Summary
Game Description
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune is a PlayStation 3 exclusive from Naughty Dog Entertainment. The best way to describe Uncharted would to say that it's like Tomb Raider mixed with Gears of War with a humorous, tongue-in-cheek overtone. Uncharted is an innovative action-adventure game for the Playstation 3, and definitely shouldn't be missed!

Uncharted is Amazing
I am mainly writing this in celebration of Uncharted 2. This game has some truly splendid gameplay elements that are core to any action game. The combat system is nearly perfect while still realistic and hand-tohand combat is innovative and rather awesome. With that being said, I believe Uncharted 2 could sport some new features to make it even better than it's predececessor. The only real boss in Uncharted 1 that is a healthy mix between button mashing and cover tactics. I feel like this should be expanded on and utilized more in U2. Also even though nothing beats bludgeoning people with your fists, that they could add new melee weapons(like that dagger things een in the U2 trailer) each with new combo attacks. Being able to sprint and new and improved vehicles would be welcome as the vehicle based levels in Drake's Fortune are fun, but not as awesome as the rest of the game. The final aspect that would make U2 the greatest game ever is multiplayer. Don't get me wrong, the writers over at Naughty Dog got it right, but it would be so much better if I could play Uncharted with a buddy. Competitive multiplayer would be welcomed and probably innovative as ever, but seems like a little too much to hope for. In conclusion...GET THIS GAME...if you don't have a PS3, run out and get this game NOW. Even after beating this game, you can still try to get the platinum trophy(have fun beating the game on expert) and the game is almost like a summer blockbuster.

Could be better...
I heard about this title, and I was pumped! It looked so fun! When I got it however... it was good, don't get me wrong. It was fun I acutally cared what happenend to Nathan Drake, it was so immeresive that I could barely put it down.
But it's biggest flaws are: It's already been done by tomb raider which ( in my opinion) Invented the genre. its short, REALLY short! by the time I got to chapter 19, my save data said I was 88% done!
In the end (SPOILER!!!) the feel shifts from tomb raider platforming, and intense shootouts, (that felt suspiciously like Gears of war shootouts) to something like resident evil 4, and it's not even in the horror genre! anyway I put it down cause I didn't like scary stuff (back then) and did something else.
But overall, I liked it, it's good where it set up shop. (It can curb stomp tomb raider anytime!) but it wasn't what ps3 owners were expecting from such a prestigious company (naughty dog) so it was fun but I advise this one as a rental.

A review of few words.
Buy this game. Now.
OK, enough joking. Seriously, this game shows off the PS3's potential and is almost flawless. The difficulty spikes in some areas, but it's never enough to make you give up on the game. Graphically it looks great, the sound's fantastic, the story is captivating, and there are plenty of reasons to go back and play again (for the sake of finding extra treasures, getting unlimited ammo, etc). Here's hoping for a sequel!

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune
It's no secret that the PS3 needs hits, and badly. That's why games like Uncharted are so important: They're not necessarily triple-A titles but if they're done right, they can give hungry PS3 owners something to tide them over until games like MGS4 finally arrive.

Yup, this is what Naughty Dog, of Crash Bandicoot and Jak & Daxter fame, has been hard at work on and very secretive about of late. And it is paying off. Uncharted is looking spectacular, and was the most-impressive and surprising game on display this week.
