First PS3 Review!!

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune is one of the games that just made the PS3 more better in this world. It has a kickbutt treasure hunter, a serious plot, and the hunt for El Dorado, the golden one. Sure, it has its ups and downs, but does the pros, do better than the cons?
Story:
The story begins with Nathan Drake, out in the ocean opening a tomb which supposedly was to keep Sir Francis Drake, Nate's supposedly ancestor. Following along him is a reporter, Elena Fisher, who is doing a story about it. They get interuppted by pirates because a certain hunter doesn't have a stupid permit. (Or is it another purpose? Just to be sure.) After that, we meet Sully, Drake's partner, then they ditch Elena, to find what Francis Drake was looking for: El Dorado. But that is a tidbit of the story. The story is pretty good, there's just some problems in it.
Graphics:
Well, let me just say something about those graphics: If you are looking a realistic, moving game with moves you have not seen in a regular video game, this section is for you. The graphics are crisp, clean, and a bit a polish in between. The camera for when you spin it around, the scenery gets blurry and moves like it was real. I think Ragdoll was used in this game, due to the moves the enemies put after they get blown up, or at least get shot.
Gameplay:
WHAT THE HECK WAS I PLAYING??? The gameplay is awesome, but is below incredible due to uneven gameplay. For instance, the stealth is a disgrace because, even if you're 1 foot away from the guy, he can still find you. The difficulty is great. Even on easy, it's hard to do. The enemies are awesome. Before you die, you see the screen getting brighter and brighter, if it's too bright: ****! you die. Every time you get a accomplishment, you win these medals you can use for rewards in the gallery. There's also treasures, even a strange relic, you can collect to win medals too.
Presentation:
The voice acting is great. Nolan North plays a great Nate Drake, Emily Rose is also good for Elena Fisher too. The way that Naughty Dog had a perfect way of making this game is due to motion capturing, which was a pretty good idea from the start. The score is also good and it makes you feel like you are on the island. The only problems in this game is that I hate the Jet ski levels. You can't drive and shoot at the same time.(Until later during the game. There's a bit of a glitch in the game. I don't know if you had this problem before, but it happened to me. Everything else is g
