Story In Uncharted 2: Amongst Thieves fortune hunter Nathan Drake embarks on a journey that will push him to his physical, emotional and intellectual limits to discover the real truth behind the lost fleet of Marco Polo and the legendary Himalayan valley of Shambhala, more commonly known in the west as Shangri-La. In 1292 Marco Polo departed the court of Kublai Khan in China with 14 ships filled with over 600 passengers and crew. Eighteen months later only one ship remained and 18 passengers survived. Marco Polo never revealed what happened to these lost ships. Embarking on a quest to find the lost fleet, fortune hunter Nathan Drake soon realizes Marco Polo was hiding a much bigger secret - he had gone on a secret expedition to find the mythical kingdom of Shambhala and to recover the legendary Cintamani Stone, the "Wish-fulfilling jewel" of Buddhist mythology. With this new information Drake settles on a new course, following Marco Polo's trail through a diverse range of exotic environments. This quest also pits him against a new, more formidable adversary - a ruthless, rogue paramilitary leader with a private army and a relentless ambition to recover the stone for himself. Gameplay Although gameplay in Among Thieves is similar to that of the previous game, there are several major differences. The most important of these is the addition of several online multiplayer options. Unfortunately, no offline multiplayer could be included in the game due to the impact local split-screening has on the game's graphical quality. Thankfully though, the online modes included cover both co-op and competitive play. See the feature list below for details on these. In addition to play modes players can also expect a wealth of new gameplay features including a new stealth gameplay mechanic and altered climbing mechanic--both of which are extended to the AI of enemies; the ability to create cover by flipping over certain found items; the use of riot shields for defense and offense; and a complete lack of loading screens.

I've been a gamer since the Atari 2600 by David Ho (San Mateo, CA USA)

5 Stars

Played games on the beloved C64, and Amiga. Moved up to PC's, and finally after all these years, a console. I used to think games on consoles were inferior to PC gaming, but after Uncharted 2, that assessment has changed. Uncharted 2 is one of the highlights in my gaming experience. Probably one of the best games I've ever played. It was like being in a movie. The graphics, storyline, cut scenes, out takes, scenes and sets were just out of this world. It was one of the most amazing experiences I've ever had on a gaming platform. After some let downs with over hyped titles on the PS3 like Killzone, I am happy to say I'm a very happy owner of the PS3. Uncharted 2's only downside was it had an ending.

A casual gamer's 10 hours of gameplay by drywater2k (Adelphi, MD)

I gotta say that the hype surrounding this game was incredible. And obviously, IMO, it did not measure up to the gameplay. Pros: +Great graphics +Intricate story with lots of twists and turns with great voice acting +Cool puzzles +Online gameplay is a nice add-on to the game Cons: -Awkward controls as a shooter -Game is too short (I beat it in less than 10 hours on medium difficulty) -Does not compare in story with other games such as Bioshock and Halo. -Too many cut scenes, they concentrated on making this game as a movie instead of creating a good plot and great gameplay Overall it was just decent to play through. I did not bother collecting all the side treasures, and just played as a casual gamer. When I got tired of the controls in the first few hours, I just wanted to finish the game. This game is definitely a rent, not a buy. 6/10

November 18, 2009
There are enough reviews out there to tell you how simply great this game is. They arn't lying. I was expecting a enjoyable game that would keep my attention. It blew my expectations out of the water. This game looks absolutely beautiful!!!! I haven't been this WOW'd since MGS4. LOVE IT!!!!! On top of looking good it just felt so right and worked so fluidly. All the animations work together surprisingly well. Get this game if you haven't yet. Oh yeah and the multiplayer is an amazing addition to the second game that will have me keeping this one for a while.
