infexxionTop 5 Uncharted Moments!
Look out! It's Drake!
Here are the top 5 moments we've had in Uncharted!
#5 - Nepal
In Uncharted 2, in the first third of the game, you find yourself in Nepal with Chloe. This whole section of the game is one of the best, but the helicopter scene in particular stands out, and takes you over many rooftops and through a collapsing building to escape and eventually destroy your pursuing aircraft, and is easily one of the most tense and cintematic moments in the game.
#4 - Descendants!
In the first Uncharted game, towards the last part, you enter the facility and encounter a new type of enemy, giving the gameplay a fresh tweak and making it something more in the survival horror direction. The Descendants are zombie-like creatures who will pursue you relentlessly, and adds a fresh, nice, and unexpected twist for the game. I, for one, would be all for zombie DLC for Uncharted 3, anyone else?
#3 - The Ship
Uncharted 3 has many awesome set pieces. The chase in Syria. The burning Chateau. Wandering lonely in the desert, near death, looking for anything. Catching a plane, literally. But one segment towards the middle of the game stands out, it pits you on a ship against a secondary antagonist and at first, you venture into the ship, then one thing leads to another and you're trying to escape the ship, and during the whole time the storm and waves affect your movement and aiming ability, the whole segment just rocks, and even though it was shown and we were expecting it before release, it was still really awesome.
#2 - The Burning Chateau
I've played a lot of games, but no game has captured such tensity as the burning chateau segment in Uncharted 3, it had things constantly catching fire, burning, falling, blocking your path, and making you feel like this building is collapsing around you, the narrow escape attempts, and near-death scares were amazing, and the gorgeous graphics and realistic building destruction was the icing on the cake, truly one of the tensest moments in gaming history, even though we knew the outcome.
#1 - Train Segment
Uncharted 2 features one standout moment in particular. The moving train section. Every part of this segment screams amazing, the environment moves past you as quickly as as you're moving, you make your way towards the front of the train, but there's plenty opposition between you and them, and the game runs it all flawlessly, it takes you from a lush jungle setting up to a snowy mountain with no framerate hitches and even pits you against a helicopter, truly showcasing what the PS3 can do.
The Uncharted series is notable for its cinematic moments, and if I didn't list your favorite up here, or I got the order wrong in your opinion, let me know in the comments! Thanks for reading!
