Summary

Game Description

See more videos ››

Uncharted 2 by Sony is a third-person action game that features new gameplay mechanics, such as stealth action segments, and changes the climbing mechanic to allow free movement over walls, in a manner similar to Assassin's Creed. Nathan can flip over certain pieces of furniture to use as cover. Drake has a darker side in this outing, and you learn what makes him a thief. The A.I. matches the new action-stealth gameplay, as enemies have peripheral vision, so they hunt for Nathan if he briefly appears in their vision cone, and enemies interact with the environment more, following Nathan as he climbs on buildings or jumps from ledges.

Uncharted 2 Among Thieves

This game looks like MGS4. This game makes you just want to keep playing and playing until the game is finished. The good thing about it is that its not in first person. It looks great.

Best Game of All Freaking Time!!!!!

this game truly delivers. it has an amazing story that surrounds a historical figure and a mystery hundreds of years old. the dialogue is one of the best parts of this game. Nolan North does an A+++ job as Nathan Drake. the banter in this masterpiece is actually funny and i laughed through it all. the gunfights have been polished from the original uncharted to a point where it needed multiplayer. speaking of which is the second best part of the game besides the story mode.i already have the platinum trophy and a Marco Polo skin for the multiplayer. i never knew he had such a sexy skeleton. anyone who doesn't like this game obviously hasn't played it. this game is something i will be playing even when there is a PS9 and i am 72. buy this now.

The Best Game Ever Made. Period.

I am going to make this very short.
For over a Decade there has only been ONE game that I called "The Best Game Ever Made", and that game was Ocarina of Time. For over 10 years I have played games that have come close, but none have dethroned the number one spot from Zelda. Games like Mass Effect on the 360, and Metal Gear Solid 4 came so close, but not quite close enough. Nothing came close enough. Until Now.
Uncharted 2 is, and I mean this, The Best Game I have Ever Played. There is no question about it. And this is coming from a Non Fanboy. I would say the same thing if it came out for the 360, but it didn't. The PS3 is now home to the Greatest piece of entertainment I have EVER laid eyes upon. Uncharted 2 is perfection on a disk.
Why is it so good? Uncharted 2 follows a simple rule that makes the difference between a game, and an experience. Uncharted 2 makes sure that YOU are part of the experience. It wont cut away to a movie scene and show your Nathan Drake doing something that you yourself can't do in the game. It won't cut away to a movie scene when an awesome action sequence plays out either. No, it makes sure that YOU are a part of everything. If a train derails and comes flipping down the tracks while pieces of it's body are chipping off and explosions keep it gunning directly toward you, you feel like you are actually there because the game manages to make it look like you are watching a movie, but at the same time, you still have control of your character.

There are dozens and dozens of scenes like this. Scenes that no other game has even attempted to do. And your heart will race and a smile will go from here to eternity when you play this game and experience what I can not put into words.

If you ever wondered what it felt like to be in an action movie with a fantastic plot, characters, and action, there is no Equal. Uncharted 2 is the Best Game Ever Made.

Uncharted 2 Is Proof of PS3 Power

I picked up this gmae the first day it came out and popped it in as soon as i got home. From the moment i started this game i knew i had something special on my hands. This game never seemed to let me go at all. I had to play the entire game in one day because it just wouldnt let me go. The story is fantastically told and nothing feels forced. The visuals are exuberent here. there are so many details that i was impressed.The music is in my opinion very fitting of whats going on. every beat made me feel awesome. The controls here are awesome. Not once did I find my self angry at the controls. a nice little bit that i enjoyed with this game was that it has multiplayer. Its just so fun to be the bad guys and shoot drake and company. there are many online modes like deathmatch, plunder (think capture the flag), and co-op to name a few. The transition from single player to multiplayer is easy, but theres gonna be 5 other people to worry about shooting you. If you have a ps3 you want to pick this game up. And yes, there really aren

  • Sep. 29, 2009 Review: Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

    Uncharted 2 is just as good, if not better, than most Hollywood action movies. With fantastic production values, a cleverly written script, great voice-over work and refined gameplay, Uncharted 2 is the second best thing that could have happened to the PS3 going into the holiday shopping season. With Kratos riding the pine until 2010, Nathan Drake steps up to the plate and delivers a homerun for Sony.
