Uncharted 2 Public Beta: First Impressions
Anyone who’s anyone will know that the Uncharted 2: Among Thieves multiplayer public beta began today (or yesterday, given it is now the early hours of Wednesday morning). We were lucky enough to get our hands on some much sought-after participation codes and, a few tens of Deathmatch, Co-op, Plunder and Gold Rush matches later, our verdict is this: Naughty Dog’s upcoming title is every bit as brilliant as media has suggested.
Put simply, it’s fantastic fun. Whether your combat preference is stealth, tactical, camping, or run-and-gun, Uncharted 2’s gameplay caters for all. Moving through the shadows towards an unsuspecting enemy before incapacitating him with a pump-action shotgun was just as gratifying as spraying the opposition outright with erratic AK47 fire and swiping their loot. Both incidents were tremendously enjoyable, in fact.
I’m not going to venture into much more detail; that pleasure is Gamoc’s whom, like me, has spent countless hours immersing himself in what I would describe as gorgeous, lag-less, gun-wielding splendour. But I will say that, as a newcomer to Uncharted, I will definitely be adding Drake’s newest adventure to my PS3 game collection - for its multiplayer element alone.

I also found it excellent fun — good looking too — the Plaza level in particular has excellent lighting. I got my ass handed to me a number of times, depressingly I was even the worst scorer in one round, which hasnt happened to me in a long time, I’d forgotten how humiliating it is!
However, for those of you thinking of game-sharing the beta, it’ll do the 24hour lockout thing, so dont game share it unless you want to wait a full day AFTER they last play it, before playing it again…yes..I learnt this from experience yesterday!
@ Captain:
Ditto. The first few games I was abysmal, but within half an hour I had a handle on things. Awesome game.
I sucked terribly for my first game as I could not remember the controls. Damn thing. After that I was pretty good. In coop, however, I got more points than the others – twice. Good stuff.
The guy at my local Ebgames GAVE away the last code to some random, THO IT WAS SPOSE TO BE MINE!!!!!
