Uncharted is (currently) the second best PS3 exclusive (sorry, KZ2 will probably make it drop to third), and it has the second best graphics, the best being MGS4. LBP is fourth, R&C is fifth, in case you were wondering. Although I don't own VC, so...
Uncharted had excellent environment design and very good character models, MGS4 had very good environment design and excellent character models. I felt MGS4's graphics were overall just a little bit better.
And yes, I think it has better graphics than Gears 2.
