Fortune is found in Drake's 2nd adventure to date in: Uncharted 2: Among Thieves!



After getting used to the type of playing style that is established in Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, I knew the 2nd game was the game for me, the gameplay style of: "Lara Croft/Indiana Jones meets James Bond" is truly perfected in UC 2: Among Thieves, no can really disliked about this, which is the main reason why it has won over 40 game of the year awards from E3 to PAX.  The "construction" of the game is truly memorable set in the Himalayan region of Tibet, following a gun slinging treasure hunter named Nathan Drake, searching for the legendary city of Shambala in the Himalaya's while evading a deadly Serbian war criminal. The real life animation developed for Uncharted was done by Naughty Dog (the same company that created Crash Bandicoot, and Jak and Daxter) and was highly more detailed, ND does a really good job also with the gameplay structure for the difficulty system presents a challenge for all gamers on it's hardest difficulty and provides helpful hints to players, in case one person was to get stuck and more over has music that suites each area and situation the character finds themselves in. Sadly, for many gamers out there that prefer to cheat their way to the finish of the game will be very unhappy, as there are no real cheats for the game, but walkthroughs on how to find all hidden collectables in the game (which can be found on Youtube, Gamespot, and IGN). I had bought the game when it was released on October 13, 2009 and still play it's story and co-op/competitive multiplayer, I have beaten it 3 times and continue ranking up in it's multiplayer ranking system. I like many that still play this game believe it is a "for sure buyer" and with 40-50 awards from different gaming conferences that it has attained (and achieved it's own Game of the Year Edition style of game) it is solid evidence that Uncharted 2 ( and the rest of the Uncharted series) are definite games to have on your gamer shelf. I look forward to give a blog on the next Uncharted; Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception, when it hits stores (and my PS3 slot) in November.
