Uncharted 2 : Among Thieves

Nathan Drake has returned and hungry for more action, drama, treasures and more women... Developers Naughty Dog has more tricks up there paws and brewed up a new and yet, more improved sequel.

The story starts off where Nathan met some old friends telling the missing story of Marco Polo’s lost treasure. Its up to Nathan Drake to solve the mysteries of the so called longs lost valley of Shangri La. The story itself twists and turns throughout the course of the game, as you might expect, and for the most part it's a solid tale. Nate and his pals go through a lot, so it does a good job of reeling you in and keeping you hooked until the end

First of all, Developer Naughty Dog has claimed the new Uncharted has pushed its limits of the PlayStation 3 raw processing power. A pretty bold claim for a first party developer for Sony, but after lushing out its enormous and beautiful vistas, Naughty Dog really hit’s the jack pot. From the crumbling city of India, the cold blistering cold tundra of Tibet, to the ever bushy green jungle. It’s just amazing to look and has more details in every level. Overall its has the most prettiest graphics to date.



In the game play department, overall it has most of the same technique as the previous processor, Then again why fix it when its not broken. Other new a features like more weapons to choose from and more treasure to collect. A Staggering 100 treasures at different locations, and most of them are really hard to find, I manage to find around 34 treasures on my first try. Yup I wasn’t trying hard enough. Trophy whores would have to find ways to get those freaking platinum trophy somehow. One skepticism s was made before that Uncharted has Online multiplayer, where players around the world pit against each other like capturing the flag. In this case you capture a treasure instead. There’s always a reason or two to play it back some more.

The story in Uncharted is always epic. The bigger the better has always made this game so great, leaving you feeling its more like a movie than an actual game. From the history of Marco Polo’s adventure, the love triangle between Nate, Ellena and the new hotter girl Chloe, to over-the-top action sequence. Nate’s wisecrack jokes has always been adamant him as one of the best game character in gaming history.

If you own a PlayStation 3 and haven’t picked up a copy of Uncharted 2 : Amongst Thieves, you definitely don’t know what you are missing. Uncharted 2 has already been nominated to the best game in 2009. Naughty Dog has set its benchmark of excellent games making. This truly is the best sequel ever made. A 5 out of 5.
