Good:
- Great voice-overs
- Amazing graphics
- Burning chateau level was pretty cool
- Sinking ship segment was awesome
- Good characters especially Sully
- Some nice transitions between gameplay and cutscenes
- Co-op & MP
Bad:
- Mediocre gunplay
- Melee combat is poor and pales in comparison to Batman.
- Didn't like that they forced melee a bunch of times.
- Also didn't like that the melee counter used the same button as picking up ammo/weapons. Whenever I wanted to counter the big dude's move, Drake would pick up ammo instead. That annoyed me.
- Wonky cover system especially in tight spaces.
- Desert segment was incredibly tedious. They had you walking in the desert for like fifteen minutes. You can't run, jump or do anything other than walk.
- The first "drugged" sequence was also boring. They just had you walking in circles until the guy stopped talking.
- Game finishes the same way Uncharted 2 did. Hell, a similar segment to the ending happened in the chateau level.
- The last fight was terrible.
- Poor pacing, especially in the beginning.
- Cruise ship felt like filler.
- Plot holes in story, and the story wasn't good to begin with.
- Too many scripted events like having you run away or walk. There were like ten chase scenes which was an overkill imo. One or two is fine, but once you have that many, its novelty wears off and becomes old & annoying.
- No single player bonuses.
There's probably more things I didn't like about U3, but that's all I could think of atm.
Score: 5.0/10
