1. GoGame Review #4- Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
   

   Player Chronicle -- Posted on Nov 13 2009

   I thought I'd review this while my CoD MW2 update finishes. I'd like to start off by saying I'm sorry this took so long to get up. I've been really busy with school and basketball lately that I really haven't had much time. Also, usually I'm going to try to beat a game before I review it, that just wasn't happening with this game.
   
   Uncharted 2 is the sequel to the hit game Uncharted: Drakes Fortune. This game is amazing. I've been lucky to be able to review a lot of fun games in my three reviews and this adds a forth game.
   
   Obviously this game is a Shooter but when your not killing people this game would definitely go into the Strategy column of games. There is a lot of puzzle type things in the game that really make you think, even with the hits it can be confusing. I'm personally stuck right now and have been a few times. Most of the sections that I've been stuck on have been strategy sections, not shooter sections, showing that this game has a very diverse game play.
   
   The game has a really cool story line to it. You are playing as Drake and are attempting to find Marco Polo's lost treasure. The first level of the game however is just terrible. If you do pick this game up do not think you waisted your money during that first level, it feels like it was a waist but trust me, the action picks up big time. The story line is also filled with be trail. You'll figure this out quickly and trust me, it will be the most shocking thing that happens in the first half of the game. I can easily see why this game has 20 odd perfect ratings in game magazines and websites.
   
   One thing however that is horrible about this game is the camera views. There fine sometimes but there is times when you are at a terrible view. Besides that the game looks incredible. The graphics and sound affects are pretty amazing. The sound is so realistic you can here the smallest drop of water to a simple foot step. I know you can hear a lot of that in other games but this game goes above and beyond I feel with the sound effects.
   
   The game play is very smooth. It reminds me a lot of one of my favorite games when I was younger, Sly Cooper, made by the same company as Infamous for a more modern day reference. Drake does a lot of parkour type things in the game. He climbs walls, polls, buildings, and pretty much anything that he can get a grip on.
   
   Overall this game is pretty great and I have loved playing it. It was a good investment I feel to add to my game collection and has actually made me consider buying the first game in the series.
   
   Buy/Sell: Buy
   Next Review: nothing really set, the next few will be SAW 6, LEGO Rock Band, Modern Warfare 2, and Band Hero
