    aarny91's Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (PlayStation 3) review

    Campaign was fine, but the multiplayer is where its at.

    When you hear the words Uncharted 2 you usually think of that pretty PS3 game with the fantastic campaign and that nice, but okay multiplayer. When I hear those words, I think the complete opposite.

    Among Thieves campaign is explosive, action packed, thrilling and all the many words to describe a Michael Bay blockbuster, but in the bits between it's a little repetitive and boring. Not to say it's not fun and hilarious it's just it can be tedious in some spots. Sometimes I felt I was just doing the same thing over and over again. Sure, there's some new quirky and fun dialogue, but I'm shooting the same few clones. I was kind of rushing towards the end as I wasn't enjoying myself as much as other people orgasmed over it.

    The multiplayer for some reason was the thing I stuck around for. I assumed it was just going to be a tacked on type of deal, but to my surprise I found it substantially more enjoyable than the campaign. The perk system is probably the best I've seen in a game. Climbable environments also changes the way multiplayer games are played completely... hyperbole be damned.

    I know I'm in the minority for most of this.

      I'm sorry, do you have a plan to go along with that grenade? 0

      I loved Uncharted: Drake's Fortune- it was a fun, action packed ride filled with great characters and witty dialogue. I wasn't really expecting Nathan Drake's second outing to be much different, and in short, it isn't- but it also doesn't need to be. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves takes the sound blueprint laid by its predecessor, and tweaks a handful of small problems that needed tweaking. The result is an even better action game, and one that no fan of the genre should hesitate to play.Nathan Drak...
