why does everyone love Uncharted so much?

First off, yes I have played the first one from start to finish and frankly, I don't see what is so great about it. It is a good game with decent shooting and puzzles, but it didn't really do anything innovative (Gears + Tomb Raider) and the twist in the story ruined any chance of the story saving the game. I don't hate this game (I would give 7.0-.7.5 range.) and I am here to gain insight as to way people think this is such a masterpiece. Educate me GS!

To each their own, I am not here to convince you, im here to talk about video games.

well its definantly not a masterpiece but it is a pretty damn good game

I dunno for me it has the same charm as an indiana jones movie or even the original star wars. classic cult action with great emphasis on characters. For me thats what makes a good story.

Because it's glorious, with a story that will stay with you long after you've finished it and characters that you just want to hug to your bosom. Uh, in a manner of speaking, of course.

It has a lot of things what people want. Puzzle solving mixed with platforming, and then full on action. It has a well told and interesting story, with memorable characters that keep you intrigued. Plus the graphics are amazing!

Uncharted is a great action adventure. From the gun play and hand to hand to the incredible exploring, looking for treasure hidden throughout. What makes this game so good most of all is the Immersing story that is enhanced by some perfect voice talents.

Good story, characters, and location. Crappy shooting, though, and sparse platforming. It came off like a poor man's blend of Gears of War and Tomb Raider. Unfortunately the sequels falls into the OH MY SHOOTERS ARE POPULAR pit, since everything I've seen demoed is all combat all the time. I was hoping for more of a blend of platforming and combat, with maybe more emphasis on platforming. Oh well, I guess I'm the only one who is burned out on shooters.DJ_Lae

It wasthe first time that I actually felt like I was watching a summer blockbuster movie and playing an awesome game at the same time. The level of quality of the story, gameplay, graphics, animations, character development, and AI was nothing short of excellent.

Sure, if you take apart each aspect of this game and evaulate them separately, you might say that it's good, not great. But this game epitomizes the phrase "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts." Few other games can stand on the same level as Uncharted in this category.

The whole package is a great piece of work. I loved the swarms of enemies that I had to carefully pick apart one by one, some of the puzzles and platforming challenges thrown at me, the summer-blockbuster-typestory (even with the twist at the end which helped to change up the gameplay a lot), with Drake as ordinary-guy-turned-hero and an appropriate cast of well-developed supporting characters as well.

The second and third playthroughs were just an enthralling as the first for me - another thing I can say about only a select few games. All in all, this is why many gamers appreciate Uncharted: Drake's Fortune.

its my favorite game on the console so far, just edging out MGS4. It is just such a well told high quality piece of gaming. The controls are very good, the enviroment is very lush and the characters are engaging.

The second game looks like its going to be great as well
