 Fortunate for PS3 owners November 25, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Uncharted is one of the first must have PS3 games. The graphics are just downright amazing, it makes you excited about whats to come in the next couple of years for the PS3. Its so refreshing to see games on the PS3 that aren't first person shooters set in a dark gritty world, Drakes Fortune brings you into its fascinating and beautiful paradise and doesn't let you go. The story is well written and well acted and the twist towards the end of the game really keeps things fresh. The ending is satisfying while still leaving an opening for another Drake and Elena adventure which I cant wait for. The gameplay is satisfying as well, while it can start to seem like fighting enemies is a chore its always fun to see them dance around and slide from cover to cover. The enemies are very smart and will kill you multiple times. Basically if you own a PS3 you owe it to yourself to purchase this game, if only to prove to yourself why you bought it.
 Very good so far November 24, 2007

I purchased Uncharted: Drake's Fortune as I was looking for some PS3-only games, as I buy everything for XBOX360 if I have a choice. I started playing and immediately got a real feel for the adventure that begins right from the start.
The game looks amazing graphically, in fact, the PS3 shines thoroughly here in the way it creates exact shadows, and matches the characters mouths to the voices so you can almost read their lips. When Nathan takes a swim, his clothes darken and get wet and change appearance to show it. When Nathan gets out of the water, the clothes remain visibly wet. Not important at all, but an incredible bit of attention to detail. The old ruins explored in the beginning are gorgeously crafted and you can really feel the deep, dank, musty feel that they have. In the lavish jungle, the trees, plants and everything on screen keep an amazing frame rate and the visual pleasure that this game creates is utterly everything the PS3 is all about.
I haven't played through the game yet, so I'm a bit unfamiliar with all of the levels. The ones I have seen are not terribly long, so I don't think the game will take terribly long to finish. I hope that I am wrong, as I'd love to get further lost in the game play and story line that gets established right from the jump off. So far there have been traps to avoid, puzzles to solve and pirates to shoot at. I get a real Indiana Jones feel to the story. The game play has had me climb levels, swim distances, find treasures, swing on vines and all out become an adventurer, which makes the game feel a bit like Pitfall if it had been made twenty five years later.
Overall, I can only recommend this game so far. It's been an amazing journey and I've only just begun it. I'm usually much more biased towards my 360, but in this case the PS3 has been used perfectly to compliment what I consider one of this year's great games.
The Game of the Year! November 24, 2007

This game is so good it really defies explanation. If you have a PS3, you MUST buy this game.
Graphics: Possibly the best looking console game ever; Uncharted delivers in every possible way. Rock solid frame rate, textures that are incredibly realistic and animation that makes the characters seem truly alive. Details abound such as if a bullet gets too close for comfort drake will cover his head while he runs (while cursing). In addition, some of the later levels feature some of the best lighting ever in a video game.
Gameplay: Anyone who has played Gears of War will feel right at home steering Drake through dangerous situations. He can take cover behind objects of different sized with the press of a button and the cover system is the basis for combat. Gunplay unfolds quickly with enemies coming in waves. Aside from a couple spots where you may suffer a few frustrating deaths from aggressive enemies the balance is excellent. Hand-to-hand combat is one of my favorite parts of the game. The secret is in the timing! Some reviews have said the combos are difficult to execute, however if you pay attention at the beginning of the game it is made very clear how to execute combos. You must press the attack buttons in good timing you CAN be too fast. Drake will slam enemies into walls, knock them over ledges, head-but, cheap-shot and drop kick in situations when you are light on ammo. The platforming sections of the game (jumping from place to place) are also very entertaining and break up the action nicely. There are a few areas that are difficult, but for the most part platforming is relatively easy.
Sound: A beautiful theme and intense music during the game combine for some great atmosphere. The ambient sound is fantastic as well. If you don't have a surround sound system then get one and turn it up.
Replay Value: This is the one area that some people may take points from uncharted. On my first time through I got 12 hours out of the adventure. I take my time looking for the hidden treasures to unlock rewards, however. A realistic expectation would be 10 hours on the first time through. There are plenty of bonuses to unlock that will bring you back for more, not to mention you can jump back into you favorite "chapters" to blast a few bad guys on a whim.
Overall: This is definitely the game of the year for PS3 and maybe overall. No review can do the production values of this game justice however. The voice acting, art direction, cut-scenes and presentation are all so fantastic that it has to be played to be believed. Sony went above and beyond to help naughty dog make a hit game and the results are obvious. A game that people will talk about years from now.
If you own a PS3 you MUST GET THIS GAME! November 24, 2007

Long have the loyal Playstation fans awaited a game that was worthy of next gen and one to show off the capabilities of this great system. Uncharted lives up to the expectations and surpased! Not only is this game stunning, but it is FUN! If you have a PS3 you need to run out and get this game! You will not regret it.
Uncharted's gameplay is smooth, fun and inventive. Not only do you get a shooter game, but an adventure game with a very engaging story. It's like watching a movie that you are apart of. The game is so much fun, that you'll want to keep on playing it.
For the casual gamer you might find that the easy and normal settings are just right. The shooting of enemies will seem frustrating as unless you get a perfect headshot these guys aren't going to go down rigt away. Although sometimes I thought enemies were pushing their luck with how many times I shot them, it kept the game going and I never really got stuck as to where I was frustrated. There are different solutions to the shoot outs -- such as shooting barrels etc.
I don't want to spoil everything for you but you will ride jet ski's and shoot rocket launchers and kick butt in every single way. If you get tired of shooting an enemy or you run out of bullets you can run over and beat the guy, knock his head into some stone, steal his bullets and shoot the rest of his pirate pals.
There have been a lot of games that I regret spending $[...] dollars on, but this one is definately one I am happy with. Hours of game play, unlockables, and just a lot of fun. I look forward to other Drake titles and what Naughty Dog has in store for the the PS3
BUY THIS GAME!! November 24, 2007

Hands down, one of, if not, the best games I've played since I got my PS3. They totally flip the script toward the end, and it leaves you speechless, but you can't slow down if you want to survive. For the seasoned gamers, I suggest you start on Hard difficulty. All the whiners can go suck their thumbs and play their 360s. This game is great. I'm freakin' out thinking about what the sequel will be like.
