Uncharted 2 sadly formed into this Call of Duty wannabe, action heavy game, where seemingly everything improved, but became less like an unique experience, and more like a mainstreamed adventure for the masses.
The game is still great, but the charm of the original is long gone, and the cartoony vibes of the original only became visible in the writing department, everything else became a lot more gritty.
The combat seemingly improved and got worse at the same time, with the enemy variety becoming the most frustrating I have ever seen in a TPS action-platformer so far. Sometimes the game can be a nightmare even in normal difficulty with how much it spawns these ridiculusly bullet spongey enemies out from nowhere, creating really unfair situations.
The platforming is obviously a step up from the original and the collectible treasures almost doubled, so finding all of them is a real challenge this time.
What ruins this side of the game is the mentioned action sequences, where the game just throws so much action at you, that you seemingly forget this side of the game, and it becomes Call of Duty really quickly.
