Uncharted: Drake's fortune

Uncharted is an action adventure game that follows an explorer, Nathan Drake as he unravels the mysteries about his great ancestor,  explorer Sir Francis Drake and the secret gold statue of ‘El Dorado’. The statue was an ancient artefact that Drake died trying to find it. As the game continues the search reveals the darker side of the treasure.

While you are trying to solve the mystery of El Dorado you come across enemies who are trying to protect the statue or to claim it for themselves. The cut scenes are well produced and help tell the story. The game has you exploring luscious forest environments, where you negotiate cliff faces, caves, valleys, rivers, and vines.

The quest features wonderful puzzles that require you to rotate symbols, and alter the environment to unlock different places in the game. There are also secret treasures that need to be collected to achieve trophies and earn in-game points which can be used the next time you play – to unlock weapons, ammo, and customise your character.

The game does not take that long to complete therefore you are likely to find  yourself playing it again.  With Uncharted 2 soon to be released I strongly recommend that you play this first instalment so that the story does not seem confusing in the second.
