Multiplayer consists of the normal features you’d expect to see, such as deathmatch and a treasure themed capture the flag mode.
And all these skills transfer adeptly to the multiplayer aspect of the game. The controls for all of Drake’s moves from taking down helicopters with a grenade launcher to making leaps of faith across impossible gaps are flawless. The breaks to platforming and puzzle solving are done at all the right times, ensuring that battle fatigue does not set in. The best part of all the gun play and general mayhem is the fact there is a break from it. The shooting and cover mechanics handle much better and added stealth component to Drake’s arsenal feels right at home. Gameplay has been revamped from the first game. Drake’s adventure stays fresh, has a sense of humor, and the end of the game will not disappoint. The story throws curve balls quite often, so a a detailed synopsis isn’t necessary. Following the “take something from real life pushed to the fantastical” formula, Drake tracks the steps of famed explorer Marco Polo to hunt down an artifact called the Cintamani Stone. No fault falls on the storytelling either. Excellent Writing Crafts a Blockbuster Story Bullets whiz by, entire buildings crumble, and trains derail. The entire spectacle is backed by an intense soundtrack and explosive sound effects. The actors bring the characters to life, both through voice and motion capture. Uncharted 2 features some uncanny graphics, but they are backed up by the incredible vocal talents of the cast. These descriptions can be seen in screenshots, but can’t truly be experienced until the controller is in hand.
A moving train has never been as real in a game, especially as it goes from a lush jungle to a snowy mountaintop seamlessly in real time. It is very possible to die just from looking at the scenery and mayhem taking place around Drake. Naughty Dog has raised the bar in graphical perfection in a video game. The set pieces in this game are just what you’d expect from a summer blockbuster, from war torn Nepal to a train dangling from a cliff. The game doesn’t deviate in presentation from Nathan Drake’s first adventure, it is just a larger and more exhilarating romp in the modern day Indiana Jones’ shoes.
Uncharted 2 has everything going for it: incredible action, an exciting story, well-rounded characters, and even a multiplayer component that continues to thrill long after the story mode has been completed.
