Uncharted Drake’s Fortune

By Sandor Hugert

This is one of the best Playstation 3 games to have come out yet.  The whole game was exciting, but it was really short.  The story line kept you going throughout the whole game.  The game got really repetitive after the first few levels though, as you’re basically doing all of the same things from level to level.  The puzzles were extremely amazing to beat, but the action was usually really cool.  There was a wide selection of weapons you could pick up.  There cover system in the game was awesome, but it was an exact rip-off of Gears of War, which is fine considering that both games used the cover system in great ways.  The graphics on the game have to be mentioned, as they are by far the best graphics seen on any console right now.  It was absolutely amazing as everything was crystal clear and perfect.  The graphics were really the best part of the game, and the story line was also pretty good with some fairly good twists as you were going along in the game.  The voice-overs in the game were basically as good as a movie such as Shrek.  The whole game acted like a movie basically as the cut scenes were amazing and so was the voice-overs, but the main part of the game which is the game play just fell sort of short as you were constantly doing all of the same things.  I would still say that if you own a PS3 then this game is a must have for your system.
