Uncharted 2: Pure awesome.
Since this is more a tech blog than a game blog, I’m not going to go really in-depth about the game. If you want loads of in-depth and galleries, check out joystiq, a great blog dedicated to gaming.
What I will say, is that this game is insanely good. I’d even go so far as to say it was better than the first, something rarely achieved by a sequel, especially a sequel to something so awesome as Uncharted.
The game overall is actually fairly short. I managed to complete the game in around 6-7 hours gameplay. Though it has a great replay factor, and I barely found any of the 100 hidden treasures. :(
The scenery in-game really makes up for the short gameplay, there really are some breathtaking visuals.
I think the thing that makes Uncharted 2 so good is the fact that it’s much more real than other games. Characters tend to react how you’d expect them to react to demon sasquatches coming charging at them, as opposed to running in, guns blazing.
And yes, Nate even seems to find the time to draw a picture of them and explain that they’re scarier than Sully’s moustache and a slippery naked guy in his notebook.
