Uncharted 2: 40% Puzzles, 60% Action

August 21, 2009 in News comments 5

Naughty Dog states that Uncharted 2 will have about 60% of action, and 40% of puzzles, a far cry from Uncharted 1, which was, what, 10% puzzles? Those looking for a slightly more cerebral experience will be pleased- but hopefully, there won't be too many of them. The last thing we need is a male version of Tomb Raider.

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves will be about 40 percent puzzle-solving and 60 percent action, but developers Naughty Dog hope you don't notice that.

What they want you to notice instead is the pacing of this second entry in the franchise, that the action is more tense, the exploration more seamlessly integrated into the title and the puzzles more subtle.

    Personally if it's anything like the first the puzzles will be self explanitary and won't take up much time. I mean Uncharted Drakes Fortune had a fair few puzzles but they were that simple they passed by fast. As long as they don't have us collecting cogs that are scattered in awful places guarded by t-rex's then i'm fine with more puzzles. Quite frankly i'm fine with an Uncharted where Nathan Drake isn't a sociopath and only kills a few people in self defence. I know it's a game but it is quite frankly laughable at times having an everyday man exploring areas and while he's at it, killing more people in one level than the guys of Gears of War would kill in an entire game.

    Uncharted 1's puzzles were too easy. I think ND listened to the complaints. But this is a good mixture.

    If this game is anywhere near as awesome as Jak 2's story, then I'll love it to bits.

    Luckily for me, Naughty Dog always impress me most with the 2nd entry in their franchises. Jak 2 - I adored. Crash Bandicoot 2, was my favourite. Uncharted 2 looks to continue the awesome trend!

    If this game is anywhere near as good as its graphics, it'll be the best game out this holiday.
