Uncharted takes the cake in every aspect for me, I still feel it's an over-rated series and Uncharted 3 was a bit of a let down, but I still feel it's a lot better than Gears. I never really liked Gears that much, I can't see what's so special about it, I'm still going to get Gears 1 and 3 to see if I can get into it though.

EDIT: Should have paid more attention to the thread title. I've only played Uncharted 3, but I feel that it went downhill from Uncharted 2. If Gears 3 is significantly better than Gears 2 then they could be pretty closely matched.


Quite a few people in this thread seemed to have only played UC3 and not Gears 3 yet or ever, so that's all good.  You recognized it.

Gears 1 is weird to go back and play after playing 2, and Gears 3 is so fluid and every shot hits what you're aiming at perfectly... much more refined game than 2.  The dedicated servers work wonders, and between Beast mode and the new Horde mode, plus Arcade and all the different multiplayer types... endless amounts of things to do compared with the first two games in the series.

I have yet to try to Uncharted games, as I don't know anyone with a PS3 who has them, but from what I hear people like 2 better even if 3 looks better.  But I don't think I've run into anyone who likes the previous gears better than 3.  They may not like the new guns because noobs run around with them and get kills, but other than that, it's much better in every possible way. 

The only thing I miss about Gears 2 was the shotgun battles and the one on one macho fights you could have.  All that is gone in Gears 3 as the fights last 3 seconds before someone is dead.  You seem to move about 50% faster in gears 3, which makes for far faster-paced gameplay, but harder to stay alive.  When I stopped playing Gears 2, I was playing at a 2.3 K/D or around that, but in gears 3, I'm at a 1.4 about.  I think it's better for people who either sucked at Gears 2 multiplayer or never played gears before at all, because everyone has a chance to get a kill with a sawed off shotgun now.  Worse for people like me who were really good at not dying, but it is more fun to play.


From what I've seen of Gears 1, it looked better than Gears 2, plus I want to get to grips with the story and the characters because Gears 2 didn't have much of a story or any substance whatsoever. Gears 3 looks even better with more varied environments and a heavier focus on the story (from the trailers anyway).

As for Uncharted 3, the way I put it is that the game has its highs and its lows. The lows in Uncharted 3 are lower than Uncharted 2 but the highs in Uncharted 3 are higher than Uncharted 2, overall I think Uncharted 2 is just as good as Uncharted 3.
