A game that must be played if one owns a PS3; and if one does not then he/she would be missing out on a lot.
This isn't a game where your character is a superhuman or superhero but rather a usual human being who tries his best to adapt to the situation at hand. You play as Nathan Drake, apparently a descendent of Sir Francis Drake, who goes through a treacherous adventure to unravel the treasure that was once discovered by his ancestor. However, upon finding this treasure he realises that the treasure is far from a treasure, but rather a curse upon who opens it. And eventually finding himself in a position to prevent it from leaving the island. With Nathan is his friend Sully, a man with many unsuccessful deals, and his damsel in distress, Elena, who he falls in love with at the end.
Along with guns and rifle (M4 , AK-47, and many more) you have hand-to-hand combat, that comes pretty handy if you are out of ammo, not that you usually are. The loading time is almost instantaneous; between the times you die and continue, although when you start the game it does take a while.
So, this then in a nutshell is a game with futuristic graphic quality (making full use of the power of the Cell Processor of the PS3) and astonishing game play and story. A game that must be played if one owns a PS3; and if one does not then he/she would be missing out on a lot.
