Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Review/First Impressions

[FR0Z3NTUNDRA]

He still hasn't beaten this game yet.

[BluBoulzor]

WHAT ? DON'T KILL ME ? THAT'S IT STAN YOU'RE GOING DOWN.

[videogamejo]

Puzzles work in this game because Drake is a treasure hunter. Like Indiana Jones, he has to solve puzzles and use his wits to succeed.

[Cshizzle94]

What the hell STAN, you're reviewing a game you never even beat? Music only a 7??!! BTW the Puzzles are awesome (flipping through Drake's book is hilarious). Also, you failed to mention anything about the storyline and the voice acting, which is some of THE best I've ever seen in a video game. The characters relationships and how react in situations make them so believable and funny at the same time. It's the little things that were put into this game that make it so awesome not just scenery...

[tylerfrump15]

I love Tomb Raider! =o

[kenndiata]

i didn't stop playing this game until i finish

[Canorsherd]

uncharted 2 is like metal gear solid 4 tomb raider combined and made into something that KICKS FUCKIN BALL PENIS ASS

[yugimoe]

I want to tell ya' Stan, you should buy BOTH.

Brutal Legend kicked ass.

Uncharted 2 kicked ass as well.

[gojira12345678910]

I love your reviews Stan, but really? Cover mechanics have been around since fuckin PDZero in 05 man. Gears 1 perfected it in 06.

[gogetassj495]

i disagree with ya.the puzzles make this game game even more better .

this game is a 10/10

[CarlsonsRaiders]

Me and him were war buddies in Nam, they commies hung Charlie up in the trees

[Exarian]

it's called "badass normal"

[RH98]

How the fuck does the train carriage at the begining speed up as it rolls and crashes through things?

[TheMilfman7]

Don't hate on Tomb Raider... : (

[BiPart]

Check out operation flashpoint 2 if you want a realistic fps game

[nypad5]

fuck i understand this game might be cool and I do wanna rent it eventually but seriously, I can bet ill be done with this game in like 3 hours, for fuck sakes games these days are all the same, hey we can cover behind a wall, hey quicktime events rock and hey...we regenerate health by running away and waiting a few seconds (im not sure if this happens in uncharted but it happens alot in games)

[DicemanProductions]

cant w8 to pick this up inshallah

[bobthestickman02]

You can't shoot hookers? Then why should I buy this? lol

[antagonist42]

It reminds me of Farcry.

[Xeno7771]

stop with all the cocain.

[ElvenStain]

HALO ODST IS BETTER GAME THAN UNCHARTED 2 LMXAO!!! Flashbacks!

[DicemanProductions]

are you on crackkk

[emilievonritter]

The climbing remindes me of Assassin's Creed

[essej]

wow opening moment presented by Michael Bay and directed by Jerry Brukheimer.

[Haxincorp]

Only on ps3 right?

[kingstonlj]

"Nam flashbacks, they come and go." lol

Great review. I'm definitely buying it.

[SWAGshow]

Stan, did you shrink?

[SpecialRocketSurgeon]

I totally agree with your vid! I just got this game yesterday. This just might be my favorite game EVER! I still have to get Assassin's Creed 2 first though.

I agree with the graphics, but i personally like puzzles to break up the shooting sometimes.

[RedDaVincy]

Are you going to do a shitty review one of these days? Or are you just going to be wowed by new graphics, because this is getting pretty fucking boring.

[heythisisbert]

Wrong, Stan... you get Both

[Arppis]

Was about to say the same thing! Actualy was expecting Stan to say that too... Didn't like Uncharted 1 so much, had too much shooting and less jumping and puzzle's to balance it out.

[Jalleman93]

Awesome review Stan as always ^^. The game seems alot of fun. I'll try to get it as soon as I get some allowance :D.

Btw I'm a boxer and I believe that it's better to be good at punching really hard than actually focusing on hundreds of different techniques in MMA which you never really master perfect. Anyhow that's just my opinion ^^.

[stanburdman]

Punching really hard is not going to help you much when you get taken down and submitted. When fighting a professional you HAVE to know how to grapple.

[melnliz]

Punching really hard isn't boxing, you must be a newbie. The angles of each punch is what counts. Why do you think a skinny guy can probably beat a big guy EASILY, if he knows the technique?

Also, slipping and parrying punches is also a major element. Basically if a boxer and an mma fighter JUST had a stand up match, the boxer would more than likely win.

[Jalleman93]

Exactly I've been a boxer for 4 years and i can tell that the technique of it is real advanced. MMA Fighters are in my opinion people who never really mastered a single technique completely while a boxer masters it fully with close quarter hand-combat.

[melnliz]

Exactly my man. Boxers perfect their art, MMA fighters just know alot of fighting techniques.

The only technique that can beat a boxer is Jiu Jitsu, wrestling. Bowers aren't used to the ground, and that's what makes MMA fighters have a SLIGHT edge against them.

[Jalleman93]

Word, we seem to agree at this one. Brawling is not my thing and would put me in trouble, but when it comes man to man. I don't think a professional boxer would have any trouble putting down a MMA Fighter with easy if he comes in range of one of his blows.

[o0Smexy0o]

@melnliz Really? I agree with the first thing about the angles etc, but in the stand up part, a boxer vs a MMA fighter? Depends if the MMA fighter gets to use the MMA rules standing up like kick, use knees etc.

[MadMudProductions]

awesome game awesome review

[23SWOLIS]

best game ever.i love this game.everything u wnt in a game great graphics great story great acting.

[heyjeySigma]

Stan, im glad you survived your gunfight!! must have been epic, no doubt... LOL

[uglypinkmoose]

cover system is actually pretty standard now... grand theft auto is just retarded

[uglypinkmoose]

i got brutal legend

but i'm a metal head so theres no choice in the matter

[neverchris]

I enjoyed the Brutal Legend apathy haha... Yeah, this game is quite good.

[Neon3xusAtherisVirus]

yea there's already an article release about why it cant run on a 360, and major one being that it cannot run Dx10 and second being the GPU requirments and such, but as for PC i think they arent porting it over due the the fact that it's a console seller owned by sony. but wow the game look AMAZING!

[jobrien2001]

How come they dont make this fotr PC omg... it would look so much better

[Vkmies]

Its a ps3 exclusive so i dont think microsoft is going to have the game.

[TheSingingMofo]

Damned vietnam flashback.

[jimmyohdez]

"you can not kill hookers in the game so thats not good" ROFL!!!!!!

[boodz86]

"this is pretty than real life, OMG" LOL, hilarious dude :D

[LupianiunStar]

Nice flashback, Stan. XD

And *GASP* 10/10? You never give a game 10/10(I know because I went through all your reviewing movies and watched them in about three days)! You must reaaally love this game. ^^

[BoldNewTradition]

Hell yes!!

I gett'n this shit tomorrow!!

How did you get it so early??

Great review Stan as always. :)

[strider3283]

how did he get it so early? lol...the game came out Oct. 13 and the vid was made on oct. 13

[jumblejunkie]

man i need a ps3

[ahelplesskitten7]

you said jak and dexter WTH!! its jak dAxter

[timmydecost]

your acting was terrible haha

[W1D0W187]

Kudos on the MMA comment.

[masticina]

I still want to play out the first one. But this sounds like allot of fun.

[KingyoOtoko]

I didn't really like this game. It was a pretty good Adventure game. I felt the same about the 1st game. One thing I love about these games is Nathan, that dude rules! He is one awesome main character and any game he is the star of I will play, even if I don't like the acual game very much.

[sid666kurt]

FUCK THE NYPD

[stringanime]

The Accoustics in that valley sound like a bathroom.

[StrayZer0]

can't fcuking wait til this game comes out here inuk this friday, i am so buying it when i finish work and im goingto play it all through the weekend until i beat it!

[AussiePrideMate66]

hope your not making fun of the vietnam war, dont take it like im stuck up but making fun of any war isnt cool.

[stanburdman]

Now you tell me, after I wrote an hour and 30 minute stand-up routine on the French and Indian war.

[restuber]

lol

[Cshizzle94]

@stanburdman What the hell STAN, you're reviewing a game you never even beat? Music only a 7??!! BTW the Puzzles are awesome (flipping through Drake's book is hilarious). Also, you failed to mention anything about the storyline and the voice acting, which is some of THE best I've ever seen. The characters relationships and how react in situations make them so believable and funny at the same time. It's the little things that were put into this game that make it so awesome not just scenery...

[vortigaunt911]

I think he's making fun of all of the flashbacks you often see in movies.

[GreenestGanja2]

@AussiePrideMate66 Most of everyone who joins the army is going in voluntarily... and I'm sure they know the scenario of war may always take place.... if they don't then well.... they deserve whats coming lol

[volcano798]

i think ur know my my frinds dad becuz his name is Charlie O.o he was in Vietnam

[vortigaunt911]

You realize there was more than one person in the Vietnam War named Charlie, right, dumbass?

[volcano798]

DUH, I was just saying dang,do ur meaness elsewhere.

[DASamX5453]

No hookers?!?!?! Then how is Drake suppose to get his energy back? That's it...I'm not buying it now...LOL

[Gwainafair]

face

[AlienJuiceOfficial]

lol drake 2 :-D 5/5 Stars

[ineedsleepingpills]

poor charlie...

[MaMastoast]

lemme guess, no pc release ? pff

[djnforce9]

Yup. No PC release. Quite unfortunate because I really wanted to try this game..

[KostjaMRH]

You can't kill hookers in the game? But what are the guns for ?

[xrobb94x]

lol

[MrMike0113]

I was sold on this until I heard you coudn't kill hookers.

This is a complete disgrace, how dare Naughty Dog not let us kill hookers? How dare they try to make it so Fox News have nothing to talk about when they run out of real, accurate stories.

[MrMike0113]

Why the Hell have I been thumbed down for that?

[nephildevil]

kinda looks like tombraider but without the babe

[DASamX5453]

It basically is. So, if you like Tomb Raider you will like Uncharted 1 and 2.

[Hellsadvocate]

Haha stan tried not to laugh when he said off the shizzle.

I love you stan, I really do.

[TravelJoe2010]

MMA is already better than boxing.

[Jas0nM5]

55!

[FakeJackTheRipper]

yeah your reviews kick ass!!

[uffjr]

Verry impressive game it does deserve a 10/10

[GamerNGF]

Love your reviews stan!

*starts singing stan's in charge*

[onukoll]

godamn!

[onukoll]

FIRST!

[nubbytubbys]

furst lol

[maxvago1234]

[nubbytubbys]

people like YOU need to get a sense of humor immediatly

[maxvago1234]

well I just don't like people that say FIRST!!! it just makes you look dumb and you even spell it wrong so then its even worse

[nubbytubbys]

did I say "FIRST!!!"? I didnt... you dont think by the misspelling of first and the lol at the end that I was kidding?

[maxvago1234]

you sayed first but you spelled it wrong and the lol just is telling me you like to be a douche bag

[nubbytubbys]

cool people who laugh are douches....

[maxvago1234]

why thank you I am cool but anyway thats just a stereotype
