Uncharted 3 for me though, fails to accomplish what it's predecessors excelled at: exploring the game feels shallow somehow, maybe because of the bad transitions between shootouts and exploring. The graphics are way better than the previous games, but that comes with a weird decision to make enemies not flinch when shot, which is vastly disappointing; it steals from the realism aspect and makes the shooting far less enjoyable than before. Besides all that, it's a fun game and one that you will enjoy yourself playing start to finish. It's more cinematic than Uncharted 1 and 2 for sure, something I sometimes found frustrating but sometimes very interesting, though the story in my opinion is inferior to any other Uncharted game especially when it comes to it's conclusion. For me, this is the black sheep of the Uncharted series but not to say it's a bad game at all. What you love about Uncharted is here - just some drawbacks this time. Recommended, especially for people who enjoyed any other Uncharted game.… Expand

    Pretty good game - nice voiceover in polish version of the game for that bad woman. Nice dessert level. Satisfying shooting

    You can expect the same type of cinematic experience from UC2, in UC3.

    - Gameplay -
    The platforming and movement controls are all as fluent as they were in Uncharted 2. The devs improved on the fist to fist combat system, giving you more options after a parry, and more ways to use the environment for a finishing blow.

    - Narrative -
    The story and characters are top notch as expected from Uncharted. You see old faces return and a few new ones, and the same kind of humor and intrigue within the dialogues. This entry also sheds some light on Drake's and Sully's past, which is awesome if you've followed the protagonists journey since Uncharted 1.

    - Visual & Sound -
    As you would expect from a Uncharted game, you'll be taken to various locations. Most notably, there's an awesome desert sequence, where the game tries to simulate the dread and hopelessness of being stranded in the middle of a desert. I thought this part was pretty cool. There are also a number of sequences where Drake is in a trance state. The visual effects used in these sequences were interesting. And of course, you can expect epic tracks during intense action sequences.- -

    - Replay value -
    UC3 features multiplayer battles and co-op. I personally never tried it, but it think it'd definitely give you a reason to go back and play after the single player campaign. There are also a bunch of awesome "making of" art and videos you can unlock, which are all interesting.

    Thanks for reading.    … Expand

    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´s 2021, found an old working PS3 and I am revisiting the top PS3 games recommended by Metacritic. So far, the games with scores around 9 are fantastic, however Uncharted 3 seems the exception to me.

    Kind of reminds me to those laserdisc games of the mid 80s, where you had to find the correct sequence, or a "death scene" was played.

    The platform engine is as well limited and bold. The AI of the enemies? come on! Doom 1 was far more elaborate.

    Seriously this was an incredible and nearly perfect, flawless blah blah game of the year? come on!    … Expand

    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.

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.

    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 .

    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.

    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]
