Uncharted Trilogy PS3 Game

Today I'm gonna write about a Playstation 3 Game series which I managed to successfully complete over a span of over 6months with lots of breaks (sometimes even for weeks) between playing the game. But yet, it never dampened my spirit to continue from where I left it even then and that's a real compliment to the flow and format of this game.

Uncharted follows a Shooting game format with a great deal of story invoking romance, suspicion, thrill and surprises with a lot of adventure and immense amount of things you get to learn about historical artifacts or rather myths. Even though, its just a game and much of what is narrated must've been tweaked to befit the storyboard of the game this game certainly keeps you hooked onto it, to discover and find out whats coming up next.

Uncharted Drake's Fortune : 



Although, this game is a thrill and personally my favorite amongst the 3 games. It does run the shivers down your spine as those ghostly creatures from the dead spring up from everywhere towards the end. One feels relieved when they're no more.. 
Otherwise, the game is really cool with good lot of stunts and great art direction. In fact, the art direction is superb in ALL the games. 

Uncharted Among Thieves



What I liked about this game is the creativity and ideas that the game designers have come up with. I mean a train falling off almost at the cliff of a mountain and he climbs back on. This is actually the midpoint of the game and yet it is where the game actually starts off. It is really pretty cool.

I feel this game has no levels which are scary and also this game bubbles up the love story to the next level between the two... Oh come on I'm not talking about Sully .. its Elena.. Oh how these guys find love by escaping together from plenty of sticky spots --- really charming!!! Always on the edge of things between life and death and all that philosophy retold over and over... yawn yhawn.

Lastly , coming to   Uncharted Drake's Deception : 




So Naughty Dog also knows how to give a happy ending with a friendship element in the end.. Now, this game was something of a reckoner.. it had a whole bunch of chapters in between which totally fell off the script.. I wonder if they were inspired from Hindu Mythological stories, if they were, total failure at it.. co Hindu mythological stories always makes sense when one sees the bigger pictures later on.. with so much layering in each event that takes place. 
Anyway, personally I enjoyed this game as it covered the desert lands pretty well.. they've got large portions of inaction in this one with more of story enacted here.. for a change it was good.. 

Practically, the time frame in terms of days or years showcased as the running time covering the series of incidents in reality is much less than other games. This game first gets drake kidnapped which is a toal waste plus later he drinks water and is totally gone bonkers in some fairyland illusionary world. 

On the whole, I feel this is the best shooting game series I've played till date... To be honest, I've never been a fan of shooting games but this game turned my perception 180 degrees. The biggest victory any game , story , or work of art can have is by converting a person who despises and hates 
something  into making that person actually not just love it but become a real fan of it.

Kudos!!!
