I have been picking away @ some PS3 games and Uncharted - Drake's Fortune is my 1st to GG. If I had to describe the gameplay, the sub-title of Tomb Raider with a focus on shooting rivals would be it. I got 11-12 hours of play from this game and since I scored it for under $30, I cannot complain about the play time. For $60, I'd want to get around 15 or so hours out of it, as with most other titles in that price range.
Story wise, the cut scenes were pretty awesome and kept the story interesting and fun. The loading and interface / level flow were awesome, as the lack of load screens and smooth progression was solid.
Controls were tight, and the only minor con was the tilt use for grenade angling. Short of that, the controller buttons are well mapped and share shooting controls with many other PS3 games (L1 to Aim, R1 to Shoot).
To conclude, if you miss some Tomb Raider-like action (from the earlier, awesome titles) mixed up with some mass shooting and a bit of puzzle play, Uncharted will do you right. If there was anything I would have liked to see more of, was the puzzle play. |
