Video Game Reviews of Uncharted: Drake's Fortune
Customer Review: If you like the Tomb Raider series, check this one out. Not groundbreaking, but good.
Summary: 3 Stars
The Good:
- Immersive story keeps you interested. The cut scenes are well done with good voice overs and nice graphics. The treasure hunt story line has been played out recently (National Treasure movies come to mind), but it still makes for a fun game.
- Overall, the sound is good. The musical score is excellent and really sets the tone for the game; however, the sound effects fall short in some areas.
- Graphics a pretty good, especially the details. Water stands out as one of the best details. The way the light and scenery reflects off of it is amazing. Detailing on the buildings is also very good.
- Controls are easy to learn
- Game is a good length. It took about 9 hours to finish the game, and kept me interested almost to the end... more on that below.
- Nice selection of weapons
- Vehicle sequences add some depth to the gameplay
- Climbing, jumping and puzzle solving is fun
The Bad:
- Although the controls are easy to learn, they are very frustrating at times. It takes forever for Drake to turn around. Very frustrating, especially towards the end of the game where the zombies come in. Pressing Triangle to pick things up doesn't always work... you need to walk around, turn around to get it to work. Firearm aiming is decent, but not great.
- Some of the graphics are poorly done, namely the enemies. They just don't have much detail, the blood looks fake when you shoot them. Seems like not much time went into that aspect of the graphics.
- Enemy movements and motion is completely unrealistic... very arcade like. Time Crisis comes to mind, which isn't a compliment. The computer AI is also very basic. These are some of the dumbest enemies you'll kill in a video game.
- The amount of enemies you need to clear out gets ridiculous at times, they keep filing in. This is especially funny when they come in from an area that Drake had to scale a wall to get to... how did they get there?! Also, they have a "stealth kill" available, but there are slim to no opportunities to use it in the game. Seems like an afterthought.
- Zombies... seriously? For me that killed the last 15% of the game. They're stupid, hard to kill and there are a ton of them! It's as if they decided to throw in some poorly done Resident Evil action at the end.
- The puzzles are almost too easy at times
- The jet ski is very hard to control
