I have been considering purchasing this game but I was just wondering what makes it awesome? It seems like it got okay reviews but the people that do like this game REALLY like this game. So my question is why?
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune
Game » consists of 11 releases. Released Nov 19, 2007
Become Nathan Drake, a treasure hunter and descendant of famed explorer Sir Francis Drake as he searches for the lost treasure of El Dorado.
So Why Is This Game So Good?
- Satisfying story
- Excellent graphics
- Great action/adventure gameplay
- Kind of like Indiana Jones: The Video Game. To clarify, I mean Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark: The Video Game, not Indiana Jones: Kingdom of the Crystal Skull: The Video Game
- Awesome plot twist towards the end of the game
- Trophies
- Cool music
Probably my favorite part of the game was just how well animated it was and how good the acting was.
I'm all about immersion, vibrant color design, exotic locations, top notch acting and an interesting story, which Drake's Fortune has. Though, be very aware that you get a lot of action in the form of shooting, while puzzles and platforming are secondary features of the package.
"The acting is top notch too. As well as the animations. Also the enemy AI is crazy."Yeah play the game on Hard and the AI is quite a handful! They really work together to kick you're ass!
I don't think it really is that great...it does a lot of things well, but one of the key features (shooting) is done horribly in my opinion. I think the shooting in this game is awful, but the story and presentation are fantastic. I think it's a must-play, but not a must-buy. I honestly can't think of any reason I would ever want to play through the game again...and no, trophies aren't going to do it for me.
like Heavenly Sword, its kinda like playing a big budget hollywood movie, the protagonist is pretty kick ass as he is an every man really and as previous people have said the animation and story are really good. Also recommend Heavenly Sword, is same price now and just as good.

I hate Sully.
