 This is what we expected when the PS3 came out December 15, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I've been a gamer for years, PC and console. This game is what I was waiting for when the next generation consoles came out. I usually sell games when I am done with them. Not this one. I've gone through it a few times. Graphics are top notch as well as the controls with movement and actions. The personality of the main characters work extremely well together. You don't want to see the game end. I can't wait for the next one.
SIMPLY THE BEST AND MOST FUN GAME I'VE PLAYED....EVER!!!!! December 13, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
What can I say about what I believe is not only the best game on the Playstation 3, but all systems, that hasn't already been said. How about if you haven't purchased this yet do yourself a great favor and purchase it now. I bought my copy in Dec. 2007 and paid $50 for it and thought I was getting a spectacular deal because at the time it was easily selling on the secondhand market for $57 and up. To see this game going for $30 smackers a year later would be an irresistible deal if I didn't already own it. The fact that it's holding it's value so well after a year is a clear indicator of what an amazing game it is.
I played through this game twice in one week when I first bought it. Since, I have played through it 4 more times. That's a rarity for me to play through a game that much. To sum this game in one word: FUN!!!!!!! Everything from the locales to the gunplay to the characters is phenomenal. The main character, Nathan, controls like a dream. What makes it so fun is the adventuresomeness of treasure hunting and exploring. Add in Elena and Sully as your occasional sidekick and you've got a summer blockbuster popcorn movie in video game form.
Replay value? Yep, it's got plenty of that. With several levels of difficulty(crushing be the most difficult....it will crush you to.....I finally got through it), 60 treaures to find, and 47 trophies to unlock you'll be at this one for a while. It's a fairly long game too. We're talking 20+ levels. I think the first time through it took me about 20 hours to go through it on normal difficulty, but I was taking my time trying to find all 60 treasures.
Diversity? Ditto again here. Many different locales you will visit all presented in beautiful detail. Some of the views in the game are breathtaking! Character models are sterling. Level design is brilliant. Vast array of weapons to choose from and use. Aiming is a cinch. Even got a couple of jet-ski levels and a jeep driving section to mix things up.
Sound? Got it going on here, too. Great voice acting and music round out this mega-awesome game. Superb gun sound effects! The character interaction between Nathan, Elena and Sully is timeless. At times they will make you laugh(great humor.....Nathan can be so sarcastic at times) and at others they make your jaw drop. Yes, there's a nice little twist in the game.
To sum it up, this is by far the most fun I've had with a game ever. It ranks in my top 5 games all-time. That may sound like a profound statement, but play through this game and you may see why I made that statement. If you need more encouragement to buy this game just look at the average score of 292 or so reviews right here on Amazon. We're talking a 4.7 average!!!! How many games can achieve that? Not many!
In short: GO BUY THIS GAME NOW! NOW! NOW! AT ONE HELLUVA PRICE AND HAVE A GRAND TIME!!! FOR ALL THOSE PLAYING THIS FOR THE FIRST TIME OR WHO HAVE YET TO PLAY IT, I TRULY ENVY YOU!!! I GIVE IT A PERFECT 10 OUT OF 10 OR A PERFECT 5 OUT OF 5 STARS!!!
CAN YOU UNLOCK THE PLATINUM TROPHY? GOOD LUCK......
GET READY FOLKS......THE SPECTACLE OF 2009 IS COMING.......UNCHARTED 2:AMONG THIEVES DROPS FALL 2009! IT'S GONNA BE AWESOME!
Suitability for younger players? December 13, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
There are some excellent reviews already posted, but the one thing I can add is the suitability of the game for younger audiences. There are two sides to the question... first is the content suitable, and second, is the gameplay reasonable?
As for content, I would say it's mostly suitable. There are a few curse words (which frankly could have been left out without anything lost to the game). But the words are few and far between, and they are muttered primarily by the characters to make them seem a bit more grizzled. It's definitely not anything like Grand Theft Auto IV, which is exclusively for older players. The game violence is not bloody or graphic, and the player's character never shows any signs of injury.
As for gameplay, Uncharted is readily handled by younger players. My 7 year old son had a little trouble initially when battling evil pirates and smugglers, but he quickly improved and can now do the entire game alone. The puzzles are simple enough to be figured out, keeping younger players from becoming too frustrated. There is also an in-game hint option that helps the younger player figure out what to do next or which way to go.
Hope this helps if you're trying to decide about purchasing the game for a younger player.
Please be kind enough to indicate if reviews are helpful.
Best Game On The PS3 December 11, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I have had my PS3 for about a year now. This is by far the best game on the system. I have had more fun with this game than any other. The replay value is very very high. Everything is fantastic about this game. It is not "another Tomb Raider" like some say. Nathan Drake is by far one of the best video game characters to arrive in the last few years.
 Moderate - Worthy of the Three December 7, 2008

I found this game to be just average. It wasn't too short, but in my opinion not really long enough. It did get somewhat repetative and I had hoped for better puzzles - I was really disappointed with the puzzles. I did enjoy driving the jet ski and riding in the truck escaping - but to me those were the highlights.
Now, I almost gave this game 2 stars because of the plot twist that it takes. I couldn't get into it. I just didn't like where it went with the story. I know some people found it really interesting but it was an unnecessary twist that really, to me, just came off stupid.
The end was pathetic...so if you plan to buy just be ready to deal with a bit of a letdown. (I'd recommend renting.)
The game has little replay value in my opinion due to the fact that once you've beaten the game its just all the same ol' same ol' over and over. The only reason to play through again is to try to play at a harder level or get awards. Thats not enough to make me want to play it again.
As far as real length, I saw where one person took around 10 hours to beat this game...roughly the same for me. Wouldn't doubt that this is kinda the normal.
The fighting engine was good in some respects and bad in others. I fealt like Drake would take far too long to adjust his aim while holding the L1 button. I guess I'm just used to quicker movement. This was nice though for using the sniper rifle.
Over all, I started playing it on a Friday, didn't really play that much on Saturday (about 10 minutes) and finished on Sunday. By Sunday I fealt like I just needed to finish as opposed to actually wanting to. I'm finished with it now and will sale it...not a keeper in my opinion.
