Universal acclaim for Uncharted 2
A veritable master class of all-round game development. From a sensational single-player experience that never takes any short-cuts and maintains its story’s mythological credibility right to the end to the co-operative online play to the robust, balanced, and just plain fun multiplayer modes, this is a package of content that more than earns its $60 price tag… [It's] this season’s biggest PS3 victory. Playstation: The Official Magazine – 10/10
Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. It looks amazing, plays like a dream and the voice-acting/story-telling will hook you in right from the off. PS3 officially has it’s a killer-app and a million tears are shed by 360 fanboys. Games Radar – 10/10
Whether or not the multiplayer sticks, however, is arguably a footnote, because at the core of Uncharted 2 is an action-adventure masterpiece whose minor flaws are washed away on a tide of rhythm and spectacle – one that would still be an essential experience even without the option to pull your friends off cliffs and play capture-the-heirloom. Eurogamer – 10/10
It takes elements from a lot of games – the exploration of Tomb Raider, climbing of Prince of Persia/Assassin’s Creed, combat from Gears of War and stealth from Splinter Cell, yet it amalgamates all of these elements perfectly into one package. You can’t compare it to any other game. Computer and Video Games – 10/10
98/100 Metacritic – http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/ps3/uncharted2amongthieves
First!
When are we going to stop hearing ” … the killer app for POS3″? I mean really, LBP was the killer app and that didn’t even sell very well, niether did MGS4. Get a life!
Sad thing is, I can’t see this kicking the PS3 off as far as its sales go. Sony have lost this generation, and they might leave consoles altogether.
Lets see, people fawned all over the first Uncharted and that game sucked some ass hardcore. So the sequel will undoubtedly suck. You know like how the first Killzone sucked as did it’s sequel. Things tend to work out that way.

That’s sad! Out done by a game on the N64…
Also, the sales for uncharted where eclipsed by Halo:ODST in one DAY.
Lot of 360 Fanboys here i see.
Uncharted 1 was awesome can wait for this.

I don’t speak for all of the 360 fans here, but I am a 360 fan who does own a PS3. I couldn’t force myself to play through more than half of the game before I couldn’t take anymore of the tedious firefights. So I speak not only as a 360 fan, but as a PS3 owner.
Let’s get excited that after 3 years the PS3 may finally have a game that is actually a killer app. Theres so many awesome games out for the 360 i fear that one title is going to kill of the 360, or is everyone jus going to go meh (lbp, mgs4, killzone 2 etc..) and just carry on playing the new gta thats out soon? probably the latter tbh. Btw Tomb Raider is much better than Uncharted.

UH OH!
I hope Uncharted 2 is better than the first one. – U:DF had crappy graphics and woeful controls. The story was good, but the rest was rubbish.
98 on metacritic, thats higher than every 360 game combines by 1 ps3 game. amazing
