Uncharted: Drakes Fortune is created by Naughty-dog. Yes the guys who brought you Jax. This game however is not a Jax type game. Think Indiana Jones crossed with Resident Evil minus zombies. This is one of my favorite Ps3 games and has amazed me from day one. I won't go into the story but the game has a great story and balanced gameplay. Not much to keep you from playing and plenty to draw you back. From the beginning the first thing you see is the enviroment. This game is beautiful graphic wise that very often you find yourself just standing looking around. Nothing looks this good or as real that is out there. This game really shows off the quality and ideas that Naughty Dog has always been known for.
Scattered throughout the game are puzzles. These puzzles will never leave you searching for a long time but all make sense in the game. This may be the only drawback since none of them seemed too hard. I would have liked a little more challenge.
The action in the game is fast paced never letting you relax. Seems just when you start feeling safe someone suddenly breaks this calm. Don't get me wrong you are not always running but you never know when an enemy will pop up and suprise you.
Combat in this game is a joy giving you many opportunites to engage the enemy in 'Hollywood style gunplay' and can make you even pause and relish the great ation sequence you just completed with a mixture of fists and lead.
November 19 marks 15 years since the release of the Uncharted game that started it all.
I hope they don’t make another until the end of the ps5 lifecycle…. Show us a better jungle
VGChartz's Issa Maki: "I finally have a proper designation akin to what I've always referred to internally as 'the line that must be crossed' or 'The Line', for short – ludonarrative dissonance – the separation from a video game's story in relation to its gameplay. Why isn't PETA all up in Mario's grill for jumping on turtles and killing fish, or charging Samus Aran with the extinction of the Metroid species? Ever notice how fire has that habit of making bosses in Resident Evil stronger? Read on my friend, for I endeavor to imbue you with the ability to engage in basic queries concerning the concept."
KeenGamer: "Which Uncharted game is the best? Uncharted is widely recognized as one of the most groundbreaking and consistently great franchises in gaming. For both long-time fans and newcomers to this action-adventure classic, here’s a ranking of the franchise’s four main games."
Great list and great article nicely writen and explained. Although for me personaly i would put Drakes Fortune above Drake’s Deception and Uncharted 4 is absolutely my favourite of the franchise and number 1 for me.
U2 is the only game playable on crushing without causing a great amount of frustration. Not to mention just how much influence it had that they redid some of U2s set pieces like the caravan twice, and armored truck chase in U4.
I'd rate it as the following.
1.) Uncharted 2
(Close to perfection of any game I've played in years. Single Player/Multiplayer/Co Op all amazing.)
2.) Uncharted 3
(On par with UC2 multiplayer/co op wise minus the kickbacks [aka killstreaks]. I really liked the Lawrence of Arabia story.)
3.) Uncharted 4
(Single player is amazing. Multiplayer was meh. Co Op had potential. Absolutely hated the health revive system it slowed down the game way too much. Always preferred the fast pace action of UC2/UC3. Made it way more fun that way. Recoil was too ridiculous that most people in lobbies would only do hip firing, using power weapons and using that OP grappling hook to melee people after dropping them. Nobody wanted to revive anyone.)
4.) Uncharted
(It's the first in the series so it's hard to judge. Though I loved the story.)
Come to think of it, the step between Uncharted 1 and Uncharted 2 is huge. It goes from the weakest in the series to one of the best games ever made.
I think I'm going to play all of them again soon.
good detailing without giving away too much information about the story line.
How can you give "overall = 9.7" when none of the rest of the scores are above or equal to 9.7? The ups and downs are incomplete, and the review is poorly written. I don't mean to bash you, I just mean for you to improve upon your writting skills and critical reasoning to make better reviews next-time.
It'd be convenient to read a few reviews of the game before =)
bootsielon is right- whats up with the 9.7 when none of the categories scored that high
This review is a joke.
