Jason Hill on Uncharted: Drake's Fortune - December 3, 2007: "Whether you are exploring lush jungles, ancient ruins or dimly lit underground caverns, Uncharted is one of the most visually dazzling PS3 games. It is one of the first must-buy exclusives for Sony's machine."
Endgame: A supremely polished and entertaining treasure hunting romp.
Ratings: 4.5/5
November 19 marks 15 years since the release of the Uncharted game that started it all.
I hope they don’t make another until the end of the ps5 lifecycle…. Show us a better jungle
VGChartz's Issa Maki: "I finally have a proper designation akin to what I've always referred to internally as 'the line that must be crossed' or 'The Line', for short – ludonarrative dissonance – the separation from a video game's story in relation to its gameplay. Why isn't PETA all up in Mario's grill for jumping on turtles and killing fish, or charging Samus Aran with the extinction of the Metroid species? Ever notice how fire has that habit of making bosses in Resident Evil stronger? Read on my friend, for I endeavor to imbue you with the ability to engage in basic queries concerning the concept."
KeenGamer: "Which Uncharted game is the best? Uncharted is widely recognized as one of the most groundbreaking and consistently great franchises in gaming. For both long-time fans and newcomers to this action-adventure classic, here’s a ranking of the franchise’s four main games."
Great list and great article nicely writen and explained. Although for me personaly i would put Drakes Fortune above Drake’s Deception and Uncharted 4 is absolutely my favourite of the franchise and number 1 for me.
U2 is the only game playable on crushing without causing a great amount of frustration. Not to mention just how much influence it had that they redid some of U2s set pieces like the caravan twice, and armored truck chase in U4.
I'd rate it as the following.
1.) Uncharted 2
(Close to perfection of any game I've played in years. Single Player/Multiplayer/Co Op all amazing.)
2.) Uncharted 3
(On par with UC2 multiplayer/co op wise minus the kickbacks [aka killstreaks]. I really liked the Lawrence of Arabia story.)
3.) Uncharted 4
(Single player is amazing. Multiplayer was meh. Co Op had potential. Absolutely hated the health revive system it slowed down the game way too much. Always preferred the fast pace action of UC2/UC3. Made it way more fun that way. Recoil was too ridiculous that most people in lobbies would only do hip firing, using power weapons and using that OP grappling hook to melee people after dropping them. Nobody wanted to revive anyone.)
4.) Uncharted
(It's the first in the series so it's hard to judge. Though I loved the story.)
Come to think of it, the step between Uncharted 1 and Uncharted 2 is huge. It goes from the weakest in the series to one of the best games ever made.
I think I'm going to play all of them again soon.
It's not one of the 1st must buy games... cause "imho" Lair, ninja Gaiden Sigma, Genji 2, Oblivion, Ridge Racer 7, Motor storm, Rainbow six vegas, Graw2, R&CFTOD and a host of others beat it to the punch... with that said... Uncharted is probably the best game I've ever played. It was amazing from start to finish. Everything had a level of wow added to it.The game played out like a motion picture you could control and the characters were just awesome.
Uncharted should be had by all. However, this is another near perfect score that'll never show up on meta or gamerankings... this makes the 11th review for the game that hasn't been posted above 90%. Go figure and people wanna tell me there isn't something going on... yeah, right.
and there are 12 reviews for rachet. one of which are this very site reviewing rachet.
so if they put this up for uncharted, then they just didnt put it for rachet
...
man, I cant believe how beautiful it is. Couldnt stop playing it. I cant find a single thing I dislike about the game. Naughty Dog knew exactly what went where. The details go so well together. And like many people have mentioned before, you sometimes just want to stand there and look at the beautiful sceneries. Highly recommended to everyone that has a PS3. Today I had to choose between buying Uncharte or CoD4, I chose Uncharted and no regrets, I am happy of the choice I made. I will still get CoD4 later on.
BUY IT PEOPLE....Please! It's too good to go without yet Assassin's Creed and Guitar Hero are beating it. I'm happy I got my copy but sad that Naughty Dog probably won't get what they deserve for making an awesome game.
