There were a few minor issues in the game, though. Sometimes the objectives aren't always clear. For example, Nathan and his companion had to escape a tank roaming around and destroying the city, but the game offers no hints on where to go or what exactly you're supposed to do. Another was that the controls sometimes got in the way, especially when Nathan had to swing from a rope. It was awkward trying to guide him to a particular destination.
The solo adventure lasts ten or so hours, depending on what difficulty you play and if you want to find all of the hidden treasures. Multiplayer is included this time around and has the same attention to detail as in the main campaign. There are a variety of multiplayer modes that offer co-op and competitive play. As you keep playing these modes, you earn money to buy new character skins, perks and various other goodies a la Modern Warfare. Each is extremely addictive and fun and will certainly add more hours to an already complete package.
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves for PS3 doesn't offer anything new and you certainly won't see an idea that you haven't already seen in an Indiana Jones movie or a Tomb Raider game, but it manages to stand head and shoulders amongst the competition and bring back a genre that has sadly been forgotten.
