So I recently picked up Uncharted: Drake's Fortune for my PS3 and I am loving it right now. The graphics are astounding. The music is beautiful. The story and voice acting is pretty entertaining. If you have a PS3, this is at least worth a rental. I admit it probably is not everyone's cup of tea. What surprises me is that it hasn't sold a lot. Here is a description for those who don't know about it:
The Drake's Fortune subtitle is a reference to the famous explorer Sir Francis Drake and his fictional treasure stowed away on the island. In the game, players assume the role of Nathan Drake, a treasure hunter who alleges to be the descendant of the famed privateer. It has been confirmed that Drake's Fortune is the first game in the Uncharted series.
Uncharted's gameplay is a blend between a 3D platform game and a third-person shooter. The player controls Nathan Drake. The gameplay involves using Nathan's skills to solve puzzles, which includes jumping gaps, climbing walls, and swinging from ropes. Nathan is seen from a third person view, and the camera moves over his shoulder when Nathan pulls out his gun.
Here is a little video of it in action:
So who's played this? Enjoying it as much as me? Who wants it? Who doesn't like it? Do tell =]
