"The gameplay was one of the very few qualms gamers had with the first Uncharted and I am glad to say that it has evolved greatly in this sequel. The repetitiveness of duck and cover gameplay in the original is complemented by many changes of pace in Among Thieves. Whether you are running from a truck barreling down on you, escaping a collapsing bridge, or on a runaway train, the pace is anything but constant. Uncharted 2 also introduces a stealth option to the mix. The player can now sneak ar..."

"One of this holiday's biggest releases is the Playstation 3 exclusive Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. Which is a good game with a big problem. And that problem is called Uncharted 1.
The first Uncharted was a revelation for its characters. The romance between Nate and Elena was well written, subtly animated, and expressively acted. No game had done characters so well on all three of those levels. Furthermore, Nate himself was a great everyman, the quintessential charming rogue in a genre full ..."

"One of Uncharted 2's strongest points is presentation. Naughty Dog have just about flexed every muscle to make the game look completely unforgettable. Spanning several locations which each have a different feel, helpfully represented by an intriguing palette of colors. From the luscious forests of Borneo, and Ice caves of Tibet, to the train wreck and urban sector of Nepal, there is always something that catches the eye. Landmarks and sudden events such as tumbling boulders or explosions are ..."
"When Nathan Drake first graced the still new PS3 back in 2007 with Uncharted: Drakes Fortune, we were all in for a pleasant surprise. Part shooter, part platformer, Uncharted was a fantastic game which demanded a sequel. Little did we know, 2 years later, Naughty Dog would create the killer app that would truly show off the power of the PlayStation 3. That game is Uncharted 2: Among Thieves."
Gamesradar recently reviewed Uncharted 2: Among Thieves and they were impressed, giving the game an 9.3/10 and telling gamers "If you own a PS3, you need this game".
SPOILERS AHEAD:
[Uncharted 2: Among Thieves forum]
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves will launch in the very near future. With a lot of hype and anticipation surrounding it, Naughty Dog and Sony are about to unleash one of their biggest games ever. Could it be one of the best games of all-time, though?
"1UP's Thierry Nguyen writes,
"For me, Raiders of the Lost Ark is the perfect movie. It doesn't feature an Oscar-bait story about issues or feelings, nor does it feature a stunning performance from a mute Norwegian captured on 16mm black-and-white film. It just shows what happens when a creator with superlative skill applies his craft towards a genre he loves; Raiders is the ultimate mashup of action, adventure, romance, treasure hunting, James Bond, Uncle Scrooge, Nazis, and relics of Bibl..."
"More than any other game to date, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune seems to define the PlayStation 3. Naughty Dog's 2007 jungle romp starring the one and only Nathan Drake gave gamers a taste of what it would be like to play as an acrobatically-inclined Indiana Jones. 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.
Now Naughty Dog returns to..."
"Since we briefly played Uncharted 2 at Gamescom in Cologne recently and were part of the multiplayer Beta, we expected it to be pretty good, but shittin’ crikey, not this good.
Sony has searched long and hard for their killer-app - a sole reason to part with your cash - but have come up short. Killzone 2 had good-looks but offered very little in terms of originality. LittleBigPlanet was mega-fun but too niche for many. Ratchet & Clank is great but too juvenile to win over the hardcore mass..."
