By being great!
Seriously, those criticism, while partially true, are only nit picking about some aspects of the game, overall it's a great package and still much better than the vast majority of simply good FPS titles out there!
The first time I played the plane sequence, of the boat yard my jaw was stuck on the floor, I also loved the slower paced "forced walking" sections, like the desert, and the young Drake chapter... it's really hard for me to pick between 2 and 3... or even 4...
The only thing I find deplorable is the lack of reponse when you shoot on some enemies, it's not very satisfying, but hey, I never noticed it until one of those strange Uncharted 3 thread poped up.... just sayin' we don't need your negativity.
Uncharted 1 on the other hand has never been good, I recall not liking it back when it was first released, and still not liking it in the Uncharted collection box (however I finished it this time around).
