Uncharted: Drake's Fortune Review

By Gary Burzell
Late in January of 2008 when I bought my first gaming console, a Playstation 3, I asked some of my friends which games I should buy. I already knew I wanted any title with the words ‘Call of Duty’ in them as I had played and loved the first Call of Duty title when it came to the PC in October of 2003. In fact I think I purchased it the day it came out.

Some of the titles my friends suggested were Fallout 3, Dead Space, Oblivion: The Elder Scrolls and Madden 09 and many others. Of those games I did purchase I have to say Fallout 3 was my favorite game. However one title that was never mentioned for some reason was Uncharted: Drakes Fortune. When Uncharted 2: Among Thieves came out with raves reviews I asked, “if it is Uncharted 2, was there a first one?” Of course they said there was and told me how good it was.

Wanting to know the story of Uncharted before I bought part two, I recently I purchased a used copy of Uncharted: Drake's Fortune at Game Stop, and I wasn’t disappointed.

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune puts the gamer into the shoes of Nathan Drake who is treasure hunter on a quest for a really big Spanish treasure. Uncharted completely immerses you in its experience, and for the most part makes the gamer feel like they are a character in a really good action movie. You have to take on pirates, scales ancient walls, swing from jungle vines and solve puzzles on your path to unearthing the secrets of Nate’s ancestor Sir Francis Drake. Playing alongside you during the game is the feisty newswoman Elena, and Nate’s cigar-chomping buddy Sullie.
