UPC: 711719825722
SynopsisCaught up once before in the treacherous world of thieves and mercenary treasure-seekers, fortune hunter Nathan Drake vowed it would never happen again. But when Drake finds himself running a bit low on luck, the lure of that world proves too tantalizing to resist. Drawn like a moth to a flame to the tale of the lost fleet of Marco Polo, Drake sets off on an expedition to find the valley of Shambhala. But he's about to encounter some very real danger amidst the legend. Winner of more than 50 Game of the Year awards, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves plunges you into a shadowy and dangerous world filled with mercenaries and criminals. To commemorate the success of this epic adventure, this Game of the Year Edition delivers incredible bonus content, from extra skins, maps and avatars to motion comics and even an extra game mode as you embark on a perilous journey into the Himalayan Mountains in search of the truth behind a compelling legend. Make your stand aggressively against the dangers that dwell in the mountains, or take a stealth approach to combat courtesy of the game's open layout. See the game world come to life with a bold, cinematic presentation, complete with free-flowing "traversal gunplay" that adds a unique vertical element to standard third-person shooting mechanics. Compete or cooperate with other players in exciting multiplayer gameplay, and earn the considerable advantage with this edition's multiplayer boosts, including the Currency Multiplier, Golden Guns and early access to Revenge. Seize your courage and prepare to risk everything in a deadly pursuit Among Thieves.

What's great about it: Mostly everything
What's not so great: Some things that i might've thought"they could've made this better" but nothing memorable or bad. just "could've made it
As i stated in my Uncharted 1 review, i cant believe that i didnt find out about the glory of this game until late 2011. It is one of the best games ever made. It just took a hold of me and never let me go. it's very intriguing and fun to play. Even my mom, when accidentally caught a glimpse of the beginning of the game, she couldnt take her eyes off of it and asked me to show her, what happened next, so thyis was the first game she ever beat :D. In overall it is a great game.

What's not so great: N/A
This was definitely a great sequel to the first Uncharted.
The Uncharted series is in the mold of Indiana Jones and Tomb Raider, as the story deals with a particular treasure that Drake is after.

It helps if you play the first one first (Uncharted: Drake's Fortune)
Then if you are getting this game, get the Game of the Year Edition as that will give you access to all the downloadable content including a motion comic (Uncharted: Eye of Indra) which is a prequel to Drake's Fortune.

The treasure hunting and third-person perspective are great.
If you're into multiplayer shooters this offers a great one.
It offers different modes and different characters you can use.

What's great about it: Graphics, Controls, Story, Multiplayer.
What's not so great: Nothing.
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is a fantastic game. It stands out on it's own among a vast sea of games. The story is gripping, the action is intense and always stays with you, and the controls are as smooth as you could hope for. The story isn't a direct continuation from the first game Uncharted: Drakes Fortune, but if you want a good amount of info on the returning characters, I strongly recommend playing the first. The single player campaign will take you 8-10 hours (which is a good amount compared to similar games). Throughout the whole campaign, you will be stunned by the graphical prowess this game administers. The multiplayer portion of this game brings the smooth controls with it, and the graphics. This game is a must have for any Playstation 3 owner.

What's great about it: Graphics, gameplay, characters, story, multiplayer
What's not so great: Minor multiplayer frustrations
Among Thieves, in my opinion, is the best game on the "next-gen" consoles, in terms of what the sum of its parts add up to.
Graphics-
Incredible graphical presentation has become synonymous with the Uncharted franchise, which is a calling card it absolutely deserves. Not only is the detail top-notch, but the vivid and varied locales show off the beautiful colors and stylistic art direction of the game. The mountains, jungles, crowded and colorful cities are eye-candy to the highest level, and the Lost City (the last level) includes some the most stunning visuals I've ever seen. I stopped many times while playing to just swivel the camera around the environments, losing minutes at a time marveling at reflections in puddles and architectural textures.

Gameplay-
Climbing, although linear throughout, is very fun and adds a good "exploration" break to the shooting. Shooting is great, but it can feel a little loose in multiplayer, but it's just a learning curve. The cover system is extremely fluid and feels natural. Hand-to-hand combat works extremely well in the campaign with many animations and cool stealth melee. It performs well in multiplayer too, but it seems like whoever gets 2 punches first will get the kill; almost a “button race.” Puzzles are satisfying, but going back and forth from Nathan's journal can be frustrating at times. The scale and setup of some of the puzzles immediately relieve this minor concern though.

Story-
The story is really fun and is fueled by its great, likable cast of characters. Voice acting is superb with funny one-liners that are fresh and never seem weak; they really add to the humor, which excels throughout. The plot twists and character turns (hint: Among Thieves) keep you guessing and have you changing your emotional alliances with the characters. The mythological, yet historic plot is really entertaining and surprising, providing a globe-trekking, big-budget action movie feel to it. The set-pieces and cinematic scenes seamlessly combine a movie and video game.

Multiplayer-
5 vs. 5 variations of Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, Domination, etc. are really fun. Although the loose shooting and 3rd person perspective are a learning curve online, the stunning maps and currency system (allowing you to purchase skins, weapon upgrades, perks, and even tweaks for the campaign mode, such as slow motion, no gravity, and sepia-tone filter) beckon you to play more to level up. The online objective co-op is my favorite, where you and 2 other players charge through a part of the campaign without the actual story, but all the action. Co-op arena is similar, but with increasing waves of enemies, forcing you to just survive. FUN!

What's not so great: overrated dialogue at one point and sometimes to challenging
minus the way they portray women thinking that everyone like chest which fyi is not true... funny just ask drake.... it still is one of the best modern adventure games it is very challenging had to use a walkthrough for 2 of the chapters and im still not done... i wish there were some adventure games like quest for glory and kings quest though they had class... pentium class lol.... it is a really good game and still has many good characters some lame dialogue is about the only bad thing... its kind of like duke nukem will be lame version of nudity wheres the heels and fishnets.... but still a rockin game

I consider Uncharted games as underdogs. They have come out of the blue to conquer!! If you have enjoyed uncharted, uncharted 2 is 10 times better. You can play online co-op, vs other players, and stuff like that. The gameplay is much improved. The story is shows true invested time. Its so exciting. I enjoyed every bit of it!! thank the gods for sony free online play! The online experience is badass!!

What's great about it: campaign is awesome, graphics, multiplayer, high re-play value.
What's not so great: nothing for me
This is hands down my favorite game for PS3. Xbox can have Halo and Forza. As long as I have Uncharted, I'm happy.
-The campaign mode is phenomenal, exciting, challenging at times, and hard to stop playing. The story ranks up there with the Assassins Creed Franchise.
-The graphics are among the tops for console games
-The multiplayer is surprisingly fun and exciting. It's not CoD Modern Warfare 2, so if you're expecting something like that, temper your expectations. It has it's own charm. I personally like the money system for unlocking gun upgrades, skins, and "boosters" (much like perks in CoD).
Overall, I think Uncharted 2 is an absolute must have for all PS3 owners. Hands down the best PS3 exclusive game, and would be worth switching from Xbox to PS3 alone.
Can't wait for Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception!

I was expecting to like this game but it was a big let down. if you like Indiana Jones type stories this might be a good game. the controls are really bad on this game. i got stuck on the second level and haven't played the campaign since. the online is somewhat ok. the game is worth what i payed, i got it for free. if you are going to buy a game don't get this, get MW2 or Black ops. in my product rating i gave it a good only because i haven't beaten the game.

Uncharted 2: Amang thieves is one of my favorite games of all time. the story is cinema quality with many twists and turns throughout.very exciting story with many great sequences. the gameplay is topnotch as well. its a TPS like Gears Of War,(plays very similar to it aswell), every gameplay issue in the first game has been fixed in the uncharted 2., the graphics are simply breathtaking. tons of detail in every level. animations are excellent and everything runs smoothly throughout the game. facial animations are superb also. the voice acting is better in this game than most movies out there. props to Nolan North for another amazing job as Nathan Drake. Uncharted also has amazing muliplayer that is very fun. if there was only one complaint, it would be that the game ended.

All the accolades are right, this is really one of the best games you will ever play. Of the genre, there is no equal. Top notch graphics, engaging charcters, interesting cohesive storyline, exciting storytelling, and challenging AI.
Multiplayer is also very fun, not the best of the multiplayer options out there, but the single player more than makes up for it.
