    As a recent convert to the PS4 I have only just completed the Unchartered collection and UC3 was certainly the most disappointing game in the series.

The whole thing just feels tired, as if they took all the segments that didn't make the cut for UC2 and mashed them together. The epic set pieces that made UC2 one of the best games I have ever played are gone, the story is just ok. But the worst part of all, which basically ruined the game for me occurs in the very frequent "shoot out" sections.

    Firstly you are not allowed to be patient... if you stay in cover for more than 2 seconds a grenade will magically land a yard from your feet (Despite being thrown from the other side of an area they manage to magically stop dead).

    The soldier AI/movement is next. This system is completely broken - they aimlessly run to there assigned cover points in an area often taking position directly to your side or running directly past you to get to there programmed point. Many areas I just resorted to running around and melee killing all the soldiers as they randomly ran around.

    And finally I think it is poor/lazy that successful bullet hits on an enemy rarely cause any reaction other than the decisive hit.

    For a game with so much gunplay these area's should be improved on in UC4.    … Expand

    After the greatness of UC2, UC3 is a huge let down. The AI is a huge step down, they run at you blindly then take cover next to you while still being in line of sight like they want to commit suicide (tlou has this problem too), the shooting mechanics suck with hits not registering until an enemy has reached it's cinematic entrance, or shooting through gaps in a backless bookcase don'tAfter the greatness of UC2, UC3 is a huge let down.

The story is mundane and a let down compared to the first two, there's far too many long boring stretches on running/walking or not doing much. Just a big let down after the first two games.… Expand

Uncharted 3 was given high reviews when it out back in 2011 but I feel the game is now above average by modern standards. The graphics are improved and this can be seen in more detailed environments and characters. The characters still look cartoony and not at level with what we expect games to look now. There are occasional spots where low quality textures can be seen. The lighting and water effects though have aged remarkably well. Uncharted 3 suffers from many of the story problems of the previous games by telling a simplistic story but features still the same amazing characters. Nathan Drake, Victor Sullivan, Elena Fisher, all return and are more well acted and performed. The game tries to go in depth about Nathan Drake’s background but fails to dig deep enough. The main villains are bland and come to a weak closure. Uncharted 3 does not do very much to change the series formula in terms of gameplay but has made tweaks and improvements in a few areas. The melee combat which was there in others games but was often not very useful is fully utilized and expanded here to make for some great fights. The shooting controls are improved and handle much better. Platforming another staple of the series returns here and is better than ever and much smoother and easier to control. The gameplay does make regressions though such as more difficult puzzles that were more frustrating than fun and increased difficulty spike that led to unfair deaths. Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception is an overall fun game that suffers from technical problems and a lack of innovation.

    And even so it is a great technical improvement over the second game, I simply hate how Naughty Dog tries too push too hard on somethings that they clearly couldn't finish in time and ends up delivering half-assed mechanics to their games. Like the whole section of the starting from when Drake gets a horse up until the end. The horses movements were awful. And as you get closer to the end various bugs begin to pop up. Besides, the whole water hallucination chapter was laughable.    … Expand

    There are 2 passages that are super long and all you have to do is push left stick forward. Boring.
    Don't get me wrong, the game's still good and fun to play. But in my opinion it's too slow paced and the antagonists and enemies are the least interesting in the whole franchise. U3 is the weakest title of the series (for me), no doubt.    … Expand

    I hated playing this game. The game was too Repetitive and bad maps. Escaping the boat was the worst part because it was dragged across 3-4 chapters and everything was predictable. I’ve recently played the first 2, so this one is a big let down. Hopefully the 4th installment is nothing like my experience with this one

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.

    I have played all 3 installments of the series and UC2 is by far the best.

    UC3 dissapointed me in many ways: Too many cutscenes, puzzles gives you hints after a couple of minutes making them easy to solve, animation is bad and controls are not responsive.

    Is more like watching a movie rather than playing a game.

    On the plus side are the graphics and the story.

Often times, I will try to cover behind something or try to jump over an object, and often times, what happens in reality is not what I intended at all. Multiplayer:
    The coop is even worse. I have come across many many bugs during coop multiplayer, from suddenly having no weapon in my hand, to having enemies become invincible and wipe our group, to my character getting stuck and not being able to do anything but leave the game. My friends I've played with have also gotten bugs where their characters would be locked running in 1 direction unable to stop. WTF is up with that? These are some of the same bugs reported in the Beta. I guess they were never fixed, which makes the game feel really rushed. Single Player
    I am almost done with the single player. The only set piece parts I have liked were only some of the stealth parts, and the chase parts (where u have to run to/from someone or something). Some of the gunfights are ridiculously hard, and I'm playing on normal. The meleeing seems wonky, and some of the fight animations should give you at least some invinciblilty vs bullets. I have died many times from getting sniped by being pushed out of cover while meleeing. The hints (which you can toggle on and off) are helpful but only when they are available. The progression through each level could be highlighted a bit better, there were sometimes where I did not know where to go next and was stuck for a while just jumping around looking for a ledge or something to get me to the next part.
    Summary
    The dialogue is more or less well done, the story could be better, the gameplay is unrefined, and the multiplayer (at least coop) is buggy. If they can fix these bugs (which they probably will), then I would kind of recommend this game, otherwise at this time, my feelings are mixed for this game.    … Expand

    If you're staggered by an explosion, enemies can shoot you, even if your character is clearly in cover. The melee combat is flawed, with no real way to exit combat, or cancel into other moves like the previous 2 games. There are times where the game feels like it's just throwing enemies at you for the sake of making it more difficult, only to have it be incredibly annoying.

    Every Uncharted game has a few impressive levels, or setpieces. In '2', there was the jungle train level and the temple levels. In '3', there's a spectacular plane scene, a ship that is utilized creatively and almost worth playing the game just to see, and a final setting that looks like a next-gen animated painting.

    But it's still molded into a linear route where the player never takes the game's decisions and the intensity is kept moderate.

    I think the online cooperative mode is more entertaining, since you know the other person relies on your performance and it can get pretty hectic. The competitive multiplayer modes are dominated by very experienced players, but nonetheless they can deliver hours of gameplay, with a dozen maps and a lot of multiplayer trophies to work towards.

    (The online game requires a code, so those who buy secondhand would have to buy a code in order to play online, and online feels like the second half of the game.)    … Expand

Then there are the times when you have to run for it, with the camera facing you and the dumb AI, not to mention the very end, where 1 simple shot finishes the game (at least the finish of the last game was pretty taxing as I recall).

The weapons almost don't matter as the good once don't even last and are usually forced on you. The combat is far from anything interesting as it tells you which button to press and it's repetitive and slow. The enemy AI is abysmal and the "action-sequences" are boring (except one or two short ones).

    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]
