The story of Uncharted 3 is much more personal than the previous titles. Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception is definitely in the discussion for the Game of the Year honors, and it is the best PS3-exclusive game to date. The combat sometimes slows down the otherwise brilliant pacing and the online (while surprisingly addictive) has a few balance issues, but these are all minor quibbles coming from someone paid to make those observations. Yes, there are a few minor technical issues with the game. It won’t change the way you think about games as Uncharted 2 did for many, but that is an issue with expectations, not the game itself.
It is every bit as good as Uncharted 2 - plus the multiplayer is vastly improved. With Uncharted 3, the same level of quality is there. It was shocking how good that game was, partly because the expectations weren’t that high.

Uncharted 2 reinvented the series and became the closest thing to a playable movie ever made.

Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune had one of the best stories on the PS3 to date, but it had a lot of problems with the combat and the pacing. When the dust clears, Uncharted 2 may be a bit better regarded by some, but that is only because it took so many people by surprise. This game just does so many things right. From the first moment when you step into Drake’s shoes in the midst of a shady business deal in a London bar, to one of the most amazing ship levels in video game history, it is hard not to play with a smile on your face. If you are on the fence about whether or not to own a PS3 (and assuming somehow money isn’t an issue, in which case I would love to borrow some), Uncharted 3 is the best reason to pull the trigger - well it and Uncharted 2. It will now stand neck and neck on that list with Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is not only my favorite PS3 game, it has a spot on the list of my favorite games ever. Years from now, when I am old and decrepit, talking about how in my day we used to take “buses” to school, not the fancy jetpacks that all the kids are hot on, I will fondly look back on the Uncharted series as one of the quintessential franchises of this generation of consoles, and some of the best games ever made.
