My PS3 adventure: Uncharted: Drakes Fortune

by nukesniper

So, having bought a PS3 earlier this week, I am starting to play the lineup of Sony exclusives that have eluded me as an Xbox and Wii owner. I bought a handful of games (more than I should) so I am trying to play them one at a time, rather than start playing Resistance 1 & 2, Uncharted, and Killzone 2 all at the same time. Resistance was first. That game was not so good. It obviously didn't age...

So, having bought a PS3 earlier this week, I am starting to play the lineup of Sony exclusives that have eluded me as an Xbox and Wii owner. I bought a handful of games (more than I should) so I am trying to play them one at a time, rather than start playing Resistance 1 & 2, Uncharted, and Killzone 2 all at the same time. Resistance was first. That game was not so good. It obviously didn't age well. I found my patience wearing thin while I played it, suffering through each level sometimes. Suffering is a strong word, but on some occasions, that is what it felt like. 
 
I just put in Uncharted: Drakes Fortune a little while ago and I totally love it so far. The Trophy support is a nice plus, but this game has STORY. Resistance was a simple, linear, shoot-everything-that-shoots-you game, and I became tired of it fast. I almost snapped and bought Uncharted 2 only based on what the GB guys were saying about it, but I was afraid I wouldn't want to play this one. So far, Uncharted is pretty darn awesome and puts Resistance to shame in every way possible. I'm sincerely excited to play more of this game, and I am now afraid I will buy Uncharted 2 for my own personal thirst for this quality story and character setup. It is just odd, comparing Uncharted to Resistance. I wish Sergeant Hale said more than 3 words in Resistance, but that is Resistance taking from Halo. Hats off to Uncharted for making me super excited to boot up my PS3, when Resistance failed to do so.
