Uncharted: Drake's Fortune on PS3 (2007)

Brez from Warrington [Highly rated reviewer] , 29/12/2007

Graphically amazing as long as you've got a HD tele connected!

Storyline is a cross between Indianna Jones and Romancing the Stone, and voice acting is superb.

It's been a long time since I played a game that actually wanted me to keep on playing just to find out what happens next!

Control is good but not excellent and this can be overlooked because saliva is dribbling out from your mouth as you gaze at the graphics!!

A simply stunning game which really shows off the power of the PlayStation 3.

Great graphics throughtout but the game does suffer from screen tearing a few times when played on a HDTV but these tears are very few and don't detract from what is a stunning game. The textures, lighting effects, character's faces and the backgrounds are amazing and it is one of the best, if not the best looking game I've ever seen.

The sound in this game is also A+, which great action sounds, the best voice acting I've ever heard in a game, immersive ambient sounds and a soundtrack that is of movie quality.

Because this game looks good, sounds good and has to an interesting and very involving story you'll find yourself playing it for long periods on end meaning the game could be finished in a few days. It's not a short game but instead one which will keep you stuck to it and make itself appear short when it really isn't.

There are also a lot of bonus features which encourage repeat play throughs. Some of these are gimmicks, ie changing the way the game looks or infinite ammo but some of the rewards are 'Making of' type featurettes and are very interesting to watch.

It seems the PlayStation 3 just found it's real 'must have' game and just before Christmas too.

Well done Sony and Naughty Dog.

its not often that i give a game 5 stars but ths is a rare game that diserves it. It is like being a kid again and watching one of those action movies you get reely fired up about then go outside and play it with all your mates!!!! graphics to rivl assassin's creed, gamplay that never gets repeditive dispite doing mostly the same thing and a script that is like a hollywood classic. (think james bond meets indiana jones)

The game was ok and was very challenging but was over to quick the reviews have said it would take over 20 hours I put it on hard difficulty and I completed it in 6 hours some missions you may have to do over and over due to the challenge’s and you die a lot but in the end after campaign theirs nothing left of the game besides from going back and finding hidden treasure witch can get very boring very quickly.

Paul from Pompey , 25/03/2008

Drakes Fortune is a highly visual, well plotted and credibly voice acted first person perspective action adventure/shooter/puzzle game. You play the modern day American relative of famous explorer Sir Francis Drake, and like him you are on the search of the famous El Dorado treasure in the jungles of South America. To find it you have to follow a number of clues, crack several puzzles and shoot and punch your way past literally hundreds of enemies. Along the way you get points for finding treasure and becoming a crack shot, these points unlock new options and difficulty settings. The story is straight out of Indiania Jones with a intriguing linear plot and a few nice twists. On normal level difficulty setting you will not get 20 hours of more captivating game play. Highly recommended, as close to 5 stars as I've seen on a next-gen console.
