Uncharted 2 Among Thieves

With its movie-style action and jaw-dropping visuals, Naughty Dog's Uncharted 2: Amongst Thieves is a gaming masterpiece. As treasure hunter Nathan Drake, you journey to Nepal to seek Marco Polo's missing ships and the treasure within, but naturally things don't go as planned. Drake finds himself pursued by a deadly fugitive war criminal, who's after more than just the riches. On his quest you will encounter adrenalin-fuelled adventure, intense dangers and countless near death experiences - Drake will be pushed to his limit - but will his luck hold out?

Uncharted's gameplay is a mix of shooting, climbing, swinging and puzzle solving and it can be enjoyed in multi-player and co-op mode.

    Imagine the perfect Indiana Jones-esque action blockbuster: The explosive action scenes, the witty lines delivered by a charismatic hero as he takes on a nutter with a foreign accent to claim an ancient treasure, which is surrounded by a crazy legend that inevitably turns out to be true. Now imagine that instead of just watching all this, you could play it.

    You've just imagined Uncharted 2.

    It takes the ingenuous cover and climbing systems that led to the first games intense fights and make them even tighter, allowing you to seamlessly dash between cover, blasting waves of soldiers with whatever comes to hand be it a bazooka or a crossbow. (You may find one of those to be slightly more effective than the other).

    Things only get more intense as the set-pieces get more and more over the top as you fight helicopters and clamber along moving trains.

    The things that sets UC2 apart from other shooters are its stunning visuals that make the characters look practically real, an illusion enhanced by the funny script, top notch voice acting both of which are superior to those in most actual blockbusters.

    In short it makes a better action film than most action films and is a blast to play as well.

    An excellent sequel to Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. Naughty Dog have polished up every area of the game and surpassed everyone's expectations. The game is longer and with the added trophies it only encourages you to play again and again. The various locations and puzzles in the game make it the best action/adventure game in PS3 history and now with an online multiplayer game, it definately gives value for money. Many critics have given Uncharted 2: Among Thieves full marks and deservedly so, nominated for Game Of The Year proves how good it really is. Only one question remains, Can Uncharted 3 possibly improve any more?

    If action/adventure is your kind of game then you should buy this, if they aren't try it anyway, you might just find it's worth it.
