Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Review

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves was game of the year 2009 for many gaming websites. But why is it so good you ask? This review tells all.

Storyline:
The storyline of Uncharted 2 is great, to say the least. The main character, Nathan Drake, is a treasure hunter who hears about the Cintamani Stone and it's awesome power. He goes after it, with his hopes set high. Unfortunately, he isn't the only one after it. This creates the epic fight scenes in the game. If I say any more, I'll spoil the game.

Gameplay:
The overall gameplay of this game is amazing. The HUD is extremely simple, yet effective. The weapons are perfectly balanced. Ak47s are powerful and inaccurate, and M4s are more accurate, just as they should be.

Weapons and vehicles:
As I mentioned, weapons are perfectly balanced. Vehicles on the other hand, are not very fun. There are barely any vehicles in campaign and none in multiplayer. You can't choose which position on the vehicle you want to play in, and it seems rehearsed. Speaking of multiplayer, It is spectacular. That doesn't mean it'll ever replace Modern Warfare 2.
The Verdict:
This game deserved the title of best game 2009 for a reason. Campaign mode is near, if not, perfect, and multiplayer rounds out the deal. If you are looking for a great 3rd person game which has an amazing campaign and a great multiplayer mode, this is for you.
