Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, is perhaps one of the best titles I've played all year. I'll start off with the good points. Visually, it can't be beat, the jungle looks as of you could reach out and touch it, and the texture of the stone and buildings are spot-on. Next, the story is actually pretty good for a treasure hunt, it seemed to be well thought out and has some historical elements as well. The characters are very likable and whoever does their voices did an excellent job. The cover system the developers put in is very similar to Gears of Wars' but works a lot better than Gears' due to its ease of use and simplicity, this game has only a few cover options but that's all you need.
Now on to the bad things...
There is an over excessive amount of gun play in this game. This was supposed to be about an every day man looking for treasure, but its kinda hard to play off when you have him killing hundreds of mercenaries, and yes I mean hundreds. The game is way too linear, on one of the vehicle missions it looks as if someone kindly cut a path for you so you could escape. The environments are also quite a bit synthetic...meaning that you can look at something and say "Oh that's where I'm supposed to jump."
Aside from the ridiculous amount of gun play, synthetic environments, and the linearity, this game is a must-own title.
