    Is anything as hype an as balls to the wall as Uncharted 3? Probably not and that´s a shame

    2021 review, it doesn't age well.
    it feels a bit generic and super repetitive, when you encounter the big guys that you need to defeat hand to hand for the 5th time you just want to kill yourself.
    They added nothing new compared to Uncharted 2.
    Voice acting was good, and some other elements are good too but I give it a 5 because I was expecting more after the 2nd installment in the series

    Great story, great graphs, awesome soundtrack full of thrilling moments and amazing gameplay. The perfect ending for a Ps3 trilogy. Drakes Deception, is one of those games you want to play every once in a while.

    Very similar to the previous game. Graphics are beautiful for the time, animations are still high quality. But after a very strong start the story starts loosing focus and the set pieces although good aren't anywhere near number 2.

    This franchise never seaze to amaze, slightly equal to the previous UN2 but not better, yet smart sequel’s sequel, great missions and locations, better graphics and more insane set-pieces, action packed but doesn’t feel connected might be story flawed but still better than many games out there, the soundtrack is the best in the series, a nearly 9.5/10 must play masterpiece .

    In my opinion, Drake's Deception is the best of the trilogy. It had the most interesting story and most cinematic scenes of the three. Even after some many years it is still amazing.

    My favourite Uncharted game. Naughty Dog were at their finest with this one in my opinion and the way they pushed the CELL was amazing. In some regards, I miss Amy Hennig's direction for the studio.

    Bueno, la tercera entrega de la saga, a diferencia de las dos que le preceden, muy similares entre a sí a simple vista, cambia la fórmula original y hace un cambio notable en la jugabilidad.

En Uncharted 2, perfeccionaron la terrible jugabilidad que ofrecía la primera parte, por ello pienso que cambiar este aspecto en el tercer juego es un error gravísimo. El sistema de disparo empeora mucho; la escalada es similar pero tiene ligeros matices que en ocasiones te hace sentir raro, pero aún así no es un aspecto negativo en este videojuego; esta vez se le da mas importancia al combate cuerpo a cuerpo, no entiendo el motivo ya que consiste en darle a tres botones; la historia no es nada del otro mundo, supongo que es acorde al proyecto; ya sabemos como trabaja Naughty Dog, y gráficamente no se le puede poner ninguna pega; los puzzles en esta entrega son más largos, pesados y frustantes, no le aportan nada positivo al desarrollo de la historia; la duración es entorno a 7 horas, aceptable; y por último, la diversión que nos ofrece el juego. Personalmente, este es el punto mas difícil de criticar, es decir, ¿el videojuego, a rasgos generales, está bien hecho? Sí. ¿Es divertido? No. Puede llegar a ser entetenido porque realmente está bien realizado, pero no nos ofrece la diversión que nos ofrecía Uncharted 2. No sabría decir si es el cambio en la jugabilidad, la irrelevancia que genera la historia, o la repetividad de las misiones, pero este juego no es nada divertido. Por eso creo que aunque la ejecución se buena, el resultado es mediocre.

    It has all the pros of the previous versions plus better movement animations which we see more of these in naughty dog's next game,"the last of us" music gives you goosebumps, storytelling is still amazing and surprises you though felt a little repeated.

    Одна из лучших игр десятилетия, которая хоть и уступает второй части, но не имеет равных среди тех игр, которым я ставлю 9-ку, потому ставлю ей именно 10. Такие игры это редкость

    worst uncharted game
    Uncharted 2 > uncharted 1 > uncharted 3

    Very long/annoying combat. Annoying difficulty spikes. Average cover shooter with good graphics and good story.
    Pacing issues, some combat too long. No new mechanics in terms of gameplay through out the entire game

    Ein atmosphärischer und bombastischer 3rd-Person-Shooter, der die Reihe in Ehren fortsetzt. Level, wie der Flugzeugabsturz oder die Schiffskatastrophe werde ich nie vergessen. Leider sind die Online-Server abgeschaltet.

    I liked the story, characters, art style / presentation and locations. What I disliked or better said what failed to impress me was the gameplay. For reference: This was my first Uncharted game and I started here because it was recommendation by a friend and also available for just 15 Euros. In short I was amazed and slightly disappointing at the same time. The Uncharted franchise is huge,I liked the story, characters, art style / presentation and locations. What I disliked or better said what failed to impress me was the gameplay. For reference: This was my first Uncharted game and I started here because it was recommendation by a friend and also available for just 15 Euros. In short I was amazed and slightly disappointing at the same time. The Uncharted franchise is huge, well know and sold tons of games. I expected something like the Tomb Raider reboot but more cinematic and more action orientated. I say it is a fitting enough description for the game for me. The story follows Nathan Drake and his friend / partner / father figure Victor Sullivan on a quest that could lead to uncover the legendary lost city of Iram which is called “Atlantis of the Sands”. On a sidenote: This is actually a city believed to really have existed. It was mentioned in various sources and historians / archaeologist still debate where Iram was located. Back to the game. As other parties are involved too it becomes a cat and mouse game and a hunt around the world. Also you see more of the backstory of the characters like Nathan and Victors first meeting. The story is well done and I praise the ideas, pacing and characters. Be it the main character, Sully or the antagonist I wont / cant spoil. I think this is excellent material for a good videogame movie adaptation (My second thoughts were that they will screw this up the same way as other franchises). From graphics and technical side it is also excellent. The character models were excellent and for its time it was truly amazing. The motion capturing and voice acting is close to being a Hollywood movie and did impress me. For the gameplay: I enjoyed the puzzles and think there were some good ideas. However the battles / fights were not my cup of tea. It is nothing that distinguish it much from other games. I would also like more room for exploration. In short I often rushed through fights to continue the story. I want to again mentioned that the fights are excellently crafted and the presentation is good. They somehow fail to win me over which is a bit strange as other similar games succeeded. Cant exactly pinpoint this. Overall this was a really good game and I see clearly why it became a hit and has a loyal fanbase. For me it is not entirely my cup of tea. I say it is a masterpiece that I find good not awesome and I am curious how much negative ratings I get for this here on Metacritic.… Expand

Gun play is atrocious compared to UC2. Enemies are bulletsponges, bulletvest enemies take like 3 clips to kill on normal. Game constantly throws at you snipers and grante launchers in every shooting sequence. It's mechanic force you to take a cover yet you constantly have to move and look at your back because enemies spawn behind you out of nowhere. Not to mention shotgun enemies somehow can one shot from 10km distance... Camera work doesn't help at all, you can't even see what you are doing when in move. Moreover f@ckin ret4rd Drake always takes cover when you want him to roll and rolls when you want him to take a cover, or starts hanging when you want him just to jump.
    There even more f@ckin climbing (push x) and ruining (hold forward) sequences that feel like interactive cut scene. Game really feels like a movie, and a **** one. Plot is beyond ret4rded and even get unnecessary filer with pirates.

    Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception ... Where to start? After the amazing couple, I thought that nothing better could come, and yet it still works, and Naughty Dog really got over it here, because this action bomb has not been surpassed by any game for a long time.

After the amazing couple, I thought that nothing better could come, and yet it still works, and Naughty Dog really got over it here, because this action bomb has not been surpassed by any game for a long time. The third part of Uncharted repeats what the second one does. He takes things that worked in the previous game and improves them. The two have improved them dramatically and the three is still honing them to perfection. In the second part, I praised the snowy locations, but it's even better here. We will see the desert and I love the desert and this was perhaps the best I've experienced in the game. In addition to all this, the beautiful graphics, which already excelled in pairs and were slightly improved here. As far as the story is concerned, here it is in my opinion the best of the whole series. I don't want to spoiler much, but right at the beginning of the game it all looks pretty inconspicuous to us, but it's going to crumble fast enough and a plot is made right away and yes, as I mentioned, it happens quickly and that's exactly the key to the whole game. Everything is fast here! The game has an incredible pace and especially the last hours of the game is the absolute adrenaline that the game will release on you and you won't even be able to breathe at that moment. In addition to all this, a perfect negative, which improves it all a bit and one passage with it was really a luxury, but again I don't want to spoiler. For me, this is an excellent game that I recommend.… Expand

    The characterisations by the actors is second to none and even though this tall-tale takes you to fantastical places and events, the script is never once unbelievable. You never feel like an outsider. If anything, you'll feel right at home, ensconced in the constant drama of this loveable cast of returning reprobates and reprehensible villains. [Dec 2011, p60]

    It's more than just the best entry in an outstanding series though - it epitomises the very reason many of us play video games. And that's its greatest achievement.

    Only a few camera troubles stopped us from giving Drake's Deception the highest rating. Uncharted 3 is without doubt the best PS3 exclusive game of this year. [Dec 2011]
