About a year after the Playstation 3 launched, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune landed down and became one of the first games to really take advantage of what the PS3 could do. But beyond that, however, Naughty Dog has done a fantastic job creating a simple adventure game that's easy to pick up and learn and yet at the same time can provide a challenge.

You play as Nate, a treasure hunter who has just uncovered to coffin of his ancestor Drake. In the coffin, Nate finds a treasure map leading to the Lost City of Gold: Eldorado. He's got a journalist tagging along who wants to find a good story as well as a partner named Sully. Of course, Drake isn't the only one after the treasure. Throughout his journey he'll not only face the perils of the ruins he discovers but also have to battle pirates. There's nothing original about the storyline, but the characters are incredibly likeable--particularly Nate himself. The story and dialog within the story is also incredibly well written. As you get yourself into certain skirmishes Nate will also give his own commentary which is sometimes humorous. That's not the only thing that's humorous. Much of the dialog in the cutscenes is also funny. It's a game that knows it's clever but is careful not to rub your face in its wit. It makes a simple story all the more enjoyable.

Gameplay is pretty simple to pick up on and play. For the most part you'll be doing one of two things: Solving puzzles or participating in gun fights. When it comes to the games puzzles, most of them are pretty clever, but none of them are too hard. Some puzzles, such as the jumping puzzles, can seem a little threatening, but for the most part Nate does all the jumping automatically. All you have to be doing is facing the right direction and he usually lands a jump. This doesn't mean you can't jump too early, but for the most part, Nate is good at grabbing on ledges. For the most part, gameplay flows incredibly smoothly.

The other aspect of gameplay is the gun fights. Just about every gun fight plays out the same way. You hide behind an object, you pop out and you shoot at your enemy. You can carry two weapons with you at a time and each time you down an enemy you can have their remaining ammunition. While it seems like ammo would be plentiful, it's not really. Even if you manage to make every shot count your adversaries can take quite a bit of damage. Luckily there's also melee combat involved. None of it is hard to pick up and learn, though it's quite surprising how difficult Uncharted can be. In fire fights where you're surrounded on all sides it can be difficult to find cover to let your health recover. Not to mention you can run low on ammo. And despite the melee combat, it can be hard to pull off on a single enemy when you're being shot by three others. Despite that, when you get the hang of it and you know where to go to get cover, Uncharted can be fun. It can feel a little repetitive at times, but with the good mix of cutscenes that don't drag on and puzzle elements, there's a good amount of variety.

Likewise, you'll never find yourself in too dire need of trouble. The game is pretty linear for the most part. Despite all you can see in the environments, it's pretty straightforward. Should you find yourself lost the game will point you in the right direction. Just the same, the helpful prompts that remind you how to duck behind cover and how to shoot never stop popping up when it seems like your stuck. It would feel like the game was holding your hand if you couldn't turn these off, but you can and you're allowed to do things yourself. If you ever find the game being too hard or too easy, you can adjust the difficulty level on the fly.

The strongest aspect of Uncharted is without a doubt the game's stellar production values. It's quite possibly the best looking PS3 out there. The detail put into the world you're in is incredible. There's eagle eye attention to detail. When Nate goes into water and emerges, for example, the water is actually dripping off his clothes and they look damp and he'll slowly dry off. Not to mention that the lighting effects are fantastic as well. There can be slight dips in frame rate, but you may not actually notice them. The music is also fantastic as it fits the adventure well. Better than the music, however, is the voice cast. Every voice suits each character well but they also put a lot of good emotion into it and inject the right tone when it's called for. The production values are one of the reasons to at least check the game out.

While there will without a doubt be some who find the gunplay repetitive, at least the other elements keep the game afloat. If there was anything wrong with Drake's Fortune, it would be that the game is pretty short. Aside from that, it's a game that's worth checking out if you're into the Adventure genre.

"Best game for PS3 yet", This game was the ultimate for me. Puzzles, challanges, action, Acrobatic exploration, Fantastic Storyline, Fantastic dialogue and character development.

I am a Zelda freak and this game is right up there with Zelda OOT

Anyone who did not like either never played or is some kind of evil undead alien out to eat the souls of all mankind

"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.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"Moderate - Worthy of the Three", I found this game to be just average. It wasn't too short, but in my opinion not really long enough. It did get somewhat repetative and I had hoped for better puzzles - I was really disappointed with the puzzles. I did enjoy driving the jet ski and riding in the truck escaping - but to me those were the highlights.

Now, I almost gave this game 2 stars because of the plot twist that it takes. I couldn't get into it. I just didn't like where it went with the story. I know some people found it really interesting but it was an unnecessary twist that really, to me, just came off stupid.

The end was pathetic...so if you plan to buy just be ready to deal with a bit of a letdown. (I'd recommend renting.)

The game has little replay value in my opinion due to the fact that once you've beaten the game its just all the same ol' same ol' over and over. The only reason to play through again is to try to play at a harder level or get awards. Thats not enough to make me want to play it again.

As far as real length, I saw where one person took around 10 hours to beat this game...roughly the same for me. Wouldn't doubt that this is kinda the normal.

The fighting engine was good in some respects and bad in others. I fealt like Drake would take far too long to adjust his aim while holding the L1 button. I guess I'm just used to quicker movement. This was nice though for using the sniper rifle.

Over all, I started playing it on a Friday, didn't really play that much on Saturday (about 10 minutes) and finished on Sunday. By Sunday I fealt like I just needed to finish as opposed to actually wanting to. I'm finished with it now and will sale it...not a keeper in my opinion.

"Excellent Gaming Experience", This was an excellent game with a great story line, plot and pace. Buy it!! Graphics and control layout are also very well developed... Cannot wait for the next one.

"Great game", Great game for shooters, I enjoyed it a lot. The last chapter is kind of ridiculous, & game is too short. But all-in-all it's worth having.

"Excellent Game For All Ages", This is an excellent game, similar to Tomb Raider. Graphics and pretty good, not the best I have seen but good. The gameplay is fun with a good video storyline. For the most part it is kid friendly, there are a couple times when foul language is used but for the most part it is pretty clean. There is a lot of unlockable content on this game and they recently added trophies that you can win. There is no online gameplay.

"Great for a rental, but not worth buying...", This game only took me about 9 hours to beat and I took my time. If you're like most people and will play around 2 hours per sitting then this game is not worth buying. Once you've beat the game, why play it again? It has pretty good graphics and a great story line, but definitely not worth buying. Rent it from Blockbuster for $9, beat it, then return it.
