Introduction

He's back! That's right, gamers, our friend Nathan Drake is back. After great hardship in Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, Drake succeeded in getting rich while barely living to tell the tale. But now, he's clamoring for another adventure, and it just so happens to find him when he's relaxing at a beachside resort one sunny afternoon. An old friend of Nate's, Harry Flynn, approaches him with a proposition -- to go to Istanbul, Turkey, and rob a museum of a seemingly valueless artifact. But it's what's within the artifact that's at the heart of Uncharted 2: Among Thieves' storyline.

Traveling the world over in search of Marco Polo's long-lost treasure garnered long ago in China, Nate encounters some new faces and old friends alike on a journey even more difficult, longer and more riveting than the original. With a story rife with love, deceit and adventure, Uncharted 2 isn't only a game with an amazing plot, but a game that looks amazing as well. It is truly one of the treasures Playstation3 fans the world over can be proud of, for this is a game each and every gamer should experience.

Of course, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves isn't without its difficulties. Nate will encounter plenty of resistance on his journey, not only from armed thugs, but from puzzles as well. That's where our guide comes in. Our Basics section will hold your hand through the game's fundamentals and finer points, while our Walkthrough will get you through each and every chapter in the game, with treasure locations included. The Treasures section doubles up on the walkthrough's knowledge, with each treasure location uncovered, while our Arsenal section outlines the myriad firearms available for use. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves introduces a Multiplayer aspect to the franchise, which is what that section of the guide covers. And finally, Bonuses, Q&A and Trophies are appendices that outline not only the game's most commonly-asked inquiries, but information on the in-game bonuses and trophies as well.

So without further ado, it's time to go adventuring.
