I decided to buy this after reading several reviews praising the graphics. This is an absolutely beautiful looking game. It's a nice action/adventure game with a nice mix of shooting/running/jumping/puzzle solving. None of the puzzles are too hard, and if you take too long the game will offer you a hint of what you're supposed to do next. The game moves along nicely between firefights and climbing/scaling walls to get to the next area. Overall the game is a little easy (for me). The shooting/aiming system leaves something to be desired, but it works. One shot kills are not easy, if at all possible in this game most of the time. It often takes 5-7 shots to kill an enemy, which is kinda lame. However this is not a FPS game so I should have expected that. But the real reason I got this game was because of the graphics and they do not disappoint. Beautifully rendered jungles and waterfalls bring this game to life. Definitely the best looking game I have seen on the PS3 so far. That being said, I can look past the quirky aiming system and movement controls. This game delivered on what I expected. A great looking game thats fun to play without being too hard. I'm only 2 days into playing it so who knows how it'll turn out? But I'm satisfied with my purchase so far. If I had to list my cons for this game it would be: Weak aiming system, Controls are a little slack sometimes, A few areas seem impossible while the rest of the game is a breeze so it's a little unbalanced at times. I would not buy/recommend this game brand new for $60, but if you can find it used for under $40 then pick it up.Read full review
Very vivid and realistic rendering, sometimes too vivid, when looking around for treasure artefacts. at any rate, the controls are very simple, at times you wish there was a 'lock-on-target' button, it would help if there was a 'strafe' function too. the weapons you are allowed to carry are a handgun, a submachine gun (or shotgun) and up to four grenades. this offers limited choice, but somewhat adds to the suspense of the game evolution and difficulty. the roleplay is quite simple and lacks in difficulty, the puzzles are very easy to figure out. If there was obstacles/puzzles like say in thePrince of Persia series, it would increase the feeling of reward in the game's progression. however, as the game is currently, it makes it more of a shooter than a role play/thinking game. Sound effects are good. Music soundtracts are excellent (a lot of thought gone into them). Stage design is pretty good, albeit repetitive at times. The plot is interesting but at times too predictable. Overall a good game experience, as expected of a PS3 title. If i knew before i bought the game what i have experienced having played it (if that makes sense) I would definitely buy it, as it has a good story and brilliantly vivid environments. The amount of shooting is significant and blood splatter is controlled, although I would not want my younger cousins (not yet 16 years old) to play shooting games, but it is much better than other dedicated shooters. Hope this is helpful. Best to all gamers.Read full review
Good: Lush jungle environments are stunningly realized; Drake's animations are nuanced and naturalistic; Good character development and voice acting. Bad: Tough and plentiful enemies can make firefights frustrating; Platforming elements can be too forgiving; Certain story elements are underdeveloped. It took us about eight hours to get through Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, and it was an action-packed eight hours, without much in the ways of load times or informational status screens to break it up. The imbalance between the gunplay and the platforming is jarring but forgivable--but the platforming itself works pretty well and looks fantastic thanks to the game's excellent motion-captured animation. If nothing else, Uncharted is a graphical showcase for the PlayStation 3, and it dazzles the senses at nearly every opportunity.Read full review
This game was for a PS3 platform. It was fairly simple to learn the controls and the game very well. I actually played this game myself. You got a lot of game play for your dollar. The storyline was good. The graphics and sound were excellent. The game is bloody and violent. Shooting zombies is one thing, blowing up "real people" is another. There were two points in the game were I had to seek professional assistance (my gamer son) to get me out of trouble with what appeared to be an endless attack by zombies. What I really liked was the "easy game mode" that provided hints if you didn't "get it" in terms of the games strategy. Further, if you were being relentlessly creamed by the bad guys, it would advance you forward beyond that point before you destroyed the Playstation in frustration. I hadn't played a video game "all the way through" in many years. This was a very enjoyable experience.Read full review
this game rocks! let me tell ya, best graphics i have seen so far on a ps3.This game is focusd mainly on the gun play, if you like guns well this game gots plenty of them, you basicly run around through each stage searching for the next clue.Your looking for the lost city of el dorado and you are not the only one on this quest,you will fight in alot of gun battles wich are preety fun,you get ahold of alot of weapons, my favorite is the one handed gernade launcher, just the way you hop out of a corner, fire the shot and see a group of enemies go boom! is enough for me .Drakes animation's are smooth and fluid, i like how when he gets pinned down and the guns are blazing and how drake ''the main character'' makes these little comment's like "oh crap" or when you are on your last clip of amo and he says "here we go" really ads to the realisim and mood to this game.The game is in 3rd person view and the hand to hand combat is not as fun as the gunplay but it has it's moments, i give this game 4 stars out of 5 because it doesnt have any multiplayer but if you can get around that you'll have a grand time.Read full review
