From Gameswire: "Uncharter 2 is the best game we've played in a long, long time. In terms of drama, excitement and graphical accomplishment, few other games come close.
We've been playing it for most of today, capturing footage as we go, and here are our first eight galleries, taken from the game's first eight chapters.
So, for those of you who've not yet got hold of a copy, here's some shots to further whet your appetites (we may do more, if you want them that is - let us know!):"
Chris, Joseph, and Josh celebrate Active Quest’s 100th episode by discussing their favorite games of all time.
Nevada Dru from Bits & Pieces revisits Uncharted 2: Among Thieves to see if this legendary game has stood the test of time.
Currently playing Drakes Fortune on crushing, next will be to replay Among Thieves, but I'm sure it still holds up today.
Recently re-platinumed 1-3. Uncharted 2 aged better than I even expected. I enjoyed it more now than I did a decade ago. It’s more polished than 1, tighter than 3 and Yemen in 3 was gorgeous. Shambhala out-prettied Ubar though. 60fps w higher res’ made for a damn good rerun.
Question: When you say Uncharted2 aged better than expected, are you talking about the original PS3 game or the remastered collection on PS4. I ask because I think that a remastered version of the game would look and play better than the original.
I doubt that the original ran at 60 frames, how many years old is the remastered collection anyway.
I need to replay the original trilogy along with the collection, not a fan of the collection trophy of beating levels in a set time and don't think the originals required that for platinum.

It’s true that the remasters have upped the resolution and given it 60fps, but the base game is the same. The art design and base textures/physics/ animations are the same yet still look contemporary. More-so than UC1 which isn’t as tight, or UC3 in some cases which I found a bit clunky in close quarters.
UC2 level design was a great evolution in bringing the verticality from the jungle into rural/urban settings while maintaining smooth animation transitions. Drake still moves better than the ginger in Star Wars Jedi. Outdoor areas are better lit.
UC2 also has more action and better pacing imo, which helps when replaying a game 10 years later. Kept me engaged.
You don’t need to time trial for platinum. They stuck the speedrun trophies in a seperate extended dlc category so have no fear.
I thought the originals were good, but not great. I understand that puts me in the minority here. That said, Uncharted 4 was freaking fantastic.
Yeah I understand the hate for 4 prior to playing it I was firmly against it and felt like 3 wrapped things up already but now after playing it I think it was the best in the franchise.
Now I look back at two and I feel like I'm playing an on the rails shooter everything is so tightly scripted including the infamous train scene you simply can't make a mistake
I think Uncharted 2 is a lot like AC2. Both games took the idea and basically improved it in every single way.
Uc2, AC2,Halo2, Soul calibur 2, Killzone 2, Infamous 2 , Dishonored 2 and a few more. The only negative thing I have against uc2, and imo it annoyed me,are the blue apes, uncharted 1 handled the super natural far better.
Cultured Vultures: What's your favourite moment from the Uncharted franchise? Here are 15 that got our blood pumping.
The entire final chapter of The Lost Legacy is the best setpiece in the series and it wasn't even mentioned.
I don't get IT I've seen my cousin playing Uncharted 2 and i can't see what the big fuss is about. Graphically only some parts in the game look amazing and the rest of the time looks normal nothing special when you progress through the game. That is the big THING i HATE about Sony games they get hyped so much for no reason and it astounds me that this game because of the hype will get GOTY. Its a sad day to be a gamer if Uncharted 2 gets GOTY when their are well deserving games that should take home GOTY.
There very first word is a spelling mistake XD
Come on, seriously? Uncharted 2 is amazing. The experience of playing it is second to none. No other game comes close to its story telling, voice acting, set-pieces or graphical ability.
I haven't got into a story-lead game to this degree since Final Fantasy VII.
With so many games getting hyped up and then turning out to be quite flat and samey (Halo 3 ODST), it's great to finally see a game live up to the hype.
Well, I wouldn't say 'mistake' per se, I'm sure they know how to spell the word. I'd say it's more of an unfortunate typo. Possibly a result of blindness caused by spending the day capturing over 400 screenshots! :o
Going to be getting this with that 250GB PS3 slim package to be released on Monday, for now though, 400 shots will have to do...
