Next to this, the game promotes endogamous relationships: Drake has a romantic history with both Elena and Chloe, and there is even a steamy make-out scene between him and the latter. The only non-white character of significance is a Tibetan mountain man, Tinzin, whose inability to communicate with the others in English makes him appear somewhat subordinate. For starters, all of the main characters are white: Drake is a rugged, muscular brunette with a five o’clock shadow the main female characters, Elena and Chloe, are an American blonde and English brunette, respectively then there’s the American, Sully the Australian, Flynn the German ex-Nazi, Schafer and the Serb, Lazarevic. While the game provides a gripping, action-packed storyline that keeps the gamer on edge, it also offers a racially positive experience for the young mind. Ultimately, Drake ends up in Shambhala itself to battle against Lazarevic while also fending off a legion of debased humanoid guardians of the realm. He meets a variety of interesting characters along the way: in a Tibetan village he discovers a former SS officer who murdered his entire expedition to prevent Hitler from obtaining the Cintamani Stone, and then “went native.” From Borneo to the Himalayas, the player must control Drake as he climbs mountains, belays himself across chasms, swings from vines, escapes collapsing bridges, shoots down helicopters, hops train cars, all while facing off against hundreds of heavily armed Serbian paramilitaries a là Indiana Jones. He ultimately discovers that the Stone has the ability to make those who possess it nearly invincible, hence Lazarevic’s desire for it. He then embarks on an adventure to track down Flynn and his employer, a brutal Serbian warlord named Lazarevic (who reminds one of paramilitary leader “Arkan”), and also to secure the Stone for himself. At this point, Drake is betrayed by Flynn and left for the Turkish police to apprehend.Īfter three months in a Turkish prison, Drake is freed due to the “palm-greasing” of a few officials by some of his fellow treasure-hunting friends, including Chloe.
He finds within the lamp a map written up by Marco Polo himself the map reveals the location of the ships that were lost on Polo’s disastrous homecoming voyage, and hints that one of them was carrying a mythical object, the Cintamani Stone, which it recovered from the lost land of Shambhala. With the help of characters Harry Flynn and Chloe Frazer, Drake climbs, ducks, swings, grapples, and tranquilizes his way through the museum to the artifact-leaving a trail of unconscious Turks as he does so. At the beginning of the game, Drake agrees to take a job offer to steal a Mongolian lamp from a Turkish museum that is rumored to contain clues regarding the fate of Marco Polo’s lost ships. The player assumes the role of Nathaniel Drake, a ruggedly masculine treasure-hunter and fictional descendant of Sir Francis Drake. While the game is not quite the racial treasure trove that The Elder Scrolls and other role-playing games are, it still bears many notable, racially healthy qualities that make it a game fit for any wholesome white household. I was skeptical at first, assuming the game was just another shootem’ up with no substantial plotline having just completed the game, however, my opinion has done a 180.
As a white racialist and a gamer, I thought it pertinent to give the game a whirl and see if it held anything racially positive for these young minds. The game’s Creative Director, Amy Hennig, recently stated that she “would definitely say it’s exceeding expectations” regarding total sales thus far nearly 900,000 copies were sold within the first week of its release.Īs white people still constitute the majority in the US (albeit probably for not much longer), and since video games are integral to the lives of American youth, the game’s nearly record-breaking sales certify that innumerable young white people are playing Uncharted 2. Adam Sessler of G4 (a video gaming news channel) even claimed it is the “best single-player game I have ever played” in a recent review.
