Because both hands are required for most video games, it's nearly impossible to eat popcorn while playing.
That causes a problem while experiencing the best game of the year (so far). You see, the movie-style action, white-knuckle excitement and robust visuals in Uncharted 2 Among Thieves would fit better on a big screen in some multiplex than on a TV at home.
Uncharted 2 is ridiculously immersive, so much so that you forget you are controlling the actions of treasure hunter Nathan Drake. From the seamless way the cutscreens hide the loading screens, to the ease of controls, to the story, everything is done right.

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.
May not, It's the game of the year
its my game of the decade
It IS this year's best game.
Sorry bots its the truth.
I just bought it yesterday and have to say that it is just simply amazing. PS3 now has it's Gears (but better) and its Halo (Killzone 2)I sure am glad I went with a PS3 over the 360 two years ago. The decision is finally paying off ten-fold.
It used to be a great time to have a xbox360 with gears and halo but then microsoft got too comfortable.
the ps3 now has its uncharted and its killzone but there is just so much more to choose from. Everybody has that 1 favorite game type they love and they have a better chance of finding it on ps3 where the games are made properly and have a sony stamp of approval.
why wouldnt he compare those games?
For some strange reason in every review of a ps3 game the reviewers all mentioned gears or halo and sometimes both. they really wanted to force the opinion that gears and halo are the top tier of videogames and that somehow a ps3 game will never measure up.
now we all know thats just idiots journalism but guess what? theres alot of idiots out there.
even if uncharted came out first. wait did uncharted come out first?
