Uncharted 2 is a longer game than Uncharted 1, yet it feels shorter, because the pacing is impeccable. And that's really what carries the game. The breakneck pacing.

The game starts with you hanging off of a train, then flashes back to a botched heist, and then suddenly you're shooting russians in a jungle and talking about Marco Polo, and by the end of the game you're blasting through swarms of immortal yeti people while jumping through an exploding lost civilization.

It's dumb, the shooting's fun, and I enjoyed every second of it.
