Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune Review

As I already mentioned before, the puzzles are easy and Nate can’t die. I don’t want Uncharted to be frustratingly hard, but I also don’t want it to be mind-numbingly easy. I played through several of the first levels without having to think about how to solve the puzzles, because not only were they linear (as in: one and only one right answer) but L2 always gave the answer away. Since Nate can’t die it means that I run into the heat of battle carelessly and when seeing gray made Nate hide. Not to say that I could sneak in and plan my attack, because the damn camera prevents any attempt at sneaking around anyway!

Overall, Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune has an interesting plot, beautiful graphics, and exhilarating gameplay. Just a few bugs prevent this game from being a 5 out of 5, which is unfortunate because of all the other extra work put into it to make it great.

category rating comments
Creativity 4 Copies from other action/adventure/platformers before it, but interesting story
Graphics 5 Plastic Nate Barbie.  Beautiful backgrounds
Sound 4 Okay, but nothing notable
Longevity 3 So linear you probably wouldn’t be interested in playing again.  No multiplayer
Fun Factor 4 Camera pisses me off and game is quite easy, but geez it’s an adventure game and it is still oads of fun anyway.
FINAL VERDICT: 4 out of 5 stars

great Article. I found the same problems with the Automatic Camera. I got to the point where I cant see anything I am doing, and the game is more frustrating with the camera than even worth trying to finish the game. Old PC Version of Far Cry was far superior. I am not sure to toss this game or trade it in due to the camera issues.
