Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

The first Uncharted game, Drake's Fortune, was something of a dark horse release for the Playstation 3. Unheralded and relatively unknown upon release, the game went on to be a bit hit, drawing in a solid cult fanbase and being viewed as something of a contender to a certain Ms. Croft. The game combined elements of gunplay and shootout with traditional platforming and adventuring, drafting this into an Indiana Jones-esque backdrop of treasure hunting.

The sequel, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, looks as if it will have more than a few changes from the first in store. Whereas the first game introduced us to Nathan Drake, a loveable, happy-go-lucky adventurer, the storyline never really delved too deeply into his personality. This time around, we see the game take a darker tone as Drake puts more and more on the line in order to fulfill his goals. The setting also mirrors this change of mood, eschewing the lush tropical setting of the original in favour of the bleak, snowbound climate of Nepal and the Himalayas.

The overall gameplay is set to receive a major revision in Among Thieves. Whereas the original featured both shootouts and platforming, the two elements were never really combined to great effect. Levels would progress in noticable chunks of specific gameplay, one or the other. The sequel looks to merge these elements to a much greater effect, allowing Nathan to use his firearms whilst on the move. Certain elements have been added to increase diversity and realism also, including more environment interactivity such as tossing over tables to use as cover and stealing enemy weapons.

Fans of the original game should definately be looking forward to this title with baited breath- it does everything the original did but better, and adds a number of definite improvements to the general flow and function of the game. Still in development with a predicted release of late '09/early '10, developers Naughty Dog are taking their time to craft a game they know means a lot to their fans. So if you were one of the many to miss out on the original, pick it up quick style, because this sequel is definitely going to be an event not to miss!
