Uncharted is basically what you get when Sony makes sweet sweet love to Indiana Jones. Filled with a bunch of conveniently placed climbable objects and hiding spots, it's quite the adventure.
What makes Uncharted good? The writing is above average, providing some good hearty chuckles once in a while, as well as some good story. The gameplay is what you'd expect, jump around, find shit, shoot people when ya need to.
What's the bad parts? Well, not much if you like adventure games. For those of you who the concept of Uncharted isn't super appealing, you may struggle a bit to want to play. The major thing that would be considered bad is that the controls can be a bit clunky. Let's say you're trying to hide behind a sniper, but you need to leave cover for a quick bit to pick up a bit more ammo. You exit cover, run over to the gun, and then press the cover button again. Unfortunately, this can sometimes contain you rolling around looking like an idiot while you take tons of bullets. This doesnt happen super often however, but when it does pop up it can range from mildly annoying to mildly infuriating.
Overall, Uncharted is an 8.5/10 in my book. Great writing, fun game, but wasnt the most intriguing until about the end, and the uncommon control kink can kill a few times too many.
