Hype can do one of two things for a highly anticipated upcoming title. It can spark interest in a game that no one really cared about beforehand, or it can increase buyers' expectations to a level that, no matter how good or great the product may be, it will never be able to reach those daunting heights.
Sony's latest blockbuster, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, has been so hyped and s... read more

Eighteen months later, when Marco Polo arrived at his destination, only one ship remained and only 18 passengers survived. Although Marco Polo described every aspect of his adventures in detail, he never revealed what happened to these lost ships, passengers or treasure on board - even on his deathbed. Drawn in by the potential riches to be found - but most inspired by the intrigue of the historical mystery - Drake embarks on a quest to find the lost fleet. He soon realizes that Marco Polo was hiding a much bigger secret - he had gone on a secret expedition on behalf of the emperor to find the mythical kingdom of Shambhala (otherwise known as Shangri-La) and to recover the legendary Cintamani Stone, the "wish-fulfilling jewel" of Buddhist mythology. The Stone is described by Marco Polo as a massive raw sapphire - if it truly exists, it would be worth billions of dollars today. This discovery sets Drake on a new course following Marco Polo's 700-year-old trail through a diverse range of exotic environments to find out if the lost city of Shambhala, rumored to lie deep in the Himalayas, really exists. This quest also pits him against a new, more formidable adversary who is after the same artifact - a ruthless, rogue paramilitary leader with a private army and a relentless ambition to recover the stone for himself....

Hyvinpitkälti samanmoista menoa kuin ensimmäisessä osassa. Räiskintää oli edelleen liikaa, mutta tälläkertaa se ei ollut ihan niin perseestä. Toki tälläkin kertaa kuolin muutamaan otteeseen vähän turhan usein kun en vaan tiennyt että mistä helvetistä mua ammutaan. Pistetään se nyt kuitenkin mun huonojen pelitaitojen osaksi. En oo tarpeeks ADHD.
Stoorista pidin ehkä hieman enempi kuin ensimmäisessä osassa tai en tiiä. Ihan kivoja tarinoita ollut kumpikin vaikka n"

The game that made me get a Playstation 3 and never regretted one thing about it. Uncharted 2 is one of the best action games I have ever played, and excellently blurred the lines between gameplay and cinematics while at the same time telling a compelling adventure story. The combat is a lot of fun, the platforming, though fidgety at times, feels very authentic and its multiplayer is surprisingly good. The game is a console technical marvel, pushing all the technological limits of the PS3, res"

Much better than the first one. They found the balance between the shooting, the climbing and the puzzles and everything is just better in every way.
The story is still pretty simple and predictable, but not necessarily in a bad way. It actually gives it a kind of a nostalgic feeling, like watching an Indiana Jones film.

I don't really see how this game got so many perfect scores. It's good, yes...But giving it a perfect score is a little iffy to me...I almost considered giving it an 8, honestly. I settled with a 9 because it's well done and the story is pretty nice...and a lot of the chapters are quite fun. But, many of the problems from the original Uncharted still linger here - like ocassional cheap deaths in the platforming aspects...And I don't remember this happening in the original, "
