alright if u have a ps3 and dont have the beta, get it now before its too late. its only a taste of whats to come but is very nice taste! heres why...

Visuals: Probably the best i've ever seen, and thats really saying something considering i played killzone 2 and the original Uncharted. body movement is second to none and the environment is astounding. in the ice cave level your character is covered in snow and their feet sinks in the deep snow. explosions this time round are a lot better. instead of a sphere of orange stuff thats meant to look like an explosion (like uncharted 1) the blast is more realistic, causes the screen to shake and if your characters close enough, they'll wince or shield themselves with their arms. one gripe i do have with the visuals tho is that when u shoot a grenade launcher the propellant ooks like white fire (thats the only way i can describe it :P) it wouldnt be a big problem in other games but it sticks out in a game with visuals like uncharted 2, even if it was only a beta.

Controls: Although i missed being able to aim a grenade with the motion sensor controller (maybe i can change it?) the controls have overall been improved since the orignal uncharted game. if u have a rifle with a scope you can use the scope but dont neccessarily have to, which is a nice option to have. moving from cover to cover has been introduced and is really useful if u need to move out of the way of a friendly or vice versa.

The actual online: In a word; great. there are many game modes to choose from and although its only 5on5, its intense as hell with plenty of cover to use. you can either be a villain or hero and you can ear money and buy upgrades and other characters with it. oh and if youfeel like reminiscing withyour achievements (or failures) you can watch a replay of your previous matches.the only thing i'll complain about is the servers. sometimes it'll take a long time to find a match but at least its lag free. as well as that u can have your own match on your own and you go around and memorise the maps, thus giving u and advantage.

Overall this is shaping up to be a great multiplayer section to an already great single player campaign. if you miss the beta, you owe it to yourself to buy the full game when it comes out.
