This is the first time I have given a game a perfect 10, and I think it was a well deserved one! No wonder why uncharted 2 got game of the year, it was everything I look for in a game. The story line, weapons, enemies, and visuals were well thought out and brought out realistically! Drake was even more gutsy in this installment of Uncharted and the humor never fails in this franchise. Naughty Dog has something going with this name and I hope they can make it lasts with more stories.

The controls are very fluid and smooth, once you get the hang of them. The camera angles are almost always in the right spot and the voice overs kept me thoroughly involved. I really like games with mysterious story backgrounds and tales of mystic treasures. Especially when you can battle enemies with various weapons or use hand-to-hand combat. I didn't use much of the melee attacks in the first Uncharted, but I became skilled with silent attacks in this one! All in all a very great buy/play, I just pray they make more installments. Have fun playing!

After going through the first game when it was first released back in 07, I was astonished by the level of quality and game play Uncharted: Drakes Fortune delivered. It was by far the best adventure game I have ever played this generation and I was awaiting with anticipation for a sequel.

Uncharted 2 exceeded all of my expectations. The level of quality, game play, story, sound, everything was refined to perfection and bundled in this one game. After playing through Killzone 2 and Metal Gear Solid 4, I was with the assumption that the limits of the PS3 had finally been reached. I was wrong. This game just took it into a whole different dimension, a taste of what next generation of gaming will be like.

The game immediately takes you into a cinematic level where you must do everything in your power to survive; I swear I've never jumped out of my seat when I was engaged in a blood pumping experience, it was thrilling and enjoyable but also funny with Drake's priceless humor. The game sucks you deep into its world with a beautifully executed story line and character development but also intense action and game play that will keep your adrenaline pumping.

If Uncharted 2 gave me this much of a thrill going through, then I can't imagine what Uncharted 3 will bring us. Anyone who owns a Playstation 3 or is thinking of purchasing one should definitely buy this game!. I highly recommend it!.

Uncharted, is once again probably the best visual stunning games you will see on the Playstation3. Continuing into another adventure with a excellent storyboard as like the first, "Uncharted: Drake's Fortune".
For those who are new to the title, Uncharted2 is a traversing style gameplay(climbing around obstacles), with a Metal Gear Solid online multiplayer experience, and this game is what Resident evil5 should have been with the control elements of the character.

You play as Nathan Drake, a adventurer, a modern Indiana Jones, or better displayed as a Historical artifact thief going to places where he is usually trespassing. In this adventure, Drake is found by a old buddy, given a job that is to good to be true. Appearing as a easy job, Drake accepts it only to find himself mixed up into a adventure that risks his life once again.

Naughty Dog knows the Playstation 3's capabilities. Always creating lush foliage, vibrant in excellent depth, that makes you feel like your really exploring a remote isolated area. This time you explore marsh lands, urban districts, and other well detailed areas. They kept most of the controls the same, but now you can throw a grenade while aiming at the same time. The AI is still very hostile, but the soldiers you run into are more aware of their surroundings unlike the less tactical foes you encounter.

I wasn't too excited with the multiplayer; third person tactical games never really entertained me but being able to climb around is still really cool. All the multiplayer is team based Co-op as like the recent Socom game; which I also didn't like because Free For All/Deathmatch is what I have always favored in most online games. The online levels also are not very big, which makes the sniper rifle very pointless in the game, unless you have a team that is working together.

Other then that, the game is very well rounded. Great story, great graphics, great game elements. To eliminate the waxy textures, try adjusting the brightness.
