Do not believe the hype, Uncharted far surpasses it
Uncharted provides us with one of, if not the most cinematic experiences in gaming...ever. The quality of the visuals and the fluidity of movement throughout the game is something not seen before in games, and in that regard Uncharted is, even at this point late in 2009, leading by example.
Now having crisp and beautiful visuals is important, but what about gameplay, gameplay is something that can make or break a game, and again in Uncharted's case it makes it. Uncharted has a perfect mix of close combat and gun play, a mix which is too hard for the gamer to not enjoy.
With brilliant visuals, gameplay, and a soundtrack which is simply masterful, Uncharted is the full package, one which is too good to ignore, and with the sequel just weeks away, do yourself a favour and pick up this masterpiece which is created by Naughty Dog, the genius' behind the Jak & Daxter series
