A very fun adventure while it lasts.
Visually, the game is obviously a standout. Character models, water and lighting/shadow effects are some of the best I've seen. I never noticed any pop-in or framerate drops even during the most intense moments of the game. Character animations are also very good. That being said, I still think it looks on par with Gears of War 2, and games like Metal Gear Solid 4, Killzone 2, Crysis and more look better.
The soundtrack is very professionsally done, it's what you would expect to hear in a big summer action flick. So it's epic and very high quality, but nothing truly spectacular. The voice acting is excellent, and for added fun you can change the language to "nederlands" to hear a truly interesting language.
The storyline is almost entirely a super generic Indiana Jones ripoff until right near the end, where there's a pretty unexpected twist that I found to be very welcome. The characters are all very likable except for the annoying documentry chick who pretty much consistently screws things up and acts like an idiot.
Gameplay here is where the game strangely enough, both shines and falls short. First of all, the game case says that drake is "one ordinary man", which is a lie. He can leap roughly twenty five feet or more in some cases. He has no set distance that he can jump, the developers essentially make him reach whatever platform they want you to reach even if you couldn't jump half that distance ten minutes ago. So, the platforming is pretty much a joke, the only challenge being when you swing on vines because you need to find a certain spot depending on where you're trying to reach. The enemy A.I. is erratic, switching from stangely smart and even dodging bullets to being somewhat suicidal. Friendly A.I. on the other hand, is just plain stupid. The gun based combat is pretty fun, but hand to hand combat is broken and sometimes unresponsive. It's also a very fairly short game, I'm not what you would consider a skilled gamer and I finished it in around ten hours. Overall it's a fun but flawed experience.
Uncharted, despite all of it's flaws, emerges as a great game that is certainly worth your time if you're a Playstation 3 owner. Definitely a looker and definitely a lotof fun if you're into action platformers.
