An Xbox guy's take on Uncharted 2 multiplayer.

First allow me to clarify on the "xbox guy" thing ; I do almost all of my online gaming on Xbox with the exception of Socom and Killzone 2.
Ok, with that out of the way I'll get to the point.
So I just got through playing my first 10 or so games of Uncharted 2 multiplayer and I think I'm already addicted. I downloaded the demo not really expecting anything special (even with all the reviews gushing over it), hell I wasn't even expecting it to be multiplayer, I thought it would be a single player demo. I enjoyed the first Uncharted but I didn't think it was as amazing as alot of people and so I kind of expected all of the gaming press to go crazy over it, they tend to cling to certain games sometimes (while they can also be shitty towards others, but that's another story). So when I saw that it was a multiplayer demo I almost didn't play it, but man am I glad I did.

First the map design is really good and the locations are varied, giving each new map I played a fresh look. The guns are very fun to use and the game types are great. I played elimination, regular team deathmatch, pistols only team deathmatch and a shotty snipers game. I played more than that but those are the ones that stick out. The climbing is really fun and the gunplay is very satisfying. The only times I had trouble with aiming was in close quarters, but I get that same problem in Gears of War so it's no big deal.

Overall I am very excited for the release of this game now and, surprisingly, am itching to play more multiplayer. Here's to hoping that the rest of the game is as good as the multiplayer.
