Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

If you liked Uncharted 1 (Drakes Fortune) this follow up is an absolute must. It follows the story from the 1st game well with the 3 main characters all making an appearance at some stage as well as some interesting new ones. The story line is fantasic and as other reviewers below say, the game is so well planned it's just like watching a film, except you get to be the hero! Gameplay is smooth and faultless, large maps and areas to explore, loads of action with baddies, vehicles and towards the end even Yeti's! Sound effects, music and autosave all brilliant. Probably the best game I have on the PS3, and I'm hard to please! Buy it, you'll never regret it.

Sequel to one of the very best games on any system this gen, which makes this game THE best game on any system this gen, which is a fact, even over ModernWarfare2 or MetalGearSolid4 - check it, this game scored a true average rating of 96/100 across all reviews which is higher than any other game this gen and it's justified. If you don't own a PS3 then this is the killer app to own one for, and if you do own a PS3 but haven't played this game yet or you haven't bought it then definitely you should. This game will be GameOfTheYear for 2009, guaranteed.

Can't believe no one has reviewed this yet! undoubtedly the best overall experience of any ps3 game released so far. a must have!!

the cinematography is excellent
the campaign is challenging
the story line is essentially as good as a movie

as the title says, its EPIC!!

This game not having played the first, i believe this game is fantastic in quality graphics and gameplay combining all sorts of popular game stlyes for example gta for style of shooting and aiming, prince of persia for the running and also metal gear solid for the stealth, the game consists of around 24hours of gameplay that does not get boring, it is also extremely addictive, but the story line gets a little bit streched near the end, but overall the game is of brilliant quality so if you like games that combine action, adventure, shoot em up, then this game is the one for you, but i believe wait until this game goes down in price first as the 24 hour gameplay is quite short for the standard price mark at the beginning month- 2 month period, but as soon as it gets cheaper without a doubt buy this game.

I bought this game based on the strong/near perfect reviews.

This is NOT perfect.

The animation is STILL clumsy and slow to respond, the shoot-outs STILL take far too long (and there are too many of them), the puzzles have been seen many, many times before, etc, etc, etc.

I was a huge fan of the first Uncharted. It was a real showpiece of what the PS3 could do. With all the talk of the improvements that have been made I fail to see any of them in this product.

Graphically it's very good (and there are thousands of beautiful women in the world that are dull). This game like many new games looks fantastic, but where is the gameplay?

I can't stress enough my disappointment playing this game. Don't be fooled by others. This is not the best game on the PS3. It may be the best looking and it ends there. Invest in something deep (not as good looking) like Dragon Age.
