This may get tiring for some, and I'll admit at times a slower paced game would've been welcome. It provides thrills incessantly, verging on numbingly, but encapsulated in such a tightly knit, short spurt of a game that there's no time to lose feeling. This isn't high art (as if high art is perfect), but it is certainly better than the average popcorn fare. Well Drake ain't no Bruce, but he's good nonetheless just serious enough that it's not a turn-off (like an afternoon Syfy channel movie), just self-deprecating enough to make it clear the game is aware of its limits. Lines of dialogue delivered with such irony it's clear the cast is winking at us and a plot so global, not to mention desperately dependent upon classic Hollywood gender roles, the player's laughing at its desire to impress (if only Bruce Campbell, star of the Evil Dead series, could travel the world in search of lost treasure, providing one-liners as only he can) is inevitable. It swims in its own inanity, self-reflexive beyond belief, and voice-acted so well I couldn't help but keep listening, and considering how good it looks, I couldn't stop watching either.Īlas, we have what sounds like a B-movie (which is not to say that B-movies are not capable of evoking thoughtful insights) on our hands. Nevertheless, something about Uncharted 2 grabs hold and won't let go. Predictability has never been so embraced (exaggeration but…).
The big bad guy Lazarevic is after immortality, and something creepy at the end of the trail awaits. Cajoled into a treasure hunt involving the rumored Cintimanni stone, double and triple crossing abounds. of Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, he was the king of big breasted women films in the 70s) movie, it's as if John Woo and Looney Tunes had a baby and named it Drake. Cliché-ridden, character development akin to that of a Russ Meyer (dir.

Take National Treasure, The Mummy, and Indiana Jones and the bare bones plot full of cheeky emotion involving Drake, Elena, and Sully from the first installment, along with a new cast of friends and enemies, and Uncharted 2 is summed up quite succinctly. While certain stories necessarily present themselves with the intent of moving their audiences, making you think of questioning ideologies, or of repelling you to the point that knowledge is somehow gained in the process, Uncharted 2 is mindless. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is schlock without doubt, but it may be the best schlock ever. There is no denying the existence of games with sophisticated storylines, scripts, characters, etc ( Mass Effect, BioShock, the Metal Gear series, certain early RPGs for example) no denying the existence of games that truly define themselves as games, but these are few and far between in comparison to the amount of schlock (not meant in a degrading way) that is released. WTF There is absolutely no need to figure out what to do on your own, eventually the game will tell you. HIGH Watching Uncharted the movie, I mean game, unfold. Can a Video Game be a B-Movie, and Does this Present any Problems?
