15 Best Moments In The Uncharted Series

15. Infiltrating The U-Boat (Drake's Fortune)

One of the first WTF moments in the entire franchise, finding the U-Boat in the early game of Drake's Fortune was the first indication that this PS3 release was going to be more imaginative than anything else on the console at the time.

It helped that the entire section was the first "big" thing you ever did in the series too, of course. Scaling and infiltrating the vessel before finding some invaluable clues that would help you on the way in discovering the legend of El Dorado provided a brilliantly-paced piece of narrative building, before an explosive finale.

Because coming out of the boat you're ambushed by an armed group, and Sully is even seemingly murdered in front of you, bringing around a suitably jaw-dropping end to the game's first act.

Sully's death is just a ruse, of course, but this first twist proved that the original Uncharted was setting itself up to become something more than your regular old gaming experience.
