The multi-player demo of Uncharted 2 gives the possibility to swap the left with the right stick. You can also swap L1 with R1 and L2 with R2.

Unfortunately full customization is not available - I would have liked to swap for example the jump button. But at least Uncharted 2 does improve from the first edition, which had basically no possibilities to adapt the controls, though the Legacy and Legacy-Southpaw schemes have been left out again.

I’m definitely looking forward to this game coming out on October 13 in the USA and October 16 in Europe.

    This game feels ok with southpaw. way better than KZ2 feels IMO. i still prefer CoD4 for the best southpaw experience IMO.

    The reviewers seem to be quite in favor of this game. It has a metacritic score of 97.

    Testing the real game I must say that the southpaw mode is not so usable. If you want to jump, you must release the right stick but then you cannot climb any obstacles :(
    I wonder if they did any testing on the control options?

    The game itself is wonderful, quite stunning graphics.

    I just tried the game and i agree with soulwarrior. I’m a little more adjusted to the controls, but the platforming elements are definitely more difficult with southpaw on. Since Uncharted combines elements of “gears of war” with “tomb raider,” control schemes are more complex and alternative controls need to be addressed. At the same time, it’s going to be hard to make perfect controls when you genre-mash like this.
