Luckily, Uncharted 2 improves upon the first game in almost every possible way, with only a few small complaints stopping this from reaching a 5. The story feels way more in depth here, especially compared to the first game. I was very glad by the change of scenery as the first game was ALL IN THE JUNGLE and this had a couple of varied locations that shook up the pace every now and then. The gameplay was much more fleshed out in this game, with the addition of stealth, enemy variety, more weapons and environments made this a way more well rounded experience.
But sadly, there’s a reason this wasn’t a 5, and that odds almost entirely because of the section from after the train crash and before the village under siege section. That section just bored me to my core and I had to take a break because I wanted to play something entertaining. Aside from that though, overall Uncharted 2 is an incredible game that 1-ups its predecessor in almost every way.
