Uncharted 2
Ive got this on pre-order but downloaded the Multiplayer trial from PSN last week. A bit strange playing 3rd person online but is quite playable so far. I do struggle with the close up combat though it must be said.
Anyone else playing it? Must admit the load time / game creation takes ages sometimes even when its telling me there are 16,000+ players online. Hopefully they can improve that before release. But Im buying it for the single player anyway and wont have much time left online before MW2 is out and takes over.

Yep, I've pre-ordered too. Had a few goes on the multiplayer trial, great fun, especially with snipers and shotguns. I also have trouble melee'ing 
The shotgun is handy when face to face with an enemy.
Works really well and I think will be even more fun than Gears Of War online

Is the first one any good?
I've got it but never played it. I'm currently working though Mirrors Edge on my PS3 but have got a bit fed up with falling off sky scrapers

The first wasn;t a bad game, but not great in my opinion. The "puzzles" were far too easy, and the game was too short. Having said that, it was probably worth a tenner
I've pre-ordered the sequel, but doubt I'll be doing the online stuff if it's similar to the demo. Not managed to get the demo to work and connect me to a game yet.

I played a bit more last night and got to Lvl14. It was only then I realised you could zoom in the sniper rifle with R3 button lol.
The only let down so far (other than my ability to play TPS multiplayer that well) is the connection speed. Sometimes it connects and finds players ok. Other times it just sits there doing nothing. Sometimes backing out and starting again works but rather annoying when all you want to do is jump on and play against a few of the 16,000 people its telling me are already online playing grrrrrrrrrr.
Thats the major downfall of the PS3 - the online play. For some games it works fine - others its too slow.

Aaargh have uninstalled the demo in frustration. Was already annoying waiting for a game to connect but then I started connecting but no kills registering and then getting disconnected. Tried several times so deleted and reinstalled demo. Seemed to work but then waiting forever to join an online game even when it says there are 9k players online currently. Super buggy and Im hoping this is just the beta version and will be sorted for this fridays release but doubt it. Anyway I only pre-ordered for the single player side of things although must admit started to like the multiplayer once Id ranked up a bit.

Saw it in the shops today, loved the first one and I was sorely tempted, looking forward to some reviews, the local store is doing it for free if you trade in any 3 PS3 games, bye bye GT5PL, Motorstorm and Resistance of man lol

Well played it for about 2 hours so far and I really like it, just like the first and feels like you're part of a film, nice gfx, like the new stealthy approaches too. So far just got past the Borneo part and headed into the street fighting in Nepal

Likewise It's great, very polished and some superb improvements from the already excellent first game. I like that they've dropped the six axis use, made hand to hand combat flow better, introduced corner transitions and new stealth kills. Very much like being in a movie and hard to put down

I've only played one deathmatch so far, but it connected pretty quick, under a minute and everything was perfectly smooth.
If you have a completed Uncharted Drakes Fortune save, then you get $100,000 to spend in the upgrade shop too You can buy boosters, co-op ehnancements, player skins and taunts (well, when you reach the appropriate level).

Sweet gfx though and loving it.

Cheers Dunk. Will check it out tonight. Played single player a bit last night and got to Borneo. I forgot why I liked the orignal so much - as well as decent gfx you get imersed in the role with the quality of the ingame footage. The gfx in this version are excellent.
Had same problem with multiplayer but farted around with my router disabling and re-enabling firewall and it works like a charm now (touch wood). Had a few games before work today and managed to rank up to Lvl6 but some are already on Lvl 30 lol. Gameplay is smooth as silk online which is good as most games I played had 3-4 yanks on.

Up to the tunnels on the train now in the lead up to the train wreck from the start of the game!
The more I play the more I can't put it down, the tension is cool, cut scenes ace, sound is awesome and it feels even more like I'm playing a movie

After getting to Urban Warfare, I decided to start the game again on Hard as it seemed to be moving a little too quicky and I didn't want it to end Just on Chapter 13 too - on the train. Brilliant so far!

Ive not had much time to play it so on about 44% level 11 I think. Although have bee mixing it with online play. Was playing co-op with a mate last night which is pretty sweet. He had some baddie on his back and I took them (baddie) out with a super shot on the sniper rifle. Still only managed to get to lvl 15 ranking of 60 tho lol.
Also still get some significant delays joining online matches. Sometimes works fine others it just sits there doing nowt.

I managed to complete it last fri in about 12hrs total. Lost a load of time in the ice cave after the rock fall as initially couldnt get on the rock ledge so spent ages looking elsewhere like a tit lol.
Did it even go to Lvl 32? Cant remember but didnt seem that high. Final fight was a bit poor/repetitive but enjoyed the game.
Multiplayer still sucking for me. Sometimes fine other times just cant play. Think at rank 18 only lol. May just ditch it and redo single player on crushing to keep me entertained til MW2 in two weeks. Esp as bought the unlimited ammo and single shot kill perks
Treasure count was appalling lol - 23 think I found and no relic.
