Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is a 2009 action-adventure game developed
by Naughty Dog and published by Sony Computer Entertainment. It is the
second game in the Uncharted series, and was released in October 2009
for PlayStation 3. Set two years after the events of Drake's Fortune,
the single-player story follows Nathan Drake, who partners with Chloe
Frazer and Elena Fisher, as they search for the Cintamani Stone and
city of Shambhala, whilst battling a mercenary group led by war
criminal Zoran Lazarević.Development for Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
began immediately following the critical and commercial success of the
first entry. The development team drew inspiration from explorer Marco
Polo, and specifically, from his expeditions through archipelagos and
eastern Asia. Naughty Dog also aimed to improve the game's proprietary
engine, creating the game to run exclusively on the company's Naughty
Engine 2.0 system. This allowed the developers to record extensive
motion capture and more in-game cinematic sequences, as well as
include an online multiplayer component; a first for the
series.Uncharted 2: Among Thieves received universal acclaim from
critics for its elaborate set pieces, character design, storytelling,
graphics, technical innovation, and gameplay mechanics. It received
Game of the Year accolades from numerous publications and award
events, and is considered to be one of the greatest video games ever
made, and among the most significant titles for the seventh console
generation. It also enjoyed great commercial success, with over seven
million copies sold worldwide. The game was followed by a sequel
titled Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception in 2011, and was re-released on
PlayStation 4 as part of Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection.
