i like it but it has lots of blood, violence, and language. there is one smoking part, but its only for like a second. kids might be able to handle it if they mute it, but they say the directions so you wont know how to play.

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.
Is 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.

good for 13+
uncharted is a good game but it has some language.the launguage is'nt that bad juring gameplay but the cutseens can get a little rough.they say words like b!tch,d@mb,sh!t,and a$$.if you mute the cutseens the worse you'll here is a$$.thers a little blood in gameplay and a little in the cutseens.in one cutseen neer the begining of the game you enter a submarine and in the submarine theres a skelaton with bood on it and some blood on the floor.the game also gets a little scarry at the end when wierd human looking creatures that crawl on four legs attack you. the role modles and the messages are good and bad at te same time.it teaches you to never give up and nate(the main character)never gives up but he bends the rules to do it.over all its a good game for people 13+

- My concerns are:
- Excessive violence
- Inappropriate language
- My highlights are:
- Easy to play
It is a very fun game, but when you shoot someone blood splatter.When you walk up too them there is no blood.The game is not all shooting, but there is lots of puzzles and jumping of from ledge to ledge. When your hurt there is no blood but the screen loses its color until you found shelter and have healed.
