The character models are also somthing to brag about as the characters move realisticly with every turn run and jump that they make. The clothes ripple and crinkle realisticly with every move that the characters make.

You will hear water hitting the ground when it rains. You will hear waterfalls rushing out of or on top of a mountain. All these things are just the icing on the cake as everything else is so detailed and thought through.

This game is interesting. It has no multiplayer, a semi predictable story line, and the game play is similar to other shooter games. Yet it stands out among the rest. The story line, though slughtly predictable was gripping. The game play was great and was satisfying The graphics were far above mediocre and (the explosions especially) beautiful. I guess my only complaint is the lack of multi player!
It's "Tomb Raider" for the new century.

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!

I loved playing this game! I thought the graphics were amazing! I did however find some of the AI gun battles to be very hard, i think the game itself is great, i hope there is a sequel, but i cannot imagine this game getting any better!
Uncharted is far from original, but that doesn't say much.

Uncharted is not the most original game on the market right now.
Its crystal clear that much of it was inspired from games such as Gears of War and Tomb Rider, and even the storyline looks like a huge cliche from the big 'Movies Cliche Book', but that doesn't mean that Uncharted is not a good game. And even if its not that original, the simple fact that its the first game to combine Third Person shooter 'Geow' with quality platforming from a game like 'Tomb Rider', really does mange to bring some new stuff to the table and even create a whole new genre. Get ready to solve some puzzles, shoot some bad-guys and ugly mutants, and jump your way to wealth as you search for the lost Spanish treasure.
Storyline:
Instead of reading about the story you can just go and watch one of those adventure movies with the bad guy, the good cool guy, the pretty girl and the lost treasure. Still, there are some things worth mentioning. Thu the base of the story is pretty familiar to every action adventure movie fan, Uncharted does have some twists and changes to spice things up, but not match. I could end it here saying that the storyline is bad, but there is something that saves it: the way the story itself is deliver. The story is deliver in two ways, in-game when characters speak with each other, or through a captured movie seances. Both are done very well, with very high production values. The voice acting is excellent, the dialogues are interesting, and the captured animations are second to none int how natural everything is. So, even if its not original, its still a nice story, and the high production values will cover that originality lack.
Gameplay:
The game works and acts great. You get the whole adventure themed package here: You get puzzles, platforming, and shooting. The platforming parts are great, the whole environment feels natural and the animations are real so much that you get a sense of wight, and the shooting is nicely done featuring wide range of weapons, a good tight cover system and some of the best AI. The puzzles thou, are not that great. You don't need to put much think at those puzzles, in fact the game solves them for you so you basically just do what you are being told to do, but there are not much parts of puzzling so its not that bad. Aside from the good AI, there is also a surprise in the change of enemies in the last few chapters. I wont spoil it to you, but you should be ready for some intense, and scary action.
Sound & Graphics:
Its rare for me to say the the graphics actually give something to the gameplay element of the game, aside from looking nice, but Uncharted is one of those rare cases. Uncharted obviously looks great, but aside from those sharp edges, detailed textures, and very life-like environment with realistic shadows and shaders, there is the environment and the animation. For the first time in a platforming game, you will actually get the feel of weight and realism. Drake is not perfect; he cant jump very high, he stumbles many time, and feel slow from time to time, and that whats makes it good. The animations are just perfect int his essence, and the environment looks very realistic and alive. The sound on the other hand is not that reach. The sound effects are convincing and nice, and the voice acting is not bad either, but there is a lack of music. It feels like Uncharted music is not really special, and its kinda missing.
Vaule:
In its core its only 10 hours, but it have thropies and in-game extras to keep you busy after you finish the single player. The lack of multiplayer is disapointing.
Uncharted is a great game. If you like Platforming, Shooting, and looking for a good game for the PS3, you have to get Uncharted. Naughty Dog done some great job with Uncharted for the PS3.>
Uncharted Our fortune

This is the closest i've ever come to playing a freakin movie this game is great everything about it. I loved every minute for those of you that haven't played it yet i wont spoil it but there are a lot of twist and turns in this one some you'll see some you wont. some of the best graphic on the Ps3, the lighting is out of this world and some of the water effects are pretty cool a well, when you character gets wet his close remain wet after he gets out of the water for a little while it is pretty cool, all the attention to detail that went into this game. I think everybody owes it to themselves to play this game its tomb raider to the tenth.
