Uncharted: Drake's Fortune

I liked this game for the most part, but I was hoping for something a bit more original, however, if you have played the two games listed above then this is not going to be anything new game play wise. However, it makes up for it by having a rather good story, and I did enjoy the game play in said two games. Just to warn you though, I was cussing at certain parts of the game and I had it set to easy. The story, typical search for the treasure scenario as Nathan and his buddies are after a treasure sought by Sir Francis Drake. You have your typical bad guys and you have numerous shoot outs, which is one of the problems I had with this game. There are two many go here then to the next screen all basic shootouts. These shootouts get annoying, especially when the enemy is seemingly dead on all the time. I just wish with all the advances in gaming they could dumb down the enemy a bit. I can't stand it when you get locked on immediately, it would be nice if for once the enemy would lose sight of you at times as that would be more realistic. The exploring is straight out of Tomb Raider Legends and fun for the most part, and then there is the end which spiced things up with strange things to kill, things that would seem more in place in a horror survival game than in this setting. Still, it was fun, the ending was good and I could see playing another game featuring these characters again. Next time I hope they work on the hand to hand more as you just did not get a lot of opportunity to really use it much.

This game rocks!

Its a perfect blend between humor and action. And the graphics and realism is just like, nothing I've seen. The enemy AI is not bad neither.

This game was a experience. And the story mode is really awesome, and as many says it is a perfect mixture of Indiana Jones and Tomb Raider, but still It's really original.

The Game is AWESOME! Buy it!! or i will do it for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The only minus in this game could properly be missing Multi-player. That would rock, or maybe it would destroy the game? Well everyone has different opinions about that! well as i said before BUY THE GAME NOW!!

I would just like to say that I really liked Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. It's a very interesting and an epic opening game for a legendary franchise. But with that said I got to say it's very outdated unfortunately. Respawns of the same enemies over and over again whether it's pirates or the military. Frustrating to play on the higher difficulties because you will be grinding through each section and dying a lot. Patience is key.

Boring two main antagonists and some odd species enters the plot. The main stars are Nathan Drake, Victor Sullivan and Elena Fisher. No other side characters come into play. Gameplay definitely feels sometimes like a chore to get through. Boat motorcycle sequences are going to drive you nuts. You can definitely see the age of this game pour through your playing experience. Puzzles are pretty easy but collectibles are hard to find.

Cliché brainwashing business man villain controls the story along with his hot-headed sidekick Navarro who's a complete thorn in your side. I'm playing on Crushing and it's a pain to go through considering how crazy difficult it is. Beautiful graphics, lush jungle life and unique environments. Cover is kind of janky you will find yourself screaming internally at your controller to move out of it.

I loved Nate's witty persona Nolan North does a fantastic job as the protagonist. Emily Rose and Richard McGonagle provide solid voice acting as the sidekicks for the hero. Pretty fast-paced game although a pretty lengthy one as well 22 chapters. If you love adventure titles this one is going to be of your liking.

Overall I felt the game was really good not without its issues but definitely a heartwarming story and nothing that you are going to regret playing. If you like heart-pumping action and solid journey of an adventure you are in for a treat. If you want to know Nathan's origin story well this would be the game for you start with.

7/10.

Pros:

• Great story and characters
• Simple but effective gameplay
• Great graphics (for the time)
• A-grade voice acting and animation

Cons:

• Has aged abit
• Overuse of enemy waves
• Bullet sponge enemies
• Some clunky gameplay
• Limited variation of environment

Verdict: The oldest Uncharted game definitely shows its age. How ever it's still a good game to get, just definitely the weakest out of the bunch.

8/10

Uncharted is an action/adventure game from developer Naughty Dog, and is simply a major achievement in gaming. Simply put, this game will blow you away. To delve into it a bit more, this game offers a plethora of action, adventure, and engaging characters. The voice acting is far and beyond anything in a game thus far, and the characters are just likable. The story is pretty basic for adventure, with some interesting details; but if you ever liked an Indiana Jones film, this is right up your alley. The action is top notch and strategy is a must when playing tougher difficulty levels. The AI is great and there's never a lack of objects to hide behind, enemies to sneak up on, or open areas to run into blazing. The adventure gives another dimension to game, constantly searching for the next cliff to hang onto, the next rope to swing from, and a total of 60 treasures to collect. It's really a blast to go jumping from place to place, climbing and swinging. You can hang on edges and cliffs while throwing grenades to deter enemies or shoot with precision. Don't pass this gem up.
