Here it is. My review of one of my most highly anticipated games of the year.. Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception.
First off, if you own a Playstation 3 and have not played a game from the Uncharted series, GET THE DUAL PACK NOW! I’ll wait…
Every Uncharted game has continuously pushed the envelope on both a cinematic, visual and gaming level.
Plenty of returning characters are here in the story as well as some new ones. Along with the plot comes some fantastic scripted gameplay. From a escape from a sinking ship to a journey through the desert, the variety of sequences you go through are so well placed that you won’t want put your controller down. Naughty Dog has been able to capture the edge of the seat feeling that will keep players playing until they beat the game.
There are plenty of puzzles throughout your journey. While none of them are difficult, you will definitely find yourself scratching your head once and a while. But don’t worry, if you are stuck a hint will appear or the characters will ay something to get you thinking in the right direction. The game mixes up the game play from puzzles to hand to hand combat, to gunfire, to platforming.
Uncharted 2 was such a huge change from the first Uncharted. The visuals were groundbreaking and Naughty Dog won numerous awards for their work on the game. It was a hard task to create a sequel to a sequel that was so critically acclaimed. But Uncharted 3 stays true to the formula, and improves on it. While the graphics are not as shockingly good as it was when Uncharted 2 was released, this is still one of the most detailed and beautiful games on the Playstation 3. This game has the “playing a cut scene visuals.
I’ve heard people having issues with aiming and targeting things to climb onto, but these were few and far between for me. And I could easily find a different way to target an enemy.
Multiplayer
Uncharted has a variety of ways to experience multiplayer, broken into variations on Team Deathmatch and objective-based game types. Some map design really helps highlight how much fun and, in some cases more strategic, the mobility of Uncharted can make the multiplayer. Uncharted also includes a campaign mode some more story-driven content and the familiar wave-based survival game type. Adventure mode consists of basically repurposed sections of the single-player campaigns from Uncharted 2 and 3 that you can play through with friends. This is in addition to the Arena game type where you and your co-op partners survive onslaughts of enemies while completing ever-changing objectives.
Uncharted is the reason to own a PS3. The visuals are stunning, voice acting is impeccable, and gameplay is smooth. At times I found myself unsure if I was playing the game or watching a cut scene. And that is a good thing. Uncharted 3 is a definitely a contender for game of the year.
