Uncharted has been one of my favorite game to play this whole gaming season. Uncharted really captures the essence of a single player action adventure game and has set a great bench mark of how this game should look and feel on a next gen console. In Uncharted you play as Drake your Indiana Jones type, an average guy but archaeologist extraordinaire. At the very beginning of the game you are introduced to the primary combat of the game which is a third person shoot and cover mechanism with of course some close range hand to hand combat. Uncharted masters the three main pillars of a great action adventure game combat, world exploration and story. Without these three things you get an unsatisfying gaming experience but when you you balance these three things correctly you have a great game. Uncharted follows the some what well know story of the lost city of Eldorado. Now don't worry I can assure you that Uncharted takes a completely fresh and new angel to this story and does not disappoint at all. Uncharted also has a very strong cast of characters that really come to life on the PS3. Uncharted exploration is an experience that matches the classic Prince of Persia: Sands of Time (if you haven't played this game pick it up now and be amazed). The world of Uncharted is vast and beautiful, really taking use of the PS3 hardware. The game also does a really amazing job of intertwining cinema scenes both big and small into the game play never breaking the experience. The controls for climbing and jumping from ledge to ledge also are well thought of making it feel really natural to use. Lastly the combat in Uncharted is both exciting and challenging. You must use your surrounds to protect yourself as you must flank your enemy be fore they flank you. The AI is all well structure as they well flank, charge and retreat just like you would expect real people to do. The combat is also filled with a ot of explosive barrels and such which helps make the experience unique and fun as this is not an FPS game but an adventure game. I highly recommend this game to anyone and I am really looking forward to the sequel.
