How well Uncharted really is and what will happen to you if you go on a treasure hunt that can you experience in the review. Have fun while reading!
Story
The first treasure is successfully recovered from the sea and Nathan 'Nate' Drake, in his athletic amateur treasure hunter laughs visibly delighted in the camera of reporter Elena Fisher.
This small team is obviously on a treasure hunt and so that our hero can search fund is the television of the party, in manifested form of the attractive blonde. Hardly opened the trunk and took the book contained therein per se Nate, the two are attacked on their boats even by pirates ...
Fortunately for her approaching rescue from the air, starts from Nates old companions Victor 'Sully' Sullivan and a diverse, adventurous journey, always the treasure of El Dorado in focus, the already Nates ancestor Sir Francis Drake was looking for. Nate has many sections on the way to the great treasure cope alone, but a number of obstacles and puzzles can only be overcome in cooperation with Elena. It is therefore essential in the course of the game, that they may live, even if Nate is not initially very enthusiastic about their support. The journey takes you through many beautifully designed landscapes, such as temples, ruins, on a remote island and through the jungle. Your progress are given almost no physical limitations. Nate can namely shimmy from one obstacle to the next, swim or just run if this is possible. Also Uncharted waiting with entertaining, entertaining action in an SUV, and on the water on a jetski on. You will miss in this regard almost nothing and it makes a lot of fun to swing through the area and thereby collect a treasure here and there. For the treasures of her later gets credits, with which you can unlock the extras of the game. That should make for Trophy Hunters, next great story and presentation, for enough long-term motivation. Not to be forgotten are the enemy minions, who is also the exception to the treasure of El Dorado. Nate has to deliver many difficult duels with these gentlemen who are not the smartest enemies in video game history, but are indeed certainly with the most numerous in the game. The story of Uncharted is told in a rarely-seen, unobtrusive authentic acting way. You control the action and your acrobatic actions, which can control their own need, solve many puzzles and some of the game flow is broken up by Quick Time Events. All this is accompanied by impressive video sequences, which reward you with the storyline for your survive an adventure. From the first minute to the end, which can reach a proficient player after about ten hours the game will not get bored and almost everything fits together perfectly!
Gameplay
As mentioned above, the path of our hero is not always easy. So often no way around it to shimmy on brittle rock ledges along to hop over old and unstable ruins or avoid dangers and to take cover. The controller, in order to control all of these things is very intuitive and responds with a few exceptions very good. With the X button you can you pull up to obstacles and jump, with her circle takes cover if you fall under attack and thus will witness one of the smartest Cover Systems, which is used in a video game. With R1 their fires one of the many kinds of weapons that you can you borrow during the game of your opponents, is recharged with R2. About you once out of ammunition, so you can go with the square button in the melee and start with the triangle a particularly harsh attack. The hands should always be used if soft approach is required and one in the footsteps of Solid Snake, purely technically, to not stir to attract for large amounts of enemies. The Hangel- and climbs are sometimes quite tricky and you should crash in no case here. Do not worry, it will certainly happen to you anyway! And Uncharted some passages are defitiv doing that you have to tackle a few times in order to cope with these, especially if you will anyway put already under strong pressure from large enemy hordes and you then you demanded your acrobatics. But that's what makes the gameplay! Intuitive commands that Nate gets of you and him alive on this adventurous journey. The Sixxaxis control is optionally available for use, for example, if their balances over narrow bridges.
There's little to criticize, except for the part a little bit hakelig seemingly control, especially if you use the cover system. The camera work is then partially some getting used to. You will learn it quickly but to deal with it. Some jump pad is also very tight timed so that in a few places in the game really need to be patient until you gemeister it. But something like this is one of them, so that a game is not easy. On the whole the game is feeling that Uncharted: Drake's Fortune conveyed unique and takes you along on an action-packed trip through breathtaking scenes, almost as if you determine the plot of a film itself.
Graphic
In release Uncharted was undisputed best-looking game that could be seen at this time on gaming consoles. Also currently Uncharted has still an extremely high graphical standard. It is primarily the richness of detail, which is able to inspire. The weigh of palm leaves and grasses in the wind, the excellent water effects, facial expressions and gestures of the protagonists, the whole environment, especially how it reacts to Nate's movements and moved here. Everything looks very cinematic and to top it all is the water effect, if Nate has fallen into water. His clothing appears then wet for a short period and that looks very real.
Even today, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune still at a very high graphical level, which should be pointing the way for many other games. The only minimal criticism can be found in the light and shadow effects, especially when a vast panorama decorates the background. The shadows are then not too well defined and form small podium and with the partly pastel colored tones light the whole picture looks very rare once exaggerated. As fluid as the game ansich but running and so rarely notice these inconsistencies, as well is the Gesamteidruck remains excellent ... Still!
Sound
The sound of Uncharted is epic. Direct the intro reminiscent of Pirates of the Carribean. A strong bass and orchestral sounds characterize the music, while loudly the happenings underscored, but never is intrusive, quite the contrary. She fits perfectly with the action and was targeted by the developers to generate atmosphere. Again this shows a clear parallel to an action movie, as it should be. In the wild firefights have been partly the feeling of being at the front. The shelling can shake your living room, the gunfire is your neighbors tear from sleep. The voice acting is one of the best that I got personally heard in a videogame. Both the German, and the English soundtrack to convince knew the English had something more authentic. There's an enormous effort behind it, so loving to put the characters in the scene and to provide with their voices insight into their feelings, at least you can tell by the language clear whether the protagonists joking, whether they are in a serious situation or whether they again even sarcastic with each other. Here was the part of Naughty Dog invested a lot to bring the game close to perfect.
Conclusion
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune is simply unique. A great way to start a new game era and one of the first true current-generation games, which gained market! With the many options that you have in spite of the linearity of the game 'lo' will not get bored even without Uncharted: Drake's Fortune boasts a Multiplayer.
Uncharted has (and needs) just no multiplayer, neither online nor offline a cooperative mode. Therefore, this point does not go well with a in the Score. The game also has a unique design and a single-player cooperative mode alone is therefore invalid because Nate nowhere must deny all sections of the game together with Elena and Sully. The linearity and the lack of multiplayer in current video games is often a major criticism of a not despising number of potential customers. When you play Uncharted, so you can linearity not dismissed out of hand. Yet I have a lance for this game break, because it is, as mentioned above, designed more as a great action movie, in which you can intervene in the action and who has ever made a movie linearity undoing, if it is large to a work of epic proportions held?
Furthermore missing here simply no multiplayer! It is even a good thing that Naughty Dog has fully concentrated experience in the realization of this 1-player and, safely retrieved by a patch Multiplayer, the full potential of this title.
To Nate and Elena get to know, before we continue with Part 2, it's almost mandatory to have played the first part. Let you be carried away into the adventure and the search for El Dorado and controls Blockbuster with your own skill on the controller itself. The game should be in every games for Sony PS3. Have you not tried Uncharted, it brings absolutely for!
