Right, I 'm at the bit where I RECOVERED my map from the plane that was shot from the sky.......rofl the map was just lying there on the control bit of the plane, how fake!

Impressions so far:

Graphics -- AMAZING, in the bit above the WW2 sub, on the waterfall, I just turned the camera & looked at the horizon.....it looked so amazing! Called my mum n showed it to her too......she thought it was a movie!

Uncharted 2 looks better. MUCH better.

Technical -- hmm....definite framerate drops, already got a glitch (fell into the "mountain")

No framerate drops in the sequel, a few misplaced jump animations, and I once fell through the earth. It also crashed once, near the end of the game.

Controls -- Ok....after playing the Uncharted 2 beta, the controls seem inferior....my god Naughty Dog have improved on them. The grenade controls are a pain, so much better in the Uncharted 2 Beta!

Agreed

Gameplay -- AMAZING......shooting stuff to make pillars fall, puzzles a dog can solve, jumping, running!

Way fewer puzzles in Uncharted 2, but that's good. The puzzles that are there are much simpler.

Ofcourse the bit that impressed me a lot was where the camera comes to the front & you need to run while these wooden platforms fall (thats in the first temple you go to).....AMAZING....reminded me of Crash Bandicoot 3 Warped & the bits where he had to run away from the falling boulder!

Good times

Story -- This is where it really shines. The characters are so real.....DRake is the height of cool, Sully is good (I doubt he's dead) & Elena is very funny

Better in the sequel

For example.....the scene where they ditch her was very well done. You got to see Drake & SUlly talking then the bit where elena's speaking to her producer while sully n drake wave at her & then when she says "no I don't trust them either"....HILARIOUS!

Nothing compared to Uncharted 2's final cutscene- hysterical.

The music is very nice

Oh please, there's one song and a few 10 second clips. Uncharted 2 is much better in this regard.

Gave me the feeling of an "adventure" like no game other than the PS1 tomb raiders gave me.

Remember when Tomb Raider was good?

Basically I felt it was a mistake to not buy it 2 years ago at full price UNTIL I saw that I had already finished 29% of the game.

Damn straight

Will continue it tomorrow!

So far 8.9/10!

Not even a 9? Sony hater!

 

So to summarise, the sequel is better in every way.
