6/10
Pros:
- + Good graphics, but quite inconsistent, textures look low-res too often, has a lot of jaggies compared to UC2 and the light rays can sometimes have a weird effect that looks rather nasty.
- +The set-pieces are quite good, especially the plane part, but they're nothing mind-blowing
- +Great voice acting.
- +Varied locations.
Now I'm starting to run out of nice things to say...
Cons:
- - Pacing wasn't smooth and sometimes I'd get so bored I'd just turn it off.
- - The game did a very poor job at explaining Drake and Elena's situation.
- - The multi-player was cater-strophic imo, I enjoyed UC2's multi-player more, maybe it's just me.
- - Was there even a story? Whilst acting and storytelling is good the actual story itself like all Uncharted games is merely find a magical object before the evil antagonist does. No depth whatsoever.
- - Gun-play has taken a huge step back from UC2, just didn't feel as smooth and enjoyable as UC2 did.
- - The game is overly-animated. Like whenever you go near a wall Drake tries to touch it. And when in gun fights where you're trying to rush into cover but because the animations make the gameplay so slow a simple thing like climbing a ledge and getting into cover will often cause you to die. Irritating.
- - Lacking in enemy variety.
- - Catherine Marlowe pales in comparison to Lazaravic.
- - A very forgettable musical score.
Please note: I've finished the single-player, played the multi-player for 30 mins and the above is MY opinion, I do not wish to discuss it.
