Uncharted: Drake's Fortune

[hudson]

I personally felt the game length for a game that you spend mostly run and gunning in was just right. As I've said previously, this game could of done with an unlockable score mode and maybe a leaderboard to go with it as a reward for full completion

[wonderboy]

To Edge of Insanity : Yeah thanks i just looked, i must have been tired last night. Glad it made it in there. Even though top 10/20/50 etc, are never really any use. Everyones' different...I guess..

Did anyone else like surprising the baddies, with a bit of combat. I liked the way Nate would respond based on distance or where the enemies was. Also, i was pretty cool when out of ammo, to jump over something and pop someone to get their gun. The combos for getting a 2x weapon was handy...

Yeah hoolak, unlockable leaderboard would have been pretty neat.

C', yeah know what you mean, when it went all,

Silent Hill i'd just gone done stairs for a cup of tea. Came back up and resumed. I thought my Silent Hill 2 disc had jumped

in my machine...

Hope they have a sequal in the works already. Wonder where they'd set it...?

[dreamylittledream]

No i am not. I find it more fun exploring the many worlds in rachet aswell as the humour and excellent weapons & gadgets. Im finding the constant firefights are starting to grate now in uncharted and im only on ch 12.

Hmm well I've only played the demo of Ratchett, but it just seemed more of the same with nicer graphics to me.

That said I'm looking forward to playing through it...

But Uncharted is game of the year for me - loved the style, the mix of cover gun play and platforms and the whole Indiana Jones feel.

The next Tomb Raider has a tough job to come close to this...

Just started this on 'Crushing'.

OMMFG HOW B$&#37;&*#D HARD IS THIS?!?!

Still love it though. Every treasure and 760 reward points unlocked now.

My favourite sections are at the plane wreckage and in the large knee deep in water room.

Yeah, I liked to mix gunplay up with a bit of hand-to-hand combat. Apparently anyone killed with melee drops more ammo.

Another little tactic I discovered towards the end was that if a pirate is about to throw a grenade at you, if you shoot them they will drop it and not have time to react and get out of the way, taking themselves out

Such a great game. After finishing it I went on to Mario Galaxy and whilst that's awesome, there was a voice at the back of my mind telling me to go back to this on Hard.

I just did the place wreckage section and am now making my way past the booby traps to the fortress.

Can't wait for the monastary & church sections later

Can I D/L a USA save to get blood on my JPN game like with Resistance?

[On The Edge of Insanity]

Apparantly not, as its linked directly to the console region and checks each time it loads rather than just relying on a created save file from the first boot of the game. Damn CERO!

[J0e Musashi]

Gah, it used top be an advantage having JPN hardware too .
What about if you play the JPN game on a USA or PAL unit? Do you get blood then?

[On The Edge of Insanity]

I can't imagine anyone has tried due to the US and EU versions coming out a decent amount of time ahead of the JPN release. Going by the logic learned from the US/EU releases though, I would assume the JPN version would show blood on a US/EU console.

To be honest, the lack of blood didn't really bother me as it was always clear when someone was dead due to their animations. It is rare that you get near enough to shoot anything at close range anyway, so I didn't really miss it. If anything, it kinda added to the pulpyness of it.

lol pulpyness............. i like that word, im adding it to my limited voabulary now mate Thanks!

Ive been hammering this game all over xmas and ive started again on hard. Its such a neat lil package that i feel kinda proud to have it in my collection.

the last level is a bit of a departure from the main game but i guess it had to end in some dramatic way right?

Does anyone know if you can get a cheat to have unlimited ammo for the magnum? That is by far the best weapon, so much power, i feel like Barry Burton when he tells Jill he has 'THIS'

I'm about two - three hours in to this and after a bit of a slow start this is really getting much, much better. In fact, I've just got to the first awesome section

->Open Spoiler<-

with the jeep.

Left me laughing like a loony with all the carnage and mayhem

I'm surprised how rough this game is around the edges mind - the accompanying AI can be a real bloody nuisance and I've almost shot Elena several times, not in a firefight, but because she keeps running a few paces ahead and just stopping like a stupid mutt on an invisible choke chain.

Also some of the animations aren't as good and look a bit awkward (not that much on Drake himself but again the accompanying AI). Kind of breaks all the hard work that's gone in to making it look so good.

Despite the problems thought it's a bucketload of fun. Nice dialog snappy too.

How I laughed as I managed to plant a grenade under one bad guy and launch him in to the air doing the splits. Between that and neck snapping, face planting, bouncing enemies off my fist and into a wall and back in to my fist - it's a thoroughly entertaining romp.

[112]

Spatial, you do realise you cant actually shoot Elena right? Trust me ive tried many a times , especially with Sully!
