games from Sony. People used to call the modes tacked on multiplayer but they were enjoyable. I loved Factions even more. I'm Still gutted that the second one isn't coming out.
Yeah, that one game where it not only has an amazing single player but the multiplayer was also just as good.
A fresh a breath air with it's more "skill focused, less is more" multiplayer in a time during COD fever where every other game with online was trying to be like it.
Shame NaughtyDog eventually did do COD like things with Uncharted 3 and 4, they ruined what made the original so good. It become an over the top arcade fest in the end.
Ironic cause the MP was basically Halo, and Bungie helped on the technical side of things too. MP was more simple back then, I've said this before but I played U2 MP religiously. I sucked at it like you have no idea, but mah gawd did I have so much fun. Can't find an MP game that hooked me like U2s these days. Then Factions came along and while it had its problem I found new religion with it. Agh damn it why did they cancel Factions 2 bruhh.
It is for sure my favorite game in the series. It's such a blast to play. The train levels still hold up and are fun as hell as well as the entire game.
Still remember the first gameplay video ... shooting the chasing truck and then the beautiful visuals & details whilst traversing the dilapidated Nepal streets ... perfection
Too bad Sony never ported the trilogy to PC ...
I'll say, the PS3 really did sequels better than people give it credit for. Resistance 2, Uncharted 2, Motorstorm Pacific Rift, Infamous 2... all were better than their initial offerings and still hold up to this day.
During MCM Comic Con London X EGX, CGM got the chance to be part of a press group interview with the stars of the Uncharted titles, namely the legendary Nolan North, who played protagonist Nathan Drake, Emily Rose, who portrayed Elena Fisher and Richard McGonagle, who took on the role of Victor ‘Sully’ Sullivan,
