Customer reviews for 'Uncharted: Drake's Fortune'

This is what passes for adventure titles today...

Recommendation:
* If you want a first person shooter with slightly more story: this is your game.
* If you want an adventure game keep moving.

I played the first 5 chapters of this game -- and was bored to tears. There were very few puzzles and the solutions didn't make ANY sense. You get to solve such exciting puzzles as "locked door" and "how to get over there" over and OVER and OVER. Apparently the only problem anyone ever has to face on an adventure is what sequence of stones to jump from (how to get over there), and how to open a door. Frequently the solution to one of these problems will be to shoot and ignite a powder keg an enemy has left lying around for no good reason. The resulting explosion will create a path, or blow open a door.

By the 3rd of 4th chapter the game abandons any storytelling and just drops you into firefight after firefight after boring firefight. You will die a lot because you'll be low on ammo and the enemies just KEEP coming.

None of this is really fun. It's as if they wanted to make an adventure game but found out game design is hard and just went with gun battles instead.

The game has a few technical issues as well. The controls feel a bit clunky (but way better than say, little big planet -- so there's some credit). The other thing that drove me nuts is whats called "screen shear". This is when half of two different frames of animation appear on the screen at the same time. It's kind of technical why this can happen -- but I've *NEVER* seen a ps2 or ps3 game that had shear artifacts before. Some XBOX titles do have these and its one of the reasons I buy more PS3 games than 360 games!

Tedious

I don't understand the glowing reviews of this game. It's about 25% exploring and solving puzzles, and the rest of the time you are running from gunfight to gunfight. I didn't find the story particularly compelling either; in fact, the twist towards the end is pretty silly and changes the mood entirely. This is not a bad game, but now that I've finished it, I don't think I'll ever play it again.

Four and 1/2 stars, PS3's first homerun........

I'm a bit late reviewing this, so I'm gonna make this quick:

This game has some of the best graphics on the PS3. The gameplay is simple, but fun and easy to control. The dialogue (if you're into it) is funny, fast-paced and perfectly compliments the gameplay.

I think the only drawback (aside from the lousy speed-boat missions) is the the gameplay never evolves. The puzzles get more complex, but you're essentially doing the same things you're doing in the first mission. Thankfully this isn't a bad thing since the core gameplay is so much fun.

PS3 owners, this is a must.
