The issue is that the first Uncharted game has combat controls that are in their infancy compared to what they'd become later. Enemies spawn in massive numbers, are pinpoint-accurate if you're out of cover, the weapons aren't well-balanced, the melee "extra ammo" kills are wonky to execute, and a good bit of the platforming is a trial-and-error chore. The game is clunky. It doesn't mean I didn't enjoy playing it, but it means it's far from a smooth experience.

    I found it enjoyable even after all these years. Even the gun play wasn't that bad for me personally. I even beat it on brutal, which I suggest not doing unless you love to spawn and die in one spot for an hour then maybe dead eye dick misses his shot giving you the chance to shoot him first. My biggest gripe is the melee combat and of course the jet ski parts. The zombies is the best part and in my opinion the best supernatural part in the entire series. UN2 guardians were cool but they didn't give me the feeling that the zombies did and the UN3 hallusionan was weak in my opinion. I am surprised you didn't mention how the MP40 has 35 rounds in the mag instead of 32.

    That aside, it's an apt retrospective of 1. I haven't played it since I've first done so, and you highlight its main problems rather well. The absence of Sully for most of the game hurts, and after having played 3 first, I'm to this surprised they did it again in 2. So in retrospect, I suppose that, at the end of the day, I'm just glad this one exists lol

I loved everything about it because it showcased the last revolutionary jump in console performance - PS2 to PS3. And I was playing Raiders! Flaws? Sure, but for the most part, it was everything I wanted in a game. I've replayed U1 many times. I forgive all the faults because of how much I loved it when I played it the first time.

I have never found myself having any problems with the shooting, that being said, the jet ski is… yep it’s bad, but generally I enjoy the gameplay. I’ve beaten Drake’s Fortune more times than any other Uncharted game due to its short length and nostalgia factor, even beating it on crushing. While Drake’s Fortune isn’t my fav Uncharted game, I still prefer it to Uncharted 3, a game which I don’t enjoy that much. I look forward to the rest of your Uncharted reviews!

    This entries combat does appear difficult but i retried it after a couple years and after running through this on crushing and a couple of speed-runs later you learn the quarks of it. For example run-and-gun has god tier levels of aim assist to the point where i found myself using it in tight space instead of melee (especially with the shotgun). Melee and bullets multiply damage so blasting 2 enemies from far away then running up and finishing em off with a punch works surprisingly well. You can stun enemies for a brief second with one shot and use that time to fight them then move to a new bit of cover. Dodge rolling works for every enemy type not just the laser ones.
    IDK Maybe I just do well inspite of the bad combat.

    I played this game for the first time this year (2013) and loved it. My last console was the PS1 so it’s been a few years, but this is the most fun I’ve had playing a game (until Uncharted 2, 3 4 and Lost Legacy which I’ve also completed). I don’t get the complaint about the combat, it’s seems fine to me and even the jest ski section was fun. Yes, controlling it took a bit of getting used to but a good time was had and I looked forward to replaying these sections on my crushing play through. This is the first game I liked enough to platinum (okay i tried to get the platinum trophy for WipEout Omega but the Zone levels are just too boring). Coming into the game after so long away from gaming, I found it to be an absolute thrill ride and it reinvigorated my love of gaming.

    Man this game was tough. Just played it for the first time, clunky and just bonkers directions. Died like 100 times lol. Loved the rest so far though!

    I couldn't possibly disagree more with the premise of this video. Uncharted 1 is not only my favorite Uncharted game by far, it's still in my top 5 games of all time!
