Uncharted 2: The Thieves

And here also the full review of Uncharted 2 Among Thieves, played for you for PS3 of course!





The Naughty Dog is overcome by a masterpiece announced, after the great success of its predecessor, Drake's Fortune. Discover with us all the details of this new milestone for the world of video games!

Thieves and thief   

In this new installment in the popular series of Naughty Dog, you play as Nathan Drake once again, became famous treasure hunter among the players of the PS3 with the previous chapter, Drake's Fortune.

This time you have to go in search of the lost fleet of ships of Marco Polo, yes, he, the great explorer. You run into dozens of enemies, you will find yourself in front of mystery worthy of Sherlock Holmes and will face a Russian warlord ... Of course the story is much deeper and also hides a few surprises: and I will not reveal more than what I did because the story is just too good to be told here in the review, even in part.

The story is fascinating and will keep you glued to the screen literally for the duration of the adventure, which lasts about 12 hours at average level. These hours glide on smooth smooth: the plot is undoubtedly cinematic.

You will have to deal with many types of enemies, a variety of locations and unusual environments damn detailed: the internal study at Sony, said that for this game have been exploited to 100% of the graphics capabilities and power of the console. This is the best in every aspect.

It will go from the icy mountains of the Himalayas to the lush forests of Borneo ... and I've said it all.

Regarding the number of weapons available, well, you say there is a broad package of weapons to choose from, ranging from the classic RPG rocket launcher pistol 9mm up, via the AK47 and shotgun ... c 'is still a good variety.

The mode of coverage has improved again, and it is flawless and exciting.

You can give the game an imprint Wrackett or stealth, depending on your style of play. The combat system has remained virtually unchanged compared to Drake's Fortune, but it confirms everything that was good (that is all!). You can also defeat enemies with melee, although they seemed a little weakling (with two bullets to the ground when attacked frontally).

Obviously you can climb a lot of walls, with a disarming naturalness, much better than that seen in Assassin's Creed and even better than in the previous chapter.

 
THAT BEAUTIFUL MOUNTAINS!

Capiamoci now: here Graphically it is in front of something magnificent. But really. The best. The environments are detailed as ever was seen, both on console and PC, the particle effects are spectacularly well done, the sound effects are excellent, as the soundtrack.
Really: see snow-capped mountains, Nathan moves by moving the snow piles at every step, dense rain forests, bullets, explosions. Telling it all in words is impossible seriously, why certain things are seen with their own eyes.

Then the characters and animations: the animations are extremely fluid and beautiful, and realistic. When Nathan climbs (as it did in the first episode, but now everything is done better) you will see how amazing the level of character animation. Really beautiful.

As for the details of the models of enemies and allies, and Nathan, it was also here to a stratospheric level: they seem real. The clothes get wet when you go in a pool of water, when you dive into the snowy white peaks of the Himalayan snow ... really, seeing is believing.

As I said, even the sound is really great segment: the sounds of guns and explosions are made with great care and are very realistic, the characters often talk about buying a great charisma, not seen for years in a video game soundtrack is sumptuous.

TREASURE HUNTING WITH FRIENDS       

If all this we add a frenetic multiplayer segment, funny (which is what counts) and well structured, you will understand what we talk about the game.

The game modes are Deathmatch Classic (all against all), co-op (or 3 players must complete missions in maps taken from the single player mode, or 3 players against waves of enemies ever-increasing power, with a park maps rather Limited), Objective mode (of course you complete certain objectives, like winning a treasure, kill enemies as possible, to kill a particular target of the enemies ..).

I can safely say that the multiplayer is solid, populated by a very active community, fast and furious. In addition, each time you win a multiplayer game (but you'll also single player when they complete the objectives of the current mission) will be awarded money based on the points you scored. These points will serve to buy weapon upgrades, cosmetic changes to the playable characters (skins winter etc.), etc. ...

But there's more: the money you earn will also purchase several "changes" to the single-player gameplay.

Summing up

In short, if you have not yet understood, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is something magnificent in every way, that everyone should have in your collection of PS3 games. YOU MUST HAVE if you have a PS3 Uncharted 2. It is mathematical.

The scoreboard

10 GRAPHICS Magification, attention to every detail, explosions of a perfection never seen before (only comparable to those of Crysis) ... what about: perfectly made game. Never a polygon that overlaps, never a bug ...

9 SOUND Inspired and evocative music, which emphasize the epic atmosphere of the adventure best yet on consoles and possibly PC, well-made sound effects and dubbing in general excellent, except for some minor trimming which denotes lack of inspiration, but nothing that impairing the overall quality of the title.

LONGEVITY '9.5 Great single player (12 hours in normal mode), high replay value due to the fact that in each level there are hidden treasures to find. In all, 100 and the first time I find them all is impossible. Among other things, the story is so beautiful that you will pray that never ends, then replay the story mode once again, perhaps at a higher difficulty, makes the title very very long-lived. If we then add a good multiplayer segment thickness and always fun ...

What about ... is for games like these that I'm glad to have the PS3!
