Too many reviews to put up, but it is the highest rated game of 2009.

Here's Adam Sessler's relook at the game(not the review). He explains why he said it was one of the best Single Player games he has played and other things. He jokes that the game is rated good because, "It's not because of Microsoft's check bouncing" which someone suggested in the comments of the review. :| Uncharted 2 is a game changer and can be put up with the great classics of the past.

I would think the gamesradar review to be the most reliable. considering the first and last probably are biased, and
I haven't even heard of French Gamerzine Gameblog, or whatever it is.

Nah they generally are harder on PS games for some reason. My guess is just so people won't think they are biased, I hate it when places purposely do things just to try and avoid looking biased.

The Game's Radar one is the best though as it's readable. ;)

I wouldn't trade everything for a PS3... That would make you regret your decision most likely, unless you just never play it. Uncharted 2 is awesome though and people have been raving about the online demo. I read an article that said even Naughty Dog was surprised the multiplayer in U2 was so good. I personally much preferred the Co-Op though.

Ah and some great new scenes pop up! No spoilers. Personally I think the stealth looks awesome. It adds a kind of MGS feel to it, if you choose to play that way.








Wow! This is the first time I've heard a developer tell the public to buy ANOTHER game that isn't their creation.

Infinity Ward on Uncharted 2: You MUST buy this game
 
Earlier this week, a couple of Bungie employees were spotted enjoying some Uncharted 2. Now, it seems Infinity Ward has also fallen for Naughty Dog's beautiful upcoming Sony exclusive. Writing from the official Infinity Ward twitter account, community manager Robert Bowling tweeted "Oh man, @arne360 let me get some time on #UNCHARTED2 singleplayer. Unbelievable! Controls are so smooth. Seriously, you MUST buy this game!"

Early reviews from critics have been praising the game, and it seems even fellow game developers are loving the game too. From our hands on with the game so far, we're prone to agree with them! Infinity Ward, just make sure you're excessive playtime with Uncharted 2 doesn't result in the delay of Modern Warfare 2 :P

Uncharted 2: Among Theives is due for October 13, 2009

Well the multiplayer demo is open to all today! Anyone downloading it now as we speak? Have to ask early or else no one will respond because they're playing the game. :D Anyone download it yet?

Great. Yet another game to add to my already-difficult-to-decide-between list. XD But I'm SO getting this. I should probably get Uncharted 1 at the same time to get the whole story. Hooray for 165 dollars on the 18th. :D

Remember what the box art to Uncharted 2: Among Thieves looks like? That ain't all for show, folks. You'll play that in-game. You see Drake grasping for his life on the end of a train falling off an arctic cliff? You'll be the one to save him.

If anyone's interested this is the first 10 minutes of Uncharted 2. If you do not mind spoilers, have at! (This is higher quality and longer than the previous vid I had posted)

Uncharted 1 is now a Greatest Hit, so it's cheap. Although you do not need to play the first to understand the story, the story in the second is completely new and not tied into the first at all(aside from returning characters). The first was about discovering the secrets of Sir Francis Drake and this one is about the secrets of Marko Polo.

As it stands Uncharted 2 is also the highest rated exclusive this gen on metacritic and Adam Sessler of G4TV has said it was the best single player action game he has ever played. He even said that Raiders of the Lost Ark was the perfect movie in that genre and stated Uncharted 2 was the perfect game counterpart in the genre. I usually don't like to hype things up too much, but I believe it!

Downloaded the multiplayer demo yesterday. It's really awesome and fun. It's the same thing as the beta that came with inFamous but with more maps and a new game mode: Arena (horde rip-off). Uncharted 2 is exactly deserving of a 21/20 but it's damn near close. Really wish I could get it at launch but I'm getting Borderlands instead.

The co-op is my favorite part of the online portion in Uncharted 2. The online is great, but I think most of these reviews are solely reviewing the single player. Some aren't, but some specifically review the single player and have the multiplayer as a separate review.

From what I've seen the single player is going to be awesome!!
I know I've posted tons of reviews, but I felt this one really captures it very well.

Actually, yeah. :D You can download and play the online beta while you wait. Gimme a holler, I'm pretty good. ;)

I tried to stick to co-op, but when I went to Deathmatch, I DESTROYED. 3 deaths, 18 kills. Sniper Rifle is awesome.

Continuing the line of funny PS3 Slim ads, here's one that focuses solely on Uncharted 2. :)

Hmph. My friend talks non-stop about that game. He played the demo, said it was awesome. He also said he was the only one on his team not to play as the black guy. >_>
