Made it to chapter 7 taking a break for now. So far literally everything feels an improvement on the first game.
The biggest improvements are the stealth and hand to hand I killed 3 guys consecutively hand to hand and pulling a guy off a ledge down to his death is always fun.
Very minor spoilers (not story just locations):
The story seems more interesting too and already been a few places around the world unlike the first one which was mostly either jungle or underground. Also the city in this one feels like a real city it's gigantic.
When I got to the pool at the top of the hotel I literally spent 10 minutes looking around at the city and walking and swimming in the water cause it looked so good.
The museum chapter was amazing, I heard some reviewers complain about it but I thought it was really fun. So you died a few times does that make the game less entertaining? Makes it more fun to me anyway. It was something straight out of Metal Gear Solid even the tranquilizer gun.
That Gamefaqs review is hillarious. He mentions in the opening that it is an action adventure game then complains there is paltforming and says the action is too over the top. What action game isn't over the top? and the ones that aren't are usually forgettable.
Also if he thinks the platforming in Uncharted is hard then he must have been born pretty recently missing out on the platforming games of the 8 and 16 bit eras. He probably thinks Call of Duty isn't over the top even though enemies respawn infinitely if you don't cross an imaginary line or how Gears isn't over the top when you grab an enemy and use him as meat shield against other enemies. Every good 1st or 3rd person or action game I can think of is over the top.
It's interesting that he mentions constantly about how unbearable the game is yet apparently he played through all 26 chapters of this unberable torture. Also the costant reference to an hour and half worth of cutscenes sounds a lot like the complaints 360 fanboys used on MGS4 too. Also apparently he hasn't heard of the multiplayer and co-op as he mentions there is no replay value I would say that's infiinite replay there. Of course if you haven't played the game at all and are just going by trailers you can come up with his whole review beginning to end.
Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!
