If there was a way to top the first uncharted, the sequel accomplished this by far! The game not only had an outstanding storyline but also the gameplay was almost improved in every aspect. The addition of stealth and an increase in weapon varity followed up by a few new characters, you get an almost perfect game!
I will first start with the story, outstanding!! The scale and length are almost excatly what someone would want. The only place where I can say that would be a nice improvement would be gameplay time. The game is roughly 12 hours long and even though it wa a definite increase in gameplay time from the first game it wasn't a huge increase. When I think of gameplay content in a story driven game my pedistal is Metal Gear Solid 4 so that might be a bit unfair, however this game may be a close second as in quality of content.
The gameplay improved on almost every aspect. Each fight scene felt like an actual accomplishment when completed and was challenging enough to require some thought rather then just run and gun. The stealth option was a nice addition as it added some thought to each fight sequence. There were fewer puzzles (which I was bummed about) however they were still fun but not to challenging. The overall flow was excellent and nothing ever seemed to out of place when playing through the game. I would have to say the gameplay was almost flawless (variety of weapons could be better and a little less linear path choice would be nice additions).
The graphics again did not disappoint!! The scenes with water and mountain top views was almost surreal. The attention to detail was absolutely amazing. The character animations and cut scene details were perfectly done. The voice acting again was superb and maybe someday voice over actors will get Oscar nominations (I wouldn't say this game necessarly).
This is a must play for anyone who owns a PS3 and is an absolute blast!
