When it comes to games, I cannot play them unless they tell some kind of story. That's why one of my favorite franchises is Final Fantasy. with VIII being my absolute favorite, I count many of them into my little happy-book. XI was great, X was good XII was quite alright, and I dare not speak about XIII...
With my age however my thirst for an "intelligent" story has increased quite a bit and with that, my attention to detail.
One Game, has caught my attention when I first got my PS3, not because i looked out for it, but because it was bundled with my PS3 gaming system when i got it 4 years ago.
Uncharted: Drakes Fortune, follows Nathan Drake, a fortune hunter on the lookout of a Treasure he found a clue to in his decedents Sir Francis Drake 400 year old coffin.
It is the only one game, I have seen on the PS3 (as it is a PS3 exclusive) which used the Console to it's limit, or so I thought until each consequently following release of Uncharted 2 and now 3.
I have finished Uncharted 3 just a couple of days ago, and this time - just like every time I finish an Uncharted Game - my eyes tried to leave my skull and It keeps me longing for more!
Uncharted 2 takes Nathan Drake and his companions through Asia, as they try to solve a mystery revolving around Marco Polos Doomed Voyage through Chine some time in the 13th Century.
The recently released Uncharted 3, tells more about Nathans History and the search through Arabia trying to find "Atlantis of the Sands" a City lost in the desert.
I was expecting a lot from the game but was given so much more! The textures, the music, the animations, the graphics overall, the voice acting, the attention to detail was so well maintained throughout the game. I was speechless and couldn't stop thinking of just keeping on going and hoping it would never end!
The Uncharted series is in my eyes, One of the best series, ever released for the PS3. I love for instance Assassins creed too, don't get me wrong, I just started playing revelations, however, Naughty Dog constantly increased their level of performance, upgraded their engine, basically upped the ante in each following game. One of the greatest parts of the game, each Cutscenes is actual in engine scrip running straight inside the games engine, and the game continues from there on out. no fade to black and then load or anything similar, just cutscene camera moves to character and game on! I love that!
I honestly can't wait to see the fourth installment of this great Series and play as Nathan Drake, the Cocky little bastard Character who keeps a cool head in hot situations and has a good comeback for any situation. (Voicework is by Nolan North! Talented guy!)
I have read in an interview, that there are still so many boundaries to push and hurdles to take that I honestly just cannot wait to play the next games.
Anyways, I'll head on out now, play some Assassin's creed and see what that is like!
Until next time, Game On!
