Glowing reviews for Uncharted 2

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves has finally hit store shelves and has already proven to be a smash hit among the gaming media elite.

With scores across the board that are virtually off the chart, Uncharted 2 is guaranteed to become an instant classic. A vast improvement over the original Uncharted game, the sequel sees fortune hunter Nathan Drake return in a blistering third person action/adventure/shooter created by award-winning developer Naughty Dog, exclusive to PlayStation®3.

With improvements in graphics, level design and overall gameplay (not to mention a fantastic online mode via PlayStation®Network) Uncharted 2 is the game that PS3 owners have eagerly been waiting for. The reviews below speak for themselves.

IGN
It's very, very good. It's easily one of the best games on the system, blending fantastic presentation and visuals with gameplay that is practically second to none. And then there's the stellar multiplayer which you'll probably be playing until Uncharted 3 ships. No, Uncharted 2 is not perfect, but it's closer than pretty much any other game out there these days.

The spectacular combination of generation-defining visuals, high adventure and cinematic intensity makes Uncharted 2 absolutely essential. There aren't any reasons not to own this game. [Nov 2009, p.64]

Eurogamer
Whether or not the multiplayer sticks, however, is arguably a footnote, because at the core of Uncharted 2 is an action-adventure masterpiece whose minor flaws are washed away on a tide of rhythm and spectacle - one that would still be an essential experience even without the option to pull your friends off cliffs and play capture-the-heirloom.

Uncharted 2 is simply a vast improvement over its predecessor, and it's a damn great PS3 game. Let's leave the "are games art?" question for another time; what Uncharted 2 proves is that games are, at the very least, craft. Just as Raiders is Spielberg at the top of his game, Uncharted 2 is Naughty Dog at the top of theirs, and further proof that they are masters of their craft. [Grade = A+]

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. It looks amazing, plays like a dream and the voice-acting/story-telling will hook you in right from the off. PS3 officially has it's a killer-app and a million tears are shed by 360 fanboys.
