This game is amazing. Single player is perfect, graphics are top notch. Can't wait to try online when I finish this up.

I'm really impressed with the game but I loved the first one so that's really no surprise.

There is sheer quality at work here. The story is straight out of a Hollywood summer blockbuster but the acting, dialogue, and set pieces are, dare I say it, much better. This is a top notch experience that really does blur the lines between movies and gaming.

It's fantastic stuff and jaw dropping at times.

I got snowed in yesterday (my bus didn't come so I worked from home). I managed to play a few hours ... very happy with the game thus far. It's funny, you don't do anything terribly unique (at least where I'm at), but the story and acting is so top notch that you just want to get to the next cut scene.

Picked up a copy at SuperStore today for $35. I'm really looking forward to playing this, the first one was great.

Got it for Christmas. About 96% done now and its amazing. The train level though was a very weird hybrid between frustration and the time of my life.


Edit: Wow, what a ride.

Dobbles get on it! It's like Indiana Jones if Indiana Jones weren't totally desecrated by crystal skulls and Shia Lebouf.

I picked uncharted 2 up when it first came out back a few months and just now FINALLY got to sit down and play it on christmas day/boxing day and goobilty gop it's easily the game of the year and should be contender for game of the decade.

Well I don't think its 26 but a few of the mobs have body armor. So if they take a few shots it is more realistic than a fat Mexican in a red wife beater.

I was obviously exaggerating but in all honesty I can remember pumping about 7-9 bullets in 1 guy to kill him, and I had to do that with the whole horde of guys, and it completely turned me off the game.

I have been hearing good things about this game, and if they changed that then I think I'll have to pick it up.

One thing that I did notice was different besides the armor was the fact that if I got a headshot, it worked. I remember having to take two or three headshots before.

No, if you hit a guy in the armour it can take 3-4, but a head shot takes just 1. No, the hordes are not endless.

Its funny when I told Russic that I finally got Uncharted 2 he said he was jealous I got to go through it again. Now I'm jealous of my roommate as he gets to do the same.

Loved Uncharted 2....multiplayer is pretty substantial too.

Voice acting is superb; gotta love that commercial where the guy's girlfriend thinks she's watching a movie with the guy.

finally played this tonight and really enjoyed it. the cut scenes were cool and it was fairly intuitive to get going. last time i played a shooter on console was goldeneye so it will take a while to get used to not having a mouse and keyboard!

Chuck is mainly a pc gamer also so I sent him this link http://www.splitfish.com

I played a bit with the ps2 and xbox version a long time ago and it worked so I assume the ps3 version is fine too.

Edit: actually I'm not sure how well it works for a 3rd person shooter, it's getting mixed reviews for use in uncharted
