    "Uncharted 2: Among Thieves" is an awesome experience. It takes the original game and improves on it in everyway creating a dynamic cinematic experience. In keeping with its storytelling routes it is incredibly linear but the connection the characters display with each other, and created in me as a player, ensured that my goals were the same as theirs and I was elated to follow the game’s fast paced lead down the roller coaster tracks.

    • Beautiful, cinematic experience, The train level, Fantastic voice work, Amazing attention to detail in the environment
    • Predictable action, Fights with ‘bosses’ could have been left out completely

    Uncharted 2: Among Thieves offers the thrills, the gun fights, the witty dialog, the climbing, the surprises and the plot that you would expect from an '80s archeology-oriented movie. The difference is that you get to play the main hero and directly enjoy, if not shape, the experience. Read more

    • Great action;, Superb graphics;, Entertaining plot;, Engaging multiplayer.
    • Somewhat short;, A bit repetitive.

    This is a perfect example of an excellent game with a few nagging faults. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is incredible, perhaps the best cinematic experience we’ve seen. It’s a must have for all PS3 owners, even if it's just for the single player. Multiplayer is even more fantastic, producing incredibly entertaining online battles, with and against friends. If it were not for those few rough edges, Uncharted 2 would be the perfect game. Read more

    With a bit more polish, especially in the audio department, Cricket Revolution could be the cricket game of choice. As it stands now, it is just a rung below the big boys of EA Cricket and Codemasters cricket series ( Ashes 2009 being the most recent). The difficulty level could also be a turn off to new players, but after some practice, the game become much easier and is in fact quite intuitive. But the gameplay itself makes the game enjoyable.

    • Huge range of batting shots, combined with relatively intuitive controls make batting realistic.
    • The bowling marker makes it difficult to bowl exactly where you’d like. No commentary. Batting placement doesn’t seem to work as intended.

    As the immaculately groomed Nathan Drake makes his stupefying escape from the remains of a train car dangling over the ledge of some indistinguishable Tibetan chasm, it becomes smack-you-in-the-face obvious that Naughty Dog, the developers of Uncharted 2: Among Thieves , sought to create this holiday's biggest blockbuster movie. That Uncharted 2 is a video game, I can only assume, was a small handicap. Read more

    As i stated in my Uncharted 1 review, i cant believe that i didnt find out about the glory of this game until late 2011. It is one of the best games ever made. It just took a hold of me and never let me go. it's very intriguing and fun to play. Even my mom, when accidentally caught a glimpse of the beginning of the game, she couldnt take her eyes off of it and asked me to show her, what happened next, so thyis was the first game she ever beat :D.

    • Mostly everything
    • Some things that i might've thought"they could've made this better" but nothing memorable or bad. just "could've made it

    • Visually stunning, action packed, great story and very very playable.
    • Maybe sometimes a little awkward, but nothing much.

    I'm way late giving a review for this game, but it's a masterpiece. I'll give you my 4 other favorite games of all time: NHL 94 on the Genesis, Mario Kart on the N64, C&C Red Alert 2 on PC and Tecmo Super bowl on the NES. This game beats them all. I played the multi-player deathmatch part of this game at least 3 nights a week for a year straight. If you have a PS3 and don't own this game, you're not doing your system justice. Read more

    • Graphics Amazing playability Multiplayer is an absolute riot Very creative story and dialogue, and it's long compared to most single-player campaigns
    • I guess the only thing I can think of would be that Naughty Dog was a little slow patching the multi-player to keep cheaters honest.

    for Fat PS3 owner make sure the PS3 has plenty of ventilation when playing this Game. If you experience freezing your PS3 could be over heating. if it does turn off don't restart it, let it cool down. Read more

    • Graphics
    • I don't like flashback stories, and I don't like that they make you do the train scene twice. It was pointless doing it twice!
