    I love Uncharted 2, it was my first PS3 game and I'm playing Uncharted on PS4 as well. for being a 2009 game, I think the game still looks very good. and the story is just nice. If anyone hasn't played Uncharted 2 yet, make sure you get it, you're missing out.

    Sry for bad English :)

    The high point of the series and a truly epic adventure. Great set pieces, a little dated in parts maybe but this is the one to play.

    What can I say this is basically Indiana jones the video game. A genuinely great linear adventure game. The characters are unique, and the voice actors do a phenomenal job. Gameplay is simple and fun. Also, the ending was the best in the series with a great final boss fight. All of this combines to make the best Uncharted game in my opinion.

    A run and gun, cover base shooter with a pathetic story and ending and over the top cinematic cutscenes. Any one who praise this game needs a serious life check. Average game + average franchise! 5/10, good riddance.

    This game still manages to stay in my mind,even years after it was published. I played it as a kid and then i replayed it as a teen and I am still deeply in love with the uncharted series. A must-play for everyone who still has the chance of playing it. 10/10

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Uncharted 2 Replay Review 100% completed Introduction - 100/100 Amazing introduction and after you finish the game and replay it , it makes so much sense , Nathan is shot and in a falling train trying to survive and it shows a flashback of Chloe and Flynn and the outcomes of betrayal . and Nathan said “what could possibly go wrong” and it shows the consequences of trusting them.

    Gameplay - 85/100 Amazing and noticeable improvements from the previous game , the u.i is changed up a little bit and fits the theme, the graphics are amazing for its time to , the climbing is way better and much improved than the previous , the climbing is much better and satisfying , the physics are much better , when you kill a enemy they don’t fall up like they did in uncharted 1 , and the fist fighting is much better with new combos and satisfying combat , and new fighting animations , and the new guns and variety and the new way of throwing grenades is so much better than the previous games , the crosshair for most of the weapons changing is a good detail that helps players improve throughout the game, the stealth has also improved, the train boss fight is horribly designed playing on crushed mode. Graphics - 92/100 Amazing for its time and still holds up today , the Color grading for every environment is a smart and satisfying thing to see , and the maps have a lot of detail and amazing to look at from far Pacing - 96/100 one of the best pacing i seen in a game , very intense and the cutscenes feel the feelings of the player. not rushed, paces out perfectly and not boring either Maps - 93/100 So much detail and feeling put into the maps , for example the urban warfare level , the houses had so much feeling to it and looked realistic , and it was amazing for combat , it was a lot of variety.

    Characters - 93/100 , the villain lazaravic is ruthless and intimidating , and the new side characters that changed uncharted , Chloe , and Flynn , amazing dynamics and seeing Flynn’s jealousy and betrayal is one of the best things i seen in a side character , made me hate him a bit, he was a good villain to Ending - 94/100 a lot of intensity and build up and it paced out perfectly , didn’t feel rushed, amazing boss fight and good story telling , and the final cutscene between Elena and Nathan was impactful and amazing , not a typical happy ending , walked away with nothing but was still happy with Elena. Final Score - 9.6/10    … Expand

    Overall the game is enjoyable fun action with puzzles until you get to a boss... These bosses are horendously hard to figure out. For example the first boss. If you shoot into him it will do nothing, throw a granade it would do nothing, so you are forced to walk in cycles hoping he doesnt catch you, throw a granade and then punch him. The second boss is the same thing. And for somebody whoOverall the game is enjoyable fun action with puzzles until you get to a boss... These bosses are horendously hard to figure out.

    Love this game. It has amazing graphics, soundtrack, story, characters, and gameplay. There's also plenty of medals you can get for achieving certain things which can keep you coming back for more. This really was Naughty Dog's magnum opus until The Last of Us came out.

    It's a pretty cool movie game, you feels like you are in a Indiana Jones' movie. But that's it, you gonna have a lot of fun sometimes, the chopers parts are REALLY COOL, but you are goin to watch more than play, in each 10 minutes there is a cutscene, you can clock that if you want.

    A great game all round. Everything from the implied sex to the jaw dropping train sequence, this is the game that started it all for cinematic storytelling in games. If you only ever play a handful of Sony games in your life, this has to be one of them. Essential.

    The gameplay of the game was really great, you can't really describe how fun and enjoyable this game is, especially Borneo, where the beauty of the gameplay reaches its peak. Personally, I am more interested in the gameplay of the last of us, but this game also has a really beautiful gameplay.

    The story of the game was also really enjoyable, mostly because of the feel of the game, Nathan has a really interesting character in the beginning, he secretly has a relationship with Chloe and has sex with her while Chloe has a boyfriend, and In one of the museums in Istanbul, he kills his guards to steal one of the statues there... At the beginning, Nathan has all the characteristics of a bad boy, and Nathan's character in this game is really great, the story of the game is really pleasant, this adventure is for Finding Shambhala is really beautiful.


    I can really say that Naughty Dog is a true god in the world of video games and has never made a game less than a masterpiece.    … Expand

    Spread across twenty-six chapters is a story as playful and worthwhile as the gameplay.

    Graphically stunning, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is, first of all, an interactive adventure, one that feels like a movie and even has a storyline of a movie. Most gameplay situations have been tailored in order to stun the player with originality and identification, and the end result is absolutely amazing.

    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.
