One of the best looking games graphic wise I've ever played. I love this game and it can be played by almost any audience. There is occasional blood shed but it's very thin. When you shoot some one with a pistol little drops of blood pop out where you shot them. You can hardly even tell as long as you don't shoot them in the head with a shotgun at point blank range it's not that violent. Easy controls and a very fun story line. This game talks about a guy name Drake who claims he's the lost nephew of the great Sir Francis Drake. That's all I'm going to say to not spoil the rest of the game. Hoped this helped.

What Parents Need to Know
This review of Uncharted: Drake's Fortune was written by Marc Saltzman
Parents need to know that this game has plenty of shooting and cursing. That said, neither the violence nor the language pushes the envelope, but be aware there's frequent curse words (s--t, a--hole, God damn, son of a bitch, etc.) and you can shoot enemies -- who are human -- in the leg or arm or head (which will result in a different animation). When the player is shot, a blood red border fills the screen to tell the player death is near.

- Families can talk about whether Nate Drake, the protagonist, would be as cool if he didn't swear so often or if he tried to use non-violent approaches. He appears to be a scruffy, charming, and insubordinate treasure-hunter, so perhaps it fits his image, but would the game be as fun if it were rated "E" or "E10+" with less violence, swearing, and smoking?

What’s the Story?
UNCHARTED: DRAKE'S FORTUNE really gets going about two hours into the game, when agile treasure-hunter Nathan Drake and a female videographer crash land on a dangerous isle in search of the legendary El Dorado. This PS3 exclusive is played from a third-person perspective in which you control Nate as he swims rivers, jumps chasms, swings from vines, and exchanges fire with mercenaries -- all without losing his charm while trying to impress his reluctant sidekick, Elena Fisher.
Nate can duck for cover by tapping the O key on the controller, and then twist around to aim (L1) and fire (R1) at enemies using a variety of weapons. If you get shot too many times, the screen begins to fade to black and white with a red border, which means you better find cover before it's "game over." Fortunately, the auto-save feature does a great job at picking up where you left off. Along with exploration and combat, Nate must also be adept at puzzle-solving as he inches toward the fabled treasure.
CloseIs It Any Good?
Despite some shimmery edges around parts of the environment, such as trees, the graphics are great, especially the fluid character animation and huge outdoor levels. Plus, every few minutes you will be treated to a short cinematic interlude to help push the story along. There are more than 100 minutes of these high-quality non-interactive sequences and they help add to the suspension of disbelief.
The high production values will attract you to Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, but its tense gameplay will keep you glued to the TV. Armchair adventurers might feel a bit of deja vu with the many borrowed Tomb Raider -like elements, but you won't be disappointed with this polished and immersive single-player journey.

A must own for adventure lovers!
Excellent graphics, excellent story, excellent gameplay! Unfortunately for younger gamers there is a lot of swearing in this game. Also, although it's not graphic, there is a lot more violence than I expected from this type of game. Overall there's really not much you won't see on tv but young children shouldn't be watching a lot of what's on tv anyway.

perfect for 13 and older and fine for 12
Uncharted is a great game for the ps3. The graphics and storyline are both amazing. There is quite alot of shooting but it is not very intense. The game has puzzles to solve which can be very tricky and add a bit more feeling to the game. Sadly there is no online play for the game. There are some dark scenes in the game that can be quite scary but overall i would give this game 85%

A Great Game
Some violence but my family has no issue with that.The things I dont get about this game is how they pulled it off.This game is fantastic and the violence is NOT that bad.So what if this has a guy smoking.This has some pretty PG-13 language so games are kinda like movies.Lots of people think this game is not for kids well I think it should be owned by a responsible kid.Really if you dont let your kid watch any violence is that because you dont trust your kid?If that is really think about it.I think your kid should be able to play this game.
