Uncharted: Drake's Fortune Reviews

Darkdesires

Its a shame that a gorgeous game like uncharted has a damn short single player story.

Difficulty:
Just Right
Time Spent:
10 to 20 Hours
The Bottom Line:
"Amazing"
I picked up uncharted because a friend told me "man the game its really great", and after watching some trailers I said "ok, i'll buy it" because it really looked good.

Gameplay:

Let's see, I think that uncharted its a mix of gears of war shooting and cover system with the platforming elements of latest tomb raider games. The gameplay its simple but its solid enough to make it a good overall experience. You also have a lot of weapons to use in the game. The mix of the 2 systems works pretty cool but there is nothing new about it, but it still deserves a 9.

Graphics:

I have just a few words to say about the graphics of the game, they are gorgeous, amazing... This is certainly one of the best looking games I have seen in my life.
10.

Sound:

Nothing special about it, sometimes reminds you of indiana jones movies. It as a good surround sound but every game i played in the ps3 has it.
8.

Lifetime:

The worst thing about uncharted its certainly its lifetime, you can finish the game in just about 6-7 hours, its really short and aside of picking a lot of treasures from the ground along the game theres nothing more to do in it.
7.

Overall:

The gameplay works perfectly but don't expect nothing you haven't seen before, if it wasn't for its short lifetime uncharted could have a better score (but hey, better short and good than long and bad right?). Even so its graphics make it an amazing game worth picking.
8.5

    Uncharted is a must have for fans of action. That said, the short length and lack of multiplayer can be disappointing. continue »

    Uncharted is a fantastic ride through a terrifically realistic thriller that succeeds on all new franchise goals. continue »
