You climb, enjoy quippy dialogue, luxuriate in exotic locations, hunt treasures, shoot goons, and fall in love with the pretty graphics and prettier people. Uncharted is, and will be for a generation of players, one of the best series in video gaming. Let's get it right though, as beyond its status as a savior, Drake's second adventure is superb and in some ways defies description.
