    It is a good game, but just felt a little to linear and repetitiv to me, go there kill them, when you are done go over there and kill them, no open world, no desire to play through again and I hate games that takes control over your actions and this game does that alot. With that said great story, characters etc.. so an 8 for me, but defintly a must play for PS3.

    I didn't enjoy it as much as the first, mainly due to a couple levels that I disliked. Other than that, a great game with good challenges and actual worthwhile story and cut scenes.

    Otra obra maestra de Naughty Dog. Muy buena historia, excelentes personajes, gran jugabilidad y Nathan Drake, que él solo ya hace de este un juego buenísimo.

    La nueva entrega de la saga Uncharted tardó 4 años en salir a la luz, y el tiempo invertido se ve reflejado en el resultado final de esta obra.

    Normalmente intento no caer en el clásico compara el juego con el anterior de la saga y los típicos etc que son tan comunes hoy en día de ver por Internet. Solo cumpliré con decir que el segundo título de la franquicia supera en todos los aspectos al primer juego.

    El que haya jugado Uncharted 2 recordará haber experimentado uno de los comienzos más épicos de un vídeo juego, la escalada por un tren que se precipita hacia el fondo de un precipicio y está en nosotros escalar verticalmente cada uno de los vagones antes de que el tren caiga al vacío.

    Nuevamente controlamos a nuestro protagonista Nathan Drake acompañado del infaltante Sully. Además en esta ocasión la chica de turno es Chloe Frazer la cual es una cazadora de tesoros igual que Drake. Ahora la historia se centrará en seguir la pista a los pasos del reconocido Marco Polo por lo que la aventura se desarrollará en diversos puntos del planeta.

    También se incluyó un apartado de multi jugador online y local, si bien este componente no es la razón de hacerse con esta obra, es sin duda un añadido llamativo que no resta a la experiencia de juego. Una vez más los apartados técnicos del juego son más que destacables y su sistema de juego ha mejorado mucho pero se siente que aun no esta al nivel de otros juegos del mismo genero.

    Finalmente este es la obra que eleva a la franquicia a lo que ahora es y si tienes la ocasión SI O SI DEBES jugarlo, es probablemente uno de los títulos más importantes de la pasada generación y no lo puedes pasar por alto.    … Expand

    Sin duda el mejor de la saga. Del 1 al 4 este es otro nivel. La historia es mejor que todas, las localizaciones con perdon del 4 es la mejor. Mucha accion y con uno de los comienzos de juego más espectaculares de la historia. Un juego que ha de ser jugado. Y mejora el tema de tiroteos/hordas mucho mejor que en el 1.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First things first, Uncharted 2 is a vast improvement over the first installment but it is not without it's flaws. With a stronger story and some better characters this time around it's a wonder why anyone would ever play the first game again. It still has a supernatural twist although this time it wasn't as weird but still goofy and still takes from the realism.

    Things I liked:

    - Fixed a lot of bugs from the first game
    - Better gameplay mechanics
    - No more jet ski levels
    - Drake and Sullivan are still awesome
    - Chloe, Harry and Lazarevic are awesome and were great throughout the story
    - Lazarevic was more involved than the bad guy from the first game
    - Great graphics
    - Solid gunplay
    - Better climbing and jumping

    Things I didn't like:

    - Still only two weapon slots, making for less variety in gunfights
    - Very few different types of bad guys
    - Elena still sucks and is probably the most boring character in a video game ever
    - Respawns in some areas are terrible
    - Final boss fight is way too easy
    - Some shooting areas had poor design
    - The story is only 6-8 hours long with little to no replayability

    Overall it's a very solid game and way more fun than the first one. If you're wondering what the monster in this game is, it's not golem, it's avatar instead. If you have a little extra cash and want something to play, go pick it up, it's pretty cheap and has a fun story with the same old Tomb Raider gameplay fun.    … Expand

    I don't have too much to say about this game. I'm sure it was stunning at the time, but playing it 7 years after its release, it feels very OK. I played it mostly in preparation for Uncharted 4.

Uncharted 2 has much better visuals, has a great opening and the train sequence is very outstanding. The biggest criticisms I had for the first game have been largely fixed in the sequel. Notice that I say largely, because there are still issues present, enough I'd wager doesn't make it the 10/10 game critics and fans of the series would like to give it.

    Visual-wise it is very impressive and dwarfs the original like it was a tech demo. The snowy Tibetan mountains, the foliage, the war-zone cities and rain effects are quite good. Despite it still at 30fps it was very smooth on not dipping too much at points.

    Voicework is far improved, and I really love Nathan and Elena's dialogue together. Of course all across the board every one puts on a show with voicework and really can feel like a film and game rolled into one. Whether that's a good or bad thing is subjective, but I can see the allure of fans who love this and will have to agree that the delivery is far better than the first.

    Story is still not great. It still has alot of foolish writing and a thin plot because people tend to attribute grand spectacles and voice work as storytelling. That is not true and it's fine. Indiana Jones doesn't have a super well done plot, it was the action and adventure that people loved and Nathan on a moving train shooting down rockets and helicopters is just being a big dumb action movie. There is nothing wrong with that and I like that alot.

    The combat improves very marginally. Stealth is introduced and is very clumsy and up until the last of us and uncharted 4 I never found any of the trilogy that good. In fact I hated it, so it was just better to shoot first and ask questions later. The enemies still can take more damage than I would like, but adding armored units to regular ones and shields do make strategies open up.

    The villains are not as mustache twirling, but they are not as good as say Marlow or Rafe. Lazaravic does have a intimidation factor, but the overuse of Russian bad guys in many shooters just made it hard for me to really get into his goals and mind. The final confrontation with him in the Tree of Life is definitely better than Navarro, but can be a bit awkward to fight considering its shooting the resin near him to damage him in a running and gunning sort of manner.

    The level design is a huge step up from the first and I will say its pretty good. From museums to jungles to trains to icy mountains, it is refreshing to see the sequence of events change, even if you still fight enemies everywhere you go.

    The multiplayer is ok, but I don't really think it needed it (unlike Gears of War that did).

    People often attribute this game as one of the best games ever made or of all time and I disagree strongly with that. Is it good? Yes. Is it great? at times absolutely. But it can have some stupid moments that is all merely putting you on a set piece and not letting your own creativity sing. The cinematic experience is pretty cool don't get me wrong, but having some control of my situation goes a long way. Uncharted 2 is definitely a well-done game overall. I like it and would recommend it, but I would not hail it as a masterpiece.    … Expand

Плюс ко всему в этой части добавили лёгонькую pvp убивалку времени, так что после прохождения сюжета можно позабавиться денёк другой в ней. И если в UDF каждый игровой аспект пытался перетянуть одеяло на себя и когда это чему-то удавалось, игра разваливалась. То тут эти же аспекты, как будто играют в "Камень, ножницы, бумага" и у них всех постоянно выпадает ничья, что в конечном результате позволяет мне поставить игре более высокий бал чем в первый раз    … Expand

Amazing adventures and scenes, but puzzles didn't impressed me and didn't get the idea of them being in the game. The multiplayer is lovely by the way.

    Another case in which the sequel far exceeds its predecessor; the audiovisual improvement is obvious, improvements in the control to improve the gameplay, which is still the same base, a much better worked plot, beautiful scenarios and sequences, action and compate improved as well. Of the trilogy of PS3 no doubt this title is the best, a classic console and generation.

    A perfect sequel to Uncharted 1, Among Thieves manages to do everything bigger and better than it's predecessor. The cast of loveable characters is back and the new introductions serve the story well. The story itself is a bit similar to the original one in concept but takes us to multiple astonishing locations and manages to keep things fresh and fun during it's entire playthrough.

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves on the other hand, has a helicopter shooting at you while you are in a collapsing building, or making your way to the front of a train and crashing it in the Himalaya's. The story is great as well, taking you to many different places and introducing many new characters like Chloe Frazer. Not many negatives here, although I did feel that the monastery sequence dragged because of the game throwing wave after wave of enemies after you. In the end, a good game, just not a perfect one either, though it gets pretty close.… Expand

    So after not liking the action parts in Uncharted 1 they nailed the balance between riddles, action, video sequences and climbing by a lot. Its way more fun to play and has a good story in it with a lot of characters.

    I still dont like the actiongameplay in its core but its way more comfortable (more grenades, more weapons against the spawning enemies). On the Story only the big enemy isnt that interesting and the bossfight is a little bit lame, as in the game before.

    But all in all its way better than Part 1 and a good Action-Adventure.    … Expand

Сейчас бы добавить в игру аборигенов, которые не умирают, после того, как потратишь на них всю обойму огнестрельного оружия, но с 2 выстрелов арбалета они дохнут... В свою очередь они с 3-4 ударов выносят тебя (это я про стандартную сложность).

    Последний босс - тупая беготня с расстрелом, так скажем взрывоопасных объектов, однако минутой ранее антагонист стал бессмертным... Концовка меня разочаровала. Как будто взяли финал первой части, чуточку подправили масштабностью и вот вам конец второй части.

    В остальном же всё на уровне, как это принято у Naughty Dog: умные враги, прописанные персонажи, неплохой сюжет, прекрасная музыка.

    С геймплеем не всё так однозначно. Всё те же проблемы с укрытием, когда игра не понимает, за какой столб или камень ты хочешь спрятаться, из-за чего тебя убивают. Надеюсь, ни только у меня огромная ненависть к веревкам с которых нужно раскачиваться и прыгать. Я конечно понимаю, что нужно было разнообразить игровой процесс, но мне и в первой части проблем с ними хватило, несмотря на то, что таких мест очень мало.

    По поводу озвучки, однозначно оригинал с субтитрами. В 2020 сносно играется, поэтому если у вас завалялся 1 десяток часов и вы играли в первую часть, то милости прошу. А я пошёл проходить 3 часть...    … Expand

    More of an interactive movie than a game, it's fun and visually amazing, but not very challenging. Most of the time you dont even need to think about where to go or what to do, you just walk ahead and the game guides you to the next location. The locations are rich, the story is a lot better than the last game, and it is a great time. I just wish you had more options for the gameplay.

    Among Thieves is all about constant movement. And even movement on top of movement. It grabbed me from the beginning and didn't let go for twelve hours. Once I finished, all I could think about was playing it again. More than a defining game for the PS3, Uncharted 2 is a defining game of this console generation.
