  My Opinion: 2007 PS3 [exclusive] Game of the Year
Review created: 11/18/07
44 of 46 people found this review helpful.

I finished the game tonight on crushing and have concluded if you own a PS3, buy this game!!!!

While this game may arguably be one of the best games out on the PS3; when it comes to the PS3's first party line up this is probably the best PS3-exclusive out to date (even above Resistance Fall of Man...though Resistance is the better bang for your dollar if your PS3 has internet connection for multiplayer). So why is Naughty Dog's (the developer of this game and Jax & Daxter /Crash Bandicoot series) game so great?

The Pros:

1. The story is very original and feels very cinematic (many cut-scenes). If you've seen the movie National Treasure, it has similar tie ins to history to make the setting; which is off the South American coast in jungles, looking for the famed 'El Dorodo'(which in this game is a 500 pound golden statue).

2. Plot turns & twists. The game's story pivots around you (Drake) Sully, an old man who enjoys a cigar and local barflies, and Elena, a female British reporter who knows how to shoot film as well as a gun. The plot will involve you rescuing each of these members variously, or fighting alongside them. I will not offer spoilers, but the biggest twist occurs around chapter 18.

3. Graphics and gameplay. Apparently, Naughty Dog took four years to make this game; from the moment you start this is evident in the graphics alone; for PS3 owners this is a testament of the PS3's power (though this game only utilizes a third of the PS3's potential). The game does run at a smooth 30 FPS with some screen tearing issues present though nothing that interferes with gameplay. As per gameplay; this is a 3rd person shooter with some vehicle action (Jeep/Jetski). When you are on the Jetski; take a look at the water reacts...probably the best I've ever seen in any video game; not to forget how when Drake enters water whatever body part that gets soaked will dry off with time. As per shooting; there is maybe 20 or so weapons with melee combat optional with some of the best AI (artificial intelligence) and cover system I've ever played with. For instance on the hardest mode the AI will never hide behind cover and continue to pop out on the same side...they will change positions, pop out on different sides or advance on you.

4. Don't have an internet conection for your PS3? This game is perfect for those times when you can't play Warhawk.

The Cons:

Teen Rating: Parents be advised that the sh** word (frequently) and ah-le (once) word is used. Sexual jokes are made too. Personally I don't care about this, but concerned parents may be.

Multiplayer: None. Apparently, there will be a trophy for Uncharted when Playstation Home releases the trophy room.

Price & Re-playability: This is an excellent game, but if you're stretched for money, don't buy the game at 60 dollars, because with out multiplayer; after you beat the game which is approximately 8-12 hours (it took me 8 on normal and 10 on Crushing) you may pick up the game again to get all of the hidden treasures or awards...but if you're only interested in the story just rent it or wait until it comes discounted on ebay and half.com.

Overall: 9.4 I had fun playing this game...in no instance did I want to break my controller out of frustration like I did playing Sonic the Hedgehog (PS3). This is a great game to show off to Xbox owners, family and friends.

"Most fun I've had since Mega Man 2"
Hello Gaming Public and welcome to my first review for the PS3. Indeed my first work on gamefaqs.com period. I hope it is helpful if you are thinking of purchasing the game in question.

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. = Wow
Thats all I can really say. But even such a great game is not without its flaws.

Graphics: Graphically this game is the top of the heap as far as the PS3 power house... simply the best presentation to date on the PS3. Everything in the game from the seamless cut scenes to the animations of Drake stumbling through the jungle are wonderful. I can count on one hand how many glitches I found and even the camera work, (which is usually a problem even now a days in these types of games), was executed perfectly.

Sound: Not wanting to leave anything short the folks at Naughty Dog put just as much effort into the sound as they did the visuals for the game. The use of the odd instruments in the musical score was wonderful and really set the mood for each locale that you visit. Even the sound of ricocheting bullets as they zing past your head is in there. And the trash talking from the baddies as they taunt you during a fight? Too fun. The dialog is very well written and with great performances from the actors it really drives the story. One word of caution though: The dialog and cut scenes and the game itself was developed to give you the closest thing to an interactive movie experience that the programmers could give you. The dialog is no exception. Expect to hear mild language at different points and while its inclusion in the game did not bother me at all nor does it distract you from the over all enjoyment of the game, there are some of us who my be offended so be warned. All in all... when all elements are considered, the sound is top notch and perfectly compliments the masterful work on the visuals.

Controls / Playability: The PS3 controller is put to good use in Uncharted: Drakes fortune. The button configuration is easy to grasp and the controls are smooth as silk. Gone are the days of wonky controls for those of us who enjoy robbing graves and exploring caves. The SIXAXIS control portion of the game is well done although I did find it rather limited. Perhaps though some would think that less is more in this respect. All in all the control is kept relatively simple and easy to grasp for the casual gamer to come along and pick up in a short time.

Replay Value: Uncharted is not a long game by any means but it is very involved. From exploring every nook and cranny of lush environments looking for treasure, to trying not to get your head ventilated by a bullet from your adversaries you will be on your toes. The replay value of this great title comes from the fact that as you work your way through the story line you have different side objectives. The is a multitude of treasures to find that are hidden throughout the game as well as achievements to accomplish such as "100 head shot kills" or "30 Kills with a Brutal combo". Each of these tasks net you a certain number of points and as you earn points you unlock various things such as behind the scenes film clips, concept art or even cheats.

Bottom Line: Uncharted is a great game with a challenging adventure, engaging story, great visuals, and even greater sounds. A possibility of 4 difficulties and a plethora of hidden things to find and plenty of goodies to unlock, it will keep you coming back over and over.

After a pretty rough year with the PS3 losing exclusives and getting crappy games like Lair, PS3 owners have been waiting for something better than average to come out. Can this game finally be the ps3's killer-app.

YES. Uncharted is one of the best games I have ever played.

You play as Nathan Drake, a treasure hunter trying to solve the secrets of his ancestor Sir Francis Drake. After finding Francis's diary in his empty coffins, Nathan is led to an island full of modern day pirates also looking for the treasure.

Players are to scale cliffs and walls, swing on vines and solve puzzles using the Sir Francis' Diary. With mainly a mix of Tomb Raider and Gears of War, Uncharted is probably the most polished game I have ever seen. Drake flinches when he is almost hit with a bullet, he barely grabs onto cliffs, and he slips to the ground when running into cover. Every clip that you drop stays on the ground and does not disappear like most games. Your feet do not go through a dead body when walking on it. Drake's clothes get wet when going in the water. These are just a few examples of how polished the game is. There is also no loading through the whole game except for when you first turn the game on.

You can also unlock stuff like behind the scenes videos, different costumes, unlimited ammo etc.. by getting points getting 100 headshots , killing 10 people by hanging from a cliff, and beating the game. You can also find treasures.

Uncharted is a MUST buy for PS3 owners.


Graphics - 9.5/10
Some of the best graphics and animation I've ever seen

Gameplay - 10/10
Very fun to play. Crazy shootouts, cliff leaping , balancing on logs, sweet hand to hand combat and occasional vehicle sections.

Sound - 9.5/10
Low instrumental music that fits the game perfectly.

Presentation - 10/10
Amazingly polished ,very good cutscenes, music etc

Length - 8.5/10
Average length at about 8-11 hours. But with all the rewards and stuff I guarantee you will be back to play it more than once.

Overall - 9.5/10

I loved this game so much. The story is terrific. The characters are well thought out. The action is great. The puzzles are a little too easy to solve, but when you get started playing this game, you will loose yourself in it and wont be able to put your controller down until you've beaten it. And then you will probably play it again, cause its that much fun.

Everyone who have a PS3 must have this game!! Very well "crafted", its graphics is a pleasure to the eyes, and more important than graphics, it has a great storyline (I have not finished it yet, but I can not play anything else but Uncharted!)

Highly recommended!!

Uncharted Drake's Fortune is an great game with amazing graphics. The game has a few minor inconveniences such as the Jet-Ski vehicle is pretty slow and if you want to shoot you have to almost completely stop. Other than that seems like an awesome game if you own a PS3 this is a must buy!!

  A reason to buy a PS3
Review created: 01/19/08
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

If you have a PS3 you really need this game! If you don't, this is the strongest reason to buy one yet! I downloaded and played the demo and ordered the game the very same day! This game has all the adventure of an Indiana Jones movie and more!! If you played the first Tomb Raider games and enjoyed them, this game should NOT be missed. You will explore musty old ruins caves and cliffs, danger is everywhere, run gun and discover!! The gaphics are breath taking. I've never seen a game so drop dead gorgeous. The controls are tight and intuitive. If you like shooters or adventure games, look no further! A new bar has been set!!!

  PS3 FREE!!!
Review created: 12/02/07
1 of 15 people found this review helpful.

Get one for FREE!!!

Just take 2 minutes and read this. This is very EASY to do! It

literally takes 10 minutes to setup. Simply follow the steps below. I

promise you, this is 100% real. I wouldn't jeopardize my eBay account

status if this was a scam. My feedback is real and I will answer you on

any question! Here is what you do. Click on the link below, register,

pick an account type (referral is the easiest) and complete just 1

offer (Very important that you complete the 1 offer otherwise your

account will sit in limbo until you do).This is not like other sites

where you need to complete one offer on 2 or 3 different pages!!! And a

lot of these offers are FREE trials with nothing else to buy...No

commitments!!!

There are plenty of cool offers to choose from such as Blockbuster

online, Stamp.com, Netflix, Gamefly which are services you would

regularly sign up for anyways and their all secure networks, why not

use them to get a free PS3 System or cash (I did the Stamps.com for a

30 day free trial and it never cost me a penny and I received credit

for it the same day). Look at the offers and choose the one that works

for you. After signing up and completing your one offer, simply refer

5-13 people (depending on the FREE prize you choose) to do the same

under your link (just post the same thing as I have on eBay, and you'll

get your referrals before the auction even ends.)

Then they will ship your PS3 System or your selected item for free, No

Joke, 100% REAL!!! The reason these companies make money, is because

most people don't bother getting all the referrals. All you have to do

is post it on EBAY! They use us as advertisement by word of mouth which

saves them tons of money which goes toward yours and my free gift.

These are legit companies such as Blockbuster, Netflix, Gamefly etc...

You can copy my listing if you want. You must use your own authentic

link though. You will get your own personal link after your orders

placed. Go back into the original link and your person link will

appear.



Step 1: Click this link

http://www.YourPS34free.com/index.php?ref=4408958

Step 2: Sign up and chose an account type (Referral is the easiest and

best).

Step 3: Complete just 1 offer (like Blockbuster or Stamps.com) and

refer up to 13 people to do the same (use eBay! Do what I did, copy my

ad).

Step 4: Receive your PS3 System for FREE!!!!!!!!!! (Even The Shipping

Is Free!!!)


For proof that this is for real, click on the link below. It's the

company that is behind everything.

The game is pretty entertaining, especially the movie clips, its more like a movie than a game. With nice graphics and pretty good acting. Quite entertaining. By the end of the game you'll be asking for more not knowing you sent hours on it! I recommend to buy this game, along with the second one that just came out.
