Uncharted 2: Among Thieves wastes no time getting to business - and the game’s business is action. Nathan Drake starts off beaten, bloody, and in a near-death situation. One thing you notice really quickly in Uncharted 2 is that Nathan Drake gets the shit kicked out of him all the time. This humanization of the character is something that stands out and gives the game a bit more of a ‘real’ experience.

Naughty Dog has taken big strides in improving every aspect of this game compared to Drake’s Fortune. Uncharted 2 doesn’t necessarily do anything new, but it does everything in the highest of quality. The graphics are top notch, the shooting mechanics are great, and the story is enjoyable. Also, multiplayer is a new addition to the sequel and it fits right in perfectly. Take the improvements and add the vibe of summer action movie and you got one hell of an entertaining game.

Aside from the aforementioned enhancements, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves exceeds even more in terms of dialogue and voiceover acting. The character exchanges in real time game play and in the cinematics all feel authentic and the lines are delivered convincingly. While playing Uncharted 2 you get the feeling that the voice actors are really enjoying themselves.

Uncharted 2: Amongst Thieves is definitely a must have if you’re a PS3 owner. It’s an awesome game that continues to impress and may possibly be the game of the year. Naughty Dog really knocked this game out the park and they deserve all the praise and acclaim they’re getting.
