    Just finished Uncharted 2 and all I can think Is; "Why haven't I played these before?". On to the review!
    It's a really nice series, and I cannot wait to start the third one. I score this a solid 9, the reason why It wont get a 10, well, for me playing this so late, I can see a couple of flaws in the mechanics, nothing that makes the game less likeable to be played over and over though.

    This remaster of the first 3 Uncharted Games is Amazing. I have never played the original on PS3 but always wanted to. Now with this Collection pack i was amazed at how great these games were. If you haven't played any of the first 3 games yet on PS3, make sure to pick this game up. I give this game a 10/10

    Yes, late to the party.

    Just wanted to say these games are just too much overrated. Never played them before The Collection and can understand why they were such hits some years ago, but they just don't hold up to today's standards. If you're an avid gamer, you've probably by now played far better games that do about the same things but, well, better. In general, they're extremely    Yes, late to the party.

    In general, they're extremely repetitive - kept expecting a change of pace in Drake's Fortune that never came about, only to realise the whole trilogy would follow the thread.

    Story is mere excuse for the underwhelmingly basic gameplay: cover - shoot - cover - climb - repeat (and some scripted sequences here and there). As plain background, the plot is anything you would watch in a generic treasure-hunt movie from the 00's. Saving graces would be the nicely acted cutscenes and some of the dialogue, but even that with characters which in my opinion are annoying and unlikable (yes, talking about a PlayStation icon).

    Most people praise Among Thieves as the best of the bunch, but it's the one that almost made me give up on the whole thing. Inexcusably long (each twentieth-something chapter that started made me sigh "seriously??"). Actually enjoyed Drake's Deception more for added variety in set pieces and presentation, and also some more investment in the storytelling department.

    This is the kind of criticism I think these games deserve, in spite of the universal acclaim traditional to the franchise. Recommended only to check some boxes on the backlog - that is, if you haven't played them before and actually plan to.    … Expand

    One of the reasons i finally broke down and bought a playstation was to see all the fuss about Uncharted. Yeah for once the fuss was true. Nathan Drake and his band o merry cohorts make this one of the greatest collections of games ever assembled. The remasters PS4 versions are glorious and worth the buy. Top notch story telling, action gaming and incredible visuals add up to a masterpiece.

    Three excellent games together and remastered. For anyone who not has ever had a playstation 3 is perfect. I would venture to say that they are 3 of the best games of the last years. Mandatory to play before Uncharted 4. I can say that it is the beginning and the middle of the best series of action / adventure video games to date.

    Heard so much about Unchartered and it is a good game. Perhaps, I should have played it at the time of their release. Still enjoyable but controls are a bit clanky 8/10.

    Out of all the remastered collections, the Uncharted collection would seem like a pointless purchase, if you've already played them all. Yet all of Nate's adventures are worth more than one revisit, which makes this a great title to own. The updated visuals give the titles a clean look to go with newer TVs, is only an added bonus to the already great package you're getting.

    If you're new to Uncharted or you want to show off a great game to someone who'd rather watch than play the game, this is it. Uncharted is the Indiana Jones of video games and never comes off as being too similar with the latter. These three games are a MUST PLAY, without question.    … Expand

    Gameplay is not that good but nothing actually offensive. Every time I felt the game was being stupid with difficulty spikes, its always been my own fault for not noticing something. Remaster is pretty good and writing is top notch.

    Graphics sucks for PS4 but is good enough, and it does run 60.

    The perfect collection or exactly what you want from a remaster. The last time I saw a collection this great was the Orange Box back in 2007. That collection had Half-Life 2, Portal, and Team Fortress 2. This collection has Uncharted 1, Uncharted 2, and Uncharted 3. All three are fantastic games and truth be told, as a former Xbox 360 owner, I had no idea how good these games are.

All three are fantastic games and truth be told, as a former Xbox 360 owner, I had no idea how good these games are.

    The first game looks dated. The gameplay holds up but despite the gloss of a remaster, the backgrounds and textures scream last gen. The second game looks great, like a those games released in 2013 and 2014 that were on both PS4 and PS3. The third game looks fantastic. You can see how Naughty Dog was pushing the power of the PS3, and the remaster holds up well against current releases. Good design lasts.

    Game play, as I mentioned, holds up well. Like most games released after Halo, Drake has regenerative health is limited to two weapons. He can also stick to cover which works well because this is a third person game. Unlike most shooters, Drake can dodge roll, climb, and jump to grab ledges. If you played the Tomb Raider reboot on the Xbox 360, then you know how this plays, because the Tomb Raider reboot is a straight rip-off of Uncharted only with terrible dialogue. The shooting can be challenging and each game ramps up the difficulty. I was playing on easy to breeze through the story and there were a few checkpoints I had trouble passing. The fights can get mean in a good way.

    The real gem of the Uncharted games are the story and dialogue. Drake complains about all the things other video game heroes ignore such as getting wet, enemies constantly setting up ambushes, and falling terrain. He's funny. His A.I. companions are funny too and sometimes they manage to kill enemies. The set pieces are also gorgeous and unforgettable. Uncharted 2 perhaps has the best sequences, the train and the car chase. I recommend playing the games in order, as Naughty Dog ramps up everything with each game, and Uncharted 1 has some great sequences you should enjoy in context.

    Finally, while the value of a game does not affect the score I give it, the Uncharted Collection is an incredible value. I picked it for $8 during a PSN sale but it usually retails for around $20. This is a no-brainer purchase.    … Expand

    The stories are quite good, nothing spectacular but serviceable with well-written characters.
    The first uncharted had the weaker story, it felt the most generic with REALLY boring villains but the main characters were so likable that it kept me playing but the story in this game isn't really good.
    The second uncharted game had a much better story, it doesn't tell the story in order making it intriguing, the characters were more interesting and this game had a much better villain.
    And finally, the third uncharted game had a good story but it wasn't better than the second one, the characters didn't really develop and the villains would have been interesting if it wasn't for an antclimatic final boss and conclusion, it was better than the first game but it did left me a bit dissapointed.

    The three games have the exact same gameplay but it does improve a little bit, the shooting mechanic is incredible in the second and third game (the first one had problems) and the cinematic moments make you feel like you are playing a movie and a very exiting one at that.

    I really recommend this collection, having three great games in one package is really satisfying and the games thermselfs are entertaining and fun, buy it now.

While the first game is the weaker of the trilogy, the other 2 are really great, especially Uncharted 2 (though I prefer Uncharted 3 for its expanded melee system and more mature story). These games are self-contained stories, there is no lore you have to keep up with, there is no grand mystery building up to the final game, so you can freely choose any of them to play and you won't have missed a thing.

    Gameplay focuses on cover-based shooting, platforming, fist fights, treasure hunting along with many chases and over-the-top set-pieces that will absolutely WOW you. Music production is great, but the voice actors steal the show. This series launched Nathan Drake's voice actor Nolan North into stardom. Graphics are very pleasing to the eye, being a mix of realism and a bit of cartoon style. These games run at locked 60 fps and display at 1080p on PS4, with all of the assets having been re-worked by remaster specialists Bluepoint Studio. Graphics have become synonymous with Uncharted but then again, the whole group of characters along with protagonist Nathan Drake are what makes the series stand out.

    The only complaint I have from the Nathan Drake Collection is the removal of the online modes of Uncharted 2 and 3. These were great fun on PS3 and it's a disappointment they weren't included in the disc due to space constraints (or Sony want to shut Uncharted 2/3 servers down at some point). One Uncharted 2 map has been remastered and included for free in Uncharted 4's online mode as fan service. That's better than nothing, but still the missing online modes should be rescued one way or another.

    I strongly recommend this collection to any gamer who likes story-based action adventure games with high production values and strong characters.    … Expand

It comes at a 60 FPS with updated visuals that make the adventures great to partake in and enjoy. The first game is the weakest of the three and the second and third will get huge bumps in quality as you go in order.

    The biggest issues however lie in the multiplayer, which I argue is rather lame and a attempt to be like Gears of War for Playstation players. It just doesn't feel like it belongs in the games and is off putting for their place. Uncharted 1 goes through the same problems the original version had with numerous enemies and no variation that really strained its overall performance and some moments in the games can be tedious or boring (such as Nathan climbing a large thing for a few minutes). This does not mean the game collection overall is bad, but the critically acclaim the games receive are close, but not close enough for me to agree. It is definitely worth the buy though and should give you between 25-35 hours of story altogether.    … Expand

    Let me give a little context. My first experience with Naughty Dog was with Crash Bandicoot which was AWESOME of course. My second was with The Last Of Us which is now one of my favorite games of all time.

    I just finished Uncharted 1-3 and I'm surprised to have a love-hate relationship with them. The things they do well, they do SO well. The large action set-pieces, the details everywhere, the grand scale of the adventures you go on, and even the voice acting and excellent facial animations. Sometimes the acting is a little hokey, but i think that is intentional.

    Then there were things that bothered me equally as much. The joke of a cover system and all the frustrating deaths they caused may have been the biggest. I believe they nailed the cover system with TLOU, and hope they never go back. The cheap setups for deaths was also incredibly frustrating. it's not good writing, or gaming for that matter, to walk out onto a bridge and be one-shot-killed by an RPG. There's numerous spots where you just have to know what's going to happen or do something very specifically, or you die. There were also small things too like fluctuating enemy health, grenade throwback not working, etc.

    Overall, I believe I have a much more unbiased view than many people here. I'm not looking back on these games with rose colored glasses. There are issues with them, and they are NOT perfect games by any means. Ignore the 10/10 reviews .. but equally, ignore the 1/10 reviews as well! Both are very wrong. These games fall somewhere in the middle... however, the love that Naughty Dog puts into their games is VERY evident. These are REALLY good games that are GREAT at times. The opening of Uncharted 2 & 3 are, in my opinion, perfect. It's just too bad the quality seems to falter in certain areas that REALLY hurt the overall score.

A lot of the relationships are simply told to the player, having taken place between games, rather than organically evolving on screen for the player to experience.
