Again, you would think it would have a very derivative feel to it, but somehow (and I'm not quite sure how) it feels fresh and fun. The climbing and puzzle solving is very much like those in the Tomb Raider series, but the actual climbing feels a whole lot more like the Prince of Persia franchise. Enemies also use cover, attempt to flank, and flush you out with grenades, so the gunplay does have a very dynamic "never the same way twice" feel to it. Gunplay is pretty reminiscent of Gears of War because Nathan is really dependent upon cover if he's going to stay alive. This is the "Gears of War", "Prince of Persia", "Tomb Raider" portions of the game. Gameplay consists of about 40% third person shooting, 40% climbing puzzle solving, with 20% being a grab bag of driving, jet skiing, hand to hand combat, and quick time events. Before it's all over he will meet several bad guys along with a his debt riddled partner Sully, a crack journalist named Elena, and it's all wrapped under high adventure, tropical locations, dusty ruins, and a back stab or two along the way. He's serious when he needs to be, but is quick with a snarky remark, infinitely likable, and expertly voiced by Nolan North. Nathan has a very "Indiana Jones", tongue in cheek vibe to his character. This is the "Raiders of the Lost Ark" portion of the game. At the beginning of the game Nathan uncovers a lost journal that belonged to Sir Francis, a journal that might help point the way to Francis' lost treasure, the gold of El Dorado.
You play the game as Nathan Drake, a fortune hunter and descendant of Sir Francis Drake.
Naughty Dog has polished this game to a sparkle and it's my current favorite game for the PS3 platform. Uncharted: Drake's Fortune for the PS3 might be what some would call "derivative" of other games in the action genre, and in its way it is, but to brush it under the rug as derivative would be short sighted because you would be passing up one of the prettiest, most fun, engrossing, and addictive games ever created.
