We’re less than a month out from the launch of UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves and we’re starting to see reviews come in. We just received the November issue of PlayStation: The Official Magazine in the studio which has the first world review of UNCHARTED 2. Subscribers should have this issue in the mail any time now and, if you don’t have a subscription, you can pick up a copy from newsstands in the next couple of weeks.
Cracking open the issue, which features UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves as its cover, we were totally thrilled to see that our game received a perfect 5/5 AND the Editors’ Choice award for the month! We’ve been working incredibly hard over the past two years to make UNCHARTED 2 the best game we’ve made yet and we’re all smiles to hear that we’re not the only ones who think we’ve got something really great on our hands.
You’ll have to pick up your own copy to read the ten full pages of UNCHARTED 2 details, but in the meantime here’s an image of the cover to serve as a preview:
I’m pretty sure just reading reviews of our game won’t be enough to hold you over until we launch on October 13, so be sure to check out our Multiplayer Demo. If you pre-ordered UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves through GameStop, then your early access to the demo starts tomorrow and runs up until just prior to the launch of our game. If you haven’t pre-ordered, the Multiplayer Demo opens up to everyone via a PlayStation Network download on September 29.
We’ll be back on the PlayStation.Blog tomorrow with more details about the multiplayer demo and an associated contest you’ll definitely want to know about!
For those claiming just because it’s a PS magazine, did you guys all forget they gave Lair a 5/10, Haze a 5/10, and even Resistance 2 an 8/10?
And judging by the previews, beta, and the first game, come on a 5/5 is a no brainer!
This is the first of many 5/5’s coming I bet. But it will be WELL DESERVED. Naughty Dog and Sony have really gave us an amazing game and I cant wait to get my hands on it Oct 13th
I think everyone seen this coming. This game is packed with features, the beta was amazing, and the first one was incredible. I can’t wait to play this game.
i cant wait to receive it. Im a proud subscriber since 2-3 years!
NAUGHTY SCORE!!! xD
Can i ask a thing?
Is anything about the special edition reserved to Europe?
Game of the Eternity.
If this game doesnt get the highest score then i dont know what will.
I got into the previous beta thanks to the cintamani contest on this here blog ;] and it was amazing. Cant wait to see more about the collectors edition contest and especially this game.
So now whos ready for some MP tonight? >:]
“Forget game of the year. This is one of the best games of all time.”
I agree 100%
Awesome!! so we get are code in the email right? lol
This is my most anticipated game of the year. I can’t wait to own it! I played the first beta demo online over and over and I can’t wait to play the new online demo tomorrow.
Has there/will there be any issues with Uncharted 2 and firmware 3.0?
Naughty Dog, get some DLC ready now because tons of fans will be begging for more.
Sony,
If firmware update 3.0 ends up causing any problems with Uncharted 2, especially freezing and crashing like it is with the first Uncharted. I’m positive you will have many, many angry fans and customers.
Please don’t allow a firmware update to ruin any fans/customers experience with Uncharted 2.
Cant wait for this game to come out >.<
Second good review so far. Some EU reviewer gave it a 21/20. Now, either they have some bizarre rating scale or (as I expect) Uncharted 2 is really a game worthy of a 105%!
P.S. If I pre-order the game from Gamestop RIGHT NOW, will I still be sent an early-beta access code?
Also, I don’t understand why everyone is afraid of Uncharted 2 being effected by Firmware 3.00. Uncharted 1 and 2 are two completely different games (besides being of the same franchise). You people really don’t believe ND outfitted the game for the update? Might I remind you that UC1 was released in 2007. This is 2009 folks. Something was bound to happen with a 2-year-old game.
Suggestion!
I’d like to see some kind of combo subscription between this magazine and Qore.
Congratulations Naughty Dog! The game looks like it deserves the rating. Can’t wait to play the demo once again. Thanks for the tease that was the Beta.
Thanks everyone! We\’re really proud to see our game recognized like this. We can\’t wait to hear what you all think about it when Oct 13 comes around.
