 Not bad... October 6, 2008
Good graphics and interesting plot. Everything seemed to be well thought out. Enjoyed playing and language was suitable for everyone.
Better than a movie October 3, 2008
The pacing and action beat anything you can rent or see in a theater. Characters are well voiced and the dialog is believable. Though short, at around 8 hours, it's well worth every cent.
Uncharted October 3, 2008
AMAZING, of the best games for the ps3. Truly built exactly for this system and nothing else. utilizes all aspects of fun. thank you naughty dog. cant wait for the next one.
A Great Game With Decent Plot October 3, 2008
This game borrows heavily, but who cares? It borrows well and creates a fantastic experience. First, the cover system like Kill.Switch/Gears of War is on the money. There's nothing like jumping from cover to cover to get in close enough for a headshot with the Desert 7. Secondly, the jumping system is similar to the Prince of Persia games (Drake doesn't do Wall Running), but the system is nice and allows for error on the part of novice platformers. Lastly, the story is a mix of Indiana Jones and Lora Croft, but is well done and keeping the player wanting to return to learn what will happen next.
Overall, it's a great experience and one of the best next-gen games that I've personally played on any system.
One of the best, if not the best PS3 game to date. October 2, 2008

I was a little hesitant about buying this game at first, especially since this game has been out almost a year and it was still around the $60 price range. I was hopping that it would soon become a greatest hit but there was no mention of it doing so. So when Amazon had their gold box deal with this game at $30 I knew that I had to get it.
Luckily I was able to get it at the $30 price and as soon as it arrived I popped it in the PS3 and that is where the game stayed until I beat the entire game on all levels of difficulty including the crushing difficulty.
The graphics are some of the best I have ever seen in a game on any system. Beautiful environments stretch throughout the game. Also the first time that I put nate under the waterfall and he actually had wet clothes that dried off after a while was quite a neat little bonus in the graphics department. The only downfall in the graphics department were the explosions which were not bad but they could have been slightly improved to enhance the effect.
The game play is pretty smooth and the story line is seamless and quite interesting. Every cut scene left you wanting to know more. The game play is pretty much a cross between an Indiana Jones style movie and your favorite shooter. The treasure hunting aspect of the game will also keep you on your toes looking for them throughout the game.
The AI of the enemies range in the difficulties. On easy, it really is easy. Normal and hard settings are about were most would enjoy playing the game. Crushing is just what it means. This level is not for the faint at heart but once you have mastered the other difficulties you can get through this with a little patience. The enemies now like to rush at you and their shots are more accurate and more lethal.
Added features now include the addition of trophies which makes the replay value well worth it. Most of the trophies are not that difficult to get but to get the platinum trophy, you will need to finish the game on crushing and also have all the other trophies collected.
Even though I have finished the game at 100%, I still find myself putting the game back in and playing it from time to time. If I would have known that the game was this good, I would not have hesitated to pay the $60 to get it in the first place.
I give this game my highest rating because it deserves it. I have been playing video games since the mid 1970's and this is by far one of the best experiences I have had with a video game.
I cannot wait until Uncharted 2 gets announced and hopefully it will be just as good or even better.
