Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune is a PS 3 game about trading in archetypes is evident throughout the story. Your character in the game is Nathan Drake who claimed to be a descendant of Sir Francis Drake. He is an independent explorer with an ironic sense of humour. His role is to hunt for an ancient artefact that is believed to be hidden somewhere on an uncultivated tropical island. The supporting characters in the game are Sully, your friend who is a cigar-chomping and troublesome and Elena, a TV reporter who divides her time between being your assistant and your damsel in sorrow. However, there are villains as well who are Nathan’s dry British counterpart and aggressive pirate captain. Nathan is a flashy-looking character in his filthy grey shirt and jeans. Most parts of the game take place in an opaque jungle environments and a diversity of ancient ruins. The advantages of this game are that the jungle environment s is attractive and Drake’s animations are truly naturalistic. Hence, the disadvantages are that the fire fights are simply annoying. Viewers commented on the storyline which is said to be too immature. While some players think that the game is adventurous as well as entertaining.

    Uncharted Drake's Fortune is a title that owners of the previous Sony’s console can’t let go. Adventure and action with some news is what has been missing from videogames world for a while; NaughtyDog hit the mark by giving us a wonderful adventure you’ll be able to complete in a dozen hours. But, don’t you worry, even if twelve hours look few, Uncharted has many secrets to be unlocked and medals to be won, living the game a good longevity level.... Read more

    Uncharted: Drakes Fortune is a rare treat for a console that is currently starved of triple A exclusive titles. A few problems don’t detract too much from what is an engrossing story and compelling gameplay. A definite franchise in the making. Read more

    It’s a rip-roaring adventure that you really will enjoy. It constantly pulls you on through the game and makes you really want to see things through to the end. Buy it, you will only be disappointed when it ends. Read more

    For anyone so minded it would be easy to take pot shots at Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. It's linear, it's derivative and it's not especially difficult. When you're playing it, however, none of these things matter, because it's just a great game and the closest you'll get to an action adventure film on your PS3. With a quest of around ten hours to complete and replay value provided by three difficulty levels, sixty small treasures to find and bonus material to unlock, Nate... Read more

    In the game, you play as Nathan Drake, a treasure hunter, who has to fight pirates, swing from wall to wall and solve puzzles. The game takes about 8 hours to complete on the first time around but it does have the best replay value of all the games on the PS3. The second time around you will be able to gain awards and incentives like unlimited ammo. The graphics are beautiful, some of the best I have seen on the PS3, also the soundtrack is very good. Another great part... Read more

    A bit of a boring shooter/platformer. You just run to one area kill everyone then do a platformer style assault course, next area is usually anohter killing zone. Gets repetative. i love shooters but this isn't all that good. I rented it and after an hour got bored and switched off. The graphics have nothing on other jungle based games like crysis. To be honest it just looks like a slightly improved far cry. None the less i'm sure some people will find this great fun.... Read more
