    Naughty Dog use the PS3 to reinvigorate the adventure gaming experience, combining key elements that every gamer holds dear in a game that looks and feels like a blockbuster film. [Dec 2007, p.52]

    Uncharted is the best game Naughty Dog has ever crafted.

    Uncharted is a tremendously fun game and one of the best gaming experiences of the year. While it borrows heavily from other games in the market it's such a nice and diverse game that it's hard to find much fault with.

    We could actually say that Drake is the male version of Lara Croft, a good prediction to the beginning of a franchise that could be very interesting.

    Everything's fun and exhilarating, but it never builds to more than the sum of its parts. Just keep your expectations in the right place, and you'll enjoy your time in the tropical sun. [Holiday 2007, p.76]

    Problem is, when it comes to movie-style storytelling, Uncharted is more "Sahara" than "Raiders Of The Lost Ark."

    I am a blockbuster movie buff of Indiana Jones, National Treasure, Star Wars and Transformers. Not to mention a musician. And my typical typeI am a blockbuster movie buff of Indiana Jones, National Treasure, Star Wars and Transformers. Not to mention a musician. And my typical type of game is the movie games such as King Kong which came out a while ago, 24:The Game and most of the Star Wars Games along with James bond. But, the only games that came close to a real movie was King Kong and 24: The Game but Game play wise the games had a lot of problems with control. But when I heard About Uncharted Drake's Fortune in June of 2007 and learned that Naughty Dog was making the game it sparked my interest. Not only did I buy a PS3 this last summer not knowing wheather the game would be good or not. I also pre-ordered it and did as much reasearch about the game as I could. I used my thinking skills about how well this game was being made compared to some of our recent games that have come out such as Halo, CD4: Modern Warfare and other titles. I discovered that hey this game is going to be PS3's Halo game. Then when I played the demo gosh! The game is just as good as the Game previewers tell me and it well excieds my expectation. No to mention I don't usally buy games that depict blood but hey Indiana Jones has it so why not? The game play is wonderfull and the graphic possibly on par- with Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within(Movie) if not better. Buy this game it is worth it and all the reviewers who praise it are true and correct which doesn't happen much with a title such as this one. Sound is just like watching a Star Wars movie or even on par with the sound in the Transfomers DVD by Micheal Bay. It's the Halo of PS3 and it's not even rated "M" only T which may make is more popular with the younger crowd.… Expand

Addictive game that forces you to play it until you pass it. Combats are dynamic and occasionally pretty hard.
    Graphics are a bit outdated, yet still beautiful, but what the hell, it is a 2007. game.

    Demasiado copiado de Tomb Raider y poco original, también encima de todo muy aburrido el progreso del juego, la historia es muy cliché, aunqueDemasiado copiado de Tomb Raider y poco original, también encima de todo muy aburrido el progreso del juego, la historia es muy cliché, aunque Drake me cayó mas o menos bien, es un personaje sobrevalorado. Juego sin chiste y realmente creo que Naughty Dog merece desaparecer, Sony debería crear sus juegos sin ayuda de nadie.… Expand
