The most fun I've had on the PS3!!!

User Rating: 9.5 | Uncharted: Drake's Fortune PS3

Uncharted was one of those games that I had a feeling would be great, but allowed it to be overshadowed by a fellow pre-Thanksgiving game Assassin's Creed. That was a BIG mistake. Yes Assassin's Creed had some things going for it; style, beauty, and the ability to kill folks with knives, but what it lacked was (in my opinion) a riveting story, likable characters, and insanely fun game play. Luckily Uncharted has these elements in spades. Drake is the modern day Indiana Jones or He-Croft. He jumps off of ledges, shoots bad guys, and make being dirty and grimy look cool. But enough of all that. How's the game? In a word...Awesome! Like I've said, the first thing you come to enjoy is the characters. The voice acting is top notch and you are immediately thrust into a game that feels like a Hollywood movie. And the game is action packed and flows swiftly. No more squaring off before a long jump as you were forced to do with Lara Croft, no, you just run up to a ledge and hurl yourself off. And don't worry...Drake will make it. And what a great concept. If you have little need to worry about killing your hero, the more inclined you will be to just keep the game going. I still have nightmares the first time I threw Lara from a ledge...swan dive...splat!!!

Aside from searching for the lost treasure of El Dorado, I will not indulge in too much of the story. You owe it to yourself to pick this game up. So if you are contemplating Assassin's Creed or Uncharted, I will say without a doubt Uncharted. Assassin's Creed is a renter...please take my word for it. I spent 70 bucks on the LE version and took it back 3 days later. Uncharted: Drakes Fortune is the way to go!
