Uncharted 1 what's so great about it?

I really don't understand all the hype around it. I played the demo to see what the game is like, and I didn't find it much different from other adventure games. I'm not trying to bash the game or anything, but is there something I'm missing here? Maybe the demo just doesn't provide enough insight to the game?

You need to play the full game, the demo didn't do much for me but the game is amazing.

My friend downloaded the demo and I played it the first time with him... we both agreed it sucked. When I picked up my ps3 the following year and rented Uncharted to try it out...Wow, just wow. The story, action, cutscenes, environments, EXPLOSIONS...brilliant game. Do yourself a favor and rent it now before Uncharted 2 comes out.

Uncharted doesn't do anything great, it does everything very well

So when you play it you're just seeing very good over and over and over

The game doesn't have any real spikes of excellence but at the same time the game is completely missing lows that drag the game down

It's one of the most solid experiences I've played this generation

***Full disclosure, I'm 75% done with the game***

what are you guys talking about? the demo gave a good opinion about how the game is, anyways the game is ok, 7.5 IMO, way to over hyped

The demo does a horrible job at showing the game off

The game is very well done and it's a constant throughout the entire game

That means that if you just see the demo you're like "yeah nothing spectacular" and that's it. What you miss out is that while there's nothing spectacular there's also nothing awful or even low in the game.

The game's strength is how solid it is

I thought the Exact Thing. Thats Why im Holding out On Uncharted 2. The Story Is probably Much better, seeing as You only played the demo.

The demo doesn't do the entire game justice. The thing that is so great about Uncharted 2 is how it provides such a great compelling story and gameplay the same time. Not many games get both right. Everything about it feels right. If you got to play the full game you would easily see what is to love about the characters, graphics and overall gameplay. Its just a fun game. EarnMyRespect

do youself a favor and just buy the game i think you can get it really cheap used. you wont be dissappointed great single player. One of the best ive played actually.

7,5 !! say whaaaaat?...what games you rate 8-10?

It's really not my type of game, but I'm going to give it a try based on all the hype surrounding the sequel. The demo wasn't really up my alley, but I've learned to not always trust demos. I'm hoping the full game is better.

Your situation is like mine but on MGS. I played MGS Demo, didn't really like it but I know the realy legit game is much bigger and overall a lot better with the story.

^ If that doesn't get modded, then something is wrong with Gamespot...

lol yoko i wass thinking the same thing....

Some people like it some people don't. Is over hyped because most people liked, of course not like the whole world will like it.

I always thought it was a little overrated, its a fun game and should be played by most PS3 owners. I don't think its a must own though.

So would you guys recommend rent or buy?

rent.

but you have to play it, otherwise you'll never know

Why was tomb raider popular? Uncharted is tomb raider done better but with a dominate male character. Plus the graphics and gameplay is some of the best I have ever seen.

Because Laura Croft had a nice body?

I was watching my brother play it, and it looked awesome. I love adventure games like that. However, I was mad that there was shooting in it. I hate aiming on consoles.

Now I'm playing it, and it's great.

I don't know why it is. It just is.

I also hated the demo when it first came out then i rented the full game out of curiosity & fell in love with it

I don't think U:DF was overhyped . . . I think PS3 owners had a good time with the game and remeber it fondly because at the time it came out it was one of the only PS3 games that was both solid AND had a broad appeal. Since its release there have been a few games on both the PS3 and 360 that have surpassed it in the graphical dept but even fewer games released since then have gotten the total package right like U:DF did. Great voice work, fantastic story pacing(love the in-game banter between the characters), likeable characters, decent gunplay, gorgeous art direction etc, etc, etc . . .

The fault(why you don't recognise its value) does not lie with those who enjoyed it and wanted to spread the joy they had playing the game, the fault lies with those who bring too heavy a "criticism stick," to the game. Nathan Drake while not a wholly original protagonist is a wholly likeable one and therein lies the appeal of this game. Drake and his band of cohorts like Elena and Sully are interesting(as videogame characters go). At least that's the main appeal for myself and many others.

All I know is I bought it 2 weeks ago and I'm on my 3rd playthrough.

I didn't think it was brilliant, as for me, the gunplay was quite poor and repetitive. But its the characters, graphics and story which Uncharted so appealing.

Uncharted 2 looks a lot better in my opnion though ;)

eh, i didn't find this game anything special either. I got bored of it quite easily. But hey alot of people like this so i'm just weird :P

i've been meaning to get uncharted for the longest time. maybe i finally will, considering the sequel. but i don't play demos at all. they give pretty **** impressions of games these days, anyway.

The Demo is what hooked me. Its a movie like experience...great puzzle solving...great fighting, hiding tactics...fun weapons...all around AMAZING story. The graphics and music are TOP notch. What else do you need? lol

if you didn't like the demo i don't think you will like the game. the full game is just more of the same, pretty graphicsand decent gameplay (i guess?). borrow this game from someone or rent it, it just doesn't have enough replay valueto warranta purchase

You couldn't be more wrong my friend... Uncharted is more like Gears of War than Tomb Raider.

It's no valkyria chronicles.

It doesn't play like gears at all, other than the cover system. thats it!!
