"Uncharted: Drake's Fortune Review" 9.1 at IGN

[GoatMother]

There is a link for a video review as well on the 1st page. Gamestop said they get it on the 16th. I personally can't wait as I love the demo. It's kind of like Gears of War in the gameplay but with platforming done very well and some pretty cool close range combat, no chainsaws in this one however.

Can Naughty Dog live up to more than a year of mouthwatering coverage and placate fans who forked over $600 to see stellar title after stellar title come out on non-PS3 platforms?

Yes. Yes, it can. Uncharted: Drake's Fortune is the most fun I've had in a videogame this year.

Closing Comments
Here's the thing about Uncharted, the final sum is far greater than the individual parts. Maybe you don't dig the combat or maybe the pop-in gets you down, but the overall package of an endearing story, outstanding score, great performances and fun gameplay should put this title on the top of your holiday wishlist. Say what you will about the PS3, but Uncharted isn't just a standout for Sony -- it's a standout for gaming as a whole.

9.5 Presentation
The whole thing has the polish of a major motion picture and goes out of its way to immerse you in the experience with amazing cutscenes, music and more.

9.0 Graphics
There's no doubt the game looks great and that the use of in-game assets for the movies is seamless transition, but there's still a fair amount of screen tearing and texture pop in.

9.5 Sound
From the low instrumental piece accompanying the opening screen to the sweeping score that runs throughout the whole game, this is what videogame music should be.

9.0 Gameplay
This game is flat-out fun to play. Leaping from ledges is awesome, shootouts are fun, and the occasional vehicle section is a nice change of pace. Still, the pirate battles can be a bit much.

8.5 Lasting Appeal
The game is short, but the medals, rewards and bonuses should be enough to bring you back at least once.

9.1
Outstanding OVERALL

For a 720p title, it does look pretty!

The acting is great- the guy that does the main character is funny. I really liked the demo.
