Game Review - Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception
Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception
Released by Sony Entertainment
Platform: PS3
It's been a strong end to the year on the gaming front, with the likes of
Batman Arkham City redefining the third person adventure genre.
And now, into the fray comes Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception.
The latest from Naughty Dog is simply a cinematic wonder and a game to
engross yourself in.
There's plenty of storyline here and to be honest, to reveal too much of it
would really take some of the surprises away from you. It begins with Nathan
Drake being caught in a bar brawl in England and it doesn't let up from there,
taking in planes, deserts, and many more worldwide locations.
Throw in flashbacks and other bits and bobs, and there's plenty to absorb
yourself in here.
But the thing is with Uncharted 3 is just how good it looks; every cut
scene's been lovingly put together, with plenty of detail and plot worthy of a
good cinema script. Add in some amazingly good graphic work and you can begin to
see why this is such a visually impressive experience.
Gameplay wise, it's just as good - granted, there are a few frustrations as
some missions give way to trying to work out exactly what you're doing, making
it just that bit trickier to ascertain what's expected of you. But the challenge
is certainly an enduring one and one which raises the bar for the Uncharted
franchise. Regardless of whether you play a one person game or take the
multiplayer option, there's certainly a lot to keep you entertained and
challenged for hours.
I can't wait to see what they do next with this blend of Indiana Jones and
console gaming - it's one hell of an experience, one hell of a game and one hell
of a contender for game of the year.
Rating: 9/10
