There's no disputing this globe-trotting adventure looks amazing - but how does it play?

In spite of all the work that obviously went into crafting Uncharted, its gameplay comes up a bit short, turning key moments in its 8-to-10-hour run time into frustrating, repetitive slogs. Still, it's a lot of fun overall, and its cool pulp-fiction atmosphere and wildly entertaining story will keep you grinding through even when things get dull. If you're looking for a fun showcase of the PS3's graphical prowess and don't mind a few flaws, then this is what you should be playing right now.

You'll love
  • Top-notch production values
  • Fun story and endearing characters
  • Jaw-dropping water effects
You'll hate
  • Focuses on style over substance
  • Jet Ski sequences are awkward
  • Gunfights often more grueling than fun

Nice review. I recently beat the game (I managed to pick it up used for 35 bucks) and it was well worth it. The story is pretty run-of-the-mill but the production is so far and above most games that I was willing to overlook the weak plot points. Although, everything after chapter 17 is absolutely ridiculous. It definitely looks good, but here's hoping Naughty Dog gets a little less campy with the enemy animations in the next iteration.
