I must be one of the rare people who don't get all the praise this series gets. I bought Uncharted 2 after reading a bunch of reviews, all positive ones. And the experience was... ...meh. I finished the game because I bought it, not because I was having a lot of fun with it. It's just a Tomb Raider with pretty graphics, subpar music, over-the-top / un-believable action, and without the wow factor I felt when I played Tomb Raider 1 on the PSX (the only Tomb Raider I really liked).
I recently tried to play U2 again, but I got bored trying to cross the friggin' sewers in the beginning, and switched the PS3 off. Game felt like a chore.
