This. I know everyone is going ga-ga over the train level but this IMO is the most brilliant section in the game. The amount of polygons & geometry they are pushing here with all those crazy effects is simply mind boggling.

 

this was epic. but the train level (shanti :rofl: ) was just too much fun.

n i soo enjoid killing that dumb steroid loaded garza at the end.. :rofl:

wtf.. u hav to let him come to you n punch him.. n the gun is pistole. killer weapon.

 

yes at first i shot him with machine gun ( hes a bloddy terminator, then he lobs a grenade and comes running towards me and got hold of me, after breaking out by punching him in the face, i quickly took out the pistol shotgun and fired two shots in his face. And he drops.

Warning: Ive placed spoiler tags everywhere, but still suggest anyone who hasnt completed the game to maybe read this later. Dont go highlighting the spoiler text by mistake.

 

Done done finally done...a great ride...absolutely a GOTY contender...

 

I have to say...ill still stick by my initial verdict that the stealth level took some of the shine off...but bear with that crappy level...because approximately the next 4-5 hours are probably the best levels ever designed in a game. Intricate level design...with absolutely no flaw whatsoever.

 

Uncharted 2 outshines anything else out there...WHEN its firing on all cylinders...unfortunately this happens for around 6 hours between the start and the end. Those six hours sandwiched in the middle of the start and end...are an outright assault on your senses...and anyone who is not aurally or visually impaired cannot help but just sit back and take it all in. The game really kicked into gear

once you enter Nepal, the escape from Nepal is mindblowing,

it was just OMFG moment after OMFG...What sets this game apart is the places where they use platforming, unexpected and totally awesome. Even the evolved Quick Time events are FTW! Good job naughty Dog.

 

Now you see I keep praising the middle...what about the end?

 

Seems like the 18 month development cycle caught up with Naughty Dog, its obvious they ran out of time..and with time...they ran out of ideas.

 

From chapter 22 onwards, things very quickly race downhill till the final boss fight(except one 15 second awesome setpiece,

that falling piece of rock, you are standing on, and shooting baddies in Shambala

). The boss fight is also pretty good fare. However, the last act of the game pours one enemy after the other, again and again and again. There were times I was praying for them to stop. Ad Naseum people. Ad f**king Naseum. But I guess thats the price to pay for getting the game so quickly after the first one came out....hardly two years.

 

The last level...the very last push..

.is straight out of Halo...It felt like the Maw from Halo 1 and even more so like the Full Circle from halo 3...maybe even those Metroid escape sequences

...and its totally awesome...every freaking second of it. You'll totally understand me when you get there and people who have played both games may agree.

Chapter 22 - 25 feel like the Library from Halo...boring, uninspired, as if they devs stole the fun away from us and the final level are exciting, head-pumping races for your lives while the world crumbles.

Is THIS why Naughty Dog thanked Bungie in the credits? Because I just cant shake this feeling off.

 

And a very satisfying end. A good way to wrap up the game.

but those six hours of gameplay...the ones in the middle...they warrant repeated playthroughs by any gamer...they are worth buying a PS3 alone.

 

GOTY contender...certainly not perfect...but close...What UC2 is a really high budget movie, with explosions going everywhere and the best (voice)actors in the business, in the best locales imaginable? Is it going to keep you up at nights and make you think about it? Maybe not.

dude the difference between sdtv and hdtv is about 6 times the detail. i remember playing the first uncharted using composite cable and thinking why is everyone raving about graphics? then i plugged in hdmi. and uc2 looks ten times as gorgeous and detailed as uc.

 

in hd the important parts in the journal are easy to read. some of the journal pics are hilarious.

are you talking about uc1 ...i had to make out the words with its first letter (for the statue puzzle) ..it took me almost 30 mins to understand the words. :) but the graphics look beautiful even on sdtv... i know on hdtv it would be just mind blowing and the right way to play these games.
