UNCHARTED DRAKE'S FORTUNE on the PS3 Platform.
We have had many requests regarding this title, and gladly have once again pulled through for our very loyal members.
Uncharted's visuals will likely dazzle you. You're not going to see a better-looking game on the PS3 this year. Granted, there are occasional bouts of pop-in, and sometimes you'll see some screen tearing, but beyond those issues it's true eye candy that puts the PS3's horsepower to the test. Cut-scenes weave in and out of the game seamlessly, so that narrative flows into gameplay without missing a beat. Someone at Naughty Dog even had the foresight to implement pause-able cinematics, a wonderful touch that's too often forgotten. The amount of care and detail placed in the game's voice acting and animations shows; the team evidently didn't want photorealistic models, and the stylized look of the characters works wonderfully within the game's visuals.
Also, thanks to the visual details and clean HUD, there's not too much to distract you from taking in lush green jungles, dingy old tombs, and the interiors of abandoned U-boats. There are moments in the game when you'll traverse around the edge of something that's teetering on a fatal fall, and yet still stop moving Nathan to look at the terrain. That's how visually arresting it is. It's not without its issues, though. Because the environment blends so well, you'll die a handful of times thanks to mis-timed jumps. And at times it's hard to tell where you're supposed to go or what to do thanks to a lack of the typical visual indicators. That ledge that you would know is a landing spot in a PS2 game is blended into the scenery here, which can be a little jarring from time to time. There are also some collision detection issues; you'll mostly notice them earlier in the game. At times, Nathan will roll toward a wall and his feet will disappear.
