The story is what the Uncharted series in general would be if it were taken down to its most basic form, with each chapter featuring the latest piece in a much larger puzzle, sans an overarching antagonist. There's also a minor romantic conclusion between Nate and Elena which feels somewhat tacked-on, given that they aren't the main focus of the story.īeyond the usual single player story mode, Uncharted 3 also features a more developed story in co-op, with multiple linking chapters instead of stand-alone missions. The final boss battle with the main antagonist wasn't the heart pumping finale I'd been hoping for, and this is probably at least partly due to the gameplay mechanics of the final moments. Some parts don't work quite as well - namely the main antagonist and the romantic conclusions towards the end. These are your stereotypical guy friends, so there's a whole lot of joking around and goading, with only a few serious moments between them, but that's probably better for the Uncharted series since hitherto it's strayed into romantic comedy territory sometimes. Seeing how these two started out is interesting, and it's good to see a less romantic focus.
This time the character focus is squarely on Sully and Nate. It's time for the return of everyone's favorite half-tucking smart mouth: Nathan Drake. Uncharted 3 is attempting to continue this upward trend in quality, but can it have the impact that the second did? Part of what made Uncharted 2 such a critical darling was the obvious improvement over the first Uncharted, with - arguably - the best graphics at the time, a refined sense of cinematic gaming and cooperative and competitive multiplayer for added value. After sweeping the game of the year awards in 2009, it's no surprise that expectation and hype for the latest entry in the Uncharted series is at a fever pitch.
