Humble beginnings and all that. The first Uncharted was a showcase for the PS3 and what Sony's first HD box was capable of early on in its lifecycle. Revisiting it now, it's almost funny how basic Nate's first romp is in nearly every aspect. The sequels later built upon, fine-tuned and ultimately delivered what was needed for a video game to replicate a Hollywood summer blockbuster, but Drake's Fortune is very much a foundation for greater things. What's here is reliable but never spectacular. That would come later.
