I'm with d21lewis, Drakes a great character.

Best game i played this gen.

its very good...

im glad they choose the approach of a seperate coop enviroment for the sequel because there would have been no way to make the game solo and coop compatible using the same levels

Wait how will Co-op work in Uncharted 2?

Similar to Resistance 2 I believe - seperate levels/missions you play cooperatively.  There is no play through of main story with another player so far as I can tell.

Apparently ND hired additional staff to ensure enough bandwidth to deliver at least as good an SP as last time plus the MP/Coop in addition.

Sounds good to me.  I know split screen coop if fun but it doesn't fit every game and I don't like it when developers shove something in because it seems popular.  I think this approach works best for Uncharted.

The split screen co-op is fine for uncharted. He has a female buddy right? She may not always be there. But when they split up, why cant they make he defend herself from baddies while he goes and does his thing. Show you what she does while she is there.

Nothing says you HAVE to stay together the entire time.

This is one of those games that not a lot of people consider their favourite, but the large majority of people really like. You'd be hard pressed to find as many people on VGC who dislike Uncharted as MGS4, LBP, etc.

Personally, it's my third favourite PS3 game, second favourite PS3 exclusive, and favourite first party PS3 game. Blows away everything in its genre (which admittedly is pretty empty)

I'm on my third playthrough, on Crushing, and it's HARD! I just need to finish this, then play through once more on easy to get all of the treasures and the remaining few trophies, and I'll have my first platinum!

It's not really fair to expect every game to be as well designed as Shadow of the Colossus. The emphasis was, of course, put on making each boss fight individual, and different. And I loved SoTC for that, and that is why it remains one of my favourite games of all time.

In a game which is split up into different sections with minor enemies, you can't have something as in-depth and complex as a one hour colossus fight. Santa Monica does a pretty good job with making the bosses different though, much more so than certain other hack and slash developers *cough teamninja cough*. I particularly like how you have to mash circle to plunge the blades down into the minotaur's throat. It's a good feeling

Uncharted didn't have very many, and you can't even call them QTEs. They were one-button reactions.

A few things I think they could have improved on, however:

-No online (fixed)

-Not enough stealth options (fixed, it appears)

-Not very much Sixaxis implementation. It was nice on those two logs at the beginning of the game, then they just said "screw it" and left it out completely. I feel the only game to consistently use the Sixaxis well was Tools of Destruction.

-All of the enemies looked the same. It was freaky.

-Why are all of these people from all over the world united in their quest to kill some poor American explorer? They don't even want the treasure, or they'd be off getting it, not chasing after some random guy!

-Not enough melee options

All minor complaints: all in all, an awesome game!
