Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is less than a month away and game journalists are happily reviewing their copies now, lost in the rich and graphically amazing world of Nathan Drake. Early previews had been extremely positive and now as the first reviews leak to the web it sounds as if the initial response the game received was well warranted. IGN declared "With stunning visuals (that still rank amongst the best in gaming today), a fantastically told story, great puzzles and high-octane gunplay, it's easily one of the best titles of this console generation," and GamesRadar gushed "Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. It looks amazing, plays like a dream and the voice-acting/story-telling will hook you in right from the off. PS3 officially has its killer-app."
By all accounts, Uncharted 2 is a masterpiece.
So it's time to cue the journalistic hate.

Nevada Dru from Bits & Pieces revisits Uncharted 2: Among Thieves to see if this legendary game has stood the test of time.
Currently playing Drakes Fortune on crushing, next will be to replay Among Thieves, but I'm sure it still holds up today.
I thought the originals were good, but not great. I understand that puts me in the minority here. That said, Uncharted 4 was freaking fantastic.
I think Uncharted 2 is a lot like AC2. Both games took the idea and basically improved it in every single way.

The entire final chapter of The Lost Legacy is the best setpiece in the series and it wasn't even mentioned.
I don't play sales, I play games.
Some of the best games I ever played were not really big sellers(just as this authour stated). That being said I have a feeling that this one will sell massively and probably move a few PS3's while it's at it.
I think Sony is coming around with their advertising now and with some proper promoting this game is destined to be huge.
AHAHAH asking journalist to be non-biased is like asking Bobby Kotick to not care about money, or Gabe Newell to not like cheeseburgers! I mean seriously. Its the little thing called the internet and as long as its around we will have flamebait articles that make zero sense.
Will they friggin stop saying "PS3 finally has its killer app"?
PS3 already has tons of killer apps, damnit. These guys are all stuck in the past with the whole "PS3 has no gaems" thing vehiculed by X360 fanboys.
I don't doubt this game will sell, but lets be honest. This article is taking things way out of proportion. No need to overhype something. Overhypness leads to disapointment. The ps3 has witnessed this with Haze, Lair, Socom confrontation, and tons of other games. This article is just digging the grave deeper for sony. No one here has ever played and completed U2 so No one here is capable of saying its a good game. As of right now we can only judge by ScreenShots. Which i got to admit look good, but real gamers know graphics arnt everything. Majority of the best ps3 games sell 1 to 2 million at most. My prediction is Uncharted 2 will bypass this limit to 3 million. Maybe if sony were to take note from MS's advertisment team then they might be able to get U2 to sell as much as the legendary Halo3: 10million copies sold as of today. And yes i know what im talking about i own both systems.
