My younger brother purchased this game a few years ago at a local game store. The plot is fantastic, one of the best I've ever played. The controls are very simple and easy to learn. It is also a great beginner shooting game, with much adventure mixed in, instead of just total and nonstop violence. The whole game is a giant treasure hunt and is great for gamers over 11. This is one of my favorites and already a PlayStation classic.
This is indeed one of the best games for the PS3, possibly in the top 20. The gameplay is excellent, the graphics are gorgeous, the environments are breathtaking, the characters are unforgettable, what's not to like?
Well, there is one flaw with this game that prevents it from being perfect, and that is the amount of enemies in this game. You cannot go one full minute without getting involved in a gunfight. I feel like Naughty Dog fixed this problem with Uncharted 3, where there were still lots of boss fights, but they happened a lot less frequently. I think you should have spent more time exploring and finding treasure, than shooting enemies.
Another flaw is that most of the enemies seem to be immortal! I don't need to be an expert on human anatomy to know that if you get shot three times in the head at point blank range with a shotgun, you should be dead. But that's not the case in this game, where this did actually happen for me, and the enemy still survived. I also shot one in the neck six times in the neck, three in the chest, and one in the leg with a pistol and he survived as well. He had no special armor on or anything. He was pretty far away, but still, HE SHOULD BE DEAD!
Besides the endless amount of seemingly invincible enemies, this game is a masterpiece. It is a must-own for any PS3 player. Get this game!

Ok...

This game is ok, but don't be deterred, the rest of the series is phenomenal. The problem with this game is pretty much that it's the same thing over and over and over. You get to a new area, you shoot some guys, move, jump a bit, then start shooting again. Occasionally you get on a jet ski and the end mixes things up a bit, but other than that the game is way too repetitive. Of course, the game has some good parts to it. The characters and voice acting are great, and the graphics are very good for '07. The parts with a jet ski were great, especially when you have a flare gun (total overkill awesome!). Sadly, Drake's Fortune doesn't share the "wow" factor that both of its sequels have. Although it's not an amazing game, it is still a must-have as if you have a PS3, the Uncharted series is a must. Overall, this game does better as a start to a game series than it does as a single game.
Where do I start with this game... It's just truly the best game I've ever played. And, I'm not saying it's better than the other two, I have all three but only played and beat this first one so far. And just for the first in the series this game was outstanding. The graphics are INSANELY realistic, even for 2007. The sound sounded like actual people and the right emotion in the right situations. Although after you beat it's moderately lengthy 22 chapters. Sadly, there isn't a whole lot to do. Other than; A: Playing the game again perhaps on a harder difficulty. OR; B: spending time looking through the Uncharted Drakes fortune galleries you get (In the game of course). Okay, now to talk about the game-play. Taking Drake's role is great. the controls are nice and smooth. The climbing may often frustrate you when you keep falling but you'll always pull through eventually. The shooting to me I have nothing to complain for, with many nice guns to use and a third person shooter perspective that goes great with the game. You also at a couple points in the game get to shoot a turret from the back of a truck, and ride a jet ski in the water where you drive and also simultaneously have to control Elena and use her to shoot the bad guys. Alright, let's hurry up and get to the actual story itself. Well, It starts with you and a cunning reporter named Elena Fisher on a boat and you had found the tomb of sir Francis Drake. Nathan Drake's supposed ancestor who Nathan is following the footsteps of to eventually lead to the cursed treasure El Dorado. You also play the game a bit with Sully, a bit of a Father-Figure to Drake, and one of my personal favorite characters. The ending is awesome but I'm not gonna spoil it so I'm just going to end this review with saying the ending and all of the story is epic. And that you would not regret it if you bought this
