    YES! Games like this makes you glad your with Sony.

    Uncharted drakes fortune is properly the best exclusive PS3 exclusive game yet. You are Nate Drake a modern day treasure hunter and are trying to hunt down the treasure of El Dorado. You start by finding Sir francis drake's coffin and find his diary. You end up on an island and your search starts there....

    Uncharted story is great as you progress through the game constant twists in the story keep you wanting for more. Is the treasure all that it seems.... The story is told by colourful cut scenes which work well and have great voice acting.

    Graphics - WOW. This game looks amazing. the jungles you are in look real with real colours, trees, leaves ground, sky there is even one bit where you see a sunset and I have never seen so good graphics on any game. 10/10 for graphics. The people are well textured and all look different from each other. A thing what did amaze me was when Nate goes in water he actually gets wet and you can clearly see it.

    Sound is great. Firstly the voice acting is good even if your enjoying it from cut scenes or just when wondering around. Another I loved in this game is the ramdom comments Nate makes during his adventure like 'What more, where do they keep coming from??' and 'Woah' and 'you have got to be kidding me' just things like that add to a game a great deal. You can hear all the usual jungle sounds and footsteps. The guns also sound good but could have been better.

    Gameplay. The gameplay is awsome and one of the best I have ever seen. Two main parts of it are puzzling and combat. Firstly puzzling. Way better then anything you have seen in tomb raider or anything like that. You can climb, jump and hand from a lot of objects and you have to find new ways round to reach different areas. secondly combat. The combat in uncharted is very unique. HUD is kept to a minemum with no health bar or rader which i guess is good and bad, however it works well. You can use almost anything as cover and shoot out at all the mercs after you. The AI is actually really good with them throwing grenades and flanking you if you stay in one area for too long.

    Uncharted is a game with great reply value. Once you complete it there are a whole bunch of reasons to play through it again. You may want to play it through again on a higher difficultly or to do things you didn't do the first time round. The reason i played it through agian and again is to get/unlock everything. There are 60 treasures to collect and medals and rewards to unlock which will keep you going for a while.

    Overall if you have a PS3 get this game, you can show it to your friends who have a 360 and go 'HA'. You won't be dissapointed. I think the only bad thing about this game is the gameplay is slightly uneven as it sort of goes: Combat, puzzling, conbat, puzzling, combat ect. and the game itslef could have been longer but other then that great!!

        Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune tells the story of Nathan Drake, a treasure hunter, as well as a descendant of the famous historical figure Sir Francis Drake. Drake and his friend, Sully, are chasing the ancient lost city of El Dorado. Together, accompanied by journalist Elena, they follow clues in the journal that belonged to Francis Drake himself. You can expect some plot twists here and there, and for the most part, the story is great. It starts off slowly, introducing you to the character...

      I wanted to like it more 0

      Uncharted looks great, there is no denying that.  The story is also decent, and the gun play is functional, so why don't i like it more?   Uncharted, for those who don't know, is Gears of War meets Tomb Raider meets Indiana Jones.  The influence from Indiana Jones is in the story, and that bit is really well told.  Nathan Drake is a great action hero and Nolan North really brings him to life.  I also ended up actually liking the obligatory love interest and the villains are suitably evil.  There...
