Uncharted: Drakes Fortune...Kicks Indian Jones right in the Crystal Skull


People may ask..."Taylor why are you reviewing such an old game??" and my response would be fairly simple. Because its a game that is worth playing, buying, renting, watching, listening too, staring at, fighting for, running for an so much more. Have you ever played a game that felt more like a movie than a game. But it didn't suck. This game adds a factor that I haven't been interested in which would be the "adventure" game. I mean everygame has some kind of adventure factor. But it felt like an Indian Jones movie. The sad thing is this game was more realistic than the new Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull. Such a waste of...sorry off topic.


What does this game offer that might be different? How about the emense amount of detail in the environment that surrounds your character. Which the character is no other than Nathan Drake a treasure hunter who is set on finding "El Dorado". But as he gets mixed up in a weird love life and his best friend being killed and betraying him than actually saving him in the end for a giant twist to the plot. You have to go through fighting off treasure hunters who don't care about rules. They are ruthless hunters for profit, not for history. Well everyone in the game is about profit except some woman friend Drake befriends (I guess thats what you call it) during the game.


So after the story mode takes you on the roller coaster of treasure hunting you finally end up completing a journey so you can actually not be in debt by the people trying to kill you. But this enjoyable game has humerous moments, cheerful yet serious factor to the gameplay and some threatrical moments that make this game feel and play like your in a movie. One day I hope this game would be made into a blockbuster hit. But nothing feels better than playing in one. So for the final rating I give Uncharted: Drakes Fortune 4X Points out of 5. So if you own a PS3 or you know someone who does go buy this game or rent it because its deffinetly worth playing.
