Excellent game, easy to start, depth of play
User Rating: 9.5 | Uncharted: Drake's Fortune PS3
I find Gamespot's score on this game puzzling with only an 8. I thought it one of the best games I've played. I agree with one of the criticisms that the alternating gameplay between platform and action are somewhat out of balance. There are action sequences that are far more difficult than any of the environment challenges. But my teens trained on Halo have no problem with them. The cut scenes are well done and mostly short, well integrated with the game. There are plentiful options to play the game multiple times. And the production value is truly cinematic. Also, the controls are quick to understand and use, not always the case with modern games. For parents, the Teen rating is well deserved. There is some language, a few graphically frightening sections, and the regular violence from the shooting sequences. I will allow my younger kids play a few of the chapters, but keep them from the more intense ones. I look forward to more PS3 titles from Naughty Dog.
