Let's keep it to no spoilers. Just want to get my 2 cents about the game because I thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

I held off buying Uncharted 3 for the purpose of waiting for the price to go down. That's actually what I do with every PS3 game (aside from humongous things that I can't hold off). Anyway, I've been waiting and waiting but my wife decided to buy the thing as a surprise anyway (best person ever). Every time I played it, she sat beside me to help me with the puzzles. She's very much into the National Treasure/Indiana Jones type of movies so she was very interested at how the game played out (funny, just like the Kevin Butler ad).

Positives:

+I can't say enough how good the game looks. It just looks amazing, and it rivals the top PC games out there.
+The dialogue and the story overall are very well made. I like the characters a lot. My wife finds the whole thing to be very amusing and at the same time mysterious.
+OMG the action. There are sequences in the game that just make me sweat and start yelling.

Negatives:

-Sometimes it's hard to see where to go next. The color scheme in dark places is rather too dark sometimes and I can't see anything. Other times, the view is too cluttered with inane objects.
-The AI is kinda stupid. They seem to follow a very basic path of action and there's a lack of variety in their actions. Why would a guy just run up to me while I'm shooting him?
-The plot gets a little too assuming at times. The characters seem to just "know" something out of the blue and it's hard to know where they got the information.
-Combat system is getting old. It feels really archaic already and needs to be updated.

 

Overall, 9/10. I'd say Uncharted 2 was a better game because it had some nice innovations in it. Since this is newer, the gameplay issues need to be addressed but the overall atmosphere still makes it an amazing experience.
