Uncharted: Drake's Fortune (2007 Video Game)

not nearly as good as other reviews say

[3/10 · 10 July 2018]

This game is not very good. The room after room of instantly spawning enemies just gets so tiresome that you are either glad to see something to do other than shoot everything, or too bored to really care. Sometimes that change is worse than the constant shooting. Most notably the jet ski bit where you are stuck going slow on a hi speed vehicle, which can barely turn or reverse, through narrow corridors with plenty of right angle turns to shoot sea mines and more bad guys with the only weapon with infinite ammo, a slow grenade launcher. Some enemies just get placed up on pillars with no way up too, so a melee attack is all but worthless assuming you could get close enough to use it. Constantly getting reset to 2 weapons is just infuriating. This mechanic has ultimately devalued every weapon since you don't even get to keep anything you have.The only real feeling of being Indiana Jones like is in the beginning before constant shooting actually happens, where you are going through ruins and find an old Nazi plane. Though that gets forgotten about in the first 10-15 minutes.
