    This is easlily the best looking game to come out on any console this past year. It plays a bit like tombraider meets Max Payne.

    One of the most immersive games I have ever played with an incredibly realistic presentation. As close to a blockbuster hit as you can get. It's the little things that really make this game stand out (e.g. Drake flinches behind cover when shot, clothes get wet in water, etc.). A must buy for any PS3 owner/action-adventure fan.

    This is the first single player game that I've actually played through 4 times in a row for new unlockables that make the game fun. It takes me back to when Perfect dark had time limits set for cheats, but this time its attached to certain limits in killing and collecting hidden treasures.

    This is the first single player game that I've actually played through 4 times in a row for new unlockables that make the game fun. It takes me back to when Perfect dark had time limits set for cheats, but this time its attached to certain limits in killing and collecting hidden treasures.

    The one thing I like the most is that there is only 1 load screen for the entire game. (You can skip any little cutscene and you are already playing the next level without running into a load screen; Sure you may see textures load after skipping the cut scene but, it makes it a whole lot more fun to play it through.)

    the mechanics of the game feel like a simplified version of Tomb Raider and Prince of Persia, however you aren't sweating each jump to time it correctly or hitting a certain button to perform an action. you just run n' jump. Yes it is that simple, but very fun.

    The [cheats] you gain for your efforts makes the game more fun to play a second time.

    Overall this game next to Ratchet really "takes the cake."

    From the very beginning I knew I was going to love this game. Naughty Dog(the makers of my personal favorite game of last generation, Jak 2) have metaphorically hit another one right out of the park. When you realize that the movie you just watched is actually gameplay, you are hooked. GOTY for sure.

    This game is a diamond in the rough that is the PS3 game lineup. This one actually delivers on what it promised, unlike Heavenly Sword and Lair. Best graphics I have ever seen in a game and as fun as watching a supermodel on a trampoline. BUY THIS GAME because the PS3 is now a contender!

    To put it bluntly, this game is beautiful. To the thundering waterfalls and ancient fortresses you adventure through, to the subtle way the fabric of Drake's shirt shifts as he runs, your eyes are in for a visual feast that runs at a constant, smooth framerate even when the action heats up.

The extensive motion capture work Naughty Dog used on this title is evident in the way Drake an Co. move and interact with the environment, adding a level of immersion that goes overlooked in most games. However, in their quest to strike a balance between response time and character movement, the developers seem to have missed the mark. Platforming movements aren't seamless and tend to be too rapid to be believable, making things seem sort of canned. Technical elements of the story also stray a little to far from reality, adding to a sort of out-of-place feeling. The story as a whole is pretty solid and fun to play through though, and the time you'll spend having fun greatly outweighs the few discomforts. An excellent game overall. Expand

    The best PS3 game, period. Phenomenal graphics, awesome gameplay, and a story you wish they'd make into a movie. Uncharted has it all. If you're in the field for a Playstation 3, Drake's fortune should be considered without a doubt, and it will warrant that purchase. This is the game to play this year, it's that simple.

    You know, there are some flaws in this. Like the camera angles didn't always agree with me and the gameplay got a little repetitive but when there's a story that's this compelling, it compensates for it. The gameplay, though as I said repetitive, is remarkable. This is fun

    One great adventure game.
    Characters were interesting as well.
    No multiplayer mode, but the adventure sure was one hell of a ride.

    Gameplay wasn't that smooth that was all.

    I think that Drakes Fortune is an excellent game, and one that has a lot to offer most gamers. There is plenty of problem solving, adventure and "bad guys" to shoot at to make most gamers happy. Overall, I would say this is a "must have" for most gamers' collections!

    Love it. If you agree with the Onion AV club you are a tool! Negative reviews are from people who cannot play video games.
    I like the fact that the control scheme is complete. There are a ton of possible moves and the bonus potential is great. The modifications to the game based on rewards is really nice too. I am looking forward to playing Uncharted 2!

    Love the story, plot, pacing. For its time, my favorite game. I'd say a 10, but things have improved since then so much in its sequels. Either way, you owe it to yourself to checkout the first in the series as it is unique, and harder difficulty in crushing than UC2 and UC3.

    Tomb Raider meets Indiana Jones! I like the third person perspective for console games. (PC for first person) I am almost done with this one and have already purchased the second and pre-ordered the third. Graphics are good and action is challenging but not so much that it's frustrating. (I play on easy.) Great adventure game.

I was captivated with the story, Nate's up's and downs, his wise-cracks, the emotion that drives the story. It's so well thought out, and even better - is the way they put it all together.

    From the opening cinematic you are taken right into the combat methods, and shooting methods, and from there the climbing, running, jumping, aiming, shooting, the environment, everything, crystal clear, running so smoothly. I never thought a game could deliver on such a level.

    If you have a PS3, and you don't have this game, you are just missing out on one of the, if not the best game on the PS3 (maybe aside from Uncharted 2 :P)

I loved how the story was told, and unfolded because originally getting into the game, it just came with my PS3, I originally had no interest in it at all (I really followed through with getting my PS3 for MGS4). But after playing Uncharted through and through, on every difficulty and unlocking everything; Uncharted remains my favorite PS3 exclusive title... more than Uncharted 2. Expand

The game is fast, nice, a lot of exploring and shooting as well as platform sections with climbing jumping swinging etc. Plus finding all the treasures is also a nice challenge. Pretty easy to master for the Platinum trophy though 2 or 3 trophies are pretty hardcore :)

    All in All, for me this game is just absolutely great and amazing and I definitely recommend every1 that want to start the adventure with Drake to start from the first game as its just a must have and must finish the game in order to have 100% fun from other 2 parts of Drake's journey. Don't listen to trolls that say that the game is bad. The game is marvellous. Trust me and check it out.

    This game probably has one of the coolest story telling elements i've seen in a long time. Sure it's a cliche' but it's a cliche' of it's own! Has some awesome action packed gameplay moments, and a handfull of memorable (original!) characters. This cinematic game has more than your average share of amazing moments.

    Yet this game isn't without it's flaws. The environments become a bit repetitive at the beginning, but change as you progress. Also, your progression is delayed by difficulty bumps. The thing is that those delays are caused by the AI having a better hand (literally) enemies have the precision of baseball players when it comes to lobbing grenades! I kept on failing because of the damage caused by enemy attacks, a very few shots and you're a goner. I'm not bad at uncharted, but it seemed a bit unfair at some points. I was playing on normal BTW. There are a few other things I should mention about these bumps, but i wouldn't want to spoil anything.
    IN SHORT: Uncharted is an awesome,epic, and entertaining game that stays fresh all the way. you should not miss out on this fun!

    The story is excellent you never feel like every objective that you're given is out of place or even predictable, wich is surprising since you're gonna be doing only two things in this game. (in terms of gameplay) one is of course shooting a lot of stuff since you might have guessed it for the cover of the game and the second would be climbing a lot of stuff oh and resolving mini puzzles from time to time, even if this game mechanics may sound like they're not much, believe me they are so well done that you're not even going to notice how many of this are being used.
    Aside from that the story feels amazing the easiest way that i can compare how the story make me feel is probably comparing it to movies like Indiana Jones or James Bond 007, is just excellent you have all your elements, the cute girl that you can't wait to kiss at the end, your older extremely likable friend, the bad guy, and an even badder sidekick bad guy. What surprised me about this characters was just... well how important they were for the story at times they even felt more important that Drake himself.
    This is done by an amazing voice acting from everyone it just really adds a really cinematic style to it, having such wonderful voices in a game where the story and the gameplay is just beautiful.
    The only reason why im not rating this game a 10 is just because it can definitely become repetitive at times and the difficulty of the game is pretty unbalanced i mean normal just feels extremely difficult at times, luckily it can be changed at any time without any loading screens in the middle this was an amazing option that strangely enough not so many games till now have incorporated, but...
    In conclusion an amazing voice acting cast, beautiful stunning graphics, and a gorgeous combination of gameplay that so many games before had tried and have failed miserably with Uncharted: Drake's Fortune having so many good things done the right way i can just let this game get a lower score than nine.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is a fun third person shooter although it can be repetitive. You pretty much walk into an area and shoot 20 enemies. And it bothers me how Nate can get shot three times and walk it off, but its a video game so I guess I should stop complaining. The story was really interesting and at the end the story becomes friggin' I Am Legend because there are monsters trying to kill you and which was scary and fun. Overall, it was a great game. Expand

    A highly entertaining game for the first two-thirds, let down by extreme repetition and an abrupt upsurge of difficulty during the final laps.

    Easy to see the groundwork being laid for the sublime Last of Us series, though, and I very much look forward to playing the subsequent games in this franchise (Uncharted 2 being the one everyone seems to rave about)!

    Uncharted Drake’s Fortune is a game I could consider calling it a fun platforming action-adventure game that totally feels like a movie inspired by Indiana Jones and it is pretty amazing. No wonder why Naughty Dog decides to make a huge leap after the Jak franchise with this fun action platformer that started it all.

    There is one part in the game that completely changes from an action/adventure game to a horror game. That part was extremely frightening and that is always cool to see. Scary bits in other games than horror games that are actually scarier than most horror games are always great.

    One big minus that I really didn't care for was the blood-splatter that came out of the enemies whenever I hit them with bullets. It was too corny and unrealistic for my taste.

    What Kind of Adventure?

    Action-Adventure/Shooter

    Was it fun?

    I would call this game a pleasant surprise. In years past, I would look at a game like this and say, “oh theres a gun on the cover. I wont like it.” Now I have decided that I am going to try new games and new experiences and I must say that I am very happy I did.

    Are there any similar games?

    Soon, I might be able to answer this question but for now. I haven’t played anything like it.

    Favorite Character?

    I liked the Main character, Nathan Drake. He was a bad-ass who can do anything and he is a treasure hunter.

    Would you play it again?

    I think I would on a harder difficulty. I played on easy because I wanted to enjoy the story without being stressed out by the gameplay. But right now, I’d rather play Uncharted 2.

    Any Complaints?

    One, this game was made in 2007 so it was before the walking dead/zombie craze but I just feel like zombies are overused. I will say they did a good job with them though. I am man enough to admit they scared me a bit.

But the most sad that the remaster of a game lost much. In particular shadows became worse, lighting in dark space too.

Now with a Playstation, Uncharted made me happy I switched over and it's hard to look back with titles such as this (I kept my 360, though). Nathan Drake is magnetic and hilarious, and he elevates the story to great heights even with a 2-dimensional villain and fairly clunky gameplay weighing it down. I would have appreciated more stealth mechanics since this game is about an explorer going against an army of antagonists, but instead it sort of becomes a run-and-gun 3-d platformer. It works in those ways and while the gameplay is clunky and crude at times, it's easy to blaze through the story in 5 hours flat. Expand

    Fantastic game. The controls are tight, gunfights are fun, and exploring is awesome. The mixture of shooting along with adventuring makes the game into something fun to just pick up and play. The story is interesting with good twists so you never feel too comfortable.

    Para su contexto esta muy logrado. Aunque en algunos lugares los puzzles se hacen toscos porque apenas explican nada.

    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.

    This game is one of the most immersive gaming experiences I've had this year, and it's definitely a great reason to own a PS3. The mix of platforming and gunplay worked really well and left me craving the next title in the series.
  3. 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.
