Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is a great game worth playing

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves has to be one of the greatest titles available on PlayStation. It’s a major improvement over the first game, Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune, both in terms of graphics and controls. The story also feels much deeper with better writing than the first Uncharted.  It seems that the development team over at Naughty Dog has learned a lot from the first installment of the Uncharted series and the improvements do show.

Of course, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves comes with breathtaking places to visit, nice collectibles to gather and a great relationship to continue building with Elena Fisher, the journalist we meet in Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune.

The game is rather large with 26 chapters to play through and enough enemies to take you down during the span of your gameplay. There’s hardly any aim assist, and if you’re coming from Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, or even Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, you will notice right away that the lack of aim assist / snap on can be felt. The game isn’t necessarily harder to play because of this, but it surely does make it more complicated on the higher-difficulty modes.

How to get Uncharted 2: Among Thieves?

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is available as a digital download for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 in the PlayStation Store, or as a BlueRay disc (physical copy) for both PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4.

For PlayStation 4 you have the option to either get Uncharted 2: Among Thieves alone on BlueRay, or get the Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection BlueRay / Digital Download which contains Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, and Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception (part of the PlayStation Hits series) which has a great price.

Is it hard to get a platinum trophy in Uncharted 2?

No, Uncharted 2's platinum trophy isn't very demanding. The only trophy that can cause you more problems is the one unlocked by completing the entire game on the crushing difficulty level. Some battles can cause you trouble, especially if you have to face more elite opponents wearing armor and equipped with heavy machine guns, sniper rifles or grenade launchers.

If you have the PlayStation 4 remastered version, you don't have to get all the trophies to unlock the platinum trophy. Trophies in the remastered collection are completely optional. This will make it easier for you, as one of the additional trophies called Charted! - Brutal is awarded by completing the game at the highest difficulty level. Our trophy guide for Uncharted 2: Among Thieves has all the information on how to unlock them.

How long is Uncharted 2: Among Thieves?

Uncharted 2 isn't a very long game - the main storyline should take you about 10-11 hours. The amount of time spent with the game can be significantly longer if you try to find all 101 treasures and unlock the platinum trophy. In this case, completing the game 100% should take you a little over 20 hours. For more information about the duration of the game and its features, please check out a separate page of our guide - How long does it take to complete Uncharted: Among Thieves?.

Other useful cheats can be found in the Weapons menu. You can equip your hero with weapons you have unlocked. This is very useful for some of the trophies that require you to kill enemies with a certain type of weapon.

Note - you can still unlock trophies while using cheats. It may even make it easier to get them.

How many chapters is uncharted 2

New character skins are tied with making progress in the campaign. You can choose from various outfits for Drake or use skins of other characters (e.g. Chloe, Elena, or Flynn). You can select them from the options menu by opening Bonuses, Rewards and Skins.

Applying a particular skin doesn't affect the gameplay, even if it's drastically different in appearance from Nate's default skin.

Does Uncharted 2 have multiplayer?

Unfortunately, no. Multiplayer has been available for a long time since the game's release but only on the PlayStation 3. Uncharted 2 servers were shut down on September 3, 2019. This means that you can't get the platinum trophy for the PS3 version.

The remaster of Uncharted 2 on PS4 doesn't have the multiplayer - it only has single-player content. This means that this version has an easier platinum trophy, and you don't need to have a PS+ subscription to experience all of the game's content.

Does Uncharted 2 Remastered on PS4 have new content?

Apart from minor exceptions, no. The main campaign is the same for PS3 and PS4 versions. They have the same number of chapters and they don't differ much in the PlayStation 4 version.

The PS4 remaster offers 1080p and 60fps gameplay, improved textures and character models, and a better lighting system. As for new features, the remaster has photo mode and over 10 new trophies that weren't available on the PS3.

Can I purchase Uncharted 2 Remastered separately?

Yes, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Remastered can be bought separately, and this applies exclusively to the digital version. You don't have to buy the whole Uncharted: Nathan Drake's Collection game set. This is a more interesting solution if you've finished the other two parts and don't need another copy of these games.

How much drive space does Uncharted 2: Among Thieves take up?

The amount of drive space depends on which version of Uncharted 2 you have:

  1. The PS3 version of Uncharted 2: Among Thieves will take up about 19 GB.
  2. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Remastered on PS4 will take up about 19 GB.
  3. Uncharted: Nathan Drake's Collection requires around 46 GB of free storage space on PS4.

How many chapters is Uncharted 3?

List of all chapters of the Uncharted 3 Drake's Deception. Below you will find a list of all the stages in Uncharted 3 Drake's Deception. There are 22 chapters to complete.

Is Uncharted 2 a hard game?

It is definitely doable. In fact, Uncharted 2 was only a little bit harder on Hard than it was on Medium. I suspect the Crushing difficultly setting is by far the toughest, so they didn't make Hard all that bad because of that.

Why is Uncharted 2 GOOD?

It's fast, it's cinematic, it's unbelievably thrilling, and it delivers the sort of unbridled spectacle that this entire series has since then built its whole identity around. In the years since then, Uncharted has tried to outdo what it did with set-pieces in Among Thieves multiple times.
