A great action/adventure game everyone should try out!
User Rating: 9 | Uncharted: Drake's Fortune PS3
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune is a fantastic game. It's about a descendant of Sir Francis Drake, Nathan, who is out looking for an ancient treasure once sought by Francis himself. As the story progresses Nathan stumbles upon clues left behind by the English in their search of the ancient treasure, "El Dorado." The story, while cliched, is really good and engaging and the characters are all very likable. The gameplay is really fun and there's never a dull moment. Nate has some pretty impressive climbing abilities and you're going to need to take full advantage because there are some crazy stunts you gotta pull on your way. It's fairly easy to climb things in the game, it's really two buttons O and X. Added in to the platforming is some pretty sweet gun play that can be rather challenging at times. There aren't many guns but the ones included are pretty cool and never get old because you don't have that much ammo. Along the way there are also various treasures (61 in all) for you to find which can be used to unlock rewards throughout the game such as costumes and different modes. The only gripes I have with the game are really minor and they aren't any reason not to play this game. For one thing you can't manually turn your flashlight on or off, Nate does it automatically at certain points in the game. This is annoying because some areas are very dark and it would seem obvious that you need a flashlight to see where you need to go. Also some enemies take a lot of bullets to kill and it's quite unrealistic and can get quite annoying at times. Overall the game is really good and I encourage anyone who mildly enjoys adventure/action games to try this one out. The game should take around 8-10 hours to beat on normal.
9.2/10
