Uncharted is exactly what it's cracked up to be. It's a great story with engaging setpieces and competent gameplay. It might be on the shorter side, but it's paced very well, with no part of the gameplay feeling like it overstayed its welcome. I do wish that some of the puzzles could have been deeper than they were, so I hope that the next games can improve in that area. I'd also like to emphasize how big this use of voicework, mocap and cinematography must have been for 2007.

Give it a whirl. It's low investment, high enjoyment, and those types of games are sorely missed these days.
