    Went back and did a platinum play through of this over the past week or so. Enjoyed myself thoroughly and I'm glad I'm a few years out of playing any other Uncharted game so the combat didn't feel so terrible. Reading through the posts on here everyone seems to be saying it's a crap game because Uncharted 2 is better. You know what they say, comparison is the thief of joy. Luckily I won't be Among Thieves until I hop into Uncharted 2.

      Editing … The tweaks they made for the PS4 were a big improvement but on Crushing difficulty I've still died so many times for bullshit reasons I have no idea how I managed to nab the Platinum on PS3.

      Editing … Yea, Crushing was mostly just finding the right wall to hide behind and having luck with where the AI was going. I'm not even going to attempt Brutal difficulty.

    Oh god I hate this game now. Just finished it on hard and it was horrible; the game has great music and even visuals, but fuck the game. There are tedious as fuck platforming areas, like a church ceiling, where if you die (usually because Nate flips the fuck out) you have to do the entire section over again, despite the fact that they have a checkpoint system...

    And there are so many long grindy combat sequences, sometimes the game even drops enemies on you as you move between areas forcing you to take damage. Oh and the fucking river barrels... whoever designed that area of the game can go make love to a frog. I can't believe how much crap my nostalgia had glossed over!

    I'm definitely not playing Uncharted 2 on hard now though, I've learned my lesson...

      Editing … Man, that jet-ski section still gives me nightmares :P Theres a reason the first game isn't even in my top 50

      Editing … If you aren't stubborn you can, but I just couldn't bring myself to. The main issues (like the platforming, or bad controls) aren't part of the difficulty settings anyway, though playing the game on easier would make them less painful.

      Editing … The jet ski part was annoying, but I didn't have those other problems with the game to nearly the same extent you did.

    This was my favourite in the series until I replayed it... my memory really glossed over how horrible the combat and even platforming are. Great story but screw the gameplay!

      Editing … Yeah, I played Drake's Fortune after Among Thieves and the step back in gameplay was a bit jarring.

      Editing … The only gameplay improvement I remember between Uncharted 1 and 2 was that grenades were easier to use. I was actually disappointed because I was hoping that in the sequel I'd be able to have more than two guns and be able to upgrade them RE4 style.

      Editing … I think there are a fair number of people who rank 3 above 2, probably the same number of people who like 1 more than 3. The real minority is liking 1 more than 2, like me.

    What a game... it left me in awe and the series is the best series ever to happen so far to gaming.

    This game hasn't really convinced me the sequel's worth playing.

    It was OK, I doubt I'll ever go back to replay it though, the story was good but the gameplay wasn't that great.

    Seems pretty good so far, nothing amazing but a solid game.

    Once again Naughty Dog kicks off a new franchise on a new system, and the Uncharted games may be their best yet. Combining Tomb Raider and Prince of Persia environmental climbing with cover-based fire fights, Uncharted really is a modern Indy adventure. The first game is a little rough around the edges gameplay-wise: the gunplay is a little repetitive and low number of enemy types results in usual strategy for most of the game, and melee attacks aren't useful most of the time. The best quality of the game however is the cinematic feel it exudes, and I mean that in the best possible way. The characters are likeable, acting is outstanding, and the pacing is superb, you always want to play a little more to find out what happens next.

    Seeing how this game was made by Naughty Dog, I expected to get a compelling new universe, filled with charming characters and a rock-solid, fun gameplay to boot. What I got was: boredom and frustration. Two words that I didn't think I'd use for a ND's game.
    Pros: Some of the side characters, good writing, solid story, occasionally interesting
    Cons: Shooting feels off, vehicular sections are infuriating, platforming's a joke, usually boring locales, generic enemies, main character is bland
