You play as Nathan Drake, a descendant of the famed explorer, as you hunt for the lost Treasure of El Dorado hidden by Sir Francis Drake. Graphically, the game is pure eye candy. Uncharted is one of the best looking games out there for PS3. The graphical style is a colorful take on real life. The textures, lighting and atmospheric effects are added to rich colors. The PS3 really brings the lush jungle scenery to life. Even the characters themselves seem so life-like and all this factors really bring Drake's Fortune to life. The gameplay in Uncharted is a kind of an exploration plus adventure game mixed with third person shooter action. The controls are simple and easy to use, and enemy targeting is also simple with the left trigger. Blind firing is also a feature that came in handy more than once and the shotgun was quite effective. The mix of shooting and exploring works did really keep me on my toes, and I found the 3D gameplay of climbing and shooting a welcome adjustment from the typical old shooters. A sense of depth and spatial awareness also seems to have been accomplished very well, with camera angles used in combination with very realistic lighting and shadows effects.
Uncharted is one of those games that's definitely greater on the PS3. The platforming, shooting and story aspects of it are something we normally don't get to see in other games. The fusion of all this elements creates an adventure that is unique and gripping. I would recommend this to any PS3 owner as part of their PS3 game collection.
