StoryIn Uncharted 2: Amongst Thieves fortune hunter Nathan Drake embarks on a journey that will push him to his physical emotional and intellectual limits to discover the real truth behind the lost fleet of Marco Polo and the legendary Himalayan valley of Shambhala more commonly known in the west as Shangri-La.In 1292 Marco Polo departed the court of Kublai Khan in China with 14 ships filled with over 600 passengers and crew. Eighteen months later only one ship remained and 18 passengers survived. Marco Polo never revealed what happened to these lost ships. Embarking on a quest to find the lost fleet fortune hunter Nathan Drake soon realizes Marco Polo was hiding a much bigger secret - he had gone on a secret expedition to find the mythical kingdom of Shambhala and to recover the legendary Cintamani Stone the Wish-fulfilling jewel of Buddhist mythology. With this new information Drake settles on a new course following Marco Polos trail through a diverse range of exotic environments. This quest also pits him against a new more formidable adversary - a ruthless rogue paramilitary leader with a private army and a relentless ambition to recover the stone for himself.GameplayAlthough gameplay in Among Thieves is similar to that of the previous game there are several major differences. The most important of these is the addition of several online multiplayer options. Unfortunately no offline multiplayer could be included in the game due to the impact local split-screening has on the games graphical quality. Thankfully though the online modes included cover both co-op and competitive play. See the feature list below for details on these. In addition to play modes players can also expect a wealth of new gameplay features including a new stealth gameplay mechanic and altered climbing mechanic--both of which are extended to the AI of enemies; the ability to create cover by flipping over certain found items; the use of riot shields for defense and offense; and a complete lack of loading screens.Key Game Features Powered by Naughty Dogs new 2.0 Engine Technology.
