Follow-up game to 2007's critically acclaimed Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, the PlayStation 3 exclusive Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is a continuation of the adventures of Nathan Drake, a fortune-hunter with a shady reputation and an even shadier past. Chock full of all the action, adventure, cinematic story elements and beautiful graphics that set the first game apart, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves adds deep online multiplayer options, including co-op and competitive campaigns, and a whole new supporting cast of characters, making it yet another must-have title for the PlayStation 3 platform.
In 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 Polo's 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. Gameplay Although 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 game's 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.

If you're having trouble getting any of the "X kills per weapon," or Headshot or Survivor Trophies (kill 75 enemies before dying), there is a location shortly after starting Chapter 19: The Siege where you can camp and shoot continuously respawning enemies.
After starting Chapter 19, make your way down the sloping alley to the large courtyard. There is a mounted machine gun uphill on the left constantly shooting at you. Clear out as many enemies as you can and climb up to the right of the door of the building closest to the cliff (on your right as you enter the courtyard). Take cover looking toward the mounted machine gun on the left and use a grenade to take it out.
If you now look slightly right of the machine gun, at the small grass/mud patch before the next building, you will see an enemy running from behind a building from right to left making for the machine gun. Camp here in cover and keep shooting the enemies as they appear from behind the building. They only stop spawning temporarily if one of them reaches the mounted machine-gun (if one reaches the gun, then grenade them to start the respawns again). Beware: it will stop permanently if you go further to the right, triggering the RPG/wall collapsing cutscene.
If you've already beaten Chapter 19 at the difficulty you're playing, purchased weapons in the store and unlocked the "Infinite Ammo" tweak, then you can use these to get the weapon/kills Trophies.
On the "Urban Warfare" chapter and "Their Coming With Us" chapters, the climb-able signs hold references to Uncharted 1. For instance: Club Raja (Which is a reference to Eddy Raja from the first game) and Hotel El Dorado (which is a reference to MacGuffin from the first game).
On chapters where Nate is injured, if you carry a propane tank you'll be able to run without hindrance.
Normally, when you beat the game on a certain difficulty you'll be able to use Tweaks in a new game set on that difficulty. However, if you start a new game on a difficulty you haven't beaten, you can still enable Tweaks. Play until you have a real gun and then switch the difficulty to a mode you've beaten and enable your Tweaks. Save and quit, then set the difficulty back tot he harder version on the Main Menu. When you return to the game, your Tweaks will be enables on that harder mode.
Once you have beat the game you'll get the chance to guy buy things like weapons from the store. You make money by doing things like finding treasures etc.
Once you do something that gives you a large amount of money (like Master Ninja for 25k). Save your game (if it's not at an auto save area) and then quit back to the main screen. Then load up the game again you'll keep getting the reward each time you do it. Soon enough you'll have enough money to buy everything without having to find all the treasures.

You'll encounter a pool on the roof of a hotel during Chapter Six. Be sure to jump in it and swim around when you encounter it. Chloe and Nate will play an impromptu game of Marco Polo, and you'll earn $10,000 in-game to spend on bonuses as a result.
