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.

Bad graphics compared to now, but overall a good game! This is my least favorite of the series but this is not at all a bad game, just not the best! A great story! My order of the game from best to worst:

Uncharted 4: Thiefs End Uncharted: Lost legacy Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception Uncharted: Drake's Fortune

Sully is the greatest character ever!!!

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.

The beginning to a legendary franchise. I don't play games as much as I used to, but I still sit down and marathon 1 - 3 every couple of years or so. These games are just so darn addicting. And, man, how about the storyline and memorable characters? Superb!

Sully is right up there in my top 3 favorite video game characters of all time!

I would not say that Uncharted is one of the greatest games of all time but there are moments in the game that makes one go wow! The Indiana Jones-like action game is packed with plenty of punch, or rather gun-fights since most of the times one is indulged in that.

Nathan is a very likable character who is perfectly voiced by Nolan North. He is passionate, adventurous and funny without going overboard and sounding cocky. Elena and Sullivan too have been given great roles as the supporting cast. A good thing with the game is that none of the voice actors, even the subordinate ones, sound bad or lazy.

The game play can be a repetitive in the beginning but later on, the tight story and the crisp action make up for it. The enemies are hard to kill (Its like some of them refuse to die!) but I liked it that way. Even on normal, the game was pretty unforgiving as I died multiple times on some occasions ( of course, once you get a hang of a particular task, its simple) but it wasn't as frustrating as the GTA games ( especially SA which took me a loooong time to complete without the cheats).

The graphics were superb though I agree with some reviewers that many components of nature could've been used in a better manner. The whole game takes about 10 to 12 hours to complete which is relatively short and I personally wanted to play more of it.

Overall, it fails to disappoint and stays impressive at all times! 8 out of 10.
