It's very subjective: same game, but different vastly different experiences. Don't get me wrong, Uncharted 2 is an excellent game- I just like to nitpick! I'm playing through again on hard, so I'll update this post if I change my mind! That’s what is great about video games. It’s very subjective: same game, but different vastly different experiences.

My personal opinion is that while Uncharted was an excellent game, it didn't quite hit the mark as a classic. Uncharted 2 on the other hand, it's almost like Naughty Dog phoned me up, asked me everything I thought was wrong with Uncharted and fixed almost every gripe I had. The combat seems satisfying, whereas in the first it felt really half-arsed to me. When it comes to believability, I found the exact opposite... In the first, for most of the game you were fighting against men in Hawaiian shirts and yet somehow they'd take an absolute barrage of bullets to kill, in the sequel, you're mostly fighting heavily armoured mercenaries. All in all, despite the fact that a lot of their "inspiration" seems to have come a little too transparently from the Gears of War series, Uncharted 2 is for me up there on the "absolutely brilliant" list. Uncharted remains simply in the "quite good" department.
