Since the original Uncharted has been my favorite game on the PS3 thus far, I've been itching in anticipation to get my hands on the sequel, which is only 2 days away. I'm just so pumped to finally play my most anticipated game in quite a while. When the Quick Look for Uncharted 2 came out I tried not to watch it, but just could not resist. Since it was very important to me not to ruin any of the story elements I kind of censored their video a bit for my own good. When ever Brad or the characters began discussing the story I would just mute my speakers, and when there was any kind of path-finding or chapter selecting going on, I would just cover the screen and look away. It was just enough for me to see Brad's opening gunfight (death included) and a little bit of the platforming.
I'm happy to see that, from at least the review side, this game is living up to the hype. Hearing of all the improvements Naughty Dog had made to the gameplay was good news of coarse, but I'm really excited that they made the story about 1/3 longer this time around. In preparation for the new title I played through the original again, making it my 10th play through. Knowing the new story is a little more fleshed out and engaging is really exciting because if you really wanted to you could play the first game in one sitting, even on a harder difficulty setting.
I've planned my whole week around the release of this game. I'm going to hit up the single player story first, then take the game over to a friend's and do it again there. I know many of you out there are just as eager to play this game as I am and I hope the sales of this game can influence Naughty Dog to carry on the Nathan Drake franchise for more adventures to come.
ps: Now that they've added such a compelling multiplayer on top, I hope to see many of you online (I'll be the one carrying the golden idol).
