There are a lot reviews on this game, but I do believe I give one of the best. Read this if you want the real story.
The story basically involves the hero, Nathan Drake, looking for the lost city of El Dorado and its treasure. While the story doesn't sound very awe-inspiring, it does get pretty deep and the main characters are simply amazing and help move the story nicely (Especially Nathan Drake who is one of my favorite heros to date). The game will last around 10 hours and is good for at least 2 playthroughs.
The story is good but gameplay really stands out. Combat is somewhat Gears of War style where you run to cover, lean out, and shoot. This doesn't sound very fun but it really is (a demo is available on the PSN but doesn't really show how much fun some of the battles are). Naught Dog varies the levels enough so that it almost never feels repetitive. The only part someone might not like is how hard this game can be. My first playthrough was on the normal difficulty setting and I died..... a lot. I am now almost done with the hard difficulty and I've died a lot more (There is even another setting harder than this that would make most people cry). But somehow I usually don't get frustrated and don't mind dying.
The other part of the gameplay is platforming, which in most cases is easy and doesn't take too much thought or skill, but it is usually a nice break from fighting.
The game does offer some reasons to play the game other than just beating it. There are a set of "Medals" that are basically achievements that give you a certain number of points that unlock a huge variety of rewards like costumes, being able to equip weapons, and videos. There are also 60 "Treasures" that are found throughout the game and give you more points. But finding every one of these is a near impossible task.
Uncharted is a good game with outstanding gameplay, but some people might have a problem paying for a game where they might only get ten hours of gameplay. For me, there are enough extras to keep me going for at least 30 hours, but I know some people don't like going for the extras (but trust me, there are tons of unlockabales that just dare you to stop playing). There are very few problems, I never once had a framerate issue, and the graphics rival that of Gears, Resistance, Halo, Ratchet, and whatever other games you would like to insert here.
If Naughty Dog isn't going to make another Jak game, I am glad he is being repalced by a game as great as this and I am hoping for a sequel.
THIS IS A MOST PLAY GAME FOR ALL PS3 OWNERS!!!!!!!!!!!
(Even if you only rent it)
