Uncharted first impressions
From what I’ve played so far, Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune is more satisfying than the PC version of Gears of War. They may seem like apples and oranges to you, but these two games are more similar than you think.
Of course, there are the obvious differences: Aside from not crashing every so often, Uncharted provides some light puzzle solving, copious platforming, and an Indiana Jones-like treasure hunt.
The dominantly gray and brown visual design of Gears is also not here, and it’s probably the first thing you’ll notice when you run Uncharted. There are just so many greens to see that one can get lost at first glance.
The heart and soul of this game’s action is its refined shooting, and it’s every bit as good as that of Gears. I’ve yet to encounter a major enemy to gun down, but each firefight can potentially be your last if you’re not careful. Your “ordinary” group of thugs are a coordinated lot that’s capable of strafing, flanking, and flushing tactics.
I’m currently halfway through the hard difficulty, and I’ve been impressed so far. I’m expecting to be even more impressed as I reach the climax and ending, so I hope Uncharted delivers.
