Man am I disappointed by the first entry. The puzzles are outright stupid, with Nathan exclaiming "oh it probably has to do with the symbols" the moment you enter a room and with the charming but dull adition of Francis Drakes diary which creates the feeling of the developers holding the hard of a slightly retarded child and leading this child through tasks that are more similar to matching a cube with its corresponding shaped hole than an actual puzzle for grown people. Platforming is dull. The action is tedious, there is just too much of it and it is so dull and repetitive. The characters and the kind pf stupid but light hearted writing is what gives this game at least some points. This game did not age well... and I dont care. Nothing stopped it from being better.… Expand

    Worst game I ever played.
    Hate rate to this game is immesurable.
    Boring story.
    Messed up at 120% game mechanics
    Level design is bad
    Shooting is bad
    Platforming is bad.
    Played only for the story, but after that I realised - it wasn't worth it. Id better did that on youtube.
    I just hoped Id like the story more if I suffer through this damn game.

Бежишь стреляешь, стоишь стреляешь, сидишь стреляешь... детская загадка, опять стреляешь. Вроде нашел потайной ход, куда не ступала нога человека 500 лет, думаешь вау круто, сейчас что-то будет интересное в подземелье, заходишь за угол и... "Вот он, мочи его!" слышишь сразу от болванчиков с автоматами, которые любят пострелять в стену, и так всю игру. К чему спрашивается нужны эти загадки, если даже оболтусы с автоматами давным давно уже там. Более менее интересная концовка и музыкальное сопровождение, за это ставлю 3 балла, за саму игру 0.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Really cool game until they decided to add nazi zombies for some reason. Completely ruins everything about the game. I hope to someday find whatever the dev team was smoking when they thought that would be a cool and fun idea so that I can be so indescribably high and make the worst decisions of my life. This is the only review I have ever left for anything and probably ever will. Just can’t believe 1) that they would add that storyline and 2) that they try and drag it out so long. In conclusion, yeah just a terrible idea so whatever. Fun game I guess but that part just filled me with rage because why would you ever do that.… Expand

I am playing and rating a 2007 game in 2019 and the technological landscape had undergone a seismic disruption in the time between. But this is more like my opinion on how the game is holding up 12 years after its release. And my answer is simple: it's garbage. The invisible walls were prominent and felt out of place, the graphics was rubbish, the shooting was one of the worst I've ever experienced and the ledges that you're meant to use for traversal stuck out like a sore thumb. The plot epitomised the notion of a "big dumb action game" and I struggled to even find one good thing I could praise about the experience I've had. So if, for whatever reason, in 2019 or beyond, you're still contemplating whether or not you should purchase this game, my answer is "no". No you shouldn't. If, like me, you only wanted to play through Uncharted 1-3, in order to get a better grasp of background for the much acclaimed Uncharted 4, my advice would be that you save your time and money, and watch a couple of YouTube summaries instead. This was an utter waste of my time and I can say, with no shame, that I've already re-sold my physical copy of the shop where I got this from in the first place.… Expand

    I didn't hate this game, but I didn't find what everyone highlighted, it is a game with a boring plot, cliche, an excuse for the gameplay, which is repetitive until tired, and an excess of chapters that do not advance the plot, or stand out in its gameplay.

    So, I just replayed this game (beginning of 2018) and my vision on it matured a lot since a first played it in 2009.

    Uncharted is an OK game, considering when it was made, but many, many things could be better crafted even back then.
    The plot by itself is fine, but its execution it full of flaws. The game is cliched to the core. Every single cutscene is too predictable, full of conveniences and repetitive. You really feel like watching a 80's bad movie for most of the time. The gameplay mechanics didn't aged well. The gameplay is not fluid, you constantly miss jumps (>90% of my deaths) or get stuck on the scenery. The enemies AI is bad, they pop out on very predictable places and in a very high frequency. Constantly they do things that feels unnatural, like throwing a grenade right on your feet. And they are repetitive to exhaustion. The monster enemy pops out of nowhere in very inconvenient places in a frustrating way, it is not hard, it is annoying. On the last fight, the guy (i didn't care about his name) shoots exactly in your direction independent on where the gun's laser is pointing to. They just feel bad.
    The graphics may look like **** today, but back then they where top notch. The character movements and facial expressions are good for a 2007 game. The explosions, especially grenades, looks horrible though.
    But regarding performance, this game is bad. Very, very bad. Framerate drops are a constant as well as screen tearing.
    Uncharted deserves a 45/100, and that's being considerate of when it was made and the kinds of games that existed back then.    … Expand

    Background: I picked up The Uncharted Collection to go along with my Uncharted 4 PS4 Slim during this past Black Friday. I had limited knowledge of the series before playing it other than having been told that it was like an Indiana Jones version of The Last of Us.

I had limited knowledge of the series before playing it other than having been told that it was like an Indiana Jones version of The Last of Us.

    Thoughts: Uncharted is a third person action adventure game with linear game-play. The level design leaves some room to explore and hunt for treasures, but overall it feels constricted. The game-play consists of fair amounts of fighting a never ending supply of enemies and figuring out puzzles, but mostly it's killing wave after wave after wave of enemies. Frankly it became tiresome in some cases and my suspension of disbelief was tested on more than one occasion.

    It's atrociously paced, in-fact half-way through I switched from Normal to Easy mode in order to finish the game. Fighting the hoards of enemies with a few basic guns became frustrating. It's not until a bit past half-way through the game where the limited weapon options become upgraded. Fortunately at that point the story and pacing also pick up. The game becomes exciting and engaging - even if some plot elements are a bit silly.

    The puzzles aren't very difficult to solve, and even if you were to get stuck the game offers hints after a period of time. The puzzles aren't likely to hold you up so much as the massive amount of enemies will.
    Thankfully the controls are easy to learn, with a comfortable and easy to use configuration by default. Nathan is easily controlled and I can't recall one point of frustration caused by a poor camera angle or poor controls.
    The graphics show age despite being remastered, though they're perfectly suitable. The voice acting is great, as is the audio throughout the game.

    Conclusion: I didn't love this game, not at all. It's not a bad game by any means and it controls quite well, but it's boring for a good portion of time and some plot elements don't quite make sense. It's worth playing though and if you find yourself bored just switch to Easy and push through it quickly.

    Edit: Lowering the score in retrospect. This game just isn't good.    … Expand

    Judging by the slew of positive reviews i can only assume that either Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune didn’t age well or that this game was just not for me.

I’m leaning toward the latter and I think that’s OK, just note that I will be reviewing the game through my own bias. I’m playing this game in 2017 with no attachment to the Uncharted franchise nor the contextual era of gaming around Uncharted’s release.

    I found the combat mechanics to be very clunky and tedious. Guns felt like they weighed nothing, and enemies felt like bullet sponges. Enemies especially felt thick-skinned against weapons that I assumed were supposed to be more powerful and rewarding like the AK47 and M16. I also found the puzzles to be very simple, especially given Drake’s Diary which spells out the answer for you, making these less like brain teasers and more like job assignments. Platforming went surprisingly well, and there were only a couple of times when I wasn’t sure if the jump I was making was supposed to work or if I was just slamming Drake’s body against a piece of innocuous scenery.

    What really shines about this game is the writing. The light hearted adventurous tone was spot on, the game didn’t take itself too seriously nor did it try to be gritty and dark. I found myself engaged with the cutscenes and enjoying the witty one-liners and chemistry of the protagonists. If future releases keep this quality of writing while refining combat, I can see myself giving Uncharted 2 a more favorable review.

    As for Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune, I will give it a 4 out of 10. I would not play this game again nor would I recommend it to friends unless they really wanted to dive into the Uncharted franchise. Who knows, after playing it’s sequels, I may find myself needing to recommend it as a stepping stone into the world of Drake and his pals. The writing may have been entertaining but I don’t think it justified the boring combat and humdrum puzzles that made up the core of the game.    … Expand

The story is the only thing redeeming. I don't see what people see in this game must be fanboy goggles. There is no replay value.

    The final sum is far greater than the individual parts. Maybe you don't dig the combat or maybe the pop-in gets you down, but the overall package of an endearing story, outstanding score, great performances and fun gameplay should put this title on the top of your holiday wishlist.

    By starting with a great control and camera system, building on that with excellent combat and a wonderful spin on Ico's platform adventuring, and then topping it off with a decent storyline, Naughty Dog has cooked up one of the most relentlessly entertaining, fat-free games to emerge in ages. Topped off with the most stunning use of the PS3's underused technical prowess yet, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune is, for my money, the first must-have PlayStation 3 title.
