Can this possibly be better than Uncharted:Drake's Fortune?

  That's impossible.

  Very easily, I'd say, but then I loved Legend and Anniversary while, graphics aside, the Uncharted demo did so little for me I didn't even buy it.

      Indeed. Because, I'm sorry to say, it seemed shit from the demo and I've seen almost nobody say it was an awesome game. Lots of people said it was okay, or the best game on the PS3 at the time, but neither of those are enough for me to drop money on something that had a shitty demo.
      
      TR:L and TR:A both had excellent demos which is why I bought both of them.

    Did you only play the demos of Legend and Anniversary? If not, it's hardly a fair comparison.

      Depends if the Uncharted demo is representative of the game. The controls were nasty (IMO), the combat was annoying and there was no real exploration or environmental-puzzles beyond incredibly simple stuff. The setting reminded me of Far Cry a hell of a lot. The graphics were good.
