Uncharted 2 Honor Among Thieves

                                ' No....,no,no,no,no. You have got to be kidding me... '

As I continue my run of the trilogy of Uncharted on the PlayStation 4, Nathan's next journey takes me on a search for the lost paradise of Shambhala. Marco Polo's ill fated journey where he returned with just a ship and a small company. The rest of his ships loaded with treasures were lost to time, as we retrace his steps back we uncover the very heart of the mystery as we go against the odds, a dictator who is hellbent on claiming the secret of Shambhala.
 Naughty Dog takes the idea of what uncharted is and goes big, I mean really big. These people have gone to lengths to make this game a grand endeavor. The opening sequence to this game is one of the most ambitious and nail biting sequences in the history of video games, I remember all those years back when I actually got to play it for the first time, it's something I will never forget.
Back to the present it's looks the same if not better on the PS4, Naughty dog knows how to remaster a game properly. The game in itself feels a lot more fluid as compared to Drake's fortune, Drake is more life like, has better movement and can wield weapons more effectively, leave it to drake to take cover based shooting to it's finest. Weapons are also quite varied with deep emphasis on run and gun something not so polish on the previous game. Grenade launchers and RPG's are just the tip of the ice berg.
The true worth of Uncharted is in it's level design, from running trains to dense jungles and all those crazy ice mountain chases in between trust me this is going to be a ride you can never forget. Uncharted 2 deserves every recognition and it certainly has got a lot of it, having been awarded the Game Of The Year on it's release the game went on to make history for being awarded the most nominations and for making strides in motion capture and voice acting. Thank you Nolan north for bringing to life Nathan drake and for making him so much memorable.
Final Verdict : Shambala awaits, to every PlayStation gamer out there.... Go for it ^_^
