Uncharted: Drake's Fortune.
Developer: Naughty Dog
Genre: Action-adventure, third person shooter, platformer.
Game mode: Single-player
My Rating: ★★★★☆
I like a great adventure game, where you need to shoot, solve puzzles and with a good sense of humour. The 'uncharted -series' is great for that. Uncharted has also an amazing storyline, which is nice. You can play hours on this game without getting sick of it. So I definitaly recommoned this game! However, the first game -Drake's fortune- is in my opinion, the least fun to play in the whole series, but still fun to play. A perfect blend between humor and action.
Storyline: (Spoiler alert)
Treasure hunter Nathan "Nate" Drake, accompanied by reporter Elena Fischer, recovers the coffin of his self-proclaimed ancestor Sir Francis Drake, having located it from coordinates inscribed on a family heirloom: a ring Nate wears around his neck. The coffin contains Sir Francis Drake's diary, which gives location of El Dorado. Pirates attack and destroy Nate's boat, but Nate's friend and mentor Victor "Sully" Sullivan rescues the two in his seaplane. Fearing Elena's reporting will attract potential rivals, Nate and Sully abandon her at a dock.
Following the diary to the indicated spot, Nate and Sully discover an alcove that once held a large statue, and realize that 'El Dorado' means "the golden man" and that El Dorado was a tribal chief who covered himself in gold dust. They find a Nazi U-boat, which contains a page from Drake's diary showing the statue was taken to an island. However, mercenaries led by criminal Gabriel Roman, to whom Sully owes a massive debt and his lieutenant Atoq Navarro intercept Nate and Sully. Sully is seemingly killed by a shot to the chest, but Nate manages to escape, encounters Elena, and flies with her to the island.
On the way, anti-aircraft fire forces Elena and Nate to bail out and they are separated. After retrieving supplies from the wrecked seaplane, Nate heads toward an old fort to find Elena. Briefly captured by pirates led by his old associate Eddy Raja, Elena breaks Nate free and they flee to the island's old customs house. After finding records showing the statue was moves further inland, they find that Sully is alive and accompanying Roman and Raja. Nate and Elena find and rescue Sully who, having survived due to Drake's diary blocking the bullet, explains he was buying time for Nate by misleading Roman.
Searching through the tunnels of a monastery, Nate overhears an argument between Romand, Navarro and Eddy, revealing that Romand hired Eddy to capture Nate and secure the island, with the reward being a share of El Dorado. Following Nate's escape, Roman doubts Eddy's abilities and ignores his claim that something cursed on the island is killing his men, leading him to dismiss Eddy and his crew. Regrouping, Nate and Elena find a passage leading to a treasure. They encounter a terrified Eddy and crew member, shortly before they are attacked by mutated humans who kill the crew member. Despite Nate's efforts, Eddy is also killed when on drags him into a pit.
Nate and Elena escape and find themselves in an abandoned German bunker, Venturing into the base, Nate discovers that the Germans had sought the statue during World War II, but like the Spaniards before them, became cursed from the statue, causing them to become mutants. Sir Francis, knowing of the statue's power, attempted to keep it on the island by destroying the ships and flooding the city, before he too was killed by the mutants.
Nate returns to find Elena has been captured by Roman and Navarro. Regrouping with Sully, he fails to stop them from reaching the statue. Navarro, knowing of the curse, tricks Roman into opening the statue, revealing it to be a sarcophagus containing a mummy infected with an airbone mutagenic virus. Upon Roman turning into one of the mutants, Navarro kills him and takes control of his men, planning to sell the virus as a biological weapon. Nate jumps onto the sarcophagus and rides it as it is airlifted onto a boat in the bay. He engages and defeats Navarro and manages to sink both the sacrophagus and him to the bottom of the ocean. Sully arrives, and after Nate and Elena display affection towards each other, they leave the island with several chests of treasure.
