A lot of cutscenes and information that might be far to revealing in this review, at least it felt that way to me-

thanks for the warning, ALL the video reviews have spoilt the game for me is this a new trend or something, specially gamespots and gametrailers, bastards.

...bubbles. I was just about to click when I read your post. I'm only 30 minutes away from playing the game now and so please I didn't watch that.

How you ask? well, I'll share you my story...
I bought Arkham asylum at wal-mart on release date, which gave you this one day awesome deal of $38.99, then goes back up to $59.99 the next day and As much as I wanted to open and play it, I found out that uncharted 2 was about to be released within a month. So instead of opening my batman game, I held on to it till this day and returned it back to wal-mart.
I told the customer service lady that I lost the receipt, but was wondering if I can just exchange it for another game?
she said, okay no problem... SO I grabbed uncharted 2 and guess what?! she scanned batman:AA as regular price of $59.99!! Lol!
so when I swapped the games, I basically got uncharted for what I paid for batman:AA $45.00 with tax.
ah.. what a Great Day...

Have fun with Uncharted 2, picking up my copy today or tomorrow (all work and no play).

!!!!!!!!!spoiler Alert!!!!!!!!!!!

Why do reviewers do this? they review the game with video footage of the games main story without any warning... Why don't they just show multiplayer gameplay if they want to show gameplay footage. I guess it's true what they say about videogame journalists, they are very unprofessional.

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

P_Bomb1453d ago (Edited 1453d 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_Mal1452d 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_Bomb1452d ago (Edited 1452d 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.

MadLad1453d 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.

Profchaos1453d ago (Edited 1453d 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

Rimeskeem1453d ago

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

Movefasta19931452d 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.
