"By the end of Uncharted 2 though, Drake has found his place in the world, and so has the developer - among giants." BTW, an open multiplayer beta of Uncharted 2 is now available for download on the PSN!

Here's another opinion:

After a scorching first five or six hours, the game travels to the Himalayas and the action cools right along with the setting. The stunning set pieces of the first half are replaced by more conventional gun battles, and the engrossing character moments are supplanted by stilted, forced standoffs you've seen in every action movie. Don't misunderstand, there are still some really enjoyable sequences in the second half of the game, but (save for one or two) they're all pedestrian by comparison to the first half. In fact, I don't think I would have had a single complaint, had I not just scaled the heights that Naughty Dog can achieve when bringing its A-game. The experience is in no way spoiled, Uncharted 2 is still an absolute "must-buy" for even the most casual action fan. The plodding in the second half is enough to notch down the game from "genre re-defining milestone" to "insanely great action game," but honestly, how can you be disappointed by that? ... Okay, so it's a little disappointing. But just a little.

Ofcourse this sorta thing happens to alot of games. Even RE4 lost some narrative flare for the second half though that game was 24+ hours long. The HD-effect seems to hit this game as well as it's only ~10 hours long.

That has been my problem with the 'HD era' of gaming. Ofcourse I beat Ultima 4 and Final Fanstasy 7...almost twice. Regardless, World of Warcraft continues to occupy my time.
