I love the Uncharted series. This game was definitely one of my favorites. The storyline was amazing and the graphics where rich. At some moments I let Nate stand still at certains points, just for the amazing views. The mountains where beautifully made. The game is really exciting and fun to play.

With loads of humor and action.

Storyline: (Contains spoilers)

Two years after events of the first game, treasure hunter Nathan Drake is approached by former associate Harry Flynn and Flynn's girlfriend Chloe Frazer to help steal a Mongolian oil lamp connected to Marco Polo's doomed 1292 voyage from China. The group plans to cheat Flynn's client and take Polo's treasure for themselves. Unbeknownst to Flynn, Chloe and Nate had worked together before, and Chloe plans on blackmailing Flynn and escaping with Nate and whatever treasure they find.

Nate and Flynn break into a museum in Istanbul and find the lamp, which contains a map and flammable resin that reveals Polo's fleet was shipwrecked in Borneo, and was carrying the Cintamani Stone from the fabled city of Shambhala. Flynn double-crisses Nate, leaving him to be arrested.

Three months later, Chloe helps free Nate with his longtime friend Victor Sullivan. She reveals that Flynn is working for Zoran Lazarevic, a Serbian war criminal seeking the stone. In Borneo, Nate and Sully infiltrate Lazarevic's camp, with Chloe as a mole. Nate discovers that the stone never left Shambhala, and locates a temple containing the bodies of Polo's crew, as well as a phurba and map detailing that its carrier will gain passage to Shambhala through a temple in Nepal. Nate and Sully escape after being cornered by Flynn and his men.

Sully backs out, so Nate and Chloe continue to Nepal, which has been ravaged by Lazarevic's mercenaries. They encounter Nate's ex-girlfriend and journalist Elena Fisher together with cameramen Jeff, tracking Lazarevic. At the temple, Nate and Chloe use phurba to uncover Shambhala's location in the Himalayas. After Jeff is shit in an ambush, Chloe insists on abandoning him; Nate and Elena help him but arre caught by Lazarevic. Chloe switches sides to maintain her cover while Lazarevic kills Jeff and obtains Shambhala's location from Nate, who escapes with Elena.

With Elena's help, Nate catches up to Lazarevic's train. He fights through it to find Chloe, but she refuses to leave with him after he compromised their mission to help Jeff and Elena. Flynn arrives and shoots Nate. Cornered, Nate causes an explosion that derails the train over a cliff. He escapes the haning train car, recovers the phurba, and falls unconscious. A Tibetan Sherpa, tenzin, brings Nate to his village.

Nate reunites with Elena and is introduced to German explorer, Karl Schäfer. Schäfer sends him and Tenzin after the remains of Schäfer's failed expedition for the stone decades ago. Nate and Tenzin travel through ice caves and fight off strange minsters. They discover that Schäfer was working for the Nazi Ahnenerbe and killed his men to protect the world from the Cintamani Stone. They return to fight off an attack on the village by Lazarevic's men, but Schäfer is kidnapped, and the phurba stolen. Elena and Nate follow Lazarevic's convoy to a monastery, where the mortally-wounded Schäfer warns Nate to destroy the stone before lazarevic can obtain its power.

After reacquiring the phurba from Chloe, Nate and Elena unlock the secret passage to Shambhala underneath the monastery, but Lazarevic corners them. With Chloe's cover blown, Lazarevic forces Nate to open the pathway to Shambhala. The monsters attack but are killed by Lazarevic, who reveals them from as Shambala's disguised human guardians. After the gate is opened, Shambhala's true guardians attack, allowing Nate, Elena and Chloe to escape.

After making their way trhough the city, the group discovers that the Cintamani Stone is a giant amber derived, along with the flammable resin, drom the sap of an ancient tree of life. The sap gives the drinker inhuman powers, explaining the guardians and Polo's doomed crew. Flynn, left for dead by Lazarevic, ambushes them in a suicide attack, seriously wounding Elena. Nate leaves he rin Chloe's care and confronts Lazarevic at the base of the tree. Lazarevic drinks the tree sap, becoming nearly invincible. By shooting explosive pockets of resin near Lazarevic, Nate defeats him and leaves him to be killed by the guardians. As the city crumbles under the collapse of the tree and the exploding resin, Nate and Chloe carry Elena to safety.

In the village, Chloe advises Nate to tell Elena that he loves her, before bidding him farewell. Sully leaves a recovering Elena to Nate. The couple pays their respects at a memoriol for Schäfer and kiss.
