Uncharted: Drake's Fortune (2007 Video Game)
8/10
Great game
12 November 2009
I would not say that Uncharted is one of the greatest games of all time but there are moments in the game that makes one go wow! The Indiana Jones-like action game is packed with plenty of punch, or rather gun-fights since most of the times one is indulged in that.

Nathan is a very likable character who is perfectly voiced by Nolan North. He is passionate, adventurous and funny without going overboard and sounding cocky. Elena and Sullivan too have been given great roles as the supporting cast. A good thing with the game is that none of the voice actors, even the subordinate ones, sound bad or lazy.

The game play can be a repetitive in the beginning but later on, the tight story and the crisp action make up for it. The enemies are hard to kill (Its like some of them refuse to die!) but I liked it that way. Even on normal, the game was pretty unforgiving as I died multiple times on some occasions ( of course, once you get a hang of a particular task, its simple) but it wasn't as frustrating as the GTA games ( especially SA which took me a loooong time to complete without the cheats).

The graphics were superb though I agree with some reviewers that many components of nature could've been used in a better manner. The whole game takes about 10 to 12 hours to complete which is relatively short and I personally wanted to play more of it.

Overall, it fails to disappoint and stays impressive at all times! 8 out of 10.
