I don’t quite know how to describe how great this game really is…I just sat down for 15 hours straight and couldn’t put the controller down until the end of the credits. This game combines everything and anything you could ever want in a movie, a game or any entertainment experience. Uncharted 2 has incredible characters, wonderful story, some of the best acting I’ve ever seen (Not just the voice acting, but the actual animations of the characters, their facial expressions), everything is done so beautifully I’m absolutely speechless. Among Thieves exceeded the hype in my mind, it immerses you in this incredibly detailed and lush environment, seamlessly bouncing you back and forth from gameplay to breathtaking cinematic wonder, and most often, combines them both at the same time. Just the attention to detail is astounding. I wish I had a better vocabulary so I could give this review justice but you should just see for yourself! You will not regret this purchase one bit, the multiplayer is even fun! If you own a PS3 and don’t have this game, then you should sell your PS3.

I’m sure if you’re reading this you’ve already read countless other reviews praising the game for it’s superb voice acting, mind blowing graphics, wonderful story telling, and it’s riveting gameplay. I’m only writing this to enforce all of these things and hopefully tip you over the fence into buying this game immediately. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves contains almost every element that was in the first and improves upon it. For those of you who haven’t played the first game it is essentially Gears of War meets Tomb Raider + Awesomeness all rolled into one. For those of you who did play Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune you’re all too aware of how short the first game was and I’m pleased to tell you that this game is substantially worth it. Not only does it last about 3-4 hours longer buy it features something to do when you’re done, multiplayer. The multiplayer is essentially what you’d expect from Call of Duty 4 with and a 3rd person twist and several unique modes to shake up the formula. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is like buying a three entree plate from Panda Express. It leaves you completely full and satisfied and although you’d happily enjoy another serving of Orange Chicken you can leave the restaurant knowing you got what you paid for. Buy this game and enjoy it because although it’s built upon the qualities of other games, there’s really nothing out there quite like it.

I promise to make this 100% Spoiler free, but I must say that after experiencing that which is Uncharted 2, this game is pretty solid indeed. If you enjoyed the first Uncharted then this one will be an extremely enjoyable experience. This game lasts more than 2-4 hours longer than the previous one, tops the cake for having some of the best cinematics, graphics, and sound experience offered on the PS3.
One of the features that I was a bit weary about was the multiplayer because I do not really consider myself a multiplayer fan,however, I must say that that which is in Uncharted 2 is enough to last those who just like multiplayer games a long time. There doesnt seem to be anyway to do offline multiplayer however, for an experience online (with up to 3 player co-op), and about 10 people in the deathmatch modes, there is little to crave. It seems that they developed an amazing Single player experience and added a great multiplayer experience.
Ultimately, with a heartpounding action packed story, a landmark presentation value, and exciting multiplayer and single player modes, I can not really find anything to criticize the game for. (well perhaps the most criticism would be the amount of logo’s on the back of the boxart, or even the at times difficulty of AI).
One more thing, the game has trophy support, headset support, (upcoming twitter support), a multiplayer shop system (to buy skins, and boosts), future DLC, and unlockables.
Please add this game to your PS3 library.

This is one of those games that will keep you glued to your TV for hours until you manage to beat it or your bladder explodes, whatever happens first.
Right from the start it will submerge you into its world of friendship, adventure, action, betrayal, mystery, and love. The heroes are so likable that you wish they were real so you could go have a beer with them.
But the story is not the only thing that shines, the graphics are just breath-taking and the controls are very responsive. This time around I enjoyed the stealth sections.
And I’m only talking about the single-player campaign. I was afraid multiplayer would be an after-thought, yet the Dogs managed to create a very solid and entertaining experience, not to mention addictive.
But enough blah blah blah, if you like great games get off your chair right now and go buy it!… You’re welcome

This review is not subsequent to “getting on the bandwagon” with other reviewers…but it wouldn’t hurt.
Instantly, you are immersed into edge-of-the-seat death-defying action! Uncharted 2 catches you off guard on a regular basis, leaving little to no room for letting your guard down.
The graphics are plush with great contrast ratio bringing out each color and making it easier to identify objects.
Gameply acrobatics are unothidox (a good thing) as you hurlde over rooftop beams (don’t slip), leap across large gaps that would lead to your untimely death should you fail the jump and creative interactive gaming sequences (ie. defusing alarm systems).
This game is unlike any other game because it MAKES you utilize your surroundings (also a good thing). Causing you to climb poles, leap across ledges while hanging off them, shimmy, and navigate rooftops & high areas.
The story line is somewhat typical, with the proverbial double-cross, but it adds to the drama and is still great and you won’t regret the purchase if you are into this type of genre.
