One word: AMAZING
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is an amazing game, and Game of the Year without a doubt. This game takes everything that was so amazing in the first game, and bumps it up a whole new level. The combat is not longer frustrating at all, platforming is easier and puzzles are more fun. The story is amazing from start to finish and the characters are possible the best characters ever created in video games. Now the graphics, WOW. These are without a doubt the best graphics ever (yes, even better than MGS4). You can see everything from sweat to dirt on Drake's face and all the other characters look great also. The game also has excellent co-op and multiplayer modes (with 3 player co-op and 5 vs. 5 multiplayer) which are insanely fun and addictive. So what are you waiting for? Go out and buy Uncharted 2 RIGHT NOW!!!
