Nathan Drake has nothing on Mike Powell 0
Mike Powell is the current world record holder for long jump in case you didn't know. If Uncharted 2 protagonist would compete in such a track and field event's he would surely be world record holder in no time. Luckily for Mike, Nathan is in to a modern day treasure hunting and probably does't care too much about such things. Nathan Drake was already after his ancestor Sir Francis Drake's treasure on the first Uncharted game. There was not lot wrong with that game. Only problem I had wi...

Second installment of what is probably the best PS3 franchise 0
Lately I have been saying that the Uncharted series is the best PS3 franchise. I was reminded recently how good the first one was and now, as I play again through the second, the feeling is just confirmed. Uncharted is the best PlayStation 3 franchise. Period. This game improves upon the original game in every way making it one of the best action-packed gaming experiences you will find and though it is not perfect, it is darn near close.Among Thieves sees Drake return to go on another treasure h...

The Magnum Opus of Gaming 0
I play games 2 times seldomly. The only ones i have have been all of the Sly Cooper games (Sly 4????) and Half life 2. Ill add Uncharted 2 to that list. This game is 99.99% perfect, and should be played by every gamer at one point in their life. This is the epitome of "Next Generation" Gaming. The story finds our hero Nathan Drake on a quest to find Shambala (El Dorado) and the promise of extreme wealth with a few other characters along for the ride like the oddly cute Chloe and the stubborn old...

HERE'S the great game they raved about. 0
Fortune seeker Nathan Drake, wakes up wounded in a bad situation. Later on he blacks out and remembers all of the events leading to his dilemma. His quest began when he decided to try and steal an artifact from a museum in Istanbul which lead to him later searching for the mythical city Shambhala. -summaryUncharted 2: Among Thieves is a game I refused to pick up during its original release in 2009. I waited to grab this game for a much lower price for one reason. I did not want to fall victim to...

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Review 0
By - Craig H.Uncharted 2: Among Thieves takes place roughly 2 years after the original Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune. Just like the original Uncharted Nathan Drake is after another treasure this time the hunt is for Marco Polo and the mystery behind his lost fleet. The game starts out with Drake wounded on a train that his hanging precariously off the edge of a snow covered mountain. It is up to the player to guide Drake safely back up to solid ground before the train plunges into the abyss. After ...

GET LOST IN UNCHARTED 2 0
If you liked Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune you will love Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. If you haven’t played the first Uncharted, it is a 3rd person action game with some platforming sequences heavily influenced by the Indiana Jones movies. The first thing you will notice in this game are the high production values. Critically acclaimed publisher Naughty Dog really went the extra mile to deliver an action packed movie like experience. The graphics are phenomenal. The voice acting and story writing a...

Pros:Beautiful graphics, best ever madeGame play is great and varied and well refinedOnline is fun and addictingStoryline and characters are great and engagingCons:Puzzles are a bit easyUncharted 2 is certainly a game with alot of praise and hype, but are people simply over exageratting and just blinded by it's stunning graphics?

Definitely one of the best action experiences gaming can offer. 0
Uncharted 2 Among Thieves Review To set the record straight, I don’t think Uncharted 2 (by any means) is bad. However, after playing through the game and going back to my favourite parts I just don’t think it deserved 9 game of the year awards. I mean come on, the last game that did that well was Resident Evil 4, and that was... well... Resident Evil 4 you know. Maybe you need to have played the first Uncharted in order to appreciate all the improvements here I don’t know... Anyway, as I ...

You must play this game if you are an action/adventure fan. 0
This review is for the single-player of Uncharted 2.Ucharted 2: Among Thieves improves on many of the things players have come to love from the first game. The first thing players will notice when they start their journey is that not much has changed in terms of how the game controls which is not necessarily a bad thing since Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune had great platforming controls. Those who played the first game will feel right at home with the controls and the subtle detail of Nathan Drake’s...

One of my top 5 Favorite Games of All Time 0
As Nathan Drake, you wake up inside a train that is hanging from a snow-driven mountainside. You have no clue how you got there or what is going on. Your only option is to climb up from the inside without making too much motion and the send the train careening off the side. Oh yeah, and your covered in your own blood.This is just one of the many examples of how Uncharted 2: Among Thieves separates itself from most titles simply by putting you in extraordinary situations where you must rely on yo...

Campaign was fine, but the multiplayer is where its at. 0
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 th...

A nearly endless series of set pieces and exhilarating shootouts 0
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is a very easy game to recommend. It takes few chances and it doesn't break a lot of new ground, but it packs a huge punch where it counts. It has its flaws, but none of them detract enough from the gameplay to make a difference. There are so many spectacular firefights and action sequences that it would be next to impossible to not enjoy this game. Add to that some excellent production values (especially the graphics), and Uncharted 2 makes one impressive package.I li...

'Masterpiece'' a game where there are no negative sides 0
Gameplay : First time that I have ever enjoy an aventure game and have no negative comments to bring up. Naughty Dog has made a game like this wich will be remembered forever. Nathan Drake in search for a hidden treasure in this place called Shamballa and the story is just great there is so much to say that I cannot compare this game to another one.You start the game and its already mind blowing the cutscenes are magnificent and the story is great because it keeps you interested to know what wil...

I'm Gonna Try to be Objective Here 0
I was a huge fan of Drake's Fortune. It was great, but it wasn't without it's flaws. For the sequel it was obvious that Naughty Dog accounted for those problems and turned a contender for Game of the Month, into a top favorite for Game of the Year (All Years) . I don't want to drench this review in fan boy goo, but I have to get this out there off the bat. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is one of the best games I've ever played. Now that I have that out of the way, lets get to reviewing. What...

Gaming Perfection 0
I really loved Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. I had none of the complaint of length or lack of replay value that I heard from others. Drake's Fortune was funny, breath-taking-ly beautiful and just a whole lot of fun. In spite of my high praise for the first Uncharted and my hugely inflated expectations for the second the wizards at Naughty Dog managed to completely surprise and delight me in every inch of this game. The Great: You get to play the most astounding cinematic moments ever in a vide...

Amazing looks, good voice acting, and wonderfull to play. 0
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is probably the best game to hit the Playstation 3 (exclusive) since Metal Gear Solid 4. The visuals are excellent in 720p, and the gameplay mechanics work very well, with a few exceptions (sometimes can be a little struggle when wanting to climb or jump). The campaign is varied in difficulties, going from pretty darn easy, to probably going to make you throw your controller a few times "hard". The story continues from the first game, where Drake finds hiself looking f...

If you have a PS3 you need to get this game 0
If you want a game that's a combination of the best of Gears of war, Call of Duty, Halo 3 and Tomb Raider you have come to the right place.Uncharted 2 is easily the best game I have played this year and the real reason to buy a PlayStation 3. I never played the first Uncharted but it got some pretty solid reviews and still to this day is one of the best looking games on the market.I'm not really going to go over the story because I don't want to spoil anything but all the different characters y...

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves 0
You would think that with “Uncharted 2: Among Thieves” being the biggest Sony release of the year that a salesman at a particular gaming store would know what Uncharted was all about. Oddly enough though, when I went to pre-order the title a couple weeks before its release I was asked by an employee of this company what Uncharted was. After overcoming my shock at this individual's ignorance I gave him the following description, “Its like Tomb Raider with a dude, but better.” Obviously tha...

Naughty Dog has learned some lessons 0
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves has absolutely no problem with what it is, that being a aggregation of mechanics introduced in titles long since released for public consumption. However, few would argue that said workings pull any of the strings that make this game a unique experience, and rightly so. What Naughty Dog has done here is to improve upon everything that people loved about the first game, and in doing so they’ve knocked the ball out of the park.The predecessor to this ...

Best PS3 game yet, you it to yourself to try this game 0
Wanted to make a thread for this game since it deserves its own. This game is amazing, easily my favorite action game of the past few years if not all time. The graphics are amazing, the story is great, the dialogue is some of the best you'll ever hear, and the action is just unrelenting at times. I just beat the game on normal after two days of play and after I post this will probably go back and start over on hard. If Tomb Raider and Gears of War has a child it would be Uncharted 2. The gun ...

Uncharted 2 is a summer blockbuster game... 0
To be honest, I was planning on not buying Uncharted 2. With the amount of games coming out in the next month I was seriously considering purchasing it next year. I'm glad I didn't... Uncharted 2 takes everything that was awesome about the first game and makes it longer, prettier and more bad ass. The gameplay is better, namely the stealth mechanics and grenade throwing. The graphics, which were perfect in the first game, have somehow been improved. The story, coupled with the best voice a...

Uncharted 2 is the Reason I Own a PS3 0
My eyes began to tear-up due solely to my inability to rip my gaze away from the TV screen as the credits rolled in the seminal gaming experience that is developer Naughty Dog’s Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. Two words lingered in my mind like a benediction: Holy. Crap. Often funny, sometimes poignant, and always entertaining, the further adventures of Nathan Drake - treasure-hunter and descendant of legendary explorer Sir Francis Drake - prove that Naughty Dog has succeeded in crafting ...

One of the most satisfying gameplay experiences out there 0
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is a rare game that delivers in spades despite the impossibly high expectations and massive hype train leading up to it. Uncharted 2 easily stands shoulder to shoulder with any other critically acclaimed release, successful release. However, it doesn't do this by introducing some amazing new gameplay mechanics or pushing the envelope for what we expect from a game. Rather, Uncharted 2 is a tightly designed, meticulously constructed game that cranks everything up t...

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Review 0
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is the continuing story of Nathan Drake, explorer and adventurer of the world. In this next chapter Drake is tasked with trying to find the location of Shangrai la. He will have a number of characters to help him out, and also stop an evil man from reaching the city first. This game is a PlayStation 3 exclusive, and I have to say right off the bat that other console owners need to be jealous of this fact.Graphically this game is beautiful. Its not just the characters,...

Uncharted 2" Among Thieves 0
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves How could I give a bad review to a game that allows the user to play a round of Marco Polo on a roof top pool? Yes, that really is possible in the game, and it unlocks a nice big PS3 trophy. Uncharted 2 is to say the least, awesome. There are not many changes from the first game, with the exception of a few user interface options (grenades are now thrown with the R2 button); even the opening music is the same. The high level of challenge is still intact, but this ...

Please note: The videos in this review may contain spoilers, so watch at your own risk as well as the review itself may have some too. There are so many words I can describe Uncharted 2: Among Thieves: awesome, amazing, epic, mesmerizing, breathtaking, mind-blowing, suspenseful, and lastly gaming perfection. While the first Uncharted was a great start for the franchise, this sequel is everything it could of been in the first place as it is way better than the original. Everything is ...

Action packed amazing adventure 0
Overall I have to say that I was very impressed with the gameplay and the amazing visuals. I was not a huge fan of the first game but that maybe since I never completed it. However when I first started playing Uncharted 2 it was non stop, I got the game from gamefly on Weds and beat it on Sat. The beginning is amazing then slows down but then it fires right back up. I have to say the controls are solid and the difficulty is very casual so just about anyone can enjoy what the game has to offer. ...

9 hours, 42 minutes and 12 seconds of awesomeness 0
Uncharted 2 has gone over all my expectations. I remember I downloaded the Uncharted 1 demo way back in 2007 and hated it, so my expectations for this one were basically the same. But suddenly tons of positive reviews went up, and I had to buy it even if it was going to be a crap. I bought it this Saturday morning and started playing it around 22.00, and suddenly I noticed it was quite late, around 03.00 I thought, I watched the time and it was 06.00. I played over 8 hours without pause (which ...

It's hard to put into words 0
You can't review a game 3 days after its release date and call it 'the best game I have ever played' and expect people to take you or your reviews seriously from that point onwards. I am aware of this. The fact that I even have to be thinking about this says a lot about how much I liked Uncharted 2. The original Uncharted was my introduction to the PS3 and having sat down overnight with a friend and played right through it I was very impressed. There was some trouble with the combat, with enemi...

300 dollars well spent, add some taxes in there too. 1
So finally, I met Mr. Drake. Am I Satisfied? DUDE…….Let me explain, I am not going to lie I was a huge skeptic of the "Cell Broadband Engine" and it's magical "Synergistic Processing Elements". Sure it looks excellent on paper; actually it looks incredible on paper. I needed to see this tech in action myself, so I took the plunge; I purchased my first Sony console ever, a PlayStation 3. I lost my virginity to Metal Gear Solid 4, thank you Mr. Kojima; I was then introduced to ...

The Raider's of the Lost Ark equivalent of Video games. 0
Naughty dog has always been the developer who could take ideas from other games and blend it well together in their own game. So it was with Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, which combined platforming and heart pounding gun battles, with gorgeous looking environments. Although while that game wasn't a explosive Hit, Uncharted 2: Among thieves has just bumped itself into the flagship title of the PS3. Sorry MGS4. What seems to be the focus point i this generation of consoles, seems to be the ...

Huge improvement over LAST YEAR’S MODEL 0
Uncharted 2 Among Thieves is one of the most fun exciting a thrill a minute action adventure games in a long time. I have played a ton of games, although never have reviewed many of them guess I should start. Most games I like taking my time and enjoy them I try not to rush through. I broke that habit with Uncharted 2. I could not release the DualShock 3 from my hands. I got extremely involved with the story, characters and the beautiful world Naughty Dog has brought to life. I truly enjoyed the...

Uncharted 2 is simply this, an amazing action-packed thrill ride. 0
Now I'm not the first person to say this about Uncharted 2: Among Thieves but, dude, this game is crazy. And I mean it in the best of ways, simply put Uncharted 2 is a blockbuster action/ adventure without the dissapointing length of most all blockbuster movies/games. The story starts out in a pretty bizzare way, with the protaganist, Nathan Drake sitting in an old train car covered in blood. What follows is one of the games most tense and beatiful sequences. And thats pretty much how Uncharted ...

It's like a made for TV Movie with amazing Special Effects 0
Don't let ambitious game critics fool you with their over use of the word 'Narrative' when describing how wondrous this game is. That word has lost it's meaning, having been used up over the last year by Reviewers who have little concern for the literal meaning of the word, who can't quite convey what it is about a game that makes it so damn good. So they throw in the word Narrative because their editor have told them the use of the term 'plot' has become passe. Let's stop using literary dicti...

I completed Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (PS3) on Normal mode. WOWOWOWOW. What an awesome adventure. Everything you've heard is true. This is one of the best games ever! The production values are through the roof. Uncharted 2 basically takes everything that was good from the first Uncharted and ramps it up ten-fold. The graphics are absolutely gorgeous. I found myself staring at the locations and examining everything. The water effects are some of the finest I've ever seen. The lighting an...

Uncharted, a series often compared to Tomb Raider which also gave it the nickname of Dewd Raider. I’ll be honest this game is very similar to Tomb Raider…. There’s just one thing that sets these games apart… TOMB RAIDER SUCKS!

Late Bird Review: Uncharted 2 0
If you haven’t played Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune by now, stop reading and go play it. If you own a PS3 there is no reason for you to not have played that game. No, it is not necessary to play the first game to understand the second. But, much like how God of War II completely improved the gameplay of its franchise, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves obliterates the original. It is essential to play the first game solely for the purpose of appreciating the work that Naughty Dog put into this game. T...

Why are you reading this review. You should already have bought this if you have a PS3. It has great graphics, characters, levels, gameplay, story and a not bad multiplayer. The gameplay consists of melee, third person shooting, with some stealth and cover based mechanics. The really cool thing about Uncharted 2 is how it has you do so many things with just one set of controls. The story is always doing something awsome while never geting confusing or boring, although it is only around 10 hours ...

You know what I love in a summer movie? Story lines of epicness, Characters with great personalities, Adventure, and explosions. The closes thing that I got to a perfect Summer movie with all that was the Last Indieana Jones movie(yet I wounder why people make fun of that movie). Now here's a game that has all of that, and manages to be better than Indieana Jones 4 and 2, and all of 2009's summer block busters.

The Best Action Movie of 2009 0
Originally posted on my blog In my office there hangs a picture of Marilyn Monroe, a woman synonymous with beauty and sex appeal, but when you get closer to that picture the outline of Albert Einstein replaces the blonde bombshell. Uncharted 2 is a exactly like that. It’s hilarious to me that in a world where I want people to stop comparing video games to movies, I find myself so enthralled by what is actually the best action movie of last year. I’m pretty sure that I said tha...

Uncharted 2 Review 1
It was good. I liked it. It was fun. I give it a five out of five on the fun-factor. Have I typed 270 words yet? I sure hope so. I also hope someone likes/dislikes this review. Because you should. So, here comes some more praise/filler. Uncharted 2 had good gameplay and was immersive. The characters were good. Drake was voiced by Nolan North, and he was good. Elena was good too, as well as Chloe....
