Forums - Sony - I FINALLY got Uncharted : Drakes Fortune! (2 years later!)

I'm sure people will hate me for this, but the first game is honestly skipable. Crappy tacked on sixaxis controls, very short (6-7 hours for most people), and repetitive environments, puzzles, and gunfights.

It has excellent presentation but that's about it. The first isn't that great.

The second, however, is awesome.

Right, I 'm at the bit where I RECOVERED my map from the plane that was shot from the sky.......rofl the map was just lying there on the control bit of the plane, how fake!
__________

Impressions so far:

Graphics -- AMAZING, in the bit above the WW2 sub, on the waterfall, I just turned the camera & looked at the horizon.....it looked so amazing! Called my mum n showed it to her too......she thought it was a movie!

Technical -- hmm....definite framerate drops, already got a glitch (fell into the "mountain")

Controls -- Ok....after playing the Uncharted 2 beta, the controls seem inferior....my god Naughty Dog have improved on them. The grenade controls are a pain, so much better in the Uncharted 2 Beta!

Gameplay -- AMAZING......shooting stuff to make pillars fall, puzzles a dog can solve, jumping, running!

Ofcourse the bit that impressed me a lot was where the camera comes to the front & you need to run while these wooden platforms fall (thats in the first temple you go to).....AMAZING....reminded me of Crash Bandicoot 3 Warped & the bits where he had to run away from the falling boulder!

Story -- This is where it really shines. The characters are so real.....DRake is the height of cool, Sully is good (I doubt he's dead) & Elena is very funny

For example.....the scene where they ditch her was very well done. You got to see Drake & SUlly talking then the bit where elena's speaking to her producer while sully n drake wave at her & then when she says "no I don't trust them either"....HILARIOUS!

The music is very nice

Gave me the feeling of an "adventure" like no game other than the PS1 tomb raiders gave me.

Basically I felt it was a mistake to not buy it 2 years ago at full price UNTIL I saw that I had already finished 29% of the game.

Will continue it tomorrow!

So far 8.9/10!

All a matter of opinion. I enjoyed the first just as much as the second. Although with online it has more replayability.

Yeah I know, I'm not saying everyone else has to share that opinion. Obviously few do. I just wasn't really that blown away by the first Uncharted. It was a very good game, but had a lot of issues that were fixed in the second.



@leo-j
