I would have been satisfied had Uncharted 2 looked similar to Uncharted, which meshed with early reports of U2 prior to all the improvements in lighting and texture details.
As visually impressive as the original was, it was the game play that kept me coming back. The visuals just made it that much easier to draw me into the story and world of Uncharted.
That being said, it is entirely possible for Uncharted 2 to look far more impressive than Uncharted, but still play worse if they make any big changes in the controls or game play for the worse (like Resistance to Resistance 2).
The demo looked strong, but really didn't hold my interest enough to keep me playing it more than a couple times, so visuals aren't everything. But I'm still pretty certain the story mode will win me over once again.
