Tech Gamer review Thu, 21 May 2009

Perfectly melding the worlds of Lara Croft and Indiana Jones, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune is a stellar action/adventure. With high quality writing and voice acting there were lots of little moments that made the game into an entertaining experience. Although I had to get used to the combat mechanics, the puzzles and presentation of Uncharted was immensely satisfying and breathtaking.

From the off the game can't help but impress with some stellar writing and voice work. All too often games fall down with wooden acting or poorly scripted scenes but Uncharted manages to tell its story with a matinee-like panache. Adding to this authenticity are the cut scenes which are mostly rendered with the in-game engine. This makes the game feel like a coherent whole rather than action and movie sections stripped together.

Family Gamer review Tue, 11 Sep 2007

Being in the enviable position of owning both a 360 and PS3, there isn't really a lot to choose between them. If the 360 has better online experience with the fully fleshed out live provision, the PS3 seems to be getting the lion share of the cinematic games. Having come from the likes of Heavenly Sword PS3 I couldn't help being somewhat shocked at the poorly scripted and synced cut scenes in triple A titles on Microsoft's system such as Halo 3 360.

Uncharted Drakes Fortune, is another game that further bolsters this dichotomy and keeps the PS3 edged in front when it comes to a watchable video game experience. We can dig into the details of the overall play experience in a bit, but the bottom line is that a game that is as much fun to watch as to play is always going to be a hit in our books.
