You peeps have probably wondered why i hadn't posted a Christmas post... Well, that's because i'm not Catholic, i'm Orthodox. Not that many people are Orthodox, only Russians, Bulgarians, partially Macedonians, partially Montenegrians, Serbs, parially Bosnians, Belarussians, Ukrainians. On this day, the people from the Sloven category of people celebrate Christmas by going to the church of their great holy people (if i can call them like that). Many of us go to the temple of Sv. Sava in Belgrade, Serbia because it's the biggest Orthodox church in the world. Today, i will be staying home, playing video games, studying for a bit and eating muffins that my mom made me! :) Aaaaand nooow, the Christmas special, review of one of the best games ever made, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves.
THE REVIEW
Naughty Dog is a studio that was formed way back, in 1997. The studio became famous for its Playstation-only franchise 'Crash'. It's one of the only developers that stayed with SONY since its establishement. Uncharted 2: Among Theieves is the second installement in the series, that brings us the brand new adventures of Nathan Drake in a terrific way. I found myself going through the entire campaign for 4-5 times (which took about 40-50 hours) and then i got onto the multiplayer.
PRESENTATION
You play as Nathan Drake, a guy hungry for money and hidden treasure. The beginning of the campaign is pretty interesting, and reminds us of some cool moments from the Hollywood filming industry. After he jumps from a train hanging from a high cliff in the Himalayes, Nathan falls into sleep, and dreams about the consequences that led him to the place where he is. He gets betrayed by a good friend of his, thus gets imprisoned in a Turkish prison, then he gets rescued by Victor Sullivan and Chloe (a brand new character). The story is, by far, the best one i have experienced yet, and it delivers such a feeling of adventure. Nathan's Indiana Jones-like moves and sayings just make me fall into the story more, so i had to go through the campaign in one try, because the twists of events were totally unseen and unexpected. When i thought that the story was over, i soon realized that the story had literally just begun as i got closer to the part with the train-hanging-from-a-cliff moment. The game offers plenty of weapons to choose from, from the painted AK-47 to the Z-27 pistol. When you win trophies, you get points that you can spend on cheats, skins, hats and guns. I spent 40-50 hours in the campaign (it lasts for 10 hours, but i did it multiple times), and i still didn't find all of the artifacts! After i was done with the campaign, not really once and for all, i jumped into the bizzare and fun multiplayer.
GRAPHICS
UC2 has graphics that are high even for today's standards. Naughty Dog put a huge amount of details into the game, lighting, objects, shaders etc. It still looks unbelievable, and it came out 5 years ago!
MULTIPLAYER
In multiplayer, there are ranks and perks. Every perk is won with experience, so are ranks. By playing the campaign and the multiplayer, you win points with which you buy skins, starting weapons, and perks if you are impatient. Matchmaking could be better, and i experienced lag and bullet glitching as i shot a gun sometimes, basically, you would hit someone 2-3 seconds after you had fired that shot, but nothing really serious. The point is, you will have a ton of fun.
THE VERDICT
Uncharted: Drakes Fortune was a blast, but Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is an atomic bomb. It's a rare situation that the second installment is better than the first. I give this fantastic game a 9.8/10 as lag in multiplayer knew how to trick me sometimes and other players. For more reviews, check out my blog. Laters.
