I love me some fun action sequences but the sequel leans too far into straight-up action-shooter. Thus, for a while at least, the sequel trades in its Da Vinci Code style story-telling for summer blockbuster action-packed set-pieces, gunfights, and explosions. Lazerevic has his own personal army of endless troops with military-grade hardware, including tanks, miniguns, and even helicopters. The more action-heavy tone is courtesy of new villain Lazerevic, which is a hell of a Bond villain name (he also looks and sounds like a Bond villain).

While the change of scenery is nice, it goes on for a bit too long and makes the game feel a bit too much like any other military shooter. Much of the first half of the story moves away from the usual ruins and jungles and into the urban war-zone of Borneo.

#Uncharted 2 characters movie#
Uncharted loves its action movie tropes and deals out several handfuls throughout the course of the game, including the saucy female heroine Chloe who bounces back and forth between Drake and Flynn (and thankfully ends up on the right side by the end). Your old thieving buddy is a back-stabbing, selfish jerk? No way! Predictably, Flynn betrays Drake after the opening heist prologue in Istanbul. They’re fellow international treasure seekers – which is fancy for thieves.Īs in the first game, Drake and company follow the clues left by a centuries old explorer, this time Marco Polo, in the hopes of discovering the lost land of Shambhala (Shangra La).

The story unites swashbuckling Indiana Jones-like star Nathan Drake with new characters Chloe and Flynn. These Final Thoughts are based entirely on the single player campaign. *Note* – since I’m playing the remastered edition from the Nathan Drake Collection on PlayStation 4, I haven’t played, nor cannot comment on the multiplayer components of Uncharted 2. Uncharted 2 is an improvement over the original in many ways, yet still hampered by some of the same flaws, including a horrendously awful final boss fight that’s even worse than the original. To me it’s mostly the sequel to Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune. There was a time when Uncharted 2: Among Thieves was considered one of the best video games ever made, and certainly one of the best to emerge from the Xbox 360/PlayStation 3 era (it comfortably sits at a remarkable 96/100 on MetaCritic).
