PS3 Review: Uncharted 2 Among Thieves

Uncharted 2: Among Theives is the sequel to Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, a game that defined the PS3. Uncharted 2 had many expectations to live up to and Naughty Dog, the creator came through making the game even more amazing then the first.



Like it's prequel, Uncharted 2 is a fast paced adventure full of challenging puzzles, high-octane gunfights and interesting locations. The game-play is excellent with a singleplayer campaign that makes putting your controller down very difficult and multiplayer games modes that give you variety away from the campaign. The stunning visuals that rival most of todays video games, along with the fantastic storyline make the game so much more belivable.

The Good:
The reason Uncharted 2 is such a great game is that unlike the first game, the singleplayer campaign travels through many different and exotic locations; whereas Drake's Fortune is only based on one island. Along with the great locations, Uncharted 2 has easy to learn controls and the puzzles are hard enough to make you think, without making you throw your contoller through the t.v. The gun battles are much more diverse then the fights in Drake's Fortune where you would hide behide cover and pick off your enemies. Now you can climb to higher ground for an advantage or sneak around, dispatching your enemies with stealth. These factors along with some of the best graphics in the business make for a game you'll spend hours playing.

The Bad:
Lke the first game, Uncharted 2 is in 3rd person unlike most action games that play in 1st person. This isn't all bad, but if your new to 3rd person it can take some time to get used to. At times the game also gets a little bit repeatitive, but usually by the time you notice you are changing location and that helps keep you on your toes.

I give this game a 9/10 All in all this game is exciting and fun and will give hours of intersting and challenging gaming.
