IGN Reviews Uncharted a 9.1/10

It's been a rough year for the PLAYSTATION 3, with exclusives like LAIR, Heavenly Sword, and Folklore getting mixed reviews throughout the web, everyone turned to Uncharted: Drake's Fortune for the future. And according to IGN, Uncharted comes well done, their breakdown:

Presentation - 9.5
The whole thing has the polish of a major motion picture and goes out of its way to immerse you in the experience with amazing cutscenes, music and more.

Graphics - 9.0
There's no doubt the game looks great and that the use of in-game assets for the movies is seamless transition, but there's still a fair amount of screen tearing and texture pop in.

Sound - 9.5
From the low instrumental piece accompanying the opening screen to the sweeping score that runs throughout the whole game, this is what videogame music should be.

Gameplay - 9.0
This game is flat-out fun to play. Leaping from ledges is awesome, shootouts are fun, and the occasional vehicle section is a nice change of pace. Still, the pirate battles can be a bit much.

Lasting Appeal - 8.5
The game is short, but the medals, rewards and bonuses should be enough to bring you back at least once.

OVERALL - 9.1/10
(out of 10 / not an average)
