Great game!
This game is worth the money...Great graphics...Very strong story line...It would make a good movie. The game play is excellent as well. I have nothing to complain about when it comes to this game.

Great Video Game and one of my favorites
I finished this game yesterday and let me give you my opinions and suggestions. First is, buy it if you are a true fan of adventure-treasure kind of games. Rent it first, and you will see like me that you love the game, but it is a one-time once in a while kind of game. Meaning: It's like a good movie.

The game is great, I like the story, there are scary parts, and some parts where you will try a few times before you are able to keep going. How hard is it? Not that much if you keep trying. If you keep track of what people say or follow up your main targets, then you will know where to go. Otherwise, you will be lost.

My most interesting poing about the game is that it had a scene that scared me the most and it was very well done. A little spoiler? The scene will happen when you are next to your enemy, and you actually have to fight with him against someone or something. Anyways, about the treasure, can't tell you because the treasure could be so many things, but I tell you now, is somehow gold related.

Now one of the things I like the most about this game, is the scenery, and how the adventure keeps going and going. The storyline is simple. Drake will follow his ancestor's guide or journal to get to El DORADO, a never found treasure. Drake goes to the Amazon South America, between Brazil and Peru, and goes through jungle, rivers, islands and the andes. The most interesting fact about this game is that it is historically accurate and the treasures you find exist in real life. Also, in gameplay you get to drive cars, waterbikes, jump across buildings, swing like Tarzan, use 8 different shooting weapons and grenades. You also use the hide and shoot technique used in Gears of War. Relating to health, you do not need to get something to replenish your health, you only need 10 seconds of free attacks to recover if you are badly injured, mostly, if you get shot 5 times in a row. Sometimes the L2 button will appear in the screen letting you know that if you press it, you will be able to see a hint. Of course in just 1 scene there are a significant amount of ways you could follow, so that is helpful.

The game has very realistic backgrounds and sounds. This game becomes a 10 to 15 minute third person shooter and does not let go until you kill everyone. You can dodge, jump and hang on to every ledge you see. Also, you have to be quick using your handgun. When you run out of ammo, the only way to find more, is by taking ammo from people you kill. Finally, some cons for me: length and characters. Maybe just four or five more hours of gameplay and this would have been game of the year. Some of the characters are laughable, voices are good, dialogue is pretty decent. I would have hoped for some bosses once in a while, like a soldier that differs from the others, uses a knife or a chainsaw or something, and gives Drake a real beating.

That's my opinion, 9.2 kind of game.

Most action-filled ps3 game!
This game gets pretty amazing, and the further you go, the more you just want to keep playing. I loved this game so much that I started playing through it again directly after beating it. It's full of action and multiple different gameplay elements. Great game and definitely worth a buy for all ps3 owners.
