Uncharted 2 Among Theives Multiplayer Demo

If you have a PS3 you know about Uncharted. Sony’s new flagship title that basically set the bar for the system. Nathan Drake now stands along Mario and Master Chief as a face to the system. Nathan’s next adventure “Uncharted 2 Among Theives” has been receiving reviews of perfection.

While the game is supposed to have one BADASS Single player experience something new was added to Uncharted 2 that has grabbed my attention and basically made the game a must have for my PS3 list. Multiplayer. Now to cool thing is, when you reserved the game from Gamestop you got a Beta(Demo) code to try out Uncharted 2′s Multiplayer(MP) modes…Recently, that demo was put up on the PSN store for ANYONE to download and test drive, so how does Uncharted 2′s MP hold up? Let’s explore…

Anything you can do in single player can be done in the multiplayer modes. This means all the climbing, stealth kills, shoot from ledges, and melee beat downs can be done in the competitive multiplayer, too. The demo featured 4 very pretty levels that for the most part had a really nice vertical feel to it. On a horizontal plane the levels seem small, but alot of walls and such are climable and make for a bigger level.

The game features a party system that you can join up with others that you meet in matchmaking or party up before jumping in. Aside from matchmaking you also have custom games and cinema mode, where you can watch your most recently played games. The Demo features the in game level and rewards system, as your level increases playing MP games you also earn cash (all around in the final version I believe) but with levels comes rewards such as new character skins, taunts, and boosters. Boosters are basically special attributes that improve your character. From being able to carry more ammo to being able the score the treasure quicker, all these rewards however must be purchased by the money you earn through playing the game.

The gametypes are Deathmatch(first team to 50 kills), Elimination(Last man standing), Plunder(CTF), Territories, and Co-Op. Co-op is where 3 people either fight never ending waves of enemies or complete an objective while dealing with lots of enemies.

The game plays very nice and to me is very unique simply cause of all the things you can do. The multiplayer really shines even if it isn’t the main reason this game will most definitely be a hit. I do believe that this is one of the best Multiplayer games coming to PS3, so if you are online. Do yourself a favor and try the demo, while it lasts. The launch day for the game is October 13th(next week), I’ll try to review this when it comes out.
