Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Review
Final thoughts
Uncharted 2 outshines anything else out there, when it’s firing on all cylinders. The graphics, sound, intricate level design, epic set pieces and countless WOW moments, all culminate to form one of the best games this year. Unfortunately, the final act does detract from the overall experience but it’s a minor niggle when compared to the rest of the game. Epic, out of this world set-pieces are an outright assault on your senses; anyone who is not aurally or visually impaired cannot help but just sit back and take it all in. Kudos to Naughty Dog. The wait for Uncharted 3 begins.
What Clicked
- Astounding graphical fidelity
- Wonderful character animation coupled with realistic facial expressions
- Awe-inspiring set-pieces that would find themselves at home in a Michael Bay movie
- Arguably one of the best voice acting performances in a game
What Bombed
- Story loses steam as it reaches the finale
- Enemy A.I. could use an overhaul
- Final act is a never ending shooting gallery filled with bullet sponges
