Everyone and their dogs are talking about how good this game is and the uncharacteristic manner of how I played the game should give you an impression of my feelings on the matter. So in typical fashion I will only mention a few key points.
1. The box has advertisements all over it for how much better this game is than you. "25 perfect reviews", "...A Masterpiece", "The best thing you can put your fingers on without going to jail" quotes adorn the box. Fuck you. We all have heard about how good you are and before you add "Best game ever made" and "Approved by Obama" pause and ask yourself this. Should we be classy and keep our box art clean as if to say "we know we made something good" or continue your current course of action and replace all art with text that reads over and over "buy this shit".
2. All guards whistle. Seriously, is that on the job description? Must be easily distracted, mostly blind, deaf, dumb and know how to whistle. 401K and health insurance available to all full time employees.
3. Why is green beard stubble becoming a trend among thieves... I mean... among next gen games? Shave or grow hair that is the color of the rest of your hair.
4. Thanks Naughty Dog for making sure all the character's eyes have been replaced with glass marbles. This made sure I was constantly pulled out of the immersion every time a cut-scene started.
5. Nothing is more annoying than when a video game character says what you just said or what you were thinking. Oh wait, that is fucking awesome... and it happened over a dozen times!
6. NAZIS! I am sick of your shit!
This game is fantastic, amazing and should be purchased as soon as possible. If you don't own a PS3, then sell all possessions non-essential to a healthy existence and buy a PS3 and this game. NOW
I give Uncharted 2: Among Thieves at 360 out of 360 red ringed Xboxes.
Total game time - Around 12 hours
And for those of you who disliked the first game, forget all that and go play the sequel.

The same can be said about Assassin's Creed 2. I find it funny how movie sequels take a fucking dive most of the time and have less viewers usually but instead games seem to strive once they become a franchise. At least most are smart enough to stop at a trilogy or at least bring new things to the table. Unlike Tomb Raider that is banking on boobs and short shorts every game.
I will have to give AC2 a shot then. And you are soooo right about Tomb Raider. Imagine if Eidos could have made a product anywhere near as good as uncharted, they probably wouldn't be owned by SquareEnix right now.
