I've had it since before it came out, and I've been on the final boss for ages. I'm playing on Hard. People seem to tell me about different ledges, but they never work for me.

Naughty Dog have actually managed to improve on the original, & create a sequel even more stunning.

Graphics, sound, gameplay, action, puzzles, story, script, characters, voice acting... everything is bloody brilliant.

There were some points when I got rather frustrated (especially the final boss, who I hated), but even so, the game is just simply amazing.

I need to try the multiplayer now, as I've only played solo so far.

I'll second that Matt. Even the prescripted action parts were very enjoyable. I've not played a game with such variety in a long while.

Without spoiling anything for other in the thread I'd have to say the train part and the jeeps part were stunning and made you feel like you were really in the game. Very, Very well done to Naughty dog. They truly are the legends of PS3 for me. Cant wait for Uncharted 3 lol. I wounder what the DLC will be ? More co-op missions maybe ? I know theres some free and some paid for. Looking forward to that which is out before christmas :)

I beat the boss first time didnt think he was to hard. I'll PM you what I did just to keep any spoilers out of the thread for others that may not be so far.

The ledge method: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbfpv8n8h68

Makes it much, much easier.

I got up to him late last night, & after dying many, many times I dropped the difficulty to "Easy" & managed to kill him the standard way.

This morning, I re-loaded from before I dropped the difficulty, & killed him first time using the "ledge method" in the video.

OK, it's a bit cheeky, but he annoyed me.

Although some other bits frustrated me, it was generally 'cos I didn't initially notice a ledge or something I could jump to, or 'cos I didn't use cover enough in a firefight, that kind of thing. So although I died, or briefly got stuck, it tended to be my own fault & I did it eventually.

e.g.

The later

So many awesome shootouts, so many cool set-piece action sections, such stunning scenery & everything... Masterpiece :)

Didn't realise there was going to be DLC. Cool :)

( cancel that just seen it in your sig!!)

@icestar; yeah that's the way I keep trying to do it. He keeps killing me though.

@Matt; thanks, I'll have to try that method when I next go on it.

Just completed it on Hard using that method Matt posted a link to. Loved that last cut scene. Now to complete U1 on Crushing and get Platinum before I try and go Platinum on this game.

Feel free to add my PSN ID guys, if you don't already have it: Mister_Tez

Be good to have some multiplayer games of this.

Currently playing it on Crushing, certainly easier than Uncharted 1.

Seems Uncharted 2 is getting an update

title would receive an update which addresses a number of multiplayer issues today. On top of that, anyone who plays the game online during this Halloween weekend will receive a treat infinitely more sweet than a fistful of Necco Wafers:

Sweet. I look forward to hopefully killing some Devs :)

yeah , downloaded the update last night , particually happy with the penalties for quitting , too many people were leaving when they were losing, however this has not gone down at all well with the quitters , there going mad on the US forum :).

The problem with the penelties is that some people have trouble staying connected sometimes depending on their ISP connection. I've lost connection to a game 2-3 times on Uncharted 2. Should I be penalised for that ? No, I do overall think its a good idea though to stop people quitting because they are poor losers.

I saw that on DS earlier. I think this should of got Action Game of the Year, too. MW2 isn't worth the disc it's copied onto.
