Well he gets double crossed by this friend and ends up in prison where he is bailed out by his old friend from the first game Sullie. He apparently joined an old friend and an old lover on a quest to go after a long lost treasure of Marco Polo. The plot has Nathan in a rather bad predicament right off the bat and through flashbacks we see how the hero ended up in this rather bad mess. Basically, I will address my main complaint right off the bat, at times the character of Nathan was kind of jerky in his controls, nothing major, but in certain areas it was noticeable. This one though gets a ten as almost all my complaints from the first game have been erased and the only complaints I have about this one are way to minor to make me lower the score as the plot in this one was simply to excellent to be marred by a few control issues I had at times. And, of course, if you own a PS3, you're going to buy a copy – it goes without saying.I enjoyed the first game, but gave it a score of eight. Uncharted 2 provides the perfect means of reducing any remaining throwbacks who still insist on maintaining that games are mindless to embarrassed speechlessness – if you know any Daily Mail readers, you should make showing it to them your mission. And then there are the epic set-piece missions in which, seemingly, Drake's entire surroundings are blown to shreds yet, somehow, he always scrambles to safety. The result is truly epic, especially when you take into account the incredible graphics and fantastically intricate levels. Die, and there's no pause for loading before you resume at the last checkpoint. The third-person, cover-based shooting engine has been revamped and is now exemplary, a modicum of stealth-action has been added to vary proceedings, the climbing and leaping is unhindered by unhelpful camera-work (unlike Tomb Raider), artificial intelligence is much more convincing, and the virtual acting is the best that has ever seen in a game.ĭecent co-op and competitive multiplayer modes, meanwhile, keep you interested after you've completed the single-player game. Uncharted's gameplay mix of shooting, Lara-style swinging and climbing and epic puzzle-solving is once more to the fore, but pretty much every aspect of the game which could have been improved has been.
Naturally, things don't go as planned, but most of the subsequent action takes place in Borneo, Nepal and the Himalayas. This time around, Nate Drake's darker side is on view, although he still comes across as an inherently decent chap, albeit one with some dodgy mates.Īfter a flashforward in which he has to climb a mountain to safety from a railway carriage hanging over a cliff, he hooks up with Flynn and Chloe (the new love-interest), who break into a thinly disguised Topkapi museum to steal an artefact which leads to Marco Polo's (alleged) discovery of Shambhala, aka Shangri-La. Which is something the games industry has striven to achieve for decades, but hitherto failed to pull off. The original exceeded expectations – dismissed pre-launch as a Tomb Raider clone, it proved to set new standards for action-adventure games.īut Uncharted 2 marries everything its predecessor got right with the technological maturity that comes with being a second-generation PlayStation 3 game.And the result feels, to a greater degree, better than any game that has gone before, like a film in which you play the lead character. Here, then, is the biggest PlayStation 3 exclusive of the year, and it has a big agenda: gunning for Hollywood, no less.
