Played it straight after the first game and more or less directly fell in love with it :D I couldn't believe how much better this game was in all aspects of gameplay and storytelling. I was so happy that there was less shooting and you spend much more time exploring and puzzling. Add to that the unique atmosphere of the Himalayan setting, great music and graphics....it just all feels so well put together, for me Uncharted has never been better than in this installment.
