Story Line:
In 1292, Marco Polo departed China with fourteen ships and over 600 passengers. When he arrived in Persia a year and a half late, only one ship remained and only eighteen passengers had survived. Marco Polo never revealed what happened to the lost fleet. Embarking on a quest to find the lost ship and treasure they carried, fortune-hunter Nathan Drake soon discovers that Marco Polo was hiding a much deeper secret- he had gone on a secret expedition to find the mythical kingdom of Shambala and to recover the legendary Cintamani Stone, the "wish-fulfilling jewel" of Buddhist mythology. The discovery sets Drake on a new course, tracking Marco Polo's trail through a diverse range of exotic environments. The quest also pits him against a new, more formidable adversary, Zoran Lazarevic - a ruthless, rouge paramilitary leader with his own private army and a relentless ambition to recover the stone for himself.

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is without a doubt the best game released on PS3 so far. There might be games that are this close in terms of graphical achievements but Among Thieves cripples the competition in terms of graphics. There really isn't much more to be said other than, I really love this game. This proves Naughty Dog is very valuable to Sony being an exclusive developer and I think the next game they produce will be much better than this. I have complete faith in their next project. That's all for now, I recommend this game to everyone. I know you'll love it.

Uncharted 2 is an experience – and one that needs to be experienced not only by gamers, but by non-gamers as well. The game is closer to perfect than anything I’ve ever encountered in every single aspect of the game. Naughty Dog hit the ball out of the park with the first title, yet somehow managed to smash through the stadium lights and send the ball into orbit with this one. If you hear people proclaiming this game to literally be the greatest ever made, they’re not being hyperbolic. Unprecedented technological mastery, a terrific story and characters, an outstanding musical score, phenomenal gameplay, outstanding multiplayer – I’m running out of positively connotative adjectives. The game is that good.
