In the first game, there was the connection to Sir Francis Drake and the fabled treasure of El Dorado. Uncharted 2 is set about two years after the original, and this time around, Nathan Drake is after the lost riches of legendary Italian explorer Marco Polo.
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,

it's infamous and then heavy rain, maybe fat princess, and then Uncharted 2.. that's a lot of great exclusives
a gut feeling sony is going to aggressively flood the gates with a great number of 1st party exclusives, i just hope they do it smart this time around and spread their ips wisely, like maybe 2 different ips a month? like i can see infamous and mlb 09 can take march? than furter down they can do wardevil and heavy rain or the agency and demon souls, and so on and uncharted 2 with mag and a new ratchet n clank at the end of the year? instead of just waiting to squeeze all these ips at the end of the year. just my thought, than next year the same could go with GT5 and GOW3, syphon filter, ico, twisted metal and many more. this way gamers can always have something different to choose from all year round not counting multiplats ofcourse, now i wonder if ninja theory is going to make a sequel to heavenly sword now that and the return of a getaway 3, legend of dragoon, rogue galaxy, omga boost, dark cloud, wild arms, jak n daxter, sly, jet moto, coolboarders, tourist trophy , and a few others would really make my day ofcourse until the clones start to saturate the market again .
This game is absolutely beautiful. KZ2 may have trouble retaining the 'best console graphics' title after this releases.
