While I'd say the story is quite good overall, I wouldn't say that it's perfect. Nate and his pals go through a lot, so it does a good job of reeling you in and keeping you hooked until the end. The story itself twists and turns throughout the course of the game, as you might expect, and for the most part it's a solid tale. Almost every character is unpredictable in some way, but not in a forced or unnatural manner.
Almost everyone with more than two lines of dialogue has an interesting reason for doing what they're doing (though the main bad guy is just bad), and the way that everyone interacts with one another is realistic and interesting. The great storytelling extends to the character development, which has been turned up a good notch or two. The result is that the pacing feels better and faster, and even though you're technically doing the same sort of shooting, climbing and puzzle solving throughout the game, the different ways the scenes are presented gives Among Thieves a greater sense of gameplay variety than the original. The important part here though is that this game doesn't just take place on a single island and instead changes locales a handful of times over the course of the adventure. That's about as far as I want to go with the storyline, though some of the trailers out there actually reveal a little more than that. Of course, things aren't quite that simple and the cast winds up going on a much grander adventure, one that takes them half-way around the world. Trying to remain as spoiler-free as possible, I'll just say that the story starts off about a year or so after the events of the first game and begins with Nate and a few fellow thieves working on finding Marco Polo's lost treasure fleet. Yes, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is fantastic. Both expectedly and amazingly, Naughty Dog has indeed bested Nate's first adventure and has created a sequel that is not only bigger and better in practically every way, but also packs a multiplayer component that could be released as its own separate, full-priced game and people would stand in line to hand over their cash. Now Naughty Dog returns to the spotlight with Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. With stunning visuals (that still rank amongst the best in gaming today), a fantastically told story, great puzzles and high-octane gunplay, it's easily one of the best titles of this console generation. Naughty Dog's 2007 jungle romp starring the one and only Nathan Drake gave gamers a taste of what it would be like to play as an acrobatically-inclined Indiana Jones.
