I just got finished with this game, and i have to say it is the most genaric adventure game ive ever played. I do not understand why so many people like this terrible game. The grapphics arent nearly as good as people say, the gameplay is dull, and the story line is bland as well.

Save your money, alot of better games are, and will be coming out.

Boring...

Considering PS3 owners don't have any good games anyway like 360 does. That's why so many think this game is good. I have 360 and PS3. This game is pretty boring. I stopped playing it after an hour.

Lightning Deal-Aparent Scam

Attempted several times to add to my shoping cart when only 25%-39% claimed, then Amazon screen displayed "We are currently in the process of obtaining product information for a new Deal Of The Day. Please check back soon!" All lightning deals vanished, while only 39% were claimed. When finally updated, "undefined" "100% claimed". How could all be claimed if amazon system was being updated? I guess that amazon only wanted to sell these at Full List Price. So much for their supposed deals. Therefore game is rated poorly due to inability to purchase at advertised sale price.

Just Another Shooter with the Wrong Rating

I bought this game as something I could do with my kids. Adventure, puzzles, etc. but it quickly degraded into a fairly explicit shooter. Not as nasty as say "Gun" or "Gears of War", but definitely not "T" rating material. How this got a "T" and "Halo" gets an "M" I'll never know.

Parents, unless you're OK with your kids popping off bloody head-shots with AK47s and pistols, stay away.

(Thankfully, my kids found the game boring shortly after it turned shooter.)

The demo was enough to put me off this game

I just downloaded and played the demo to this game over Christmas.
The graphics were nice, but the game play was well annoying. It uses the new PS3 controler so you can move about like the wi, so as far as advancement goes, that is cool, but the game play was just too stop and go for me. It reminded me too much of Lost. I'd say this game is for the under 18 crowd and if I do buy it, I'll wait for it to go on sale used for $10.00. I am still hooked on Call of Duty 4 online until the next Grand Theft Auto and Medal of Honor.

A more objective opinion

I'm going to try to give a more objective opinion here as I feel the game is good but has some annoying flaws. I'll try to break it into sections first:

Graphics: The graphics are indeed fantastic. The textures and detail are amazing. It's great to see a sunset in a game that rivals what I've seen in real life while in Hawaii. However, I can't understand why this title, as well as every other PS3 game I own, is in 720p whereas my XBox titles are mostly in 1080p. As a result there are plenty of sharp but jagged edges. This could also be fixed with decent antialiasing. There are also a number of times where the textures take a second to draw. So you'll see the 3D model untextured for a moment then suddenly the texture appears. Another problem, and probably the biggest and most annoying, is the small graphical glitches that resemble what hidden treasure looks like - small white flashes. Many times you think you see treasure only to find it's some small white rendering glitch. These things aside the game is simply gorgeous! They did a fantastic job with the scenery and environments.

Sound: Excellent!! Everything about the audio has been fantastic and I have experienced no issues with 5.1 surround sound. The music is great and atmospheric sounds do a amazing job making you feel in the environment.

Story: The story is also excellent. The search for El Dorado but having it turn out to not be a city but a large gold statue of a deity. Now ***MINOR SPOILER***.... where it goes wrong is where they introduce zombie/golem like creatures. Talk about taking a good story and turning it corny.

Gameplay: Poor. There are a lot of excellent aspects to the gameplay like the platform side of the game where you explore and jump from ledges and such and the shooter side which is really cool cause you can take cover, manually aim, have a good amount of different weapons, etc. However, the gameplay fails horribly in a number of areas. For one there's the fact that the "O" button doubles as roll and take cover. Later in the game when the enemies have laser sighting the only way to move to another location and avoid being shot it to roll. You will find yourself trying to roll to another location to get ammo and instead have the game duck you for cover IN THE WRONG DIRECTION leaving your back wide open to the enemies!!! This usually leads to you getting killed and having to restart the whole area over again. Then there's the camera. In a number of instances you can't turn the camera. So you may need to jump to something and not see it, or be getting shot at and not see where from till you take cover and manually aim, etc. There are also times where the camera will spin by itself into the worst possible position, this happens mostly while climbing leges and such but even sometimes while fighting.

Another gameplay flaw comes later in the game when fighting the creatures. They move very fast and even climb walls. They should've incorporated a true first person view like Halo and Quake so you can manage fighting them easier. In manual aim the character turns way too slow to keep up with their movements so the only way to fight them is run and gun in which accuracy is terrible, especially since you can't target anything specific as the only two stick controls are run and camera. It gets really aggrevating.

Another frustating aspect is how often the controls don't translate exactly as they should. As a result you will fall many many times in the game and it takes away dramatically from it's fun. For example, when you have to jump to a wall behind you you are supposed to push in it's direction and jump. When doing this you'll find he'll sometimes jump off at a diagonal for no known reason and miss the ledge and fall.

It also gets tiring fighting wave after wave of enemies, though that's not all that annoying. It's more annoying and bewildering when you're supposedly opening secret hidden passages that haven't been opened in centuries to find enemies there already!!! What is up with that anyway? You're searching for this hidden treasure, you have the book with the clues, yet the enemies are already everywhere you're going to! Nearly every secret area you unlock has enemies already there with lights and equipment.

Lastly, the game is waaaaay too short! It's only like 9 hours long. They could've made it a lot longer. Being it's only 9 hours long I cannot at all recommend *buying* the game. I don't agree with others that say it has replay value, other than to show off the graphics to friends. Once the story is beat and you know all the puzzles what's the point? So, I'd recommend renting it and beating it over a couple of days.

Where the game does shine is in excellent graphics, minus the jaggies, with fantastic cinematics that are truly engaging. I love how the game goes from cinematic right to playing. You'll find yourself at the end of a cinematic not realizing you're back to controlling the character which is really cool.

So overall despite it's issues I do like Uncharted, it was just more fun earlier in the game. If I could I would actually rate it 3 1/2 stars. I'd certainly recommend this title as a rental. It's far too short to spend $60 on.

RENTAL ONLY

Don't get me wrong. I see where someone that's into the whole Tomb Raider-esque genre will love this game. But that's part of the problem with it. After you get by the initial oooo-ing and aaahh-ing, there just doesn't seem to be anything new here.It's basically the "Not starring an almost obscenely dressed woman" version of Tomb Raider.

So dudes...if you're looking for a manly-man version of the same old puzzle-solving, ledge-jumping, why-doesn't-this-damn-thing-aim-right type of game...here it is. Enjoy.

It's really not a horrible game. I would have liked to see some more done with the actual action sequences...but I'll chalk that up to a personal preference and leave it at that.

Would I rent it...Yeah.
Would I buy it...only if I was really into this particular genre.

Could have been perfect...

I've played the game twice through and it was a blast. Fun, fun, fun! Nevertheless, Naughty Dog didn't pay attention to detail. I played the demo and I still have it and compared it to the actual game and there's a big difference in stability. Amazingly the demo is way better. What I noticed as soon as I started playing the game were ripples. They're intermittent but constant throughout the entire game. More so in some levels than others and it's really annoying to me having played the demo without experiencing this lack of Quality Assurance. I don't know what it's officially called. It's almost like static interference which was completely unexpected after playing the demo. The screen seems almost unstable while moving the character around. I've played Rachet & Clank, COD 4, All Pro Football & Resistance and none of these very good games does this so I'm sure it's not my television. All I can say is that I wish the entire game would have been as stable as the demo. Go figure...the demo beats the released game!

One thing you may experience during game play is your PS3 freezing up on a certain scene etc while pushing buttons or moving around. It's happened to me many times while playing this game. My system doesn't freeze up while playing the aforementioned games. As I mentioned before a good game with a lot of glitches.

not as good as they say

I got this game cause I kept hearing that it was the best game on ps3,,,that is wrong, the game is good, but not that good, it's fun to play but, Really nothing new and graphics are good but at the part on the jetski the movement of the camera give me a headache, It just isn't what people made it out to be.
