The title has its flaws, but it overcomes them by making you feel like an actor inside an adventure movie where your actions make the difference between life or death. Nobody aspires to create such a high level of emotional engagement in games, particularly in the genre of shooting games. You can feel the hatred as Drake seeks revenge against Katherine Marlowe, a memorable villain who runs an army of thugs in a secret society.
You feel the emotional tugs as Drake parts from his companion Elena, whose eyes sparkle as she holds back tears. The beginning of the game took us deeper into the character of Nathan Drake and his relationship with fellow thief Victor “Sully” Sullivan, who is both Drake’s corrupter and savior. This is what makes Uncharted the crown jewel in Sony’s portfolio of great video game franchises.Īs our interview with Naughty Dog’s Justin Richmond revealed, the developers focused on creating movie-like set pieces, or action sequences that took our breath away, much like blockbuster movies do.
After you play this game, you close your eyes and see the memorable images - like those damn spiders - that take you back to the immersive experience. In every scene, you see the spectacular effects from just the right angle, and you have to time your response right to survive in the nick of time. And you must dispatch your enemies as you outrun the flooding of a capsized cruise ship. You have to survive a firefight in a cargo plane as the aircraft’s cargo empties out the open ramp in mid-air. As the treasure-hunting hero Nathan Drake, you have to battle your way through a burning French château as it collapses around you. And in 2011, Uncharted 3 has taken the top title again because of its cinematic story, realistic characters, outstanding graphics and unbelievably action-packed combat scenes. In 2009, we gave Uncharted 2: Among Thieves the honor of game of the year. Three top investment pros open up about what it takes to get your video game funded.
