    Uncharted Drake's Fortune is a fantastic game. The story is interesting and the characters are likeable, the gameplay is good but by today's standards its average, but Uncharted Drake's Fortune is a gem and holds a special place in my heart.

    Gráficos ultrapassados, pode ser sim bons pra época, mas depois vimos que estava longe de capacidade do PS3, História bem mediana, porém jogabilidade divertida, esse jogo não é nenhuma obra-prima mas pode ser sim bem divertido, e no fim das contas esse jogo foi o início de uma das melhores sagas dos video games

    "Uncharted: Drake's Fortune" was a beautiful game for its time, encouraging exploration of the entire map with compelling climbing mechanics and well-hidden treasures.

    The rest? The one thing that kept me going for the first 80% of the game slapped me in the face after that. Anyone that introduces a random monster into the third act of an otherwise hyper-realistic environment, or setting, is a hack. So... the plot went off the rails for the final stages of play. The shooting is janky, though I will be the first to say all console shooting is janky for someone moving from PC. The climbing controls are clunky at times too, especially when coupled with environmental features that look scalable until it is too late.
    Adding a further gripe to the shooting, it is undoubtedly repetitive, but worse than that is that each shooting segment forces the player to be ambushed. This is despite their best efforts in attempting to spot enemies from afar or to play stealth-strategies... the game allows for none of that. When this style of play meets the *spoilers* zombies... the pacing of the game crawls. This may have been done to extend a very poor 10-hour solo campaign.

    I am relieved to have bought this on sale, after the hype, for $5, because anything close to recommended retail would've left a very poor taste. With the general lack of variety in its gameplay, content, unlockables, or replayability... "Uncharted: Drake's Fortune" was the epitome of overhyped.    … Expand

    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.    … Expand

    An awesome treasure hunting story with a perfect combination of great characters, good gameplay, and interesting puzzles. The pacing is very smooth and you will find some surprises near the end. What else is there to say? It’s a suburb game. Now go play it!

The biggest drawback for me was the shooting, it feels a bit loose and quickly aiming before bobbing back into cover isn't something I could successfully do by the end, vehicle driving wasn't the best but certainly passable and puzzle variety was simple and limited. For me none of that took to much away from the plot and it's twists which left me surprised more than once, the writing, characters and relationships are also a big plus so I'm delighted that there are another 3 Drake games to go at.… Expand

    With fantastic protagonists, fun gameplay, and an engaging story, Uncharted became a good reason to buy a Playstation instead of an Xbox. The remastered version definitely helps, especially for myself who owned an Xbox from age 6 to 21.

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

    The first part of Uncharted feels like a test game. Checking if the mix of platforms, shooting parts and puzzles fits well. His cinematic style feels very new in 2007, but ten years later is very outdated. The pacing is irregular, the action sections to uninspired, but in the end, it's a enjoyable guided action packed experience, despite his flaws.

    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

    I just feel like it is a bit too rushed for an introduction game to a series and could have more story by getting rid of some of the painfully long action sequences, which are way too similar to stay on the same level of entertaining throughout the game. Also, the supernatural twist, while surprising and exciting, wasn't executed that well. Overall, a decent start to the series and it leaves you wanting more.    … Expand

Уже на старте можно лицезреть неопытность создателей CB в жанре "экшен от 3-го лица", начиная с подачи истории и заканчивая уже первой перестрелкой. А всё почему? Потому что игру бросают из крайности в крайность! Она то пытается быть весёлой, то старается нагнать излишней драмы на происходящее. То хочет выглядеть как лёгкое приключение, то как мистический триллер с непонятной убивающей всех силой. И от таких американских горок можно было бы ещё получить удовольствие, вот только движение по рельсам, в виде игрового процесса, тупо не справляется с ритмом повествования, так как весь геймплей - это перестрелки с мелкими вбросами платформинга и решением головоломок, что зачастую в случаях, где лучше быть тише воды и ниже травы становится просто не приемлемым. Игра захватывает дух, только где нужно не даёт выдохнуть!    … Expand

    It is quite light and enjoyable game.
    Linear, sure, but story is pleasant to follow and watch (cut-scenes included).
    Game is technically well made and balanced. Controls are simple and feel quite natural. Variety of different situation, actions and places you go makes this game not monotonous.

The water effects surprisingly look pretty decent but other than that Uncharted does not hold up well in terms of visuals.The levels are also very bland and samey looking. Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune tells a serviceable story. The main characters Nathan Drake, Victor Sullivan, and Elena Fisher are funny and entertaining. They are well acted and turn an otherwise simple story into something exciting and action packed. The villains on the other hand are boring and generic. Uncharted tells a decent story but the main characters are what drive the experience. Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune gameplay is Ok by current gameplay standards but suffers in some departments. Uncharted is a basic 3rd person shooter where the player fights enemies, puzzles, and platforming. The shooting and fighting in Uncharted are a bit stiff but they control fairly well. The puzzles are basic and very simple where the player will consult Drake’s notebook for help on puzzles. The biggest problem with the gameplay in Uncharted is the platforming which is very stiff and frustrating. Nathan Drake will sometimes not register certain jumps or climbs causing the player to die unfairly multiple times throughout the game. Overall Uncharted is a serviceable game that has numerous problems in many areas showing that the game has not aged well in the coming years.

    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.
