The Uncharted series has always seemed as close to a movie as a game can get, the uncharted games have always felt at their strongest when they were as big as they possibly could get with massive setpieces like the opening of Uncharted 2 when you are hanging from a train in the snow which is about to fall off a cliff. It gives me that same feeling that a film like 1992's Hardboiled gives me, it's just plain awesome it's pure action adventure bliss.

The worst bit about uncharted 2 and the uncharted series as a whole is its shooting mechanic, its just simply not very responsive or satisfying. All the guns as well don't have much of a difference to each other, with it being more useful to just stick to one gun the entire game than switching around like you would in a series like Halo or Half-Life.

Overall Uncharted 2 is a love letter to action films of the past with its expansive Indiana Jones like story and massive blockbuster setpieces, its a must have for fans of action adventure games and must have for PlayStation diehards.
