A must play for PS3 owners
Despite his appearance, Nathan Drake is a not so ordinary man. He can scale large walls, perform jumps and react faster than most of us can only imagine. He can take down entire squads of well-armed men with only a T-shirt and jeans. But that is only when Nathan is at his best.
Every time you think you've got the hang of Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, Nate will die horribly from a fall, sniper shots, explosions, and plain gunfire. This is the only game where the AI has actually aggressively flanked me and often attempts to flush me out of cover to take me out. Occasionally there are cinematic moments of peril where you must hit a button within a certain amount of time or you get to watch Drake die. There's also times when you are literally killed by an exploding barrel because the AI saw you run by and knew it could kill you easily that way, and later in the game exploding barrels will even loveingly float towards you while you attempt to ascend rapids just to awkwardly kill you and make you start back at the checkpoint. Suffice to say, this is a game where you will die a whole lot.
Aside from the constant deaths, Uncharted is a refreshing game involving tons of platforming, minor puzzle solving, and plenty of dangerous encounters with modern-day pirates and a fun hollywood-style treasure hunting story with good voice acting. The overall experience is smooth and the graphics in particularly the water effects are fantastic.
