Two years ago, Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune was hailed as one of the most cinematic experiences in gaming, not to mention being arguably the best PS3 exclusive at the time. The story of treasure hunter and scoundrel Nathan Drake’s quest for the fortune of Sir Francis Drake was wonderfully written, with gorgeous visuals, excellent voice acting, and addictive gameplay. Despite launching to positive reviews, Drake’s Fortune wasn’t without problems. The Tomb Raider-style puzzles were a little too obvious, the melee combat left much to be desired, and the motion controls for throwing grenades felt forced. In making a sequel, developer Naughty Dog was challenged with fixing the issues of the first game while delivering another action-packed story. Even though I loved Drake’s Fortune, I was still blown away by Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. With a longer single-player storyline, the addition of multiplayer, improved gameplay mechanics, and phenomenal graphics and voice-acting, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is without a doubt one of the best games to come out this year.
