Uncharted 2: Among Thieves PS3 Review

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is a Action-Adventure game for exclusivity PS3, which developed by Naughty Dog and published by Sony Computer Entertainment. It is the sequel to first original game Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. The story takes place where the event of first game is ended, The game follows Nathan Drake set his new adventure to discover a secrets of Cintamani Stone in Shambhala, while he has the mission to stop war criminals Zoran Lazarevic from stealing Cintamani Stone. With the help of Chloe Frazer had been relationship with Drake before and that. I say the story were outstanding with brilliant plot, great dialogue and very cinematic cutscenes with realistic CGI animations. The characters are awesome, like Nathan Drake and Chloe Frazer. The other 2 characters Elena Fisher and Victor Sullivan are also make return in the game. Zoran Lazarevic is one of the badass villains as the boss character. 

While this game features Single Player campaign, it also included Online Muiltiplayer and co-op.

The gameplay is much like the original 2007 game. The player can allow to do platforming by climbing on objects, swinging on ropes, grab and move along ledges, swimming on water, and jumping on different platform. However, the player can allow to solve problems, when puzzling the objects to move on to the next levels. The combat gameplay played really fun. The controls is perfect for aiming and shooting mechanics.

The weapons are great for shooting distances, balanced weapons quality, and very precise shot, which makes the combat weapons much easier to shoot enemies properly. You can perform dodging and cover positions by hiding behind objects to avoid getting hit by the bullets. You can also shoot them, while hanging on ledge. The stealth gameplay allows player to sneak in different area, without getting caught by enemies seeing you. You can attack them by sneaking behind the enemy and strangle them to death or throw them out of the stage, while hanging on ledge. I say the gameplay plays very well with fantastic puzzle solving, superb combat and stealth, and great platforming, which makes the game so amazingly fun.

The graphics has the best details in the game. The character's design looks amazingly realistic, the CGI animation has superb visuals, backgrounds and textures. The performance of this game runs very well done with excellent graphics engine which makes the game look marvellous on PS3.

The music and sound has best music themes, atmospheric sound effects and brilliant voice cast for characters.

The special features has downloadable content, unlockable features and trophies achievements.
