An amazing experience with a few disappointments
I am torn when it comes to reviewing this game, because like Uncharted: Drake's Fortune and Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, the game is simply incredible. It does so much right, especially in the single player campaign. Epic set-pieces and fast paced combat, mixed with clever puzzles and a compelling story make this a game better than most modern action films. Yet, as great as the game is, it falls short on a few aspects. The production value of the game is incredibly high. The voice acting is spot on and the music always fits the occasion perfectly. A lot of people had problems with the story, but I thought it was fantastic. It is true that a lot of characters enter the story only to exit it again at a certain point, but the reasons behind it make sense. The villains remain mysterious but have enough personality that you have reason to oppose them. There are a lot of plot elements that are left cryptic, but enough information is given so the player can figure out what really happened without the writers beating you over the head with the information. I appreciate this style of storytelling. And since this is an Uncharted game you can expect INCREDIBLE locations, set-pieces, and action sequences. The combat in this game is identical to that in previous games, and the scripted action sequences are just as great as they were in Uncharted 2. If you've seen any commercial of the game you will be familiar with the scene where Drake is on a chain of cargo dangling outside of a moving plane and he must climb back into the plane or else plummet into the desert below him. It is these types of interactive cinematics that make these games so amazing. Yet as awesome and impressive as these moments are, it is a real shame that almost all of the jaw dropping "wow" moments have already been shown to us in commercials and trailers. I purposely avoided as much information as possible before buying and playing through this game (I pretty much only saw everything up until E3 2011, then stopped). Yet the heavily publicized Burning Chateau, Cruise Ship, and Airplane sequences are easily the best, most intense parts of the game. There are plenty of other cool moments for sure, but it's just unfortunate that there were very few big surprises left in the game. The Uncharted games receive a lot of criticism for their puzzles being so basic, but I truly appreciated the integration of the puzzles in this game. The puzzles offer a great respite from the frantic action, and a few had me thinking for a while about what I need to do to solve it. Even the puzzles that do not take much time to solve are well designed, so regardless of how difficult you find them to be, all of them are memorable. I have also heard a lot of people saying this game is too easy, and I respectfully disagree. While I am not a true hardcore gamer, I have played hundreds of titles over the past fifteen years, and this game gave me a lot of challenge. There are plenty of sequences that require you to experiment with different ways of fighting the enemies around you, and I find it hard to believe that so many people claimed to fly through this game even on the normal setting. I honestly think the average person playing this would find the difficulty to be perfect. As for the multiplayer, it is improved over the second game, but not by much. Yes, there is much more customization, but the core gameplay remains the same. If you weren't very fond of Uncharted 2's multiplayer, it's doubtful this will win you over. I find myself playing it mostly because it's there, not really because I feel compelled to advance through the ranks and become an expert in the online community. Overall Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception is an incredible game and a five-star experience. It is exhilarating to play, always entertains, and will paste a huge smile on your face the entire time. However, like I said, it is unfortunate that almost all of the truly incredible moments have already been shown off to the public in great detail. Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, and Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception is bound to be remembered as the greatest trilogy in the history of gaming. ... show more

Brilliant
Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. I'm _not_ a hardcore gamer. I'm almost 50 yo and I have other things I need to do ... but when I want to relax and forget whatever drama my day has delivered I like to fire up the PS3 and get lost in a fantasy. U3:DD is a brilliant distraction. The story is engaging. The action is way way over-the-top fun. And the graphics make you feel like you are right THERE! At first I was a bit disappointed. I have grown to love the "sandbox" style of gaming ... I love me some GTA IV, the GTA IV Liberty City Stories, INfamous, INFamous2 ... I love the ability to wander around and do a mission when you feel like it ... or not. U3:DD doesn't let you wander too far from the main story line but then you probably won't care because the main story line is so interesting. I was a big fan of Myst and Riven "back in the day" because they transported me to another reality, and because I loved the puzzles. How do I get from point A to point B with all these obstacles? U3:DD has places where you have to think your way out of different enviroments. I love that! The gun play is fun. The puzzles are fun. The enviroments are breathtakingly beautiful. There is a gunfight in a ship graveyard during a storm that made me literally laugh out loud after I made it through. There is a long drawn-out escape from the burning ruins of a mansion in the south of France. There is a battle on a sinking cruise ship that seems to go on forever. Just when you think you are safe, something else goes wrong! There is an amazing gunfight on a cargo plane. There is a battle among the ruins of an ancient city in the desert. The final battle in "The Atlantis of the Sands" is _gorgeous_. There is a surreal section where you wander in the desert. There is an extended chase scene through a marketplace somewhere in the middle east. There is a battle where you are on horseback. There is so much variety! The characters seem like real people. Drake and Sully have a real relationship. They say things that real people might say if they were in these outrageous enviroments. The cut-scenes blend so seamlessly with the gameplay that you may find yourself trying to control the characters during one of the movies. I hated getting to the end. I put off the final mission for a few days because I did not want to say goodbye to these characters. PRO: Excellent graphics. Excellent game-play. Excellent soundtrack. Excellent story. Con: I'd love to have had a bit more freedom to wander around some of these amazing enviroments. It didn't last long enough. Buy it. This is a fabulous game and you will not be disappointed. ... show more

Uncharted is Back And as Good as Ever!
Uncharted 3: Drakes Deception lives up to the pedigree of the Uncharted series and delivers a fast-paced, action-packed, third-person shooter that's become the premier franchise on the PS3. For all the Uncharted fans out there, you should already know what to expect - stunning graphics, slick shooting mechanics, an evolving story arc, supported by some of the best voice acting in the gaming business. Naughty Dog hasn't (thankfully) reinvented the wheel with U3; instead choosing to carefully refine the gameplay and graphics that many of us have come to love. Uncharted 3 picks up with familiar faces, Nathan Drake and Victor "Sully" meeting with a shady character named Talbot in a pub in England. Drake and Sully are selling legendary explorer, Sir Francis Drake's ring to Talbot for a sum of cash. Not wanting to spoil any of the story or events that transpire I'll end there. I will say that U3 delves into the history of Nathan and Sully's relationship and gives an excellent back-story of how the two came to be partners. If you're a fan of the game it's really a fascinating aspect of the game and adds to the lore tremendously. The story in U3 doesn't disappoint and you'll soon be exploring far reaches of the world just as in Uncharted and Uncharted 2. I have read many of the negative reactions by fans of the game complaining about the story and although yes there are plot holes and yes there are instances where things could've been done this way or that... it's a game. It's entertainment. The player has the advantage of viewing the series as a whole from an end-user perspective when in fact developers don't. Had Uncharted not garnered positive word-of-mouth recommendations it's very possible that we would never have had U2 or U3. So I always try and give developers a little slack in that they have no way of knowing if they're creating a one-off title or a series of titles. I've read some reviews complaining of the gameplay or more specifically the controls feeling sluggish compared to the original games. At the time of this writing U3 v.1.9 is currently out and the gameplay seems identical to Uncharted 1 & 2. No complaints there so maybe the controls are something that was modified via a patch. Graphically, U3 is as incredible as can be expected from Naughty Dog. The game is absolutely beautiful from the rendering of water to vegetation that sways with the wind and rays of light bursting through the jungle canopy overhead lighting the way ahead. This is as good as it gets on consoles and is a sight to see. As with Uncharted 2, U3 features a fully fleshed online multiplayer component. This time you get the usual competitive modes, and cooperative multiplayer modes but additions like co-op vs. co-op. This is where you and a partner take on another pair of human players in combat. It's a very fun addition to the standard online component. There's also a story-based online multiplayer component that adds to the co-op fun. Definitely recommended! ... show more

An Uncharted game that stumbles a bit
Uncharted 3 is a great game. It's graphics are beautiful, often leaving one to want to look around the environment just to take in the sights of the locale that you are currently in. The gameplay is just as good as it was in Uncharted 2, shooting mechanics, takedowns, running, jumping, and plat forming are all still well oiled machines that make Nathan Drake an exploration master. However, Uncharted 3 suffers from two problems: a weak story and especially in the second half, breaking down into a death march of enemy encounters. The story element of Uncharted 3 is decent, but it has a feeling of never quite making sense as to how the characters get from point A to point B. Uncharted 2 is a picture perfect example of a well narrated and logical story that never left me going, "wait, how did we get here?" Over the numerous locations that Uncharted 3 gets to, I was continually left wondering how our intrepid heroes figured out this was the place to go or what do to. Finally, the second problem that Uncharted 3 has is the breakdown and loss of the exploration and puzzle elements in the second half that turns into a death march of enemy encounters. From the pirate ship location until the end, nearly every single level you explore it simply you having to memorize all the enemy locations in a given encounter, kill them all, run to the next encounter where again you'll be inexplicably attacked by numerous enemies, and then you just rinse and repeat. This becomes particularly obnoxious when you will barely survive an encounter and then get sot from behind by an enemy you swear was just spawned in to kill you. It starts to feel unfair in that you just have to memorize over and over again where the enemy will come from in order to stay alive. Pros -Graphically, this game does not fail to blow your mind -Many, many moments of, "holy snap, that was awesome!" -Some good puzzles to solve and finding the treasures continues to be a blast Cons -Weaker story over all -Second half of the game breaks down into one enemy ambush after another VERDICT: Play this game, but borrow it from a friend or wait until it drops in price. This game still has the Uncharted polish and spectacular moments to it, but it suffers from a weaker story and later mechanics break down. ... show more

What a Blast: An Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception for PS3 Review
I enjoying playing action adventure games on our PS3, but don't really get into the online versions of many games. There are a few exceptions, but as interesting as the Uncharted 3 online experience is it's not among them. However as single player campaign, it's difficult to beat the Uncharted franchise. The Uncharted games follow Nathan Drake through a cinematic treasure hunting adventure. While playing as Nathan, the character transitions between shootouts, climbing challenges, and solving puzzles with the story being completed through the ample use of cut scenes. Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception adheres to this well defined formula while exploring Nathan's adolescence and the beginnings of his relationship with Sully. The back-story, as seen through Nathan's perspective, enriches the current adventure of finding a long lost treasure. Even though there is a clear and obvious formula by now, it's become somewhat of an inside joke to those who have played the previous games including the developers as expressed in character commentary. * Graphics Drake's Deception leads the player to various parts of the world, all of which have been impeccably drawn to the tiniest detail. Whether it's grungy London pub urinals, abandoned buildings, or the movement of desert sand, every scene has amazing detail. Weather and chaotic situations add greater layers of visual appeal detail. Additionally, characters move realistically, except for faces. During game play, facial expressions, hair, and fine details tend to be less noticeable due to smaller sizes. During cut scenes faces have varying degrees of realism. Nathan and Sully both have the most expressive and defined facial detail, where the women seem to have a somewhat plastic appearance. Some of the men are just as plastic like, however it's not as noticeable through extra detailing such as stubble and facial hair. While I did take notice if this during game play, it didn't take away from the game and is an improvement over the preceding games. * Single Player Campaign The epic single player campaign blows away the previous installments. The improvements largely come from the story line and chaotic situations Nathan finds himself in, while the weapons and mechanics of the game have stayed relatively the same over each installment. The biggest mechanical change is seen with greatly improved brawling controls. The square, triangle, and circle buttons all have specific actions associated to them. There aren't any combo button tricks, actions are simply attack, defend, and escape. Victor "Sully" Sullivan, Chloe Frazer, and Elena Fisher are back and interact with Nathan Drake. New supporting characters include Charlie Cutter, Katherine Marlowe, and Talbot. Not much is known about the new characters except Charlie works for Katherine and knows all the familiar characters listed above. Talbot is Katherine's second in command, and Katherine leads the well financed organization attempting to obtain the treasure before Nathan does. My only criticism of the storyline is the final battle. In most action adventure games, including previous Uncharted games, the final battle is one of the biggest challenges of the game. I found the final battle to be too much of a "this occurred so press that button" scripted routine. Based on the story and current game mechanics, I'm not sure what could have been done differently though. * Online Content The online game play offers lots of variety with coop missions between you and a friend, or Team Death match, Plunder, Team Objective, Three Team Death match, Free-for-All, Hardcore 'Co-op Arena, Co-op Hunter Arena, and Co-op Adventure multiplayer online gaming. As one plays online, they earn points for various activities which can be spent on skins, better weapons, kickbacks (improved abilities) and more. Uncharted 3 also offers split screen coop missions which could be played with a friend on the other side of the couch or online. If you are looking for an entertaining action adventure single player campaign game, look no further. Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception single player campaign is packed with chaotic situations resulting in mind blowing action. Uncharted 3 is arguably the best PS3 action adventure game currently available and an excellent game. PROS: Entertaining storyline with over the top situations Numerous online game play options Hours of entertaining game play Includes English, French, Latin American Spanish, and Portuguese language support. CONS: Difference between hard and crushing largely based on lack of indicators ... show more

Uncharted 3, a glimpse into Drakes past...
Greatness from small beginnings is the phrase that starts out this story. Uncharted 3 takes us to a whole new world of treasure hunting like never before. In this game, not only do you play as Drake, but as a young (child version) Drake as well. The story jumps back in time through out the game, where we learn how Drake and Sully met and become friends. A new woman is brought into the picture. This time, she's a former love interest of Sully and not Drake. Rather than starting out the game in the middle of nowhere like Uncharted 2, this time you're in the heart of Europe in a British pub. But just as in past games, you are quickly jumping from location to location throughout the world. Each scene remarkably done and visually stunning. On thing I really like that's different in the Uncharted 2 storyline is this time there's less issues with your team mates turning on you. In Uncharted 2, people on your team were often taking off, and you lost your allies as quickly as they joined you. In Uncharted 3, your team of 4 sticks with you and works together. Your not getting abandoned because you partner ran off with the bad guys, even if they were just pretending to be on their side. The story is just as compelling as it has always been. Uncharted 3 plays out like a blockbuster movie, only you get to control the moves. Climbing, running, fighting and shooting your way through everything you can imagine, Uncharted 3 has managed to even out do their last game. As usual, while playing you also look for treasures throughout the game to collect. You have your journal again to help you solve puzzles as well. Online game play is set up by using a pass code that's included in the games case. Once set up, you have game play options such as: Team Deathmatch Plunder Team Objective Three Team Deathmatch Free-for-All Hardcore Co-op Arena Co-op Hunter Arena Co-op Adventure The online game play benefited quite a bit from the open beta testing. The online matches are smoother and have less issues than there were months ago when they first opened the testing. I played quite a bit during that first month and can definitely see much more fluidity in the online game play movement versus how it was during beta. This is not a game you will want to rush through. There is so much to see, treasure to collect and story behind it all. ... show more

Let's Give A Round of Applause to Naughty Dog
I absolutely had a blast playing Uncharted 2. Everything about it was exceptional. The story, the acting, the puzzles, the combat, the music, the graphics. Everything. Uncharted 3 is no different. I thought that Naughty Dog may have reached the peak of their potential during Uncharted 2, but now I am sure that their peak is yet to come. Uncharted 3 is everything I wanted a game to be. While Lazarevic as the bad guy in Uncharted 2 will probably never be topped (he was the perfect bad guy with his deep voice and everything), many other things that I thought could never be topped were topped in Uncharted 3. The graphics are as realistic and vibrant as ever. Many times I can almost feel the sand hitting my face, but hopefully not the bullets! The physics are really good too. On the few levels with waves I was amazed at how real the water looked. The good ol' Uncharted crew is back and ready for more too. Expect more of those memorable lines that will have you laughing. I'll leave the details of the story for you to find out, but let me just say the search is for the Atlantis of the Sands and I was entertained along the many locations visited, such as Columbia, France, Syria, England, and more. As for the action, well it's better than ever. The hand-to-hand has undergone an upgrade, now enabling Nate to counter enemies and in some cases smash objects into their heads. All those trusty weapons that saved your butt before are back too. And they are just as fun to use. And Uncharted wouldn't be Uncharted if there weren't those super-close-I-can't-believe-Nate-just-did-that moments. Some of which take place in completely new and extremely fun locations like on a ship or on a plane. Just look at the cover of the game to get a hint of what happens to the plane (and it was fun to do, maybe the most fun part of the game)! Another thing Uncharted excels at is puzzles. They are back as well. And of course, Nate's little handy clue book is back to. The puzzles are not too hard and are always fun to crack. Some of them are very interesting. Oh a little side note here: you might want to think twice about getting this if you really hate spiders. That's all I'm going to say about that. And of course the music is great too. Heart pumping at times and pretty to listen to at others. Overall I give Uncharted 3 a 5/5. I was very pleased with this game. It even surpassed my expectations which were pretty high after playing the second installment. I would recommend this to any action and adventure loving gamer who is ready to beat the bad guy (and lady) and figure out the mystery. Great job Naughty Dog. ... show more

Involving and well-paced but over too fast
Straight up, I didn't play this game. Shooters and gore-fests have never been my cup of tea because I don't need the adrenaline rush nor sense of domination to enjoy a game. However, I watched my teen play through Uncharted 3 over the past week and enjoyed every minute of it. please don't ask how he felt about his mom shouting at him to take down the grenade launchers first...let's all take it for granted that he accepted the "advice" as part of the package for the more flexible game time on school nights) Admittedly, I only saw a fraction of the first two Uncharteds but U3 is sharp and witty. It's a roller coaster ride of a game. Is it linear? Yes, a bit. Some paths have only a single solution, but the way to find it doesn't feel like a requirement. You can explore areas and puzzles at a pace you choose. Same with the fights. Generally, there is no requirement to shoot enemies in a certain order. The meld of sneaking, melee, and ranged is well balanced. The voice acting was terrific. The characters were individual and their interactions felt believable. Since most everyone had to have a chunk of the spotlight, the depth of the character development relied on past experiences more than new information. As I mentioned in the title, I wish it was longer. Will have to see if the online component is worthwhile but I might have to bribe my son to play as "donut Drake" Some reviews complained about the AI. But when I watched an enemy round a corner than "disappear" to stalk Drake unexpectedly from a different direction, it was golden. Yes, sometimes Sully or Chloe were in the way, stealing the choice spot for cover but that was reasonable. I'm sure it happens when your coop partner is human-controlled so it shouldn't be a mark against the AI. And the complaints about the shaky aiming are valid, but if you just dropped down from a ten foot wall after throwing back four grenades, who would have steady hands? Yes, except for headshots some enemies required many bullets to take them down but why should Drake be the only one who can take a barrage and still be standing. The AI is probably thinking "but I shot him 15 times and he's still chasing me on that damned horse" Nathan Drake is that perfect combination between Indiana Jones and Malcolm Reynolds. When the video game tells you his story, stop nitpicking the details. Like a close friend and their fish story, ENJOY. ... show more
