Naturally, Drake emerges from his chrysalis, leaving behind his petty, thieving persona and embraces his true, heroic nature. Somewhere along the line he discovers a plot that runs far deeper than the accumulation of riches, and Nathan Drake becomes embroiled in a struggle with a madman and his mercenary army. After pulling off a heist to recover an ancient map, then cooling his heels in Turkey, Nate globetrots his way around the world in search of fabulous wealth. Once again, players take on the role of Nathan Drake, a mercenary treasure seeker, this time in search of Marco Polos treasure-laden, lost fleet. If you don't own a PS3, there's never been a better excuse.įirst and foremost, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is a single-player adventure.

If you own a PS3, it's is imperative that you go out and get this game. In fact, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is so polished, action-packed, multi-faceted, and enjoyable that it has, in my mind, spawned a new genre: interactive cinema. Flash-forward nearly two years, and Naughty Dog has put together an astounding title that sets a new standard for adventure gaming.

The original game was, without a doubt, one of the prettiest and most engaging action-adventure games ever produced. Perhaps no other franchise on the PS3 so readily defines the console as does the Uncharted series.
