Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is the sequel to Nathan Drake's Fortune , following the previous games fortune-hunting hero, Nathan Drake, as he searches around the globe to try to solve another of the world's unsolved historical mysteries. The story picks up a few years where the first one left off, following Drake as he searches for clues about Marco Polo's lost fleet.
The gameplay of Uncharted 2 remains similar to the first game. It consists of cover-based shoot-offs, fast-paced escape sequences, and death-defying stunts fairly reminiscent of those in the Indiana Jones movies. Some notable changes include stealth-action segments, which force you to move through certain areas hiding in cover from the hordes of pirates who await to kill you.
Drake spends most of the time alone, but during large parts of the game, he is also accompanied by fellow treasure hunter Harry Flynn, Elena, and Chloe. The wall-climbing and cover mechanics have been heightened, allowing free movement over walls and more items for Drake to use as protection.
Multiplayer modes are entirely new to the series. Among Thieves features both competitive and cooperative play, allowing you to play the game with friends and people around the world. Competitive game modes include "Deathmatch (Team Deathmatch)", "Plunder (Capture the Flag)", "Elimination" and "Chain Reaction". Co-operative includes a mode called "Gold Rush", in which you along with two other people must work as a team to face off against waves of enemy AI.
Unlike in the original PS3 release, the PS4 release features only the single-player mode. However, the PS4 release features a photo mode where you can pause the game and make the current screen look like a photo.
