IVG Review: Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

IndianVideoGamer writes:
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves isn't perfect, but then again no game is or ever will be. The bottom line though is that no matter who you are or what kind of games you like, if you own a PlayStation 3, there isn't a game available yet, or any game that will come out in the remainder of this year – exclusive or multi-platform - that demands your attention more than this does. It is the pinnacle of story-telling in video games, as complete a single-player experience as you can ask for, and without a doubt, one of the greatest games ever made.

Yet another amazing score.

Gamers who don't own a PS3 are really missing out on the majority of this year's must-play AAA games.

i can't wait to check out co-op and multiplayer! this game has everything

Syronicus5321d ago

If you do not play this game, you are missing out on the best game this year. PERIOD.

If you disagree, you are a fanboy that hates games.

eagle215321d ago

Naughty Dog delivers again. :)

"and without a doubt, one of the greatest games ever made."

preach on...

MUST BUY!!!

raztad5321d ago

UC2 is getting massive praise from left to right. It' s good to see a big consensus about the quality of this game. You cant afford not to play it if you consider yourself a gamer, not even Bungie employees missed out this gem, why should you?

meepmoopmeep5321d ago

meh,

i'll rent it

*ducks behind desk*

:)

(ok, don't take this serious, doood, it's my most wanted game since MGS4)

(+) No game has ever told a story so well
(+) The best looking console game. Period.
(+) Great mix of combat, stealth, platforming, and puzzle-solving
(+) By the way, it’s got co-op and competitive multi-player too

Anyone who rates ODST same or higher, than Uncharted 2 is clearly biased or halo fanboy(and still biased).
These 2 games are just in different leagues.

Uncharted 2 FTW! =)

Cyrax_875320d ago

so why aren't they being added to metacritic? I've seen around 8 reviews for U2 but only 3 are up.

You're looking more retarded by the minute. The pinnacle of gaming, period.

itchy185321d ago

i didn't read gamereactor's review, can you tell me why they gave it an 8? were they nitpicking?

ReviewsArePolitics5321d ago

-"Not enough puzzles" (he must think it's tetris)
-"Semi-stupid AI" (as opposed to semi-smart?)

All other review sites have said that the AI is fantastic and that the game is excellent, so at best he was nitpicking, but docking off two points is just plain retarded, especially when THE SAME REVIEWER game Halo ODST, a generic game with short campaign and rehashed multiplayer. Seriously?

Even worse, the guy from Gamereactor couldn't stop praising the game in the review anyway, he even said that U2 surpassed Spielberg in cinematic storytelling, so his 8 was either for hits or MSFT propaganda. What's worse is that the "Second Opinion" gave Uncharted a 10. Gamereactor is worthless.

Ron_Burgundy5321d ago

even the best games of all time can get bad reviews, on metacritic one of the reviewers gave Goldeneye N64 a 78, the only bad review, so it serves as a reminder

El Botto5321d ago

We have UNCHARTED 2, YOU DONT! Hahaha

What do you have?

You have Underwhelming ODST DLC. Hahaha

Currently playing Drakes Fortune on crushing, next will be to replay Among Thieves, but I'm sure it still holds up today.

P_Bomb1446d ago (Edited 1446d ago )

Recently re-platinumed 1-3. Uncharted 2 aged better than I even expected. I enjoyed it more now than I did a decade ago. It’s more polished than 1, tighter than 3 and Yemen in 3 was gorgeous. Shambhala out-prettied Ubar though. 60fps w higher res’ made for a damn good rerun.

Abnor_Mal1446d ago

Question: When you say Uncharted2 aged better than expected, are you talking about the original PS3 game or the remastered collection on PS4. I ask because I think that a remastered version of the game would look and play better than the original.

I doubt that the original ran at 60 frames, how many years old is the remastered collection anyway.

I need to replay the original trilogy along with the collection, not a fan of the collection trophy of beating levels in a set time and don't think the originals required that for platinum.

P_Bomb1445d ago (Edited 1445d ago )

@abnor_mal
It’s true that the remasters have upped the resolution and given it 60fps, but the base game is the same. The art design and base textures/physics/ animations are the same yet still look contemporary. More-so than UC1 which isn’t as tight, or UC3 in some cases which I found a bit clunky in close quarters.

UC2 level design was a great evolution in bringing the verticality from the jungle into rural/urban settings while maintaining smooth animation transitions. Drake still moves better than the ginger in Star Wars Jedi. Outdoor areas are better lit.

UC2 also has more action and better pacing imo, which helps when replaying a game 10 years later. Kept me engaged.

You don’t need to time trial for platinum. They stuck the speedrun trophies in a seperate extended dlc category so have no fear.

MadLad1447d ago

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.

Profchaos1446d ago (Edited 1446d ago )

Yeah I understand the hate for 4 prior to playing it I was firmly against it and felt like 3 wrapped things up already but now after playing it I think it was the best in the franchise.

Now I look back at two and I feel like I'm playing an on the rails shooter everything is so tightly scripted including the infamous train scene you simply can't make a mistake

Rimeskeem1446d ago

I think Uncharted 2 is a lot like AC2. Both games took the idea and basically improved it in every single way.

Movefasta19931446d ago

Uc2, AC2,Halo2, Soul calibur 2, Killzone 2, Infamous 2 , Dishonored 2 and a few more. The only negative thing I have against uc2, and imo it annoyed me,are the blue apes, uncharted 1 handled the super natural far better.
