DESCRIPTION

The roguish fortune-hunter hero Nathan Drake returns in Among Thieves, a high-adventure follow-up to the original Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. In action, Drake employs a move-set worthy of the most daring video game tomb raiders and relic hunters, with agile running and jumping, light hand-to-hand combat, and a noteworthy talent with small arms. These skills are put to use as the hero once again finds himself adventuring in the wilderness, facing a tricky location-based platform puzzles or vastly outnumbered by bands of violent, heartless bandits. The game runs on the developer's own engine. The character is designed to move with a smooth, realistic flow as he runs, sneaks, climbs, and fires his weapon from nearly any position — behind makeshift cover, or even while hanging by his fingertips from high on a cliff face or treetop vine. The action shifts seamlessly from one scene to the next, with no loading screens.

In this adventure, Drake seeks answers to the mystery of Marco Polo's lost fleet. Great riches and wisdom are tied to the fate of ships and treasure that left China with the famous explorer at the end of the 13th century, but did not arrive with him back home at his final destination. Although Marco Polo took the secrets of the lost ships and crew to his grave, Drake seeks answers on a journey through history, to the fabled Himalayan valley of Shangri-La. The key to the mystery may be a legendary sapphire, known as the "wish-fulfilling jewel." Magical properties or no, the billions of dollars the stone would be worth in modern markets should be enough to make nearly any wish come true. In addition to the main single-player story, the game features cooperative and competitive multiplayer modes. Among Thieves was developed by Naughty Dog, the studio that created the original Uncharted as well as other successful Sony-system exclusives. ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide

“Tackled some more multiplayer. I just might be improving, if only slightly. Up to rank 16 now. Finally getting more useful boosters.”

“Isn't Unbound Saga that horrid PSP brawler?”

“I haven't actually played it, but the statue is awesome. Highly detailed, 10" tall, and there was only like 100 of them made. I'm not that much into brawlers, so the chances of me playing it are rather remote.

@WILDMAMMOTH I lucked out that Kotaku is based in Denver, but check www.childsplaycharity.org to see if there's an affiliated children's hospital near you. If there is, there's a chance there might be an event going on. Worth checking out.”

“Dammit! I had some pics of the party, but a problem with my iPhone deleted all of them. First time that's ever happened. I even had one of Jez up on stage singing "Our Truth" by Lacuna Coil.”

“Looks like the closest event that will be happening soon is in Seattle...can't go to that unfortunately. Looks like Sacred Heart in Spokane has events from time to time, it's a few hours away but I'll definitely keep checking from time to time to see if they are having an event.”

“Apart from getting lost a few times and the odd grievance with the controls, I really enjoyed this game. It looks pretty, has some good cheesy humour and plenty of variety without being too choppy.”

“I guess what I tried to say is that it is at LEAST as good as the original one. I just finished playing the first one and I loved it. I started playing this one, and so far I've played only a couple of chapters, and feels as awesome as the first game... perhaps more. I haven't finished playing it, so I'm reserving my full opinion until then...”
