Story
Have you found Drake's Fortune, spent time Among Thieves or uncovered the mystery behind Drake's Deception and are still looking for more gripping Uncharted action? Then grab your PlayStation Vita and ready yourself for Uncharted: Golden Abyss, Nathan Drake's thrilling first foray into portable gaming.
Set prior to the events of the action-packed Uncharted: Drake's Fortune on PlayStation 3, this prequel from developer Sony Bend Studio tasks you with uncovering the dark secret behind the massacre of a Spanish expedition to Central America some 400 years ago.
Caught between the rivalry of old friend, Jason Dante, and Marisa Chase, the granddaughter of an archaeologist who mysteriously vanished, you're going to have to traverse ancient ruins and treacherous jungle terrain in a bid to find out the truth.
Do you think you have what it takes to venture deep into the Golden Abyss on PS Vita? Then here is your chance to prove it.
Colourful cast
Uncharted: Golden Abyss features an intriguing cast of characters for you to spend time with, none more so than the series' hero, Nathan Drake voiced by acclaimed video game actor, Nolan North.
The globe-trotting treasure hunter is joined in this latest instalment in the blockbuster series by two characters welcomed into the Uncharted universe for the first time - Jason Dante and Marisa Chase.
Dante is an old friend of Drake and Victor 'Sully' Sullivan. In fact, it was Drake that taught Dante all he knows about treasure hunting, so they share a lot of history together and this richly developed background shines through in the witty banter penned by the team at Sony Bend Studio and overseen by Uncharted creators, Naughty Dog.
Joining the duo on their quest is Marisa Chase, a feisty explorer and granddaughter of an archaeologist who went missing while searching for the same answers as Drake and his companions. And like every character in this brilliantly realised world on PlayStation, Marisa has got secrets, so be prepared for plenty of twists and turns as the story hurtles towards its epic conclusion.
A new way to play
Uncharted: Golden Abyss on PS Vita features the same spectacular action that can be found in its big brother on PlayStation 3, only now you can play it anywhere and any time in amazing detail, thanks to the stunning OLED screen.
You can jump, swing, slide and traverse the jaw-dropping environments using either the PS Vita system's dual analog sticks or a combination of both these and the engrossing and intuitive controls, such as the rear touch pad or touchscreen.
When using the touchscreen to climb a wall or cliff edge, you simply slide your finger along the designated route and Drake will follow your commands. You can also use the touchscreen to take down unsuspecting enemies. To do this, sneak up behind an opponent and tap the screen when prompted to perform a deadly stealth kill.
These fantastic new touchscreen features add a whole new depth of gameplay to the experience on PS Vita that, while taking a little getting used to at the outset, offer up one of the most engrossing Uncharted adventures on PlayStation to date.

You really do not appeciate how powerful the Playstation Vita is until you have played this Uncharted: Golden Abyss. I am honestly addicted to it and it has made me fall madly in love with my new best friend, my Playstation Vita.
Being made by a diffirent studio, Studio Bend (by the same guys that made Resistance Retribution PSP) I must admit that I was unsure as to whether this game would feel like an uncharted title but every little aspect of Golden Abyss makes you love the uncharted brand even more.
The Touch screen aspect (front and back) adds so much to the gameplay that I am positive if a new Uncharted comes out on PS3 that it will feel like its missing a key gameplay mechanic because of these new additions. There are no "gimmicks" to it, the whole touch screen, motion sensing, camera light sensing, photo, climbing, attacking, Paper etching, piecing together maps back together etc. features now included create a new gameplay dynamic that uncharted needed to keep it from becoming a 3rd person run and gunner, and give you a whole new way to interact with the characters in their environments, puzzles and even light sources.
Being a prequel to Uncharted 1, I was happy to hear many of the first games songs being included in the PSV game, keeping ground with the games jungle vibe - In fact, fans of the first uncharted will feel right at home as this game, although action packed, is not as gunplay focused as 2 and 3. The characters feel like the original cast (including Nolan north reprising his role) and the new characters are intersting enough to make cameo's in future Uncharted titles.
Uncharted: Golden Abyss Plays like its big brother PS3 versions and looks so good that you forget you are playing on a handheld! Scores a solid 9/10 from me.

I am enjoying this more on the second run through than I did initially, but unlike Tea I think that the touch screen and pad elements add nothing to the gameplay really. The touchscreen makes platforming too easy and the piecing together of docs feels too much like a CSI game. Other than that the story is great, as are the actors and the normal UC shooting is also pretty good.

I will say that everything you say about Uncharted seems accurate but outside of a little play time, I ain't going to get this until its cheaper or until an MP patch.
The truth of the matter is that MP has become a standard in the series since UC2... it should have been there. Especially with Sony Bend who have done MP before.

@ Magius - CSI - I think thats the reason I like the touch screen aspect, it gives you the feeling that you are helping solve these little puzzles and the chance to interacting with the treasures or maps that usually disappear offscreen into inventory when discovered in normal games.
I must admit that very rarely do I use the touch screen for the rock climbing mechanic except with the rope climing - that comes in very useful - The touch pad at the back really shines when sniping and taking pictures
The smartest thing that bend studios did was not force gamers to use those new features as you can play 80 percent of the game as standard Uncharted experience (except the touch screen puzzles of course, but dont be surprised if Uncharted 4 comes with Vita support
)
