Description
Drawn in by the potential riches to be found but most inspired by the intrigue of the historical mystery Drake embarks on a quest to find the lost fleet. He soon realizes that Marco Polo was hiding a much bigger secret he had gone on a secret expedition on behalf of the emperor to find the mythical kingdom of Shambhala (otherwise known as Shangri-La) and to recover the legendary Cintamani Stone, the wish-fulfilling jewel of Buddhist mythology. The Stone is described by Marco Polo as a massive raw sapphire if it truly exists, it would be worth billions of dollars today.
This discovery sets Drake on a new course following Marco Polos 700-year-old trail through a diverse range of exotic environments to find out if the lost city of Shambhala, rumoured to lie deep in the Himalayas, really exists. This quest also pits him against a new, more formidable adversary who is after the same artefact a ruthless, rogue paramilitary leader with a private army and a relentless ambition to recover the stone for himself.
Using the Naughty Dog Engine 2.0 to blend together the art of cinema and gaming, the immersive action and storytelling is brought to life through technology only made possible on PLAYSTATION 3. Maximising the CELL processor as animation, physics, sound, and motion / audio capture combine together to enable gamers to become Nathan Drake and immerse themselves in his extraordinary story as they play.

Comments about Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (Playstation 3):
Naughty Dog has somehow taken many previously done gaming techniques and moulded it into something so fantastic and incredibly engaging. The controls feel easy enough to handle even during the most intense gunfights.
The gunplay mechanics this time are not only restricted to horizontal levels, but enemies need taken down from almost every corner of the environment. Kills can be taken by various approaches; either take your enemy down with a choice amount of weaponry, or the expanded stealth kill techniques.
Like its predecessor, the graphics are an absolute marvel to look at. The texture detail will have you literally staring at walls and objects around the breathtaking environments. Much work has been put into the engine to handle the buildup of enemies and texture detail in one screen.
While the game is at a medium length of 1-12 hours, the fun to obtain trophies will have you coming back for a challenge mode play-through and a treasure hunt. Online gaming was a first for Naughty Dog and they have created a complete online section that matches the intense gameplay of leading FPS online experiences.
There is an endless amount of good things to say about this game. It will truly stand out for many years to come and currently a great way to show off the power of the PS3.

One of the best games available on the PS3, excellent story and gameplay, with realistic facial expressions and the best environments. Once you finish the game the online mode will keep you playing for a long time!

Comments about Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (Playstation 3):
Absolutely stunning graphics. Great storyline that has you feel like watching a blockbuster movie while also playing a game. My only gripe would be that while you feel like you can go anywhere in the world of Unchartered, you're very limited in where you can go to actually progress in the game but everything else totally overshadows this minor gameplay flaw. Well done Naughty Dog.

Comments about Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (Playstation 3):
Absolutely breathtaking single player campaign with an engaging storyline, fantastic voice acting, brilliant graphics and some unbelievable set-piece battles.
Multiplayer adds even more replay value with an online level-up system similar to that of CoD: Modern Warfare/2 (ie. levels, gaining experience with each match, unlocking new abilities), but less in-depth. However, there are a good number of different game modes (CTF, Deathmatch, Domination, Co-Op mission & Co-Op survival - and possibly one or two more) which give the multiplayer great breadth.
In short, a brilliant single player campaign that will have you replaying the game at least once - backed up by a solid multiplayer experience. Definitely a game to add to the collection.

Comments about Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (Playstation 3):
2 Years after developers Naughty Dog debuted the lovable treasure hunter Nathan Drake in the amazing but flawed Uncharted 1, they are at it again with Uncharted 2: Among Thieves and improves upon the first game in every single way.
The graphics are the absolute best of this current generation as of this review. You will literally not see a more beautiful game; both on an artistic and technical level. The facial animations are top notch, and really avoid the uncanny valley.
The gameplay has been considerably improved. Gunplay mechanics are much more solid, melee combat now makes sense. Added in are unique instant-kill stealth attacks that you'll always try and pull off.
The voice work and motion capture of this game really bridge the gap between what a video games and movies. They are some of the most fully realised, life-like characters you will ever play.
The single player is an absolute blast, ranging from about 8 to 12 hours. With added multiplayer that's insanely fun, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is one of the best games of this generation.

Comments about Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (Playstation 3):
So this is simply one of the best, if not THE best, PS3 game on the market. It is just really fun, with a compelling story line, incredible graphics and the best multiplayer gameplay out there...
The game plays at about 11 hours and there is plenty of reason to go back for more; especially if your a trophy hunter...
One negative aspect is that the game doesnt leave an incredible amount up to the imagination with a stealth system that lacks the final touch and gameplay that can get a tad easy (but then there is always the hardest gameplay mode which gets very hard even if you are a hardcore gamer...)
I definately recomend Uncharted 2 for anyone with a PS3!

Comments about Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (Playstation 3):
If you start playing this game, you will not stop before it ends. The story is nice and a lot of funny things are in it. If you get stuck, the game provides you with a possibility to give hints. When you don't want hints, you can easily ignore it.
