Uncharted feels like one of those 1930's movie serials that Indiana Jones and Lara Croft are based on. The game casts players as a two-fisted, acrobatic, but realistic and failable adventurer who has a name but might as well be called "everyman." He has a sense of humor, but is never corny. He's got boxing skills, but takes a licking. He tends to wobble on jumps, narrowly escaping death rather than whirling and spinning like the Prince of Perisa. In short, he's awesome because he's believable. Surrounded by lush jungle graphics, a thrilling story with lots of twists, turns, and explosions - Uncharted delivers. Now add something never seen in gaming, and that's great writing. The game makes you care about the story and protagonists in a way most games never come close to.
It's beautiful, powerful, the combat is satisfying and it packs a wallop of a story. The game uses a superb cover system to make gunplay exciting and frequently challenges you with thrilling set peices. It's a fun adventure all around and a refinement for adventure gaming.
Uncharted has some bad words like "sh*t" and "dam*" but doesn't go overboard. The game's story is well crafted, well told, and well voice acted. Late in the game the violence gets more intense as you face fierce and savage enemies. The game takes on some horror elements there. Overall though, the emphasis is on defeating the bad guys using brains, stealth, and your fists but the violence is of the "Saturday Matinee" or Indiana Jones movie variety. Perfect and intriguing stuff for adults and teens alike!
