A fantastic adventure game!

User Rating: 9.5 | Uncharted: Drake's Fortune PS3
This was one of the first games I purchased for my Playstation 3. Being a fan of the prince of persia series and the tomb raider series I figured I would enjoy the game. The game was a great experience.

Storyline: I thought the storyline was great. It almost reminded me of an Indiana Jones movie. It has some great plot twists. Each character was very developed with great personality. Overall it was like participating in a great adventure movie.

Graphics: Polish, Polish, Polish. That describes it best to me. The world is simply beautiful with lush jungle enviroments. The level of detail was astonishing, and how well the Playstation handled it was probably the most amazing part. Through the entire game I never once saw a stutter in the framerate. With an enviroment that looks better than Crysis, that is quite an achievement. There were also no texture pops at all. The level polish on this game is top notch. The enviroments really make you feel like you are there with him in the jungle. The character animations were very fluid and life-like. The graphics in this game are the best I have ever seen on a console.

Game play: The majority of the game play was fantastic. But the gun controls prevented me from giving this game a perfect 10. I really enjoyed the puzzle solving. It really reminded me of the Tomb Raider games. And the cover system for gunfighting was very well done. However aiming at your enemy I found to be a bit tricky. That is the one thing in the game I just couldnt get used to. The climbing and jumping was a lot like Prince of Persia.

In closing I think Uncharted is a must-own if you have a Playstation 3. It really showcases the Playstation 3's capabilities as a system. The game borrows great elements from many great adventure games. All together it is an experience much worth the time. And the replay value is great.
