Naughty Dog proves you can't keep a good dog down...
Story
Uncharted's story centers around Nathan Drake, a man essentially on a mission to find his ancestors "treasure" The Gold of El Dorado. Not to spoil any key factors of the plot, but a lot of twists and turns happens, but the way it is written, it never loses its main plot focus. In fact this game features some of Naughty Dog's best writing I have seen in a long time.
Graphics
Uncharted is a graphical showcase for the PS3. A lot of the environments centers around jungle areas, dotted with ancient ruins, but they are so impeccably detailed. There are some minor cases of pop in, but its only the small stuff, such as some shrubs, and bricks etc. But it's hardly noticable. Another highlight is the amazing amount of detail packed into the character models. The textures are some of the best i've seen in this generation, from Nate's outfit when wet, to the detail in the ancient ruins, its all simply stunning.
Sound
Naughty Dog has always had a track record for excellent audio, and Uncharted is no different. The voice acting is stellar, the voice work for Nate and crew, actually makes you care for them. Truly to file this under the story segment, the dialogue sometimes causes laugh out moments, especially Nate's inner monologues to himself.
The soundtrack features some great music, but i wouldn't go out and purchase the soundtrack CD. It mostly fades in and out, and doesn't seem to be a central focus in the game.
Control
Nate controls like a dream, thanks to lighting responsive controls. Similar games in this genre (Tomb Raider) always to me has stiff unresponsive controls. Here though the player is blessed with a great control setup, and quick response. Thankfully the game has sparse SIXAXIS control, the only times it is featured are when you have to balance yourself while walking on thin beams, and to fight creatures off that attack you.
Overall, Uncharted is a game very well worth the $60 price tag. Some people will find it too short, but i find it just right in length. And trust me, its well worth return trips. Simply put this game is absolutely stunning
