The game starts 2 years after the first one. An old friend, Flynn offers Drake to help him find the treasure of Marco Polo for a rich client of his. Marco Polo went on a famous journey from Europe to Asia, after 20 years in Kublai Kahn, Polo headed back with 14 ships and 600 passengers from China. He arrived back with only 1 ship and 18 surviving passengers. This journey of his in nowhere recorder and has a shroud of mystery all over it.
Along with Flynn is the beautiful Chloe and this is not the first time she and Drake have met. Story of the game takes them from the sunny beach to Turkey, Indonesia and finally to Nepal. As the story unveils you find out that the rich client of Flynn's is in fact a war criminal named Lazarevic. Lazarevic is looking for the mysterious Chintamani stone which Marco Polo supposedly came in contact with. The story of the stone is that whoever has it will rule the world.
As in many adventures, few things go as planned and wealth and fortunes often reveal the true identity of people. Soon enough Drake finds himself dodging bullets and running from enemies, he can never be sure of whom to trust.
Playing through the game is like being in the middle of a summer blockbuster movie. There's action and excitement at every corner, everything from hanging out of a train going 60mph in the mountains of Nepal to a gunfight in a collapsing building being shot at from a helicopter.
This game is truly astounding and definitely worth buying. Actually if you only buy 1 game on you PS3 console, make sure it is Uncharted 2: Among Thieves.
I rate the game 9,5 out of 10
