Uncharted 3 Review!

Right! Uncharted 3! Where to begin!?...Ok then: The previous 2 Uncharted games were well made, entertaining, had beautiful landscapes, great gameplay, characters & story. This entry is no different, once again you take on the role as the "Nathan Drake", the laid-back treasure hunter that does it mainly for the sake of the adventure, with his old buddy "Sully". You move along from one extremely breathtaking situation to the next, as well as amazing locations. The characters are really solid, and has a good story. The gameplay is as you would expect, action-filled, fun etc. This is polished from start to finish.

However, in a way the developer's attempts to make the game so polished can detract from it a little at times. Some of the sequences (as breath-taking as they are), can feel a bit too automatic - as in - you basically follow a very strict, pre-determined path. This is fine on 1st playthrough (novelty value), but on a second playthrough it loses that element of surprise & those sections become bascially auto-scrollers. But this is only a very minor nit-pick, to what is - otherwise - a truly amazing experience.

In summary, even tho my favourite entry in the Uncharted series is the 1st one. This is well worth a purchase, had some of the auto-scolling sections been a bit more flexible, this game would have topped the 1st one. This is a highly polished entry, you'll sometimes just stop to explore the amazing details of the locations. Just to admire the artistry & creativity of the people that created this world.

How many stars do I give Uncarted 3? I give it 4.5 out of 5 stars!
