I'm a big 360 lover(that came out wrong). but i finally brought a ps3 and this was my first game for it.
I don't think iv played a game in such a long time that i have felt advanced game play and graphics so much.
everything about this game was so epic. and is probably my new favorite game.
Should i go back to play uncharted 1 or will it sour my experience now that iv played this one? iv heard that this game is much superior.
or what game should i try out next? i was thinking Heavy Rain or infamous .
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
Game » consists of 14 releases. Released Oct 13, 2009
Nathan Drake returns to find the lost secret of Marco Polo, in this sequel to the 2007 sleeper hit Uncharted: Drake's Fortune.
This was my first PS3 game, I loved it. should i play the first?
I'd go for Heavy Rain or InFamous. Uncharted 1 is a great game but not as great as the second and when you go back you can tell.
Ya, uncharted 2 was my first PS3 game too. I actually didn't really want one until that game came out.
I'm not a fanboy of any system, having all the systems I think (PS3, XBOX, PC, WII). They each have good games. I tend to find more games I want to play on the xbox though so my PS3 collection is still small. Plus I'm broke lately. That'll change eventually though.
But ya, Uncharted 2 was definitely a system seller. Uncharted 1, i'm told (i haven't played it) isn't as good game play wise.
Yeah Uncharted 1 is pretty much a quick run through very similar green environments, shooting way too many enemies - all of which are much harder than in Uncharted 2 - and of course, the frustrating lack of checkpoints doesn't help. Yes, it's a good game, but I also played Uncharted 2 first, and some parts of Uncharted 1 were just plain shitty.
If you just want the story, you can watch an LP. There is a good one at

I agree with the people who said Metal Gear Solid 4.
or if you're looking for a challenge try Demon's Souls.
it seems a lot of people here took a similar path. I also started out on the 360 and my brother and I got a PS3 for Christmas last year and this was the first game I played through. It absolutely blew me away and once I found the first game I was extremely excited to jump back in. Although it's a pretty good game, it's nowhere close to being as good the 2nd game turned out. At first glance, the game looks sort of ugly after you've played through Uncharted 2, but in relative terms, most games do. The gameplay isn't as tight and the shooting/jumping sections are less interesting than 2, but I'd say that the story was pretty close in quality to the 2nd game. It's definitely worth checking out (it's not very long) and you can probably find it in the bargain bin at this point. Hell, we all need something to hold us over for a couple years until the 3rd game comes out, so you might as well get your fix in eventually.
I've noticed a real negative opinion on the first game over the years even though I remember a fairly positive buzz on release.
Anyway I loved it, and its definitely worthy of a purchase. Oh, and I have revisited it after playing 2 and I agree that it doesn't feel as polished or complete as the second game, but then a sequel is expected to improve on the predecessor isn't it? (If it hadn't improved and built on on the original it wouldn't have done as well as it did...Crackdown 2 anyone?)
is it possible for me to enjoy mgs4 without knowing anything much about it? i played the very first one. but i don't remember a thing. it just sounds like that game references a lot of its past.
" Should i go back to play uncharted 1 or will it sour my experience now that iv played this one? iv heard that this game is much superior "Just because Uncharted 2 is superior doesn't make Uncharted 1 a bad game. Shit, Uncharted 2 is superior to most games. You'd be an idiot not to play the first.
After that, play Heavy Rain.

It depends on your situation.
If you just have some money to spend on a game, I'd advise you to go for a different one since U2 is pretty much superior
to U1. Buy infamous/God of War 3/some other awesome PS3 title (PM me if you'd like me to share some of my favourite titles with you).
If you're just curious about the story, I'd say go for it. I liked U1 very much and it's an awesome game altogether.
Also, listen to the guy who made the Persona reference. I couldn't put it better.
If you liked this game as much as it sounds like, I would definitely go back and play the first game. The second game is better for many reasons, but that doesn't take away from how good the first game really was. I have played through the first game two times and I want to play it through a third time to get my last Trophy.
I don't think your experience will be worse for playing the first game.
I loved Uncharted 1, though I did play it before I played 2. I still think it is pretty awesome, but I know you will like the cutscenes more than you like the gameplay in it. It is not a bad game, they just ironed out a bunch of things in the sequel.
