30 Second Uncharted TV Spot

Wolfgang187 - 766 days 14 hours ago

Lawnman: This game is easily worth $60. Sure there's no online play, but everything that makes a rememberable single player experience just comes together in this game. The visuals might kill you (if you stop and stare too long). The story is fun and draws you in. And the animations and acting make the on sceen characters look erriely real. To me it plays like gears of war meets indiana jones. You're not gonna go wrong with a game like this.

Yes, Uncharted is worth $60. It's worth it more than crap like Assassin's Creed. A majority of the games coming out right now aren't worth the money. Uncharted is though.

Oh comon brotha. You expect people to take your "review" of Uncharted as Valid when you simply "went to a friends house" and played it? Sorry that's not how it goes. What if gamespot, egm, or god forbid Ign only "went to their friends house" played for a couple of hours then went home and reviewed the game for all to see. Would those sites gain credibility that way? No way! Here is my review.

I usually like to hold back on a review type of thing until i've COMPLETELY, completed a game (in this case beat it on all difficulties and unlock all secrets), but so far I can say it's supplied me with the most gorgeous visuals i've yet to see on any console game period and a sense of adventure I've yet to really feel during this new generation of gaming.

Now that's not to say the graphics are realistic, but rather so polished that it seems as if the level designers, tech team and those responsible for the art direction were in complete and utter synch to deliver what looks to be an unreal realization of what it truly looks like when concept art and actual in game graphics become one in the same. It's often i'll slowly walk by slightly holding down the analog stick in the direction i want to go so I can take in the scenery and absorb everything around me. The character animations and AI provoked me to play in a way where I wanted things to look as "realistic" as possible. Replaying certain sections and mapping out my strategy so I could recreate action sequences I have stored up in my head. In certain sections of the game Nate will even put his hands on objects just to gain balance or leverage. He'll stumble when you walk over something strange, and even put his foot on top of a fallen enemy if you position him right. This is the first in game character that i've seen react so well to the environment and it's a sight to behold.

On top of the visuals is the solid pacing that does a great job of keeping the player interested with not only variety in gameplay, but variety in environments. As soon as you begin to get tired of shoot outs your treated with a playground of ledges, cliffs, or ruins, and when your tired of that your given environmental based puzzles that show you your goal right from the onset. Which in turn gives you motivation to move on. From a sinking boat, to a lush green jungle, inside an abandoned war boat, and into flooded ruins, there's no longer a need to worry about varied looking environments because Uncharted delivers. And what does that lead me to? Level design.

Like i said above the puzzles supply you with motivation because you know what you need to get to, but learning and doing what you need to do is not only fun, but gratifying. Even more these levels are designed in such a way that even though it's linear, it seems open ended. Every area where a battle takes place turns out to be riddled with various objects for cover, and layed out in a way that each player can play the same area in the way they may personally desire. In some games you have extremely similar areas with different textures plopped down over them. With Uncharted you have completely different lay outs for each and every zone. Not only does this keep things fresh, but it really invokes the feeling that you really are a treasure hunter.

As a whole the game is an amazing experience that not only ps3 owners, but gamers as a whole should experience. It's blend of polished gameplay, stunning visuals, amazingly fun level design, and beautiful pacing not only improve on the 3rd person action adventure genre from days long past, but set a brand new bar that I can't see being passed any time soon.

PS. Without spoiling anything, the game gets surprisingly creepy/scary. So watch out!

Did you do the same as me and stare at the ocean and across the island just watching the view? I must have spent 5 minutes at times in the game just looking at the views, i'm only 66% done with is and I have never played a game that made me just stop to look at the view and be amazed.

Dude you have no idea I just hope you have a good HD tv or you will be missing out on so much beauty. My girlfriend who doesn't like video games couldn't believe I was playing a game. I showed her a part of the game where you look over the massive gap between one side of the island to the mansion and her jaw dropped. It's that breath taking to think someone created this kind of view on a video game.

Guys, if you own a 1080P tv, disable your 720 and 1080I settings. That is what gaming is all about. Uncharted in this setting is like nothing you've ever seen before. It's amazing.

My only real complain with it was... Well, 1 - it ended.. and 2. I think chapters 8, 9 and 10 just went by too fast. Chapter 12 is where the game just become something else. And I don't wanna spoil it for anyonewho hasn't played it. But the game takes on a dual role and it really does become even more of an epic. This is the must have game. You ahve to have this game, people. If you're not happy with it I'd personally send you 64 dollars "ha"

When Drake jumps in the water while inside the temple Zoom in. The lighting on the walls has a blue tint due to the light reflecting off the water.. Its just beautifully done. The in game visuals remind me of FFX (when Tidus and Yuna are in the water.)

You really cant say enough about this game. It is obvious that this game deserved a 10/10. Kinda sucks for fanboys of this era. Not being able to play this game is really missing out on the first game I would really call next-gen. This game, Call of Duty 4, and Mass Effect.

You think Uncharted is average? Do you even own a PS3? Are you a Halo freak or something? I don't see how anyone who has played Uncharted can say it's average. Just playing the demo tells you it's way past that.

F**k SpikeTV. No one will actually watch that crap anyway. Anyone who doesn't recognize the greatness of this game is in my opinion a moron.

I LOVE this game. Everything about it is awesome, and the only repetitive negative listed in the reviews, length, is mooted in my book because i'm already looking forward to playing through it again. There are so many unlockables and none of them feel like a chore to maintain either. THIS is playing beyond.

Zhuk, you must live a very lonely loser existence to become some xbot hermit being whipped by the MS suits for such ignorance. swallow your pride and rent the game and at least play it before you open your mouth. would it hurt? probably would.. MS probably sends electrical shocks to you everytime anything pro-ps is thought of
