    Uncharted: Drake's Fortune Review

    Uncharted Drake's Fortune is Naughty Dog's first game for the Playstation 3. In it, you play as Nathan Drake, a descendant of Sir Francis Drake and a treasure hunter, in search of El Dorado's treasure along with Victor Sullivan and Elena Fisher. While they are searching, they are attacked by pirates and trapped on an island. The plot continues in interesting ways that make you want to keep playing through, even if some the plot elements are cliche.

    The gunplay is this game is coverbased, a la Gears of War. I do have a few problems with it though. The cover mechanic doesn't always work. Sometimes you won't be able to take cover behind some things. I also thought it felt awkward to use grenades, which you aim by tilting the controller. Meelee combat felt fine. The other main gameplay element is the platforming, which is a big part of what Naughty Dog is known for. The only problem that I have with this is that its sometimes hard to tell whether something is a backround texture or part of where your supposed to go, leading to you falling to your death. There are also quicktime events.

    The environments in Uncharted are absolutely beutiful and the water effects are the greatest that I've ever seen in a game. The voice acting is good. But unfortunately the dialogue is corny sometimes.

    So, in the end Uncharted: Drake's Fortune turned out to be a fun game, despite its flaws. If you are a PS3 owner looking for a fun game its definitely worth checking out.

        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...
