    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I played the Remastered version of Drakes Fortune as part of the Nathan Drake Collection on PS4. This is the first time I’ve ever played an Uncharted game and while the first game is definitely showing its age, and is quite frustrating in parts (such as the jet-ski sections and that damn final boss!) it’s still good fun. I really enjoyed the characters, humour and cheesy action movie style and of the game and I am looking forward to playing the future instalments.… Expand

    It's not has good has the rest of the uncharted games but it is fun to play. However the villains are underdeveloped and the plot twist at the end is way to sudden. The rest of the game is pretty good.

    Way overrated, with nearly non existent and laughable plot and some idiotic game level designs, atleast the first Uncharted is purely average.

    And most part of the game are these action parts, so the good Characters and the standard Indiana Jones Story isnt enough to compensate the lacking gameplay. There are to less riddles and to less climbing parts.

    All in all it is a solid Action-adventure which doesnt aged that well.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. El Indiana Jones de Sony, y la primer aventura del Ladrón saqueador de tesoros: Nathan Drake en busca del Dorado, la historia se trata de Nathan Drake un saqueador Ladrón de tesoros que va tras la pista del tesoro de su antecesor Sir Francis Drake que lo conducirá al tesoro del Dorado, junto a su amigo y mentor Víctor Sullivan y una reportera que será el interés romántico de Nathan Drake que se llama: Elena Fisher, y deberán encontrarlo antes que el rival de Nathan Drake, Eddy Raja y sus hombres, y también antes que unos matones que Sully les debe mucho dinero tienen otro ejercito llamados: Gabriel Román y Atoq Navarro; en cuanto a jugabilidad es un poco genérico el juego y recuerda a la ya vista en Tomb Raider y Gears of War, puesto que Triangulo es el botón de acción con el cual interactuamos con el escenario y cogemos armas y munición, cuadrado sirve para pelear cuerpo a cuerpo cuyo combate es el más simple de todos, círculo es para rodar en el suelo y cubrirnos en balaceras, con equis saltamos, trepamos y hacemos parkour, en cuanto al manejo de armas con L2 apuntamos y con R2 disparamos, con R1 recargamos el arma y con L1 lanzamos granadas (solo en la versión de Nathan Drake's Collection), con las flechas del mando podemos cambiar de tipo de arma la de la Izquierda para armas de mano como: pistolas o uzi y la derecha para armas largas como: AK-47, M4, Escopetas, Rifles Francotirador o Lanzagranadas, y hacer mención especial a la flecha de abajo que solo en la versión original de PS3 puedes seleccionar granadas y lanzarlas, y la flecha de arriba en la Nathan Drake's Collection sirve para dar consejos y ver cosas del escenario o ver para donde hay que ir, pero en la version original de PS3 en L1 o L2, no me acuerdo, y por ultimo con select (el Botón tactil de PS4 en la Nathan Drake's Collection) sacas el diario de Sir Francis Drake y su mapa para que te dé consejos y te ayude con algunos Puzles, en conclusión la jugabilidad es muy básica y genérica pero terminará entreteniendo tarde o temprano, en cuanto a gráficos estuvieron bien para el año en que salió en 2007 y mostraba la capacidad gráfica de la nueva en ese entonces PS3, pero hasta ahí, ya que los gráficos envejecieron un poco mal para tiempos modernos y los gráficos hace ver a los personajes como de plastilina y cartonados en tiempos modernos sin embargo tiene una buena iluminación el juego y se nota a la hora de perder salud ya que nuestro hud de salud es el color de la pantalla del juego, en cuanto más blanco y negro se ponga la pantalla más perdemos salud hasta morir, lo cual me pareció súper innovador la primera vez que jugué el juego en PS3, en cuanto a la banda sonora es el punto más débil del juego ya que tiene temas muy básicos, llanos y genéricos y solo destaco el tema principal del juego que el de Nate, en cuanto a dificultad es muy desequilibrada ya que en parte los tiroteos son muy difíciles ya que hay que darle como mil balazos para que se mueran los enemigos, pero en parte la parte de Puzles y acertijos es muy fácil y creo que la más fáciles de los Uncharted, lo cual es casi una decepción; en conclusión el Uncharted 1: El Tesoro de Drake es un juego entretenido y divertido pero peca de ser un poco básico y genérico.… Expand

    Первый анчартед я прошел уже после знакомства с 4 частью, и всё что говорили про первую часть подтвердилось. Для своего времени это конечно революционная игра, однако сейчас в нее играть уже становиться проблематично. В игре вас заставляют практически постоянно стрелять и лишь в коротких перерывах вы решаете, порой, непонятные загадки. Управление не оч удобное, особенно калили перекаты.Первый анчартед я прошел уже после знакомства с 4 частью, и всё что говорили про первую часть подтвердилось.

Действия персонажа чувствуются деревянными. Дизайн локаций в принципе сносный особенно для 2007 года, но из за его стремления к "реалистичности окружения" иногда промахиваешься и не зацепляешься за выступы, а иногда и стопаришься на одном месте и не понимаешь: куда мне б"я идти! Ставлю шестёрку, в целом кайф от игры получил.… Expand

    "Лучше поздно, чем никогда" - так я думал, заходя в эту игру в 2020 году. Заодно задаваясь вопросом: "Прошла ли она проверку временем?".... И да, и нет. Но обо всём по порядку.

Создатели использовали захват движений, поэтому вся анимация плавная и правдивая. По нынешним меркам сюжет простой, да и сама игра очень короткая, но не менее увлекательная. У меня ушло чуть больше 6 часов на полное прохождение.

    При этом играл на стандартном уровне сложности, и мне пришлось попотеть, особенно в последней миссии. Я даже боюсь представить, что там на высоком и выше уровнях сложности. Перестрелки реалистичные, враги умные, постоянно перемещаются, прячутся в укрытиях. Стоит высунуться из-за угла, как в тебе появятся дырки от пуль.

    Причём игра не всегда понимает, за какой угол ты хочешь спрятаться, на какой выступ прыгнуть, кривая камера также доставляет проблемы. QTE работает криво, появляется резко, временами не успеваешь среагировать, а если успеваешь, игра не засчитывает.

    Для знакомства со всей серией Uncharted, рекомендую сыграть в неё, но на низком уровне сложности, обязательно с оригинальной озвучкой, с русскими субтитрами.

    Naughty dog - прекрасный разработчик, который держит высокую планку качества. А в нынешнее время тяжело найти таких создателей. "Это, как искать жениха в борделе"    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. At this day and age, the Uncharted series has become synonymous with cinematic storytelling and third person action adventure. However, when Naughty Dog first revealed Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, everyone was skeptical of their ability to pull this off. Before this, Naughty Dog was known for franchises like Crash Bandicoot and Jak and Daxter, which were nothing like Uncharted. However, Drake's Fortune released to good reviews, and a promising start to an unexpected franchise.
    The initial premise of Uncharted is Nathan Drake and Elena Fisher have found the coffin of Sir Francis Drake, and when opened, the coffin was empty, except for a journal. This journal outlines a search for the mystic El Dorado, and you set off with a third friend named Victor Sullivan.
    The story is very fun and engaging, even with some horror elements that I most definitely did not expect.
    Even for a PS3 Launch title, the graphics of this game hold up surprisingly well. Part of this can be attributed to the fact that the version I played was the remaster on the Nathan Drake collection, but the original still looks good. Character models are good for the most part, with maybe a few sharp edges, but the facial animations are the most dated part of the presentation. The environments are beautiful, lush, and so full of detail it's hard to believe they were made in 2007.
    Exploring this game is a reward of it's own. It's just so cool to find a little nook you wouldn't have seen otherwise and you might even find a treasure, the main collectable of the game. The verticality of the level design is very fun, so it doesn't feel like all you do is walk on a straight path. However, the climbing itself, while not bad, doesn't feel very precise, and I had many deaths where I was very confused why I fell.
    That dated feeling also seeps it's way into the shootouts. While fun and engaging, the cover system doesn't always work, and I found times where I got hit and i couldn't figure out from where. One other thing I noticed that worked as a blessing and a curse was the lack of an aim assist. I played Uncharted 4 first, seeing how it came with my PS4, and I didn't get the Nathan Drake Collection until later, and I turned on aim assist, because I'm very bad with console aiming. However, because I was forced to learn to aim with Drake's Fortune, I actually felt like I was getting pretty okay. It forced me to learn a skill that I didn't have, and while I hated that at the beginning, I appreciated it as it went on.
    The A.I is in this weird spot where it is simultaneously ridiculously smart and incredibly dumb at the same time. The moment I would walk into a room, every enemy immediately knew where i was, and I always knew my position, even if I changed spots and the actual enemy models never saw it. A fun time to be sure, but a flawed one.
    The soundtrack is incredibly good, always kicking in when it needs it the most. It's varied and dynamic, with many different instruments that you normally wouldn't use in an orchestra.
    However, I do have one rant:
    CHAPTER 18 CAN GO DIE IN A HOLE AND NEVER COME BACK. THE ENTIRE TIME SPENT ON THAT BOAT WAS STRESSFUL, BORING, AND TEDIOUS. THERE'S NOTHING FUN ABOUT WALKING THROUGH A BUNCH OF HALLWAYS, ONLY TO BE JUMPED BY AT LEAST 3 EL DORADO ZOMBIES EVERYTIME YOU ENTER A NEW AREA, AND ONCE YOU FINALLY TURN ON THE POWER, EVERY DOOR OPENS UP, AND WAY TOO MANY MORE ZOMBIES SHOW UP. NOTHING IS FUN ABOUT THIS PART. Rant over.
    As the first try on this genre of gaming, Naughty Dog did a very good job, and despite it's flaws, it's a fun, exciting time. It established the groundwork for the sequels to take and polish to an absolute gleam.    … Expand

    Really slow paced at a times, with some cheesy dialogues, and sometimes it felt like it really only cared about the action rather than the plot. But I thought the overall story to be really engaging, and the game really had some clever moments. So I really enjoyed the overall game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Great start of a fantastic franchise. Outstanding graphics for it's time, great story, good characters, phenomenal soundtrack and a lot of fun puzzles made it one of the best games i've ever played. So the game starts really good, letting us know who's Nathan Drake and what's his past. Intro is well made starting from Elena's camera perspective then switching to Nathan Drake fighting with pirates. Prologue also stated what's the main plot point of the game - Nate and his companions trying to find El Dorado fighting for it with main villains: Gabriel Roman, Atoq Navarro and Drake's old friend Eddy Raja. The pacing of the game is pretty good changing from slow, walking chapters where you mainly solve puzzles, or the faster ones with action, set pieces and fights. Altough the pacing gets corrupted with a lot of unnecessary enemy encounter's which were pretty frustrating on everyone's first playthrough. And that probably the worst thing in this game, because everything besides that is at least fine. The puzzles were fun but kinda boring after some time, because you basically had the solution in your notebook for more than a half of all the puzzles. The gameplay in this game is meh. The aiming mechanics weren't the best, the enemy encounter's which i already pointed out are pretty annoying and a lot of gamebreaking bugs and glitches (which for me is fine, because i'm a speedrunner, but for normal walkthroughs it's bad). The enviroment and locations are pretty repetitive, because the game takes place mostly on one island which is just a giant jungle, although the soundtrack makes it less worse, because as in Uncharted 3 it matches the climate. The game is pretty short with about 7-9 hours of gameplay, but the game is fun overall so it didn't really bother me that much, because there was a sequel shortly after the first games release. But no matter the gameplay and other frustrating stuff we still have to appreciate that this game is the first entry in one of the best franchise's in whole gaming history. It told the story of these characters really well, and they did it even better in the sequels.… Expand

    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.

    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.
