We know Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is incredible, and no doubt you do too. But what do Naughty Dog's peers think?

Fellow PS3-exclusive developer Insomniac Games, the US studio behind the Resistance and Ratchet & Clank series, has spoken to VideoGamer.com at length on the game, revealing what it really thinks about Naughty Dog's effort.

"It's stunning," said Insomniac senior community manager James Stevenson.

"It seems to have an incredible sense of storytelling and adventure. The way the game looks is amazing. The density of the environments and the props and the interactions you can have with those items, from a game development perspective, is just absolutely mind-blowing."

So impressed is Insomniac with Uncharted 2, that it wants to swap PS3 development notes with Naughty Dog.

"I'm glad we're friends with those guys, so we can find out how they did it!," Stevenson said. "I'm happy for them. They deserve all the success in the world. The first game was a victim of the PS3's installed base at the time. It did well but it could have reached a much larger audience. This one's getting an audience it deserves."

So there you have it. It's not just critics who are falling over themselves to praise Uncharted 2. It's game developers, too. In this case, however, the love between the two studios isn't surprising. Both work on Sony-owned IP and are based in California, USA.

U2 is the best game I have played this gen so far. I honestly don't think MW2 can touch it. MW2 is going to be great... but it's a rewashed formula with a new scent.

i got a feeling insomniac are gonna do something really big.

first they say resistance 2 wasnt as good as it could have been.
then they say graphics are more important then 60fps
now their taking tips from the developer of the best game in history, uncharted 2.

really looking forward to resistance 3.

I like u2 but I see this as a u1.5 as after chp18 the story really for me let it down . Its like nd got through 60% of game and just rehashed the 1st one. Don't get me wrong a good strong title but more uncharted if they had 4 yrs development .Gr8 game but for me lacked story originality

no no no.. UNcharted 2 is a epic masterpiece game, but you can't compare that to Modern Warfare 2. it's two different beast.

I'd have loved it if they had said, "Uncharted 2? Aye it's alright."

Uncharted 2 is a gem in the gaming industry, no doubt. God Of War 3 and Gran Turismo 5 are really gonna struggle to top Naughty Dog's masterpiece.
