For the most part though you will find the game playing like Gears of War as you switch between locations to try and outflank your enemies, but when it’s presented with such flair like we get here it becomes much more than another Gears of War clone. Of course the path to riches is never an easy one and this time Nate has to deal with not only the fantastically sarky former partner Harry as well as the former Soviet intelligence operative and war criminal Zoran who proves to be a worthy foe for Nate.Ĭombat once more is largely cover based, but at the same time the stealth elements of the game have been tweaked to be a satisfying option, especially with Nate showcasing a number of fun stealth kills as well as the ability to pull or knock enemies off ledges. To mix things up though we are introduced to Chloe Frazer, who keeps things interesting with her shifting loyalties while frequently showing herself as capable as Nate, making not so surprising that she was chosen to head up her own solo adventure in the forthcoming Uncharted: The Lost Legacy. Plotwise the game brings back Nate’s partner Sully as well as love interest Elena.

The story meanwhile is exciting to play through, setting up plenty of exciting set pieces which includes playing cat and mouse with a tank, battling Yeti type monsters and engaging in a high speed car chase that see you jumping from vehicle to vehicle similar to the randomness we saw in WET. What really makes this game stand out from its predecessor though is with how cinematically styled it is throughout with Nathan Drake a real delight to play as he battles through tense cover-based shoot outs and general defy logic with his chimp-like dexterity, which enables him to climb and hang off various impossible ledges and platforms. Visually the game really is a step up from the previous game as the environments are no longer the flat and lifeless jungle areas, here providing a lot more variety and visual interest to the player. Only once you’re past this does the game flashback several months to Nate being approached by his former partner Harry and his girlfriend Chloe to break into a Turkish museum to steal a mongolian oil lamp, which sets you on the path of the Cintimani stone when Drake is inevitably double crossed.Įraser (2016): Mobile Game Review Uncharted 2: Amongst Thieves, 2009 © Naughty DogsĮverything about this second adventure improves upon the original as the jungle setting this time is traded out for more of a globe trotting adventure, which takes place in Turkey, Borneo and Nepal and there’s real flow as you move from one location to the next with one of the standout sequences seeing you battling your way through a train as it journeys into the Himalayas. This is the first level of the game, which sees you trying to escape the carriage before it plummets to its doom, certainly making for an exciting start. While Nathan Drake might have made his debut with 2007’s Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune it would be this game, released two years later, that truly launched him into the gaming conscious as Drake sets out to find the fabled Cintimani Stone, a massive sapphire from the fabled city of Shambhala.Įssentially rebuilding the games concept from the ground up, the development team at Naughty Dog right from the start waste no time in asserting this fact as we open with a wounded Nate waking up in a train carriage hanging precariously off the side of the cliff. Uncharted 2: Amongst Thieves is a 2009 action third-person shooter game about a the continuing adventures of Nathan Drake as he searches around the world for the legendary Shangri-La.
