jedicri Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 This game's receiving very good reviews. Anyone picked it up yet or played the demo? This may be the final game I'm picking up this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple Posted November 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 I downloaded the demo last week, and I'm picking it up today >Motoko< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purple Posted November 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 (edited) That's great Motoko! Please, I'd love to hear your impressions on the game. It's really freakin cool, well I have been waitting for it for months now, so I knew it was going to be good, it got a 10/10 at IGN I was hearing. Usually any game from: Namco/Bandai and SCE (Sony Computer Entertainment) is great, and Sega also. >Motoko< Edited November 21, 2007 by Motoko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedicri Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 Yup, I've just watched a number of gameplay videos on IGN --- this is definately a pick up for me! ( I digress from the topic: Motoko, I heartily recommend Mass Effect for your boyfriend to play if he doesn't know already about it. If he played and enjoyed Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, he'll certainly dig Bioware's latest game.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ms.Croft Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 I love it, and I've only played the Demo! This is what I want TR8 to be...well, this and a mixture of the non-linear style of Assassin's Creed. So Drake's Fortune and Assassin's Mixed with TR style would be a sure winner for me! I like the health system, it's very intereseting and forces you to take cover, which if there were health packs, I would probably be less likely to do. The graphics are spectacular--probably the best water effects I've seen for a while. I'm asking for this at Christmas lol. MsC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janny Posted November 23, 2007 Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 The graphics are spectacular--probably the best water effects I've seen for a while. Even better than in BioShock? I would love to play this game, since I heard you get to explore a whole jungle! A shame it's PS3 only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple Posted December 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 (edited) I'm asking for this at Christmas lol. MsC Cool! Btw, there are secrets well they are called treasures and there are 60 of them total and they also unlock things, so keep an eye out some are easy to find. The game is so fun. >Motoko< Edited December 5, 2007 by Motoko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandrajos Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 Can anyone who has played the game tell me how much action it is and if there´s any puzzels? I´m not sure if I will like it if it´s only a shoot em´up game. I guess I would like to know if the game play gets repetitive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you aren't sure about this game then I suggest renting it first. Games now can come in pretty expensive, wouldn't want to spend all this money on a game you aren't sure of. >Motoko< Edited December 6, 2007 by Motoko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an other question though, how easy are the puzzels in drake´s fortune? I heard that they are very simple and boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to play it yourself, I mean there are always going to be people with different opinions just like with movies, some people are going to tell you that it's the best film they have ever watched and others are going to tell you the complete opposite so I always say judge for yourslef ... you won't know until you have played/tried it and then decide weather it may be or not your type of game. I love Uncharted I'm bearly getting halfway so far is very fun and definetly recommend it for people that like Action/Adventure type of gmes and that's my opinion so far. >Motoko< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabbi Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 Okay this is just my opinion and yes I am pre judging it. Looking at the trailers and all that on tv it looks like a Tomb Raider rip off. I mean, the locations seem similar to TR, TR-ish atmosphere, also the moves shown are so similar to TR. The wall run in TRA is even in the game. Just my opnion remember... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, it's pretty different, remember that TR is kinda based on Indiana Jones and James Bond but in a woman, and I still wouldn't call TR an Indiana Jones/James Bond rip off. >Purple< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedicri Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 Picked my copy up a few weeks ago and played about an hour and I must say that I'm enjoying this game quite a lot. Much like a number of games recently released, Mass Effect comes to mind, Uncharted has a cinematic feel to it. The game has very likable characters. I just have to get used to the controls. For the moment however, I've put this game on hold, and every other game I've listed as currently playing on another thread, to focus on finishing Mass Effect.

Hook, line, and sinker. Lol. At the moment, I've logged in just over 20 hours of gameplay by doing a number of sidequests; I haven't yet touched the main plot. I want to level up as much as possible and collect as much credits too in order to purchase uber armour, weapons and various upgrades. And on the side, I have my character romancing the Asari scientist, Liara Back on topic, I played quite a bit of Uncharted today and man, is this game enjoyable. Action, adventure, with some doses of puzzles (very easy) and humour sprinkled in. It reminds me a lot of the Indiana Jones adventures --- tongue-in-cheek action. Highly recommended! I'm still searching for the reporter (forgot her name) and just finished this level where I'm up against numerous bad guys and some guy with a machine gun perched on an elevated level, running point. This was by far the most exciting gun fight yet: out of Ak-47 ammo and down to just 3 bullets on my 9mm, I literally had to make my shots count. It was something like out of the movies (ending of Die Hard and the warehouse scene in MI: 3)) --- outstanding!

I think I know where you are at, the grenade launcher gun, if you find shoot the Machine dude with that and don't forget about the treasures, have you collected any? Yeah I have runned out of ammo couple of times, so I just rush to a bad pirate that's the closest and punch him and take his ammo lol. >Purple< Edited December 16, 2007 by Purple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedicri Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 (edited) Finished this game about a month ago (forgot about this thread...) and here are my final thoughts on the game: O U T S T A N D I N G ! ! ! Sorry to have to say this but Uncharted has much more fun gameplay than Tomb Raider. Uncharted is briskly paced and as such, the puzzles that you do encounter are not bumper stumpers. It is an action/adventure so puzzles, unlike the Tomb Raider games, are not put on the forefront. Someone mentioned the wall run in Tomb Raider and that Uncharted copied/imitated it; if I'm not mistaken, the first of Ubisoft's Prince of Persia trilogy had this before TR did (and executed without a rope or vine for that matter). I'll admit that Uncharted does borrow from TR, but also the hiding behind walls while in a gunfight from Gears of War. This type of gunfight actually forces you to shoot tacticly, otherwise, should you run out of ammo or happen to pick some up along the way dropped by fallen enemies, your final option would be to engage the enemy mano-a-mano and in this respect, the game does great as well. Uncharted: Drake's Fortune is an absolute must-have for PS3 console owners. Here's hoping for a aequel!
