Uncharted 2 : Among Thieves Review

Storyline

Wow........ Uncharted 2. Just wow. This game is simply amazing. It takes place all over the world from Italy to Borneo, Nepal to Tibet. You're a famed fortune Hunter, Nathan Drake who is lured into the world of thieves when your friend, Flynn tells you about a treasure that could make you wealthy beyond belief. You then find that your not alone in this hunt for power. A fugitive war criminal has hired an army to help him find the treasure that could make him the fiercest leader the world has ever seen. This story is full of betrayals and last second failures that lead to the climax.

Settings

This game has amazing graphics and almost realistic views. This game has three main aspects, fighting, climbing, and solving puzzles. The action scenes in this game are vast. You have stealth kills, gun fights, melee fights, and even turret vs helicopter fights. Climbing is okay, though it can get irritating when you are falling constantly or don't know where to jump to, it makes you feel like some sort of ninja when you are jumping from ledge to ledge. Solving puzzles is the same, irritating when you get stuck, but gives you a sense of pride when you complete them.

Game Play

As I said before there are three main types of game play, fighting, climbing, and puzzles. However, there are time when those aspects are combined and make it more fun, but also more challenging. There is also game play where you have moving environments and you have to compensate turns and speed.

Online Play

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves monline multiplayer is one of the best I've ever seen. Everyone starts out with the same weapons and you have to find others which makes it more fair since usually the higher ranks have better guns. I've never seen anyone hack this game and I've owned for nearly a year now and there's almost no lag. The game play here is simply addicting and will have you hooked for days of game play.

The Verdict

Overall this game kicks ass. It's graphics are amazing and gameplay is simply very fun. I recomend it to anyone who owns a PS3.
Final score: 9.7/10

Pros:

1. Best plot evar
2. fun gameplay
3. amzing grapics
4. best multiplayer on ps3

Cons:

1. gets frustrating
2. moves a bit slow
   

inFamous Review

Storyline

In the game inFamous you play as Cole, a person who makes his living delivering packages. One day you are carrying a package that happens to be a bomb. It explodes in a huge burst of electricity killing everyone in a 6,000 foot radius, except you! Instead it gives you powers which you use for good or evil and decide the fate of Empire City. The story is filled with death and betrayal and the end leaves you on an amazing cliffhanger that leaves you thirsty for the sequel.

Characters

Throughout the game you meet many different people from FBI agents, to undercover spies. You have a best friend, Zeke, and a girlfriend, Trish. You have enimies like deformed witches, to gang conduits, and a special surprise at the end but I won't spoil that. There are many characters who all have different fates that affect you as Cole. I really like character development and how they affect the storyline and how the climax plays out.

Game Play

Throughout the game you can perform a variety of missions. Story missions, side missions, good missions, and evil missions. Good missions and evil missions are counted as side missions but they affect if you become good or evil. Also the game play is a bit different in good missions and evil missions. In good missions you usually protect people or save them. Sometime you help out cops in fights against the gangs or you can transport gang members to the police station for interrogation. In evil missions you usually assassinate people or cause riots, or strike blows against cops. Sometimes you steal things to. Those missions affect your karma and make people like you or hate you. In side missions you perform random favors that don't change your karma even if they seem good or evil. These missions include hooking up satellites, disabling surveillance, spying, defending or destroying police stations, finding hidden packages,and deffending medic zones. All of these missions take over territory which enemies will not return to. Story missions have a huge variety to.

In story missions you recharge power to the city, disable tar kegs, make desicions that make you good or evil, save people, protect supplies, and you have some epic boss battles. Not to mention that almost any battle you have can be epic, by the extreme. All of this stuff affects the last level where you finally realize the truth about you, and your enemy. The story through takes about 10-12 hours depending on how good you are and your difficulty level. There's one more feature of gameplay which is just hunting for blast shards and daed drops. Blast shards give you more power and dead drops give you clues to what will happen next in the story, or if they don't they give you information on your enemies.

The Verdict

I really love this game. It has a lot of variety and many battles give you the sense of being in them, while it can get annoying at some parts the game gives a lot of fun gameing and is a must own for any playstation user.
