Is that Uncharted 2 review for real? Or is that just his style of comedy?

If it's real, than consider me shocked! So much hatred with so little reasoning behind it... kinda weird... Especially from a game that has such great production values and such a great story. And one the last part where he says it steals from other games... WTF is that? Uncharted 2 doesn't 'steal' from anything. Actually, it does alot of things that appear only in Uncharted 1. This includes story progression, camera angles and more notably, the gameplay.

I mean, does Uncharted gameplay appear anywhere other than Uncharted? If so, I'd love to play another shooter-platformer of that style!!!

I wouldn't say that Uncharted "steals" from other games. But it does borrow quite a bit from other titles. For example the game owes a lot to Tomb Raider and Gears Of War. The Matchmaking in multiplayer is very much like Halo( not surprising its said that Bungie had some imput in that and Naughty Dog actually thanks Bungie in the end credits.) Even the FAL kind of reminds me of Uncharted's own BR from Halo.( or at least they seem very similar to me, anyway) But games borrow elements from other games all the time, but few games make them come together as well as Uncharted 2 does.
