The "Uncharted" franchise has produced some of the smoothest playing third-person shooter/adventure games out there. Its tight control scheme and fast-paced gameplay allows you to become the slickest and most agile fortune hunter - a ninja-like Indiana Jones! Uncharted 3 has been fascinating in every feature I have tried so far, and from just a few hours of gameplay, I can already tell that you'll be getting your money's worth from playing this game.
Features:
Single Player:
To keep this spoiler free, I'll leave out the other details of single player for now and just get to the technical aspects of this game that makes it so damn fun. First off, the hand-to-hand combat in single player shines out all the way through. While it's certainly not a vast improvement over Uncharted 2's melee combat, the game has definitely built-in some added features on top of the already fast-paced combat system of its predecessors. [Square = Strike, Triangle = Counter, Circle = Grab (yup - Drake can now do throws!)] Meanwhile, its other smooth aspects are still intact - The cover system still allows you to flow from cover to cover, while the slick aiming system [hold L1/L2 to aim] allows you to pop out of cover/peak around corners/pull up from a ledge grab to land some precision shots. When you're not kicking ass, there are linear platforming segments (which is understandable because this game is meant to be played slick like a parkour game even as you 'unchart' the various levels of single player mode) and puzzle solving portions (remember, even if you move like a ninja - you're still a treasure hunter in this game). There are also a whole bunch of awesome quick-time events (i.e. press the correct button/s to progress) that unfold in Uncharted 3's single player mode to keep the game thrilling all throughout the single player campaign.
Multiplayer:
Multiplayer allows you and all your agile pals to play cooperatively (against waves of AI opponents) or competitively (against other agile treasure hunters). This mode allows you to jump roof-to-roof and ledge-to-ledge while shooting enemies with your team mates. Uncharted 3's multiplayer aesthetics have recieved a giant boost, along with its customization options and game modes. The game's level of customization has been improved - allowing you to create your very own custom hero/villain. Matchmaking even features a highlight reel that automatically shows off the best plays of the week/month as you wait to join a game..! These clips show you the possibilities open to you when playing multiplayer mode - perhaps even helping you learn a trick or two in playing competitively. I can still feel Uncharted 2's multiplayer engine in Uncharted 3, but with the addition of a sprint ability, new guns, and new perks. Best of all, among its new features is giving players the chance to play the game on split-screen cooperatively..! Big ups to Naughty Dog for this sick new feature.
Overall:
I would easily recommend this game to anyone who owns a Playstation 3. It's definitely worth it, and you won't regret your purchase. I think it's safe to say that any third-person shooter fan would dig this game.
BUY IT!!!
