Well, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is on its way to glory. I’ve never played more than a demo of the first install­ment, Drake’s For­tune, but I cer­tainly loved what I saw. It’s time to get the full ver­sion of Drake’s For­tune and get started before buy­ing part two. Both games fea­ture a gor­geous visual design but each is com­pletely self-contained. You do get a lit­tle bit out of a few lines or reveals if you’ve played the first game, though.

Any­way, Among Thieves really looks good and the voice act­ing is said to be excel­lent. Com­bine this with funny writ­ing and a well rounded selec­tion of weapons, con­sid­er­ing that actions scenes can play out in many dif­fer­ent ways, it looks like we have a real win­ner here. Of course, that’s just my opin­ion but the game is really doing well on Meta­critic: a score of 97 out of 100 based on 53 reviews is astounding!

The game also fea­tures a com­pet­i­tive and co-operative mul­ti­player mode and … wait a minute – I’m already sold! The sec­ond install­ment  will be launched today in the US. In Aus­tralia and Japan Among Thieves will be released on Octo­ber 15th. We peo­ple in the EU will get it last on Octo­ber 16th. The game is rated T or 16+ and will set you back 60 bucks.
