Fun:
Wow ... finally a game for my PS3 that doesn't disappoint. Since getting my PS3 a couple of months ago there were 3 games that I was really looking forward to, Ratchet and Clank future, Uncharted and GTA IV, I enjoyed Ratchet but it was too short and too easy and I felt slightly disappointed upon completing it, GTA IV disappointed just because of the constant delays ... BUT Uncharted:Drake's fortune is absolutely fantastic, I probably finished the game in about 10-12 hours but these were the most enjoyable 10-12 hours yet on my PS3, the storyline, for a change in a videogame, is engrossing and has plenty of twists and turns so as much as you want to stop playing and go to bed you just can't put the controller down because you need to know what happens next. Parts of this game can be very difficult but never frustratingly so, it's more a case of you fail once so you try a different tactic until you eventually find something that works.
The first thing I did upon completing this game was start a new game straight away on the next difficulty setting and i'm now trying to find all the hidden treasure and earn all the medals to unlock some pretty cool rewards, of course there's your standard rewards such as concept art and macking of docs but then there's cool stuff like one shot kills and unlimited ammo to unlock, I can't wait to replay this game with them 2 active just to see how much easier it is to complete, I think i'll try it on the hardest difficulty setting then.
If there were more games like this on the PS3 then i'd urge everyone to go out and get a PS3 but for now I still think it's best to wait until next year when the great games really start coming and then get a PS3 with Uncharted as your first choice of game to play.
Very highly recommended.
P.S. I'm now playing this game for the third time on hard mode and hoo boy it is hard, there's more enemies and they're much more intelligent, i've found all the hidden treasure and now i'm trying for the medals and rewards, i've had this game for a week now and i'm still having fun playing it, this game was definitely well worth the money.
Aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh JUST BUY IT, STOP READING REVIEWS AND TRY IT FOR YOURSELF, IT'S A FANTASTIC GAME.

Fun:
Despite reading solid reviews, the concept of Uncharted looked very stale (treasure hunting, pirates etc). In addition, every Sony release since Motorstorm has been a huge waste of time. Therefore, I was convinced I'd be disappointed with this. However, Uncharted turned out quite the opposite and is without doubt the best PS3 exclusive to date. The characters are very likeable (in particular Drake, far from the clichés they first appear as). Graphics are another high point, each section is incredibly detailed. Character animation falls just short of Assassins Creed, but not by much. However, Uncharted is a far superior game overall. Naughty Dog has done very well to provide variety to a game set on just one island; a Nazi U Boat encountered early on being a typical example.
Gears of War has obviously been an influence on this game. Even the way enemies spill blood is reminiscent of Gears. By far the best element borrowed is the cover system, which works incredibly well. As do the platforming sections, familiar to anyone who has played Prince of Persia. Other games that came to mind when playing Uncharted were Resident Evil 4, Tomb Raider and Far Cry.
Where Uncharted succeeds with this cheeky plagiarism is that it takes the finer elements from these titles and combines them to create an extremely enjoyable game. Although nothing feels particularly new, its mechanics are refined to the point where it's almost perfect.
One final point that made me admire Uncharted was how it played out. The ending doesnt finish on a cliff-hanger and neither does it set up a sequel. Uncharted actually has a conclusion, which may seem like a small point, but can be infuriating. Assassins Creed, Ratchet & Clank and countless others take note.

Having completed Uncharted on both Easy and Medium, I felt it was only right to review it...and what a game it is!
From the moment the game started I was taken aback by the stunning level of detail imported in Uncharted (which is probably second only too Assassin's Creed) and the realism of the game. Every character has been detailed down to the last hair, and the location setting is tremoundous.
Where others fail (Army of Two please take note!) and Uncharted brings success, is that Naughty Dog have swapped all this running in guns blazing to a more realistic setting in the lush green environment where enemies are harder to kill and it isn't possible to carry 10 different weapons at a time! Much more realistic.
Okay, so i'll try not to note down too many negatives, but lets face it, there are barely any! No online is a minor flor as its fun enough just playing the story. Finding all the treasure boxes and getting all the medals and rewards IS NOT easy, but its more of a challenge them. Erm...struggling for any more here. Anybody want to help me out?
Overall, Uncharted Scores 10/10 because:
Graphics - Untouchable and so realistic.
Gameplay - Remarkable. Every level is different and nothing is repetitive (Assassin's Creed). It gets you hooked and addicted, and it's in 3rd person mode (a very nice touch).
Sound - Everything has been detailed down to a wire. You can even here the birds in the jungle and the enemies writhing in pain once shot.
Lifespan - Collecting all the treasure is similar the achievements on the Xbox 360, and its just a really fun game all round.
Without a doubt one of the greatest games on PS3 so far. If you haven't bought it yet, its a bargain for £20.
