Eighteen months later only one ship remained and 18 passengers survived. Marco Polo never revealed what happened to these lost ships. Embarking on a quest to find the lost fleet, fortune hunter Nathan Drake soon realizes Marco Polo was hiding a much bigger secret - he had gone on a secret expedition to find the mythical kingdom of Shambhala and to recover the legendary Cintamani Stone, the "Wish-fulfilling jewel" of Buddhist mythology. With this new information Drake settles on a new course, following Marco Polo's trail through a diverse range of exotic environments. This quest also pits him against a new, more formidable adversary - a ruthless, rogue paramilitary leader with a private army and a relentless ambition to recover the stone for himself. p/ bGameplay/bbr/ Although gameplay in iAmong Thieves/i is similar to that of the previous game, there are several major differences. The most important of these is the addition of several online multiplayer options. Unfortunately, no offline multiplayer could be included in the game due to the impact local split-screening has on the game's graphical quality. Thankfully though, the online modes included cover both co-op and competitive play. See the feature list below for details on these. In addition to play modes players can also expect a wealth of new gameplay features including a new stealth gameplay mechanic and altered climbing mechanic--both of which are extended to the AI of enemies; the ability to create cover by flipping over certain found items; the use of riot shields for defense and offense; and a complete lack of loading screens. p/ bKey Game Features/b ul liPowered by Naughty Dogrsquo;s new 2.0 Engine Technology./li liOpen layout allows players to take an aggressive or stealth approach to combat./li liFree-flowing "traversal gunplay" adds a unique vertical element to standard 3rd-person shooting mechanics./li liAward-winning cinematic story presentation./li liA Deep Single Player Campaign ul liAn expanded cast of characters who reflect different facets of Drakersquo;s character, including Chloe Frazer, Drakersquo;s current partner and new romantic interest./li liVaried and exotic locations ndash; from lush, green swamps and dense urban environments, all the way to the ice and snow of the Himalayas./li liUnrestricted combat allows you to take an aggressive or stealthy approach to combat./li ul liFree-flowing "traversal gunplay" adds a unique vertical element to familiar cover-based third-person shooting mechanics, allowing you to engage in combat from any position in the environment ndash; even while climbing and hanging./li liIntroduction of new traversal and free-climbing mechanics allow Drake to navigate through the environments more fluidly and naturally./li liGunplay and combat enhancements, including an expanded melee system, and a variety of enemy types with advanced AI routines.

Just play it...nothing else matters November 13, 2009

I'm not going to go into some long-winded review about why I absolutely enjjoyed this game. I'm simply going to say...play it!
br /
br /The Uncharted games are known for simulating a summer action blockbuster movie and this one does not let the player down. If you played the first game you know exactly what you'll be getting into: non-stop adrenaline rushing gameplay...if you didn't play the first...what are you waiting for its only $29!
br /
br /my only gripe about this game is the use of its cover system. They haven't perfected it yet and oftentimes upon pushing the "O" button to get Drake to go into cover he may just stand there or twitch a little instead of ducking his head so he doesn't get shot up. I'm sure that'll be fixed in the next game (I'm like to see it mroe Gears of War like where your character sticks to it easily and with force to ensure he stays put). Though note this problem only caused me 1 death during the whole game so it wasn't a huge problem...just a minor annoyance
br /
br /Did I mention to buy this game yet? Its the best 7-12 hours you'll have in an action-adventure game this year guaranteed!

Just wanted to say that I enjoyed the game very much. However, I was disappointed to find out that only 6 out of 100 treasures are included in the bonus 'treasure map'....this was very misleading. When I emailed Amazon to ask if this was a glitz, they did not reply until after I sent off the third email. That in itself is so shabby in terms of 'customer service'. They did finally answer my email after the 3rd email, but their explanation was very lukewarm. Not quite sure if I will buy video games from them in the future. It is much more easier to pre-order from EB games....at least you will get the game on the same day as the release.

I'm sure like many people who like exclusives, I bought this game from amazon and waited to play it 2 days after it's actual release in stores for the treasure map guide. I managed to complete the game before the treasure map was released, which was fine, because you can't access the treasure map in game and I would have had to either kept exiting the game or had a friend bring over their ps3. Regardless, after the map was released for download (which I first thought would have just been an actual large map on paper that would have come with the game in the mail) I opened it up to find I can only find the first 6 treasures on the first level were available. WHO WOULD POSSIBLY ONLY WANT THE FIRST 6 TREASURES SHOWN AND NOT THE OTHER 94?! This is blatent "screw you customer" mentalility that I did not expect from amazon. And now after experiencing it, I WILL NEVER EVER EVER FREAKING EVER buy anything from them again. Grats on getting my 70 bucks, it will never happen again. For anyone reading this, I'm sure there's an EB games within 30mins of where you live. Save yourself the dissapointment that amazon is willing to provide you and get the game the day it comes out from a retailer that gives a damn about your business. Clearly amazon's customer service department has heard an earful on their shenanigans so this is as far as I am going with it as I don't want to give them anymore of my time.
