Basically your review is 40 minutes whining about mechanics and things that could be better ¿?with a game that is more than 10 years old and that is still a total masterpiece in design, narrative, gameplay and story.
in the lazarevic boss fight if you shoot him a lot before shooting the resin one explosion will be enough to make go into the next "phase" making it less tedious
15:40 Just finished my first playthrough of Uncharted 2! I was able to beat Lazarevic with guns and grenades! Just cause I could never time the resin explosions correctly
Its not out of context. It was a brilliant metaphor for how hot the jungle was as well as how close to hell you'd feel you were as a hooker in church...
Love how Nate and Sully’s next lines of: “…you brought a hooker to church?” “Why not?” implies this isn’t Sully using a figure of speech, but a personal anecdote. Makes you wonder what the hell that mustache gets up to between adventures.
yooo boys i miss the multiplayer soo soo much. nothing was more satisfying than the sounds it made after getting a kill and stealth killing someone in multiplayer was so fucking dope. soo sad they didn’t bring the MP back for the remasters :(
The Uncharted games especially Uncharted 2 highlight how great linear games can be. When I see the majority of new games nowadays are open world, it makes be believe the current industry has not a clue about what makes a great game and wrongfully think open world is all we want to play now.
Uncharted franchise is, not a game. It's just not. Anyone who says it's a game, are nongamers, people who don't enjoy gaming but enjoy watching movies or tv shows. Calling uncharted a game is an insult to gaming. Naughty dog has hurt gaming in a way that it's still suffering to this day and will continue to suffer. Linear games can be fun, resident evil, metal gear solid, prince of persia, etc...are all linear games, but they are good games bcos they had proper gameplay, uncharted does not have proper gameplay, it's either fake platforming or bland gears of war. And that's pretty much it as far as gameplay goes. The rest is just cutscenes. I will never forgive naughty dog for what they did to gaming.
With the level of polish that open world games are reaching now (Horizon, GoT, etc) a linear game a la Uncharted would need to be seriously amazing, technically and in storytelling. Like TLOU 2.
@@waveplay3978 You make it sound like making an amazing linear game technically and storytelling is impossible. One does come along occasionally still and they are selling extremely well. Just naming one recent example, Guardians of the Galaxy. And I am sure there are some you have enjoyed. Then, there have been some open world games that are just meh or too big for their own good.
@@therandomguy2441 Wdym by "what they did to gaming"? If you mean how they popularized that genre among developers and gamers, its just you having an unpopular opinion. For that to happen, there would need to be active demand for that type of game, which there definitely is as proven by this comment. If its just to this series in general, it's not for you considering thats whats its mainly been about since the first game
@@muggerpugger3231 i mean, fake gameplay, walkey talkey sections, long ass cutscenes, lackluster gameplay in the name of cinematic set pieces.... That's what I mean by "what they did to gaming". Linear storydriven game genre has always been popular. They didn't popularize the genre, they popularized the poor gameplay that is now plaguing all linear games and even open world games to a certain extent. Tomb raider is the best example of this.
I remember the first time I played that collapsing building sequence. I thought it was going into cutscene, so I put my controller down not realizing I was still in control and ended up dying lol. Definitely one of the most memorable sequence of the series.
I absolutely love the uncharted theme song. It’s one of the truly iconic theme songs. Just a few tones in and u know what it is straight away. Another great vid Aqua.
I haven't had a playstation since I was a kid, but I remember playing Uncharted 2 for the first time, and I loved it so much. I never played the first one, and I for some reason didn't think it was all that popular, so imagine my shock when I see a fucken subway commercial for the third game, like days after I beat the second one.
The first uncharted was popular. Uncharted 2 would not have been the blockbuter it was, if the first game had done poorly. That said, Among Thieves was a masterclass, in interactive storytelling, that withdrew all the fluff from Uc1(like the motion controls), and doubled down on everything the first game did well.
my dad was part of the first wave of consumers for a PS3 so we got the fat model when it was like 700 bucks, mainly so my dad could have a blu-ray player for his mancave when those were MORE expensive than a console with one inside. since my parents are divorced, i only got to play games on it on the weekend until eventually, he bought another slim model bundled with Uncharted 2. He kept the slim model for himself, and gave me the fat one and Uncharted 2 along with other games he wasn't interested in. i loved that machine and game until the day it died.
@@WeencieRants that was also right at the time Sony changed their PS3 advertising, going with that Kevin Butler guy and comedic scripts. Basically, that era of advertising is responsible for the PS3 eventually outselling the X360.
The simplistic yet diverse nature of only having 3 ar’s was absolutely brilliant. The fal and ak47 had their respective advantages and weaknesses while the m4 remained a bit of a catchall as the top tier but making it only available thru ground loot was perfectly balanced. Hit boxes were phenomenal and the cover system/blindfire metas reminiscent of gears was amazing. All in all a superb multiplayer experience that could have easily been competitive.
Hey Aqua just wanted to correct something about the "Boss fight" in the train. You only have to do enough damage to make his helmet fall off. When it does you have to melee him to finish the fight.
I love how you start off during the middle of the story and then go back and then come back to that same point and relive it. It gives the game a nice touch.
I love this game so much. Although I prefer 4, this is such a remarkably solid and infinitely repayable experience I can’t help but love it. What an insane glow up (in more ways than one) from this game to the first. Cant wait to watch the video!
I’ll never forget being an 8 year old kid opening up my PlayStation 3 on Christmas with this game with it. The feeling of experiencing the set pieces for the first time being completely immersed in the world is something I’ll never let go of. 4 is definitely the best, but 2 will forever hold that special place in my heart
I left a comment on the first Uncharted video in which I mentioned how I only recently played the franchise for the first time. After finishing Uncharted 1 I could totally see the bright future ahead. I could see the flaws in the execution of the first game and I remember saying to myself "There's definitely something here. I feel like more polished action sequences and a greater focus on great set pieces would make the formula of the first game shine brighter." Uncharted 2 DELIVERED. I genuinely feel like there's a huge jump in almost every single aspect when it comes to Among Thieves. The visual presentations is similar when it comes to pure graphics but the actual presentation and visual style is just overall better. Uncharted 1 had a lot of unpolish looking buildings that felt like giant blocks of cement with climbable divots put into them. Uncharted 2 on the other hand puts a lot of effort into making each area feel unique and visually striking. The buildings in Nepal (I think that's the city lol) all legitimately feel real and are so fun to climb around and fight in. The simple improvement of the melee system is basic but it does a great job at making those encounters more fun to play. The action set pieces are GREAT and there's so many of them. Genuinely still some of the most memorable in the story. The incredible train sequence, the exciting helicopter fight in the city that this video does such a great job describing, the yeti fight. They're all great and very memorable! The first game had a few things like this but they were farther apart and some of them sucked, like the jet ski segments. Honestly, this video does a great job at detailing some of the complaints I would have with this game. As well as some of the things that make it so great. However, there are some things I disagree with. For example I agree that the puzzles in this game are similarly simple and just follow what your notebook says kind of things from the first game. The whole franchise has that problem in general. I do think though that even if they're not very challenging the puzzles in this game manage to be A LOT more memorable than those of the first game and that's solely because of scope. In the first game you'd enter a room and move around some statues or press some switches. In this game you climb around a giant statue and move it around. Fundamentally they're the same kind of puzzles but they just feel grander. Lastly another thing I don't entirely agree with is the story. Don't get me wrong, I think the videos idea that the story retraces a lot of threads from the first game and how the story falls apart if you start picking at it are true. I just feel like it doesn't really matter. Who cares if the story falls apart if you start picking at it, you can do that to some of the most influential and iconic movies of all time. As long as they serve their purpose and feel believable to the gameplay I think its fine. Another thing is just that I feel like the story in Uncharted 2 is just told way better. The beats are all punchier and cleaner. The cutscenes move fast and tell you exactly what you need to know in a more effective fashion then the first game did. Starting the story from half way in and jumping back is a bit of a cliché trope but it works REALLY well for Uncharted. Since a big point of the franchise is trying to get the player to feel like their playing a movie I feel. I just genuinely think the story is told in such a well paced and well directed fashion. That's why I feel like it surpasses the first game. Also I agree that the final boss kinda bad but I think it should be given some credit since it's the only final boss in an Uncharted game that feels like a boss. With like an actual mechanic and gameplay and not a mini game or just a shoot out. Excellent video though, I can't wait to see what your thoughts on Uncharted 3 are.
Thank you Amy Hennig for this masterpiece. It shows the power of linear story-driven games. Even though it's linear, it's so enjoyable that you can replay it over and over again. Ironically most open world that in theory are made to be replayed have 0 replayability because the vast world feels hollow and with less focus on the story they are not as memorable (Witcher 3 is the exception). It's the perfect mix of action, story, set pieces, characters and pacing. I don't know if Uncharted 2 is the best game ever, but it couldn't be done any better.
I just got my hands on a PS4 and am playing through the series for the first time ever (played Uncharted 4 first on a friend's PS4 couple of years ago) Frankly, the first Uncharted hasn't aged well at all for me, I can see how it would've been amazing back when it came out but in the present day, it felt tedious to get through and I had to push myself through it rather than feeling compelled to continue like the best games do. Uncharted 2 on the other hand, has aged like the finest wine. I've spent hours in photo mode alone, the graphics, especially the art direction and the lighting are gorgeous even in 2022/23 and the train section had me so awe-struck I immediately came to RUclips and found this video, currently at Tenzin's village and I can see this video has some spoilers so I'll return once I finish the game but it's already an all time classic in my eyes, but not the first one, no offense to those who enjoyed it when it came out and continue to enjoy replaying it today, just...don't think I'll ever wanna replay that again.
thats funny I've never played them either and I just did the same I've had the Nathan drake collection since it came out and never played it, I just beat the first 2 in like four days now I'm gonna play the third tomorrow. the first was fun but by the zombie creatures I was like ok let's get this over with and play the 2nd...the 2nd started out kinda slow but once it picked up I was all in.
the way it starts with the hero gut-shot and sitting in a train hanging off a cliff, and you have to escape the train while injured, then you pass out in the snow, then it flashbacks a couple weeks and you play the game up until the moment the game starts with you shot on a train; is fuggin brilliant. That game hooked me so hard because that (style? pacing?) of story telling was just really innovative for a video game.
12:13 idk my guy, watching you play I can tell, at least from my perspective oc, that we played the game entirely differently. What I like about Uncharted is the verticality and mobility of the gameplay during fight pieces, in my opinion, that's what sets it apart from other TPS, you are constantly moving, shooting from the hip, grabbing other weapons, ambushing/punching enemies, using stealth jumping/climbing to the higher ground, etc, etc. I, at least, am constantly moving from cover to open areas and so on, I rarely use the aim button unless is an sniper rifle or something like that
Like, what's the GAMEPLAY? Fake platforming and gears of war. That's all that I have noticed in uncharted franchise. I played uncharted 2 and 4, and I didn't enjoy either of them.
@@Mbolf24 that's, true tho. Yes, gears of war is infact better than uncharted. It's laughable to say uncharted is a game. Uncharted series is an insult to gaming. Naughty dog has hurt gaming in a way that it still suffers even to this day and I will never forgive naughty dog for what it did to gaming.
@@Mbolf24 just think for a sec, what gameplay does uncharted have? Like i said, fake platforming and gears of war. Except that gears of war does cover shooting a lot better. Obviously i dont want fake platforming, and If i want cover based shooting i would get gears of war. So why would I buy uncharted? Gears of war is literally better than uncharted, and that's saying something.
11:52 Okay I am so glad that this was mentioned because this has been a pet peeve for the longest time with the early uncharted games and some shooters with bullet spread. You pretty much summed it up when you said: “So many times I would take unnecessary damage due to my recital being right on an enemy and it just going borderline around them.” lol
Uncharted 2 was the first of the series I played and hoooollllyyyy crap I had never played anything like it up until that point. Playing the train sequence for the first time is a moment that I'll always remember.
amazing game. thx for great timing in le review. big childhood flashback that made me remember how i stole my personality from this game and, after not playing in in years, i still make jokes from it without realizing. le best game in the series and le best reviewer ever. 10/10 say hi to the family for me
Hands down it will go down as the all times best games of all times. Especially the cinematics and graphics were something else definitely when Nate was hanging off the train. I really loved the puzzles as well the music too.
i had the pleasure to play through all 4 of the games, especially the first three one after another back in 2011. and let me tell you, the best one in the series is definitely Uncharted 2, it had the most interesting story and personally its my favorite. the first game was really nice, it had its many flaws which in some cases made it insanely difficult but in general for an early PS3 game it was pretty good. and the 3rd game felt way too easy, the story just felt like a copy-paste of Uncharted 2 just with more filler chapters for no real reason honestly. as for the 4th game, it honestly was on-par as the 2nd game for the most part, though the ending was actually pretty surprising (i didn't think they would fast-forward time in the ending THAT much but i'm not going to spoil it for you if you didn't play it yet). i didn't really play the spin-off games (The Lost Legacy and Golden abyss), from what i know Golden Abyss is extremely generic and kind of dull but filled to the brim with the Vita's gimmicky controls for no reason, but The Lost Legacy is actually a pretty decent background story game for Chloe. i do have both of them, but the only one i'd probably play someday would be The Lost Legacy, Golden Abyss sounds does not sound exciting enough for me for me to take my Vita out of its drawer again lol
Golden abyss was actually pretty good. The face touch controls were great. The rear touch controls, not so much. The coolest part was doing rubbings and stuff, where you were basically creating Nate's iconic notepad. Other than that, it's a fairly standard Uncharted game. Would be great, if they did a remastered PS4/5 version of it(Like Ubisoft did For the Assassin's Creed Vita title)
I have a hard time choosing between uncharted 2 and 4 because I love them for very different reasons. I love uncharted 4 for it's more slower adventurous pace and mature storytelling. Uncharted 2 I love for being just a tightly wound replayable fun adventure that never gets old
It's certainly still my favorite. I started a new playthrough a while back on Crushing difficulty, and it has been destroying me but it's been so much fun at the same time.
I'll put it like this. When I first played Metal Gear Solid on the ps1, to me it was the game that made me feel like games can be cinematic and felt like playing a movie. When I first played Uncharted 2, it made felt like I was playing a Blockbuster movie which no game made me felt that way till Uncharted 2. The Last Of US introduced character development done right in a video game with excellent pacing that made you fully invested in the characters let alone the story.
I played all the uncharted games when they came out, I still can't believe uncharted 2 is 13 yrs old, I remember I always based my haircuts in highschool as Nathan's
In my case, Lazarovich was taken down by about 9 explosions of resin. Because, he actually vulnerable to bullets when he stunned by explosion. Just shoot when he stunned = less resin needs for explode.
as far as those brute enemies go, they tank damage because you can't just shoot their arms, legs, or bodies. you're supposed to shoot off their helmets, which only takes a couple of bullets to the head, then you can finished them off with a headshot. its interesting that you even show a clip of one of their helmets getting shot off and didn't quite make that connection, considering you were headshotting most enemies in Drakes Fortune.
Uncharted is my favorite game series not named Zelda. I know its identity is Action, but I kinda wish they would experiment with some role-playing elements and be a bit heavier on puzzles.
seriously! I was thinking it was gonna be an adventure puzzle game and it was more of a shooter adventure. I think that's because mid-late 2000s shooter games were what was dominating the market. but yeah if they cut out half the gun fights and replaced that with more puzzles and traversing it would be even greater.
While it may not be the greatest game ever for others, for me, I never had more fun with any other game than I did with Uncharted 2. It’s the GOAT in my view. Thanks for the video, man.
Love this game but yeah that train level is absolutely astounding. Still hard to believe they made this in the early 2000s. I remember playing it for the first time and just being so into it and immersed. Uncharted 2 is really when the games started to feel like an epic journey that when you get to the end you feel exhausted and like you just did everything that Nate went through.
For the boss fight in the train sequence you can just shoot him, wait for him to rush you then punch him. If manage to dodge all his attacks and attacks in between you can beat the boss in like 30sec
So i just recently replayed all of the games on brutal difficulty in anticipation for the movie (which bombed) but I remeber the final boss fight all too well 16:30 I was raging at how to defeat angry russian man, until i learned that if you hit a sap pod and stunned him you could unload a rifle magazine in his face and the entire boss fight ends in like 7 minutes
35:00 Shambala is never stated or implied to be underground, it is in an undiscovered valley. The entrance to it is underground. Still not a very good explanation, but an important distinction I guess.
I've been a gamer since the early eighties but the PS3 era might still be my favourite. Uncharted 2, Arkham Asylum, The Walking Dead (Telltale), Dead Space, The Last of Us, Modern Warfare, GTA V, Dirt 2, Puppeteer, Saboteur, Rayman Legends... the list is endless.
Damm, thanks for the upload man ❤️ Also, idk if i missed it, but are you covering Golden Abyss as well? I feel like that game is CRIMINALLY underrated to me-
Just finished uncharted 2 today for about the 4th time. This game made me fall in love with the series as a 12 year old as it was the first game I ever played on the ps3. This and infamous.
I can see why people find uncharted 2 the best uncharted game, but for me it was uncharted 4, the rope swinging and driving and man how beautiful the environment is, I always go back to that on mission where you save Sam in Madagascar because you have to drive rope swing and you get a beautiful view
Still the best to this day!!!! If u went back to 2009 in my life you would see me an 8 year old boy playing this game, if I wasn’t with my friends outside or inside. If I wasn’t in school, if I didn’t have homework. I was playing this game. If I didn’t want to play Tomb raider underworld, pure, Lego Batman or little big planet I was playing this game. Nowadays it’s more so nostalgia and still a great time, but I sadly played it to death.
I'm one of the unfortunate souls that beat this game on Crushing difficulty. Zoran Lazarevic was the bane of my fucking existence at the end there. That boss fight was like 45 minutes long for me because all I was doing was fighting for my life dodging grenades and praying I would hit him with one of the 24 explosions needed to kill him.
Uncharted doesn’t even have anything close to a progression system and I still find it super addicting man. Cause you can shoot different types of cool guns.
Uncharted 1-3 are literally the most played games I had on ps3 growing up and I plan on playing them again. I would wake up early in the morning to play them but Uncharted 4 is the only one I haven’t played yet. I heard it’s coming on pc soon so I can’t wait!!!
Uncharted 2 multiplayer is still one of my favorites. Was too busy for 3, 4 was cool too. Uncharted is actually probably one of the better multiplayers in all honesty, underrated for sure.
My biggest question and annoyance was how Flynn and Lazarevic kept showing up right behind us at very key moments when we find important information or a new entrance despite them not having the information. Literally 3 times it happens lol like wtf come on. Flynn spends 3 months in the jungles trying to figure out where to go. Drake comes along goes to the top of the mountain then the moment he gets what he needs all the sudden they all show up. Lol
I feel like story wise 3 and 4 are more spectacular and feel more like a movie,but the gameplay on 2 was incredible. Fight sequences were actually fun (and i played at last difficulty) and built so well
Great video. Subbed. I love the franchise it means a lot to me its been a backdrop to jy life for a long time in meaningful moments and I empathize with the characters. This was my favorite and I suppose still is.
when I was younger I never finished the second as I didn't understand how to run away from the tank in the city 🙃 I like the second a lot, but because I never finished it when I was younger I still have my heart wrapped around the third game
Most underrated thing about naughty dog is that they have some of the best high difficulty’s out there. I know most ppl play on easy nowadays but as someone who loves a good challenge i appreciate that so much. Naughty dog always slowly builds the challenge as the game goes on and it’s just so good. Checkpoints, enemy placements, enemy types, guns, ammo and level design are all superbly designed.
@@dustinakadustin Yeah everyone’s perfect difficulty is subjective. I think the perfect difficulty is when it almost or barely hurts the pacing of the game. Like if I get stuck once or twice in a game that’s fine. At the end of the day who cares if easy is challenging you and your having fun who cares what others think. I just really appreciate when a dev makes the highest difficulty feel fair rather than random. Like cod campaigns always have those parts where you just have to run and hope you make it through and try like 30 times until you get lucky. You would think uncharted with all its Nathan drake moments that they would be the worst games when it comes to that randomness but funny enough they are so balanced. I never feel like the devs overlooked a part and didn’t think about ppl in the hardest difficulty. Whenever I’m like how is drake gonna get out of this one there is always a rocket or something close by where as on lower difficulty’s I might overlook the rocket due to it being so easy I can do it with an ak. I think it’s a huge benefit of linear games that you can legitimately perfectly design encounters like that and NaughtyDog never fails to do just that. I haven’t played last of us 2s so idk how the open world parts are but besides that game all of their games have been almost perfect in terms of keeping the games fair.
@@jax6815 I found Last of Us 2 pretty fair, it's only got one or two "open world" segments and all the enemy encounters are in specific spots not roaming. I completely agree with everything you said.
Awesome game. I remember Playstation gave the collection away during covid but ive only just started playing again and beaten them all on crushing. Drakes fortune is easily the hardest on this mode. Great video
The fact that you can get the nathan drake collection for ps4 for less than 10 bucks, sometimes even for 5 bucks, is probably the best deal the world has ever seen
I agree with the bullet spread. I understand that at range a pistol probably won’t snipe a headshot but even when you showed it that’s not extremely far to be accurate with a pistol and you had the reticle directly on him multiple times. I’ve been in the same issue. It is highly annoying
These mechanics issues made me mad. I enjoy playing Tomb Raider but Uncharted 1 - 2 give me only frustrations because I struggle against the controls more than against the enemies
I used to run trough Uncharted like Rambo. Tried it again after years of PC gaming and my aim was horrible. Took me a couple of hours to get back to acceptable
Biggest error in the game is the cut scene when drake is watching Lazaravich drink from the tree of life ,drake has a gun in his hand can shoot him before he drinks the resin but yet he waits until he's drank it and then tries to kill Lazaravich ....a huge plot hole.
IMO, the games just keep getting better. the biggest jump in quality is from the first game to the second, and a minor jump from the second to the third. I think the fourth stands out the best and arguably has the best story and gameplay as well. games 2 through 4 are all fantastic and worth playing
All of this was on the PS3. Back then it was the best looking game on console. Until God of War 3 and The Last of Us came out. The presentation, the execution, the dialogue, the action, the sets, the polish, the pacing was unmatched - all of it was top notch. And it still holds up because its entirety worked. The game had such a big impact on me, it was the spark that ignited a firey love for believable characters. Of course nowadays there are better games out there. And people who have played newer games first, will have a different opinion. That is fair. Uncharted 2 is still one of the best games ever made. The editing fits your naration. I am looking forward to part 3.
I enjoyed the video, paying homage to one of my favorite games of all time. However, one observation I made was that young people today are way more sensitive to difficulty in games than the older generations. I played since the 80s haha I'm old, anyway, but we never complained about difficulty in games. We either played over and over until we got better or didn't play it. But we didn't go out of our ways to complain about them. I remember I played UC2 when it first came out in the hardest difficulty and it was that bad. The last boss on the hardest difficulty can be a little annoying but far from really difficult.

@@juancarlos23alva Would you rather it be 'yeah, it's good. The end.'
in the lazarevic boss fight if you shoot him a lot before shooting the resin one explosion will be enough to make go into the next "phase" making it less tedious
15:40 Just finished my first playthrough of Uncharted 2! I was able to beat Lazarevic with guns and grenades! Just cause I could never time the resin explosions correctly
13... years... later ........
"I'm sweatin' like a hooker in church" will always be the strangest out of context line for me, even in a game series like Uncharted. Great video!
Its not out of context. It was a brilliant metaphor for how hot the jungle was as well as how close to hell you'd feel you were as a hooker in church...
Because, um, wtf is she doing there? Lmao
@@__raindrops__ I mean, it is church so XD
Love how Nate and Sully’s next lines of:
“…you brought a hooker to church?”
“Why not?”
implies this isn’t Sully using a figure of speech, but a personal anecdote. Makes you wonder what the hell that mustache gets up to between adventures.
She is a sinner for that reason she is sweating from anxiety and paranoid about being judged
Uncharted is that one franchise that I’ll never stop replaying over and over again!
I replay every single uncharted game every year usually around the summertime And they still hold up in my opinion uncharted 2 is still my favorite
Same.
Imo best series ever
Same. And you have excellent taste. U2 is incredible
Yeah same. However, I personally prefer 4 > 2
Jesus Christ then you need to start playing good games for a change.
I’ve seriously lost count how many times I’ve played uncharted 2. I loved this game and The multiplayer back in The day was my shit.
I think Uncharted 2's online was the best in the series. Especially the Co-op.
yooo boys i miss the multiplayer soo soo much. nothing was more satisfying than the sounds it made after getting a kill and stealth killing someone in multiplayer was so fucking dope.

@@muggerpugger3231 i mean, fake gameplay, walkey talkey sections, long ass cutscenes, lackluster gameplay in the name of cinematic set pieces....
That's what I mean by "what they did to gaming".
Linear storydriven game genre has always been popular. They didn't popularize the genre, they popularized the poor gameplay that is now plaguing all linear games and even open world games to a certain extent.
Tomb raider is the best example of this.
I remember the first time I played that collapsing building sequence. I thought it was going into cutscene, so I put my controller down not realizing I was still in control and ended up dying lol. Definitely one of the most memorable sequence of the series.
I absolutely love the uncharted theme song. It’s one of the truly iconic theme songs. Just a few tones in and u know what it is straight away. Another great vid Aqua.
Sic parvis magna
I haven't had a playstation since I was a kid, but I remember playing Uncharted 2 for the first time, and I loved it so much. I never played the first one, and I for some reason didn't think it was all that popular, so imagine my shock when I see a fucken subway commercial for the third game, like days after I beat the second one.
They did heavily advertise UC3. I remember vividly seeing it on TV and RUclips nonstop.
The first uncharted was popular. Uncharted 2 would not have been the blockbuter it was, if the first game had done poorly.
That said, Among Thieves was a masterclass, in interactive storytelling, that withdrew all the fluff from Uc1(like the motion controls), and doubled down on everything the first game did well.
my dad was part of the first wave of consumers for a PS3 so we got the fat model when it was like 700 bucks, mainly so my dad could have a blu-ray player for his mancave when those were MORE expensive than a console with one inside. since my parents are divorced, i only got to play games on it on the weekend until eventually, he bought another slim model bundled with Uncharted 2. He kept the slim model for himself, and gave me the fat one and Uncharted 2 along with other games he wasn't interested in. i loved that machine and game until the day it died.
@@WeencieRants that was also right at the time Sony changed their PS3 advertising, going with that Kevin Butler guy and comedic scripts. Basically, that era of advertising is responsible for the PS3 eventually outselling the X360.
I really miss Uncharted 2’s multiplayer. The gunplay was probably the best for it next to 4. A lot of good memories out of this one.
The simplistic yet diverse nature of only having 3 ar’s was absolutely brilliant. The fal and ak47 had their respective advantages and weaknesses while the m4 remained a bit of a catchall as the top tier but making it only available thru ground loot was perfectly balanced. Hit boxes were phenomenal and the cover system/blindfire metas reminiscent of gears was amazing. All in all a superb multiplayer experience that could have easily been competitive.
@@nicjuls7382 haaaaaard agree.
@@nicjuls7382 you’ve just nailed what i loved about uncharted 2s multiplayer, it felt so good to play
Hey Aqua just wanted to correct something about the "Boss fight" in the train. You only have to do enough damage to make his helmet fall off. When it does you have to melee him to finish the fight.
Yeah I was looking for this comment, just need to get his helmet off, not really even a boss fight
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!
I love how you start off during the middle of the story and then go back and then come back to that same point and relive it. It gives the game a nice touch.
I love this game so much. Although I prefer 4, this is such a remarkably solid and infinitely repayable experience I can’t help but love it. What an insane glow up (in more ways than one) from this game to the first. Cant wait to watch the video!
I’ll never forget being an 8 year old kid opening up my PlayStation 3 on Christmas with this game with it. The feeling of experiencing the set pieces for the first time being completely immersed in the world is something I’ll never let go of. 4 is definitely the best, but 2 will forever hold that special place in my heart

I left a comment on the first Uncharted video in which I mentioned how I only recently played the franchise for the first time. After finishing Uncharted 1 I could totally see the bright future ahead. I could see the flaws in the execution of the first game and I remember saying to myself "There's definitely something here. I feel like more polished action sequences and a greater focus on great set pieces would make the formula of the first game shine brighter." Uncharted 2 DELIVERED. I genuinely feel like there's a huge jump in almost every single aspect when it comes to Among Thieves. The visual presentations is similar when it comes to pure graphics but the actual presentation and visual style is just overall better. Uncharted 1 had a lot of unpolish looking buildings that felt like giant blocks of cement with climbable divots put into them. Uncharted 2 on the other hand puts a lot of effort into making each area feel unique and visually striking. The buildings in Nepal (I think that's the city lol) all legitimately feel real and are so fun to climb around and fight in. The simple improvement of the melee system is basic but it does a great job at making those encounters more fun to play. The action set pieces are GREAT and there's so many of them. Genuinely still some of the most memorable in the story. The incredible train sequence, the exciting helicopter fight in the city that this video does such a great job describing, the yeti fight. They're all great and very memorable! The first game had a few things like this but they were farther apart and some of them sucked, like the jet ski segments.
Honestly, this video does a great job at detailing some of the complaints I would have with this game. As well as some of the things that make it so great. However, there are some things I disagree with. For example I agree that the puzzles in this game are similarly simple and just follow what your notebook says kind of things from the first game. The whole franchise has that problem in general. I do think though that even if they're not very challenging the puzzles in this game manage to be A LOT more memorable than those of the first game and that's solely because of scope. In the first game you'd enter a room and move around some statues or press some switches. In this game you climb around a giant statue and move it around. Fundamentally they're the same kind of puzzles but they just feel grander.
Lastly another thing I don't entirely agree with is the story. Don't get me wrong, I think the videos idea that the story retraces a lot of threads from the first game and how the story falls apart if you start picking at it are true. I just feel like it doesn't really matter. Who cares if the story falls apart if you start picking at it, you can do that to some of the most influential and iconic movies of all time. As long as they serve their purpose and feel believable to the gameplay I think its fine. Another thing is just that I feel like the story in Uncharted 2 is just told way better. The beats are all punchier and cleaner. The cutscenes move fast and tell you exactly what you need to know in a more effective fashion then the first game did. Starting the story from half way in and jumping back is a bit of a cliché trope but it works REALLY well for Uncharted. Since a big point of the franchise is trying to get the player to feel like their playing a movie I feel. I just genuinely think the story is told in such a well paced and well directed fashion. That's why I feel like it surpasses the first game.
Also I agree that the final boss kinda bad but I think it should be given some credit since it's the only final boss in an Uncharted game that feels like a boss. With like an actual mechanic and gameplay and not a mini game or just a shoot out.
Excellent video though, I can't wait to see what your thoughts on Uncharted 3 are.
Thank you Amy Hennig for this masterpiece. It shows the power of linear story-driven games. Even though it's linear, it's so enjoyable that you can replay it over and over again. Ironically most open world that in theory are made to be replayed have 0 replayability because the vast world feels hollow and with less focus on the story they are not as memorable (Witcher 3 is the exception).
It's the perfect mix of action, story, set pieces, characters and pacing. I don't know if Uncharted 2 is the best game ever, but it couldn't be done any better.
I just got my hands on a PS4 and am playing through the series for the first time ever (played Uncharted 4 first on a friend's PS4 couple of years ago)
Frankly, the first Uncharted hasn't aged well at all for me, I can see how it would've been amazing back when it came out but in the present day, it felt tedious to get through and I had to push myself through it rather than feeling compelled to continue like the best games do.
Uncharted 2 on the other hand, has aged like the finest wine. I've spent hours in photo mode alone, the graphics, especially the art direction and the lighting are gorgeous even in 2022/23 and the train section had me so awe-struck I immediately came to RUclips and found this video, currently at Tenzin's village and I can see this video has some spoilers so I'll return once I finish the game but it's already an all time classic in my eyes, but not the first one, no offense to those who enjoyed it when it came out and continue to enjoy replaying it today, just...don't think I'll ever wanna replay that again.
thats funny I've never played them either and I just did the same I've had the Nathan drake collection since it came out and never played it, I just beat the first 2 in like four days now I'm gonna play the third tomorrow. the first was fun but by the zombie creatures I was like ok let's get this over with and play the 2nd...the 2nd started out kinda slow but once it picked up I was all in.
Uncharted will always hold a special place in my heart, one of the most iconic and influential video game series for sure
the way it starts with the hero gut-shot and sitting in a train hanging off a cliff, and you have to escape the train while injured, then you pass out in the snow, then it flashbacks a couple weeks and you play the game up until the moment the game starts with you shot on a train; is fuggin brilliant. That game hooked me so hard because that (style? pacing?) of story telling was just really innovative for a video game.
I just hear the sound track and it gives me chills down my spine
12:13 idk my guy, watching you play I can tell, at least from my perspective oc, that we played the game entirely differently. What I like about Uncharted is the verticality and mobility of the gameplay during fight pieces, in my opinion, that's what sets it apart from other TPS, you are constantly moving, shooting from the hip, grabbing other weapons, ambushing/punching enemies, using stealth jumping/climbing to the higher ground, etc, etc. I, at least, am constantly moving from cover to open areas and so on, I rarely use the aim button unless is an sniper rifle or something like that
So it's gears of war. It's literally gears of war. I dont see why I would pick uncharted to play gears of war. I would much rather get gears of war.
Like, what's the GAMEPLAY? Fake platforming and gears of war. That's all that I have noticed in uncharted franchise. I played uncharted 2 and 4, and I didn't enjoy either of them.
@@therandomguy2441 that's cute. You out are here trying to say gears of War is better than uncharted. That's laughable
@@Mbolf24 that's, true tho. Yes, gears of war is infact better than uncharted. It's laughable to say uncharted is a game. Uncharted series is an insult to gaming. Naughty dog has hurt gaming in a way that it still suffers even to this day and I will never forgive naughty dog for what it did to gaming.
@@Mbolf24 just think for a sec, what gameplay does uncharted have? Like i said, fake platforming and gears of war. Except that gears of war does cover shooting a lot better. Obviously i dont want fake platforming, and If i want cover based shooting i would get gears of war. So why would I buy uncharted?
Gears of war is literally better than uncharted, and that's saying something.
Uncharted 2 was my first game on ps3. I was 15 and really liked it. I think it's still great after so many years.
Uncharted 2 just has that unique vibe that the others can’t match. Great vid Aqua 🤙
11:52 Okay I am so glad that this was mentioned because this has been a pet peeve for the longest time with the early uncharted games and some shooters with bullet spread.
You pretty much summed it up when you said: “So many times I would take unnecessary damage due to my recital being right on an enemy and it just going borderline around them.” lol
Uncharted 2 was the first of the series I played and hoooollllyyyy crap I had never played anything like it up until that point.
Playing the train sequence for the first time is a moment that I'll always remember.
amazing game. thx for great timing in le review. big childhood flashback that made me remember how i stole my personality from this game and, after not playing in in years, i still make jokes from it without realizing. le best game in the series and le best reviewer ever. 10/10 say hi to the family for me
Hands down it will go down as the all times best games of all times. Especially the cinematics and graphics were something else definitely when Nate was hanging off the train. I really loved the puzzles as well the music too.
Uncharted 2 was such an underated game imo
I could not agree more
i had the pleasure to play through all 4 of the games, especially the first three one after another back in 2011.
and let me tell you, the best one in the series is definitely Uncharted 2, it had the most interesting story and personally its my favorite.
the first game was really nice, it had its many flaws which in some cases made it insanely difficult but in general for an early PS3 game it was pretty good.
and the 3rd game felt way too easy, the story just felt like a copy-paste of Uncharted 2 just with more filler chapters for no real reason honestly.
as for the 4th game, it honestly was on-par as the 2nd game for the most part, though the ending was actually pretty surprising (i didn't think they would fast-forward time in the ending THAT much but i'm not going to spoil it for you if you didn't play it yet).
i didn't really play the spin-off games (The Lost Legacy and Golden abyss), from what i know Golden Abyss is extremely generic and kind of dull but filled to the brim with the Vita's gimmicky controls for no reason, but The Lost Legacy is actually a pretty decent background story game for Chloe.
i do have both of them, but the only one i'd probably play someday would be The Lost Legacy, Golden Abyss sounds does not sound exciting enough for me for me to take my Vita out of its drawer again lol
Golden abyss was actually pretty good. The face touch controls were great. The rear touch controls, not so much. The coolest part was doing rubbings and stuff, where you were basically creating Nate's iconic notepad.
Other than that, it's a fairly standard Uncharted game. Would be great, if they did a remastered PS4/5 version of it(Like Ubisoft did For the Assassin's Creed Vita title)
I have a hard time choosing between uncharted 2 and 4 because I love them for very different reasons. I love uncharted 4 for it's more slower adventurous pace and mature storytelling. Uncharted 2 I love for being just a tightly wound replayable fun adventure that never gets old
That's EXACTLY how I feel
It's certainly still my favorite. I started a new playthrough a while back on Crushing difficulty, and it has been destroying me but it's been so much fun at the same time.
I just started this game a few days ago and I’m already almost done. It’s such an incredible game haven’t had this much fun since I played Mafia 2
15:30 This boss fight against Larzarvich actually kinda creeped me out cause he’s huge man!
You reviewed my childhood, seriously Thank You man :)
Childhood? Jeez I'm old but childen shouldnt be playing these games.
@@Carbabydoll you dont see blood or gore so its okay for a child to play this
Playing this game for the first was such a breath of fresh air
I'll put it like this. When I first played Metal Gear Solid on the ps1, to me it was the game that made me feel like games can be cinematic and felt like playing a movie. When I first played Uncharted 2, it made felt like I was playing a Blockbuster movie which no game made me felt that way till Uncharted 2. The Last Of US introduced character development done right in a video game with excellent pacing that made you fully invested in the characters let alone the story.
I've recently replayed the games for like the umpteenth time, video came in with perfect timing
I played all the uncharted games when they came out, I still can't believe uncharted 2 is 13 yrs old, I remember I always based my haircuts in highschool as Nathan's
In my case, Lazarovich was taken down by about 9 explosions of resin. Because, he actually vulnerable to bullets when he stunned by explosion. Just shoot when he stunned = less resin needs for explode.
"F*ck you guys, thank you!" Ah, I never felt so apreciated in my life.
Great video but don't blackout with all the work you're getting.
as far as those brute enemies go, they tank damage because you can't just shoot their arms, legs, or bodies. you're supposed to shoot off their helmets, which only takes a couple of bullets to the head, then you can finished them off with a headshot. its interesting that you even show a clip of one of their helmets getting shot off and didn't quite make that connection, considering you were headshotting most enemies in Drakes Fortune.
Uncharted is my favorite game series not named Zelda. I know its identity is Action, but I kinda wish they would experiment with some role-playing elements and be a bit heavier on puzzles.
seriously! I was thinking it was gonna be an adventure puzzle game and it was more of a shooter adventure. I think that's because mid-late 2000s shooter games were what was dominating the market. but yeah if they cut out half the gun fights and replaced that with more puzzles and traversing it would be even greater.
While it may not be the greatest game ever for others, for me, I never had more fun with any other game than I did with Uncharted 2. It’s the GOAT in my view. Thanks for the video, man.
Love this game but yeah that train level is absolutely astounding. Still hard to believe they made this in the early 2000s. I remember playing it for the first time and just being so into it and immersed. Uncharted 2 is really when the games started to feel like an epic journey that when you get to the end you feel exhausted and like you just did everything that Nate went through.
For the boss fight in the train sequence you can just shoot him, wait for him to rush you then punch him. If manage to dodge all his attacks and attacks in between you can beat the boss in like 30sec
26:15 That bunker part in Uncharted 1 creeped me out not gonna lie.
I played the uncharted games for the first time last year. I think they hold up well and 2 was definitely my favorite.
So i just recently replayed all of the games on brutal difficulty in anticipation for the movie (which bombed) but I remeber the final boss fight all too well 16:30 I was raging at how to defeat angry russian man, until i learned that if you hit a sap pod and stunned him you could unload a rifle magazine in his face and the entire boss fight ends in like 7 minutes
35:00 Shambala is never stated or implied to be underground, it is in an undiscovered valley. The entrance to it is underground. Still not a very good explanation, but an important distinction I guess.
FINALLY THE VIDEO IS HERE
I've been a gamer since the early eighties but the PS3 era might still be my favourite. Uncharted 2, Arkham Asylum, The Walking Dead (Telltale), Dead Space, The Last of Us, Modern Warfare, GTA V, Dirt 2, Puppeteer, Saboteur, Rayman Legends... the list is endless.
Damm, thanks for the upload man ❤️
Also, idk if i missed it, but are you covering Golden Abyss as well? I feel like that game is CRIMINALLY underrated to me-
If I can find a way to properly get footage of it then surely I will. Is there a solid port of it anywhere?

Man i dunno what u talking bout but every 3 months i replay all the games and uncharted 2 is still the best game, not only in this series but overall!
Just finished uncharted 2 today for about the 4th time. This game made me fall in love with the series as a 12 year old as it was the first game I ever played on the ps3. This and infamous.
I really enjoy your critiques. You express yourself amazingly. Keep up the good work
To me, Uncharted games are like Christopher Nolan films. I don't get tired of experiencing them over and over again.
Drake: *Escapes*
Flynn: *Vibrates*
games like this still prove that linear story driven games are better than openworlds
Openworld is Not always good
I can see why people find uncharted 2 the best uncharted game, but for me it was uncharted 4, the rope swinging and driving and man how beautiful the environment is, I always go back to that on mission where you save Sam in Madagascar because you have to drive rope swing and you get a beautiful view
amazing editing. God Tier Video as always Aqua, good luck at school
Still the best to this day!!!! If u went back to 2009 in my life you would see me an 8 year old boy playing this game, if I wasn’t with my friends outside or inside. If I wasn’t in school, if I didn’t have homework. I was playing this game. If I didn’t want to play Tomb raider underworld, pure, Lego Batman or little big planet I was playing this game. Nowadays it’s more so nostalgia and still a great time, but I sadly played it to death.
Nepal is one of my favorite game levels of all time!
I'm one of the unfortunate souls that beat this game on Crushing difficulty. Zoran Lazarevic was the bane of my fucking existence at the end there. That boss fight was like 45 minutes long for me because all I was doing was fighting for my life dodging grenades and praying I would hit him with one of the 24 explosions needed to kill him.
I unfortunately have shared the hell that is playing all the uncharted games on crushing and it took me hours to finish the fight it was horrific
Uncharted doesn’t even have anything close to a progression system and I still find it super addicting man. Cause you can shoot different types of cool guns.
Uncharted 2 coop missions and PvP were too much fun. Such great memories.
Uncharted 1-3 are literally the most played games I had on ps3 growing up and I plan on playing them again. I would wake up early in the morning to play them but Uncharted 4 is the only one I haven’t played yet. I heard it’s coming on pc soon so I can’t wait!!!
Uncharted 2 multiplayer is still one of my favorites. Was too busy for 3, 4 was cool too. Uncharted is actually probably one of the better multiplayers in all honesty, underrated for sure.
But multiplayer is already dead right?
Uncharted 2
Now that multiplayer was the good old days
@@SonGOKU-DA1MA You not lying. I played that so heavily all throughout high school. It was really underrated. People slept on this series.
@@natsukatt Uncharted 2 yes because it released back in 2009 on the PS3. I'm sure people still play Uncharted 4 though.
I gotta be honest, the graphics on the Uncharted games is so great already they didn’t even need to “remaster” them.
Even Uncharted 2's dynamic theme was badass. Just Nate, trudging through snow, FOREVER!
Very strange I just started replaying this game today from a random urge😂 great video as always
My biggest question and annoyance was how Flynn and Lazarevic kept showing up right behind us at very key moments when we find important information or a new entrance despite them not having the information. Literally 3 times it happens lol like wtf come on. Flynn spends 3 months in the jungles trying to figure out where to go. Drake comes along goes to the top of the mountain then the moment he gets what he needs all the sudden they all show up. Lol
I feel like story wise 3 and 4 are more spectacular and feel more like a movie,but the gameplay on 2 was incredible. Fight sequences were actually fun (and i played at last difficulty) and built so well
This was the game I got when I first got a ps3 for my birthday when I was in middle school. So many memories
Great video. Subbed. I love the franchise it means a lot to me its been a backdrop to jy life for a long time in meaningful moments and I empathize with the characters. This was my favorite and I suppose still is.
UC2 will always be one of my all time favs
when I was younger I never finished the second as I didn't understand how to run away from the tank in the city 🙃 I like the second a lot, but because I never finished it when I was younger I still have my heart wrapped around the third game
13:20 Greatest video game level ever made man! The environment change is fantastic man and the obstacles.
Most underrated thing about naughty dog is that they have some of the best high difficulty’s out there. I know most ppl play on easy nowadays but as someone who loves a good challenge i appreciate that so much. Naughty dog always slowly builds the challenge as the game goes on and it’s just so good. Checkpoints, enemy placements, enemy types, guns, ammo and level design are all superbly designed.
I can't play these games on hard, they just lose the flow cause of the difficulty😂
@@dustinakadustin Yeah everyone’s perfect difficulty is subjective. I think the perfect difficulty is when it almost or barely hurts the pacing of the game. Like if I get stuck once or twice in a game that’s fine. At the end of the day who cares if easy is challenging you and your having fun who cares what others think. I just really appreciate when a dev makes the highest difficulty feel fair rather than random. Like cod campaigns always have those parts where you just have to run and hope you make it through and try like 30 times until you get lucky. You would think uncharted with all its Nathan drake moments that they would be the worst games when it comes to that randomness but funny enough they are so balanced. I never feel like the devs overlooked a part and didn’t think about ppl in the hardest difficulty. Whenever I’m like how is drake gonna get out of this one there is always a rocket or something close by where as on lower difficulty’s I might overlook the rocket due to it being so easy I can do it with an ak. I think it’s a huge benefit of linear games that you can legitimately perfectly design encounters like that and NaughtyDog never fails to do just that. I haven’t played last of us 2s so idk how the open world parts are but besides that game all of their games have been almost perfect in terms of keeping the games fair.
@@jax6815 I found Last of Us 2 pretty fair, it's only got one or two "open world" segments and all the enemy encounters are in specific spots not roaming. I completely agree with everything you said.
Awesome game. I remember Playstation gave the collection away during covid but ive only just started playing again and beaten them all on crushing. Drakes fortune is easily the hardest on this mode. Great video
The fact that you can get the nathan drake collection for ps4 for less than 10 bucks, sometimes even for 5 bucks, is probably the best deal the world has ever seen
I agree with the bullet spread. I understand that at range a pistol probably won’t snipe a headshot but even when you showed it that’s not extremely far to be accurate with a pistol and you had the reticle directly on him multiple times. I’ve been in the same issue. It is highly annoying
i love when he says a simple right hook will be your end hahah lol
lazaravich in crushing was rage-inducing
Best game franchise ever
These mechanics issues made me mad. I enjoy playing Tomb Raider but Uncharted 1 - 2 give me only frustrations because I struggle against the controls more than against the enemies
Here I am, haven't started but I know your video will be better than the game itself 😂🤣😂🤣
UC2 and UC4 are my favs, love the series
“You’re going to miss this ass”-Chloe
Best part of the game.
My favorite game on PS3. Such fun multiplayer and trophy chasing. And really nice graphics
How convenient that I just finished it days ago and loved it
one of my favourite easter eggs is in the journal, where there a part called “The Many Faces of Victor Sullivan”
I used to run trough Uncharted like Rambo. Tried it again after years of PC gaming and my aim was horrible. Took me a couple of hours to get back to acceptable
i just played that game and all other parts a few weeks ago
love this game ♡ i replay uncharted 2 at least once every year it's been always my favorite
The train level … a trend setter I think Awesome level… both times you do it😉👍🏻
Biggest error in the game is the cut scene when drake is watching Lazaravich drink from the tree of life ,drake has a gun in his hand can shoot him before he drinks the resin but yet he waits until he's drank it and then tries to kill Lazaravich ....a huge plot hole.
34:55 The Shambala inhabitants used these fur suits probably to protect from the cold.
Uncharted 2 is still a classic, loved it
My first uncharted game. Played it at my dad’s phone fixing shop while he worked. Beat the whole thing after many times after school
IMO, the games just keep getting better. the biggest jump in quality is from the first game to the second, and a minor jump from the second to the third. I think the fourth stands out the best and arguably has the best story and gameplay as well. games 2 through 4 are all fantastic and worth playing
All of this was on the PS3. Back then it was the best looking game on console. Until God of War 3 and The Last of Us came out. The presentation, the execution, the dialogue, the action, the sets, the polish, the pacing was unmatched - all of it was top notch. And it still holds up because its entirety worked. The game had such a big impact on me, it was the spark that ignited a firey love for believable characters. Of course nowadays there are better games out there. And people who have played newer games first, will have a different opinion. That is fair. Uncharted 2 is still one of the best games ever made. The editing fits your naration. I am looking forward to part 3.
I enjoyed the video, paying homage to one of my favorite games of all time. However, one observation I made was that young people today are way more sensitive to difficulty in games than the older generations. I played since the 80s haha I'm old, anyway, but we never complained about difficulty in games. We either played over and over until we got better or didn't play it. But we didn't go out of our ways to complain about them. I remember I played UC2 when it first came out in the hardest difficulty and it was that bad. The last boss on the hardest difficulty can be a little annoying but far from really difficult.
