Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (PS3)

I didn't buy the original Uncharted until it's price was down to a bargain price of £10, even then I wasn't sure about buying it, but then it received a patch for trophies - so I went ahead and bought it. I enjoyed it somewhat, a lot more than other adventure games and enough to make me buy the sequel at its full £40 price tag. ===~~~ Story ~~~ === The story picks up 2 years after the original; with Jake (voiced by Nolan North) trying to discover ...
...the computer AI and in Uncharted 2 it is good, without being anything special. At first it's quite forgiving on you. For example when you're trying to sneak up on someone for a stealth takedown, if the guard is looking at you, he'll turn away so that you can take him down from behind. This doesn't happen as much as you progress through the game, but you're still not spotted if you go towards someone from the side. The enemy AI don't just turn a blind ...

Review of Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (PS3)

...action from here – but Uncharted isn’t your average adventure game. Your first task at the controls is to clamber up the outside of the increasingly unstable carriage, your nervous ascent contending with falling debris, howling winds and unreliable footholds. For a few magic moments, I was the lead in a Hollywood Blockbuster, with scripted CGI events melding into real time and back again (note: get used to this too). This chaotic and bewildering ...
...power locked within it. Uncharted is an embarrassment of riches, but for me its crowning glory rests either side of that perilous climb for survival over the Tibetan mountains. That scene directly follows simply the best train-top scramble I’ve ever played. It’s a breathless way to begin the ascent to Uncharted’s climax - dodging fire from helicopters and hanging from the sides of the carriages, while desperately trying to avoid the onrushing signal ...

Review of Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (PS3)

...== I enjoyed playing Uncharted 2 as a single player and as a multiplayer game. The graphics where great and lovely to see. You can interact with so much. Even blowing up gas canisters or doing mini puzzles. I cannot really find any faults with this game. It has 5 levels of hardness on this game ranging from Very easy to very hard. I have played both Uncharted games and i must say i have enjoyed them and found them to be value for money. Uncharted ...

Review of Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (PS3)

The graphics and storyline in this game make it fun for the whole family (at least age appropriate family). The action is much smoother and the game more realistic with the addition of silent attacks and even more breath-taking scenery than the first. The storyline flows great with the addition of new characters and adventures for Nathan Drake. The multiplayer adds hours and hours of replay value making this a great christmas buy for parents looking ...
...I'm bored with my x-mas gifts" effect. Multiplayer also allows for multiple players to play on one console which is not a widely implemented feature on the PS3 yet. The biggest draw for the teenagers plus age groups is the draw back for younger children. The witty humor and innuendo present throughout the game could be offensive to some buying for younger children, but add a certain realism for the older gamer. ...

Review of Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (PS3)

Uncharted 2 has got too be one of the best, PS3 exclusive (to date), games i have played this year. Its awesome graphics and mind boggling story line makes you feel as if your right there in the action. In my opinion, Naughty Dog (the creaters of Uncharted and several other amazing games) have certainly out done themselves and are deffinately maintaining their five star reputation in the gaming industry. Uncharteds amazing online multiplayer mode ...
...fact if it were to be sold as a seperate game, there would be mile long ques outside of each game shop. Evan though the story line is quite complex, the stage throughout can be quickly completed - however this does not deminish the enjoyment factor. Uncharteds brilliantly paced adventure and varied combat sequences set this game out from other games. Its thrilling acrobatics and exploration activities allow the game to become more exciting and enjoyable. ...

Review of Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (PS3)

...I was unsure of how Uncharted 2 would fare against such games as Assassin's Creed and Little Big Planet. However I received a very pleasant surprise. From the opening levels it is clear this is a fantastic game, with great gameplay and interaction between the characters. If you have played the first Uncharted before this, you will know that the gameplay is very good and there is not that much changed in that aspect, but then again, how can you improve ...
...can play from the age of about 10, but there is still enough difficulty in the later levels that even hardcore gamers will become stuck by. In my opinion it is most certainly the best game I have bought this year, surpassing call of duty: world at war and killzone 2 (both very good games in their own respect). I encourage people to buy this game, as it is both refreshing and huge amounts of fun. If you still aren't convinced, look on metacritic and ...

Review of Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (PS3)

...minute I started to play. Uncharted 2 builds upon the first installment's firm foundations, and the result is a sequel which outperforms its predecessor in every way. The story is complex with many plot twists and turns played out by extremely realistic character personalities, which is helped by absolutely top notch voice acting. The story has you pitted against other ruthless treasure hunters in a race to find an ancient artefact (I shall try to ...
...If I were asked to describe it in one word, I would use "seemless". Everything from the character animations to the destruction of the environment, the cover system and shooting mechanic all work to perfection. It is these reasons I believe that Uncharted 2 deserves a straight 10/10. ...

Review of Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (PS3)

As always I have managed to find it cheaper than the best price on here, £34.85. I know it is only three pound but as I always say it all adds up! I will provide the link at the bottom of this review! This game is simply bigger and better in every way! Far surpassing its predecessor in graphics, gameplay and storyline. I would go so far as to say it is Naughty Dogs best game. It certainly makes use of all that the PS3 has to offer. I wont go into ...
