A rather short but fun game with great pacing and game play.
You play character named Drake, a treasure hunter, who claims he the decedent of sir Francis drake. Your a treasure hunter, people are trying to get to it first. Whats a treasure hunt without someone trying to beat you to it? :P. Im not going to get into the characters besides the fact that they are all great,and very very believable. It shows off the ps3 power and uses great facial and body movement animation, the best ive seen yet.
The graphics are in fact, the best on any console. They may not look the most realistic...but they are the most pleasant to the eye, It is the best presentation of an island setting in any game, including Crisis. The minute you start up the game and watch the first cut scene and start shooting the baddys...your eyes will pop.
The game play is just as impressive, the platforming and jumping from ledge to ledge is almost effortless. The shooting works well, the cover system actually works better than Gears, in the sense you don't have a sprint button...so you never accidentally dive into cover.
The story and characters probably had the best influence on the overall game though...the story pulls you in, and is true to and Indiana jones feel...with more awesomeness in the mix. It has its twist and turns...and the characters feel real.
Now with the only complaints I have with the game. While the single player was amazing....it was a tad to short. Im glad they focused on single player....but the game was totally open to a good online multilayer. With the Island setting, all the weapons, and the graphics....if they did it right...it would have kept me from selling after I beat it. Sure, it has loads of unlock ables...but im not interested in those, they dont add on once you have already beaten the game. The other complaint...the game ends...when I saw the credits...I was so happy that they ended it right, like a movie would, but I was so upset that it actually ended.
Overall...the game is a blast, you will never be bored playing the game...and you wont want to put the controller down. Unfortunately...I cant tell you to buy the game...if you have the time to rent and spend 8-10 hours to beat it...go for it...because if you own a ps3...this is the game to play. If it was a movie, it would be one of my favorites, but thank God its a game, so I can actually play it.
