PCN: Uncharted: Drake's Fortune Review - 9.5/10

PS3center.net reviews Naughty Dog's Uncharted: Drake's Fortune for the Playstation 3 console.

"The series is bound for greatness and will receive sequels. If you own a PS3 then you must play Uncharted: Drakes Fortune."

[shmee]

ps3 has strike gold with UNCHARTED,HS and R&C

[iceice123]

This game has no chance against Halo 3, Mass effect, Bioshock Forza 2, PGR4 or any other game for GOTY. Another average game for the flopstation 3 *YAWN*

Funny how the dead 360 outsells flopstation every month :) Funny how it has the highest attach rate and software sales of what, 50% for all 3 consoles? Yeah, dead. Meanwhile the PS3 struggles to sell, lets not even talk about the games sales...sad. bad-average games on the bottleneck 3 will not be GOTY. True games such as what I listed are. PS3, good as dead, jump in.

Oh and Nasim look what we have here: PGR4 http://www.metacritic.com/g...

Unchrated: http://www.metacritic.com/g...

Two marks higher, and PGR4 is the worst in the series right? Well UC must be trash:)

[BloodySinner]

Wishful thinking, nasim.

[shmee]

PGR4 has got 7/10 from most websites.

UNCHARTED will be the GOTY 2007

Most eu websites have denounced Mass Effect and dont bring that cartoon HALO 3.

typical XBOT defending dead360 aka GARBAGE BOX 360

Uncharted is the undisputed Game of the Year for 2007.

Graphics far beyond any other console game besides perhaps Ratchet and Clank

Amazing movie quality acting and story

Rock solid controls and gameplay

After just one year and the PS3 already has the greatest lineup of games for any system. And Sony hasn't really gotten to most of their big hitters that 120+ million people bought PS2s for last gen like MGS,Final Fantasy, GT, SOCOM, Team ICO and so on.

HAHAHAHAHAHAH u shud be a comic if u think games liek these shud get goty u must be on crack coccaine

[Lord Cheese]

lets think about your statement shall we.

Struck gold with uncharted, heavenly sword, and r&c. Right, well:

Uncharted - i can't comment too much, i've not played it, and no matter how hard i try, the damn demo still wont work (eu demo and a us ps3 arent friendly it seems). However it looks like it has some potential - best exclusive game so far based on the reviews i'd say.

HS - MASSIVE DISSAPPOINTMENT. Graphics are great, voice acting and cutscenes are brilliant, gameplay...erm....just too samey. Bash button-bash button-bash button, followed by frustrating six-axis nonsense. Rinse and repeat. Its not bad, but it tries to be god of war, and there are almost no games that can ever come close.

R&C - Superb fun, but dear lord, i cant remember an easier game. It was over so quick i felt short changed to be honest (despite never laughing my ass off at the disco-ball thingy)

I dont think any of them deserve game of the year. That has to go to bioshock. NOT because its on the 360 (i dont see any reason why they dont just release it on the ps3 as well), but because its the most unique, athmospheric game of the year. So many interesting ideas, awesome plot, tremendous graphics, critically acclaimed by basically everyone...

These games all have good points (as i say, i've not played UC yet - once i'm done with mass effect i'll trade my copy of AC in for it i think) but they arent really killer apps. Fact is, the ps3 still lacks a game thats going to shift systems. Say what you like about halo 3, its gonna shift consoles - m$ made sure of that with the advertising it put behind it - that doesnt make it a better game than whats available on the ps3, but its definately a killer app for the xbox cos it'll shift units - thats what the ps3 needs and doesnt have right now. Hope it gets one or two in 2008, my games collection is getting a bit lop-sided.

Dude, Heavenly sword gameplay was just too samey? You mean like for a hack and slash all you do is hack and slash. Like in an FPS game all you do is shoot stuff? Then you complain about the change to gameplay using the Sixaxis because it's frustrating? I think you need to learn how to use the Sixaxis controller... The Cannon and Bow levels were a joy in HS. Download Super Rub a Dub, will help you learn how to use a next gen gamepad.

Then you go on to say that Ratchet and Clank is too easy. Yet you think Bioshock where you absolutely cannot die should deserve the crown? Bioshock was an awesome game but it had a glaring fault in that there was no penalty WHATSOEVER for screwing up. Let's take a Big Daddy out with a wrench.

I know it's your opinion but your argument against the games above is flawed.

[gamesblow]

Oh, look... more 9's + that'll never show up on the % sites. hahaah.. What a piece a' joke! Waitin' for those Gametv R&C reviews to show up on those "trusted" % sites, along with 9 other reviews for the game that were all 8.5 and 9 +... Same sites reviewed the game that review xbox 360 games, only those get added to the mix. Bias much?

[shmee]

CNET owns GAMESPOT

and CNET is owned by MS

so what do u expect.

Those sites expunge all the bad reviews of x360 games including all the EU reviews.

all the PRO X360 websites are counted but PS3 advanced,psu,ps3 center are not counted in the METACRITIC /GR average

[solidt12]

another great review

[mesh1]

WHAT DO U RETARDS EXPECT ? its from a playstation mag 1 that actaully owned and sponserd buy sony thus its not on metacritic/gamerankings uncharted is a pile of pooo

[nix]

just like you. a poo.

[HeartlesskizZ]

I never had fun looking at the environment until UDF came out =)the water
and the living trees are so photo realistic and the combat system is sure
one of my favorites so far =)

[greenenvy]

not knocking the game, but a 9.5 or 9.6?

no...not even close.

uncharted can deal with a 9.0 but anything different is just more of the same paid off padded **** we're used to seeing........

uncharted is not as good as halo 3, and there's no way in hell halo 3 is worthy of 10s.

i'd give the halo 3 , half life, bioshock catalog of games 9.2 and thats it.

9.0 to uncharted or ratchet but more like 8.5 in the end.

short games, nothing deserves a perfect padded up review anyway. and I hope the whole 10 scale dies off personally so that real reviews come back...........definitely soon IMO...

[goldenxbox]

There are certain games that simply are paid to be padded higher for them, too!!!

Looking at the overall reviews for Final Fantasy 12, there's no way that game should have gotten a 9.5!

It makes you go "hmmmmmmm" when reading the advertising, especially coming from PSfan and all these other Sony owned sites!!

Bottom line, it happens to the best of them! Uncharted is another game that has received inflated scores out there!

Overall the game averages to somewhere around 90 which isn't bad, but its not worthy of 9.8s everywhere either!

Real gamers know the padded reviews go in both directions!!

To really change this, you got to start at the source and get rid of the bad reviews!!!!

Drive the bad reviews out of metacritic and tell them to delete those websites, only you have the power and the time has arrived!!

console propaganda or not. if this game was on th 360, ps3, or pc, or whatever the hell. it doesn't matter what system it's on. it's a kick ass game. and you so-called gamers don't realize that.

[xg-ei8ht]

And my review is:

ICEWAKE your an arse, plain and simple.

The end.

[solar]

for f's sake man. why cant fanboi's of all flavors just go out and get laid. find a sheep with their head stuck in a fence whatever. play the game then u have some cred to say it sucks or not.

i got to the last battle last night. the game took one hell of a twist! the game is very very good. and beautiful to boot!

[artman]

it's the best game I've known so far. I'm going to get one for sure.
Gameplay is fun... for sure it doesn't give me a dizzy like COD4 (even I love to see the graphic each time, I can imagine MGS4 somehow)

[AIZEN SOZUKE]

games such as uncharted, ratchet and clank, killzone 2, Metal gear 4 honestness to the fullest, these are the best looking games period, they look like cg, not the best looking on console because ps3 isnt a console, the game beats the best pc has aswell, and crysis is included in that, whatcha gonna say when more killzone 2 footage is shown and in other invironments are shown as well in then will you still say crysis looks better? crysis in only one way be considered looking better than killzone 2, and thats because killzone 2 is only been shown in 1 environment, crysis has had several times much more footage and weapons, as well as vehichle gameplay, and water engines, we have seen none of this with killzone 2, when this stuff is shown that lie of crysis looking best will surely end

what will you say when wardevil, and final fantasy 13 and versus come? will they also be the best "console" visuals, cause i see no pc games in site that near the cgi ingame quality of the 4 games in the bottom of my description, but feel free to think pc owns all, but supercomputer gaming rules
