Amazing
5Uncharted 3 is in my point of view one of the best games I have played. The graphics are so amazing that I find myself strolling in the cities just if I would if I visited the places in real life. It is a well balanced game with the right amount of shooting and puzzles and if you find the puzzles too difficult, there is no problem because the game will ask you if you want it to solve it for you. In conclusion I love it.

A pleasure from start to finish - excluding a few negatives!
4Well after 10 glorious hours, I finished Unchartered 3 last night. I decided to play the game on the hardest level available (HARD) to give myself a bit of a challenge (and to also get 3 trophies at once on completion - EASY, NORMAL & HARD completion trophies rewarded). It’s been so long since I either played UC or UC2, that I can barely remember the games so I am not going to make the usual comparisons between UC3 and its predecessors. Unchartered 3 has been described as a visual masterpiece via the usual glut of PS3 magazines such as PSM3..... and it is. In my opinion, it is beautiful. Probably Game of the Year if Graphics were the only scoring category, but alas it’s not and that is were UC3 falters and falls. Whilst playing the game, it cuts over to movie interludes all too often and nearly 40 - 50% of the game is set movies. Well thought out and enjoyable movie clips, but you have no control over what happens in them thus you are just a spectator for 50% of the game. And as this is a game, surely that is too much. Now some will disagree and say that it adds to the splendor and ambience of the overall Unchartered 3 experience, but personally I found it quite boring after the 1st couple of hours. The added Melee combat of attack (square), Counter-attack (triangle) and throw/grab (circle) is introduced right at the start of the game. You (Nathan) and Sully get involved in fisty cuffs in a bar and the game shows you how to punch, counter attack and throw your attackers over bars and pool tables. It’s a great way to get the game started and I loved it!! From that point the story structure of the game begins to unfold..... Throughout the game you will be required to take out an assortment of enemies using guns, rifles, shotguns, machine Guns, RPGs, etc. You will get the opportunity to ride a horse and jump form horse to truck and back to horse again. You will roll and dodge bullets from every direction and will be required to traverse cliffs, walls, hangers, trucks, statues etc. Through your (Nathans) journal, you will have the ability and help to solve puzzles scattered throughout the game ,..... and all this combines to give you the splendor of Unchartered 3!! So what are the negatives...? 1. The gameplay can be sluggish at times and slow. I found myself pushing down on the L3 stick hoping Nate would move faster. 2. There are certain parts of the game that add nothing of value to it. *Spoiler Alert* - Like the part in the desert when you are walking around looking for water. Too many scenes where you walk from one area to another to no avail. Felt like a time-filler to me. 3. Very, very linear. Now I know that it’s not an open world game and that is one of the reasons that it is the best game this year graphically (scenes and environments kept to a minimum), but it really is very limited on what you can do. So much so that the game will tell you were to go if you linger to long (you will notice a HINT appear). 4. Too many movie sections to the game (already discussed). Multi-Player & Co Op. Only played the MP for a couple of hours and that was primarily to get the "ThrillSeeker" trophy. Can't really comment on it but seemed like good fun. Noticed that the usual MP formats of Team DeathMatch, etc are all there. It takes the form of 3rd person shooter (same as the Solo) as compared to the FPS of games such as COD of BF. If you are playing Battlefield or Modern Warfare 3, then this won't hold your attention for long. As well as copying the usual game formats on MP, it also has level upgrades, xp and unlocks. If you love UC, you will most likely get hours of enjoyment out of this. The Co-Op consists of you and a friend following an objective and killing waves of enemies. Make sue to stay alive until such time as your objective is complete. You can revive one another if someone gets hurt and you start with 7 lifes. In conclusion, would I recommend Unchartered 3 - yes, absolutely. It’s a unique gaming experience and for the most part - enjoyable and positive. The graphics are brilliant. The sound and background noise are very well matched to the game play and the movies. Finally, the primary characters of Nathan and Sully are very well acted and you warm to them right from the beginning scenes of the game (aforementioned bar fight scene). However, rather than dish out £40 to buy the game, I would recommend you rent it for the week for the usual £5. You will complete the Solo Campaign in 8 - 12 hours and if you find that you love the MP section and co-op, then go purchase the game for the long run. I have restarted the game on very easy as I am trophy hunting, thus I am happy that I pre-ordered the game and paid top dollar for it. On scoring, I would give it 3.8 out of 5.0, thus will give it a four star and a thumbs up.

A great way to end a trilogy
5The first two Uncharted games were the reason I bought a PS3, pushing the benchmark of high quality action / adventure the likes of which had never been seen before. Uncharted 3 is no exception, as Naughty Dog has stepped up their game once again. The story follows Nathan Drake, the main character of the series, looking for one of Sir Francis Drakes lost treasures. With the aid of his colourful and diverse companions, he travels all over the world to find clues to lead him to his final destination. The first thing you notice when you start playing this game, besides the epic flowing storyline, are the graphics. Previous Uncharted games have been the benchmark a lot of PS3 games are compared to, and Uncharted 3 seems to push that even further; with incredible draw distances, spectacular lighting, and wonderful environments. The sound production behind this game is also great, with snappy dialogue between all the characters, even mid battle! It helps to give the action and exploration different emotions while playing; something that every action game needs to do well of it wants to immerse the player. Multiplayer in the game has also been improved from Uncharted 2, and while the single player game is the reason I’d recommend buying this game, it’s a nice bonus feature that is still fun and worth playing. There is also an online co-op play, separate from the story, which is a nice touch and is definitely worth playing if you have a mate who also owns the game. Uncharted 3 is an amazing game, one that will set the benchmark of all future action games. If you own a PS3, it’s really a crime not to own this game!

Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception
5U3 is so far the best game of the whole trilogy. With just enough puzzling, action, cinematics mixed in a very well measured proportion the game keeps player engaged from the first flashback to the last screenful of pixels. There's love, horror, friendship and betrayals, like in a good novel. Amazing graphics will make you want stay around forever and look at the desert sands, wonderfully formidable ocean waters or pillars and towers of Iram. And once you've found all the treasures in the single player campaign, there's absolutely phenomenal multiplayer - you will have to try each mode at least once, they all are an amazing experience and a lot of fun with friends and foes alike.

Like Uncharted 2...
5but even better than the previous. If you have played Uncharted 2, this game will be rather easy (even in brutal), but gaming experience is so great, so that doesn't bother too much. Beautiful and fully enjoyable game and worth of every penny.
