The jungle is alive

User Rating: 10 | Uncharted: Drake's Fortune PS3
To be honest the build up to this game left me a little cold and it wasnt one of my chosen favourites for the christmas period. However upon playing drakes fortune i have to say i was blown away by how utterly incredible this game was. The first thing you notice are the visuals which are easily the finest on PS3 to date, water ripples rocks shine and detail goes to new levels of intricacy that ive never witnessed in a videogame before. In fact id say this pips Gears of War for the all time graphics Prize, Its that good!

Whilst looking good is great the game plays beautifully its so much fun taking the pirates in the game down with a headshot (very satisfying). Drake can run jump duck and climb his way out of any situation and the whole thing feels intuitive and never becomes a drag to control. In amongst all the gamplay is a story which is fit to adorn any modern action film. This draws you in easily with the 3 main protagonists who are all likeable and quite often funny with it.

Sound in term s of fx is incredible with the 5.1 DTS pumping out crystal clear ambience. Lavished on top is the music score which sets the tone perfectly and sometimes scares the living hell out of you later on in the game.

All in all then this game is fantastic I truly enjoyed it from start to finish. Highly reccommended....! Game of the year easily!
