Hello this is my second review as a mid-core gamer. The game is Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune. You can read more about my reviews in my first review here.

Title: Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune

The Good:

From creators of Crash Bandicoot and Jak, comes another awesome game. Uncharted screams the feel of Indiana Jones combined with the adventure of Tomb Raider ( The good ones not the bad ones), along with the gun play of Gears of War. The game begins by looking for the lost treasure of Sir Francis Drake. Drake who was on a treasure hunt himself, was searching for the lost treasure of El Dorado. The game graphics are by far some of the best I have ever seen. The lush jungles, beautiful vistas, it really feels like you are actually in the jungle searching for treasure. Uncharted’s story line is really gripping, and the relationship between your character and the characters around you feel very natural. The 6-10 hours or so move quickly and you hardly know the time passes. The game feels like your living Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

The Bad:

The game does a good job of balancing difficulty. However, some areas are extremely difficult even on the easiest setting, and other sections a bit to easy even on medium. Another small but irritating feature is after dying, the cut scenes will play the same lines over and over again. It was also sometimes to find the correct direction to go, I found myself running in circles more often then not.

Closing:

Overall the game is an extremely fun adventure. I think every mid-core gamer should experience and finish this game, even the gamer with a tight schedule.
