Easily one of the most frustrating games I've played on the PS3. I haven't played uncharted 2 because of how frustrating those bullet sponge enemies are, and how cheap the gunfights in the second half of the game are. Thank god its over and I can play Uncharted 2.

Hmmmmm.... 
 
Sounds like you just suck!

Yeah, Uncharted 1 was frustrating. And boring.

Uncharted 2 is a great game, a really great game.

I found it fairly easy on crushing difficulty.   You could corner shoot(hug wall and bullets go through it if your crosshair is on the enemy) in this game and the enemies would not be able to shoot back at you.

I loved Uncharted 1.  Uncharted 2 makes Uncharted 1 look like dogshit.

Loved uncharted 1, but I'll agree that it has a lot of issues. 

Uncharted 1 hasn't aged too well. Thankfully bulletsponge enemies are replaced with some tightened controls and balanced gameplay in Uncharted 2. Which you should play like.. right now.

Uncharted 2 actually has head shots. Rejoice!

I feel your pain mate. I'm still stuck playing through Drake's Fortune on crushing. I just want the bloody platinum. Especially after uncharted 2's platinum I got in about 2 weeks. Sigh.. trophies ruin me sometimes

Uncharted 2 is great and everything, but I liked the first Uncharted a lot and don't think the leap between 1 and 2 is as massive as everyone pretends it is.  Uncharted 1 reviewed like 8-9 across the board and deserved it -- and that was back when it was cool to shit on everything PS3 related.  What I think I'm saying is...

Uncharted 1 definitely had head shots

@AjayRaz: It did, but headshots were so hard because the enemies were always bobbing their heads.

To OP: Give Uncharted 2 a chance, it improves on SO MUCH from Uncharted 1.

Wow, you're wrong.

It's not even subjective.

You're just wrong.

Uncharted 1 is a flawed game, and it is pretty frustrating, but it is still a great experience, and it's one of my favorite games of this generation. 
 
Uncharted 2 is still a little frustrating at times, but it is miles better than the original.

I found little enjoyment in Uncharted: DF. I know I am supposed to like it because I am a PlayStation fanboy. Now I have Uncharted 2 sitting in shrink wrap, but I would rather just replay Valkyria Chronicles.

The ending was the most frustrating part about Uncharted 1 for me.  You only have one gun, and they just barely give you enough ammo to survive. And your cover is destructible. And the enemy's are bullet sponges. 

uncharted was a boring fuckfest of a game I couldn't wait to be over with. 2 was much better even though it did have equally frustrating moments. I think i'm done playing dodge-the-snipers missions.

I understand why someone would get frustrated with Drake's Fortune. There was some messed up shit with that game for sure. 
 
Drake's Fortune was still a good game nonetheless. Among Thieves blows it out of the water, though.

While it's true that U1 had bulletsponge enemies, it shouldn't have brought you any problems on the normal difficulty. If you found the game frustrating, maybe you just weren't good at it.

Uncharted was tough, but worth playing.

I really didn't think Uncharted 1 was that hard. I just shot guys in the head, getting around the whole sponge problem. To be honest, I didn't even notice they were sponges until I tried the game on crushing.
I guess I'm just freakin' awesome.
 
 
But yeah, Uncharted 2 makes Uncharted 1 look like garbage in every way possible.

I eventually turned it down to easy because I got so sick of the enemies absorbing bullets, and that final boss fight was still a pain. I didn't find much enjoyment in that game. I think it might have soured me a bit on 2 as well, because while I recognized it to be better, I wasn't having much more fun.

i thought the first game was quite easy, even on the crushing difficulty. 

I really dug Uncharted 1, but it's true, 2 kicks major ass.
 
And yes, Uncharted 1 did have headshots!

I thought the shooting was better in Drake's Fortune than Among Thieves. I'm pretty oriented for headshots so the sponge thing was never a problem in Drake's Fortune, but in Among Thieves it seems like every enemy is wearing a stupid helmet.

Even Uncharted 2 had its own frustrating moments. When you're playing those games, expect to die and replay some sequences quite a few times, unless you're playing on the lowest difficulty.

UC 2 is to UC 1 what AC 2 is to AC 1. So if you caught all those acronyms, you know that it's way better!

I died A LOT in Uncharted 1 and I died A LOT in Uncharted 2, but I still enjoyed both of them. I just accept the fact that I suck at video games.

The aiming in UC1 isn't that hard actually. It's just that the rifles in the game are really inaccurate. I always get head shots with the pistol. Same goes for UC2 actually. 
 
The way I always pictured it was that the pistol was like Nate's lucky gun, and whatever rifles he had were improvised/stolen off his fellow pirates.

Agreed. I was glad I played it, but man I was ready to throw my controller out the window in the final stretch.

Hmmmmm....

^I don't understand.

I felt the same way once I beat Uncharted 2.

didn't it even have trophies for headshots?

I guess it did, but i remember it being pretty precises about it.

I don't understand how most people like shooting guys in Uncharted 2 better, that's what makes me attracted to the first a little more more than the second. I disliked it the first time I played it, then I played it again for a second time, and loved it, played it again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again. Well, I think you understand.

@DriveupLife: This blows my mind and the fact that so many people are saying they are bad games.....wow...

I liked the first game a lot and didn't have any issues with a lot of what everyone is complaining about. I thought i sucked at VG's but am feeling better now. Thanks.

WoW! There is a lot of Uncharted hate in this forum...

I really like the story in Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, but I totally agree that some those gun fights were annoying. 

yeah uncharted 2 is a great improvement over 1. I actually got the platinum for 2, and is still the only game I've bothered getting platinum with. I almost considered getting platinum for 1, but then I remembered the jet ski sequence in 1 and said "OH HELL NO!" so yeah.. Uncharted 2 actually wasn't toooo hard more me once I took advantage of stealth kills.

I don't regret playing through the first Uncharted. It was often frustrating, but the story was good (until the crazy stuff at the end). I actually took the time to get a platinum trophy in it. I also would not have gotten the same satisfaction out of the sequel. To see the improvement from the first to the second was incredible, and Among Thieves is among my very favorite games of all time.
