Synopsis

Caught 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.

Posted by: from Allen, tx on 05/11/2013This is one of the best games I have ever played. It is kinda like a video game version of Indiana Jones. Great action sequences and story line.

Amazing Adventure and great gameplay
5
Posted by: from Salt Lake City, UT on 05/06/2013I'm way behind the times, but I just completed Uncharted 2 recently. I had heard nothing but great praise for the game, and I'm happy to say Uncharted 2 lived up to the hype. Nathan Drake is Indiana Jones in video game form, and Uncharted 2 tells his amazing journey through Istanbul and Nepal, in search of the mythical city Shambala. The story is great, and the gameplay works just as well. Uncharted 2 is a quality 3rd person shooter with a good variety of guns and excellent cover mechanics. The game also incorporates a lot of platforming elements as well.

Uncharted 2 Super Voucher EXPIRED!
1
Posted by: from Seattle, WA on 01/06/2013There is no DLC on the disc itself, all DLC is accessible through a code that comes with the game. All of the codes for Uncharted 2: Game of the Year Edition expired in 2010. In other words, this product NO LONGER EXISTS as advertised. It is simply the standard Uncharted 2 in a different case now. Please be forewarned. I have also contacted a Sony representitive and there's no way they could extend the expiration date or offer any terms of credit to purchase the DLC. Sony and Naughtydogs, I'm truly disappointed in you guys for having an expiration date on your exclusive games. I'm a big fan of your products, but in the future, you guys need to put an expiration date or a warning about these vouchers.

Great Game
5
Posted by: from NJ on 10/06/2011As 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.

Intense Storyline
5
Posted by: from Rockville, MD on 08/10/2011This 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. I can not really think of any minuses to this game. Well, it did get Game of the Year.

One Of The Few Great Games Of This Generation.
5
Posted by: from Brighton, MI on 07/31/2011Uncharted 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.

A Spectacle of Video Games
5
Posted by: from Spokane, WA on 02/05/2011Among 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! An absolute must-play. Your PS3 wants this game in it. Schwing.
