Uncharted is an action/adventure
game similar to the Tomb Raider series in some regard. It tantalizes
your senses with lush colorful environments with a magnificent musical
score. Throw in gunplay and narrow escapes straight from the movies and
you get a solid experience.
Graphics: Definitely next-gen visuals mixed with great artistic representation. It doesn't set the bar higher per say but isn't lacking in anyway either. The jungles are lush with plants swaying in the wind and spots on light breaking through the canopy. They did a great job depicting the Inca ruins also. The only slight issue I had was that some surfaces were overly glossy than what would otherwise be realistically dull.
Sound: The musical score was top-notch that added to the adventurous feel. The ambient sounds were solid as well. The voice acting was surprisingly good compared to what most games will budget.
Gameplay: Is a mix of prince of Persia aerobatics with gunplay. The puzzle solving was too light in my opinion while the gun fights can be frustrating due to the ability of enemies to withstand an unnatural amount of bullets to the chest. Headshots worked just fine by when it takes 5 shots to the chest to kill a stumbling foe, it can make the fight scenes much longer than they should be. This can be fatal to the good pace the game maintains throughout and is the main deduction in overall score
Longevity: One play through will be enough for most. This isn't an innovative game by any means but is great at what it does do.
Uncharted is a solid, quality game that has a cinematic movie feel to it. It's definitely a must-play game for anyone with a PS3 and actually broke me away from my 360 for a few days.
