No. Just no. Uncharted 2 is one of the best games in this generation. Tomb Raider is a great action-adventure, as good as the Arkham, Assassin's Creed games, but nothing groundbreaking. Uncharted 2 was like a big WOW from the beginning to the end. The pacing, the set-pieces, the epic story, the humour, the gameplay, the music (ohh that music) everything was A+.

In my opinion:
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune 8/10 - Great game, really great ending, cool, a bit horrorish story by the end. Very good gameplay, but the stealth and melee parts were meh.

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves 10/10 - Everything improved! One has to be a nitpicking bastard to find mistakes in that game, and I get it, the Istanbul museum mission was a bit too long and the Guardians were tough as hell. But it's the most epic story ever made, with the best ending scene of all time. I couldn't stop watching that scene alone, so beautiful.

Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception 9/10 - Great beginning, the first few chapters are epic as ever, but from the ship mission it's all about set-pieces and the same formula as UC2. I mean, Drake goes in the snow, Drake goes in the desert. Drake finds a tibetian guy, who helps him. Drake finds an arabian guy, who helps him. Drake is fighting with a caravan on the road. Drake is fighting with a caravan on the road. Drake finds Shambala. Drake finds Ubar. Whole city collapse. I mean I would have preffered a bit more variety. Besides that, the ship mission was just out of place. It's like, all the ingredients were there, but this one have not been so great. But that's mostly the story.

Uncharted: Golden Abyss 7/10 - It's smaller, no Elena, no Sully until the last third, and Marisa and Dante are stereotypes. The City (I don't remember its name) doesn't look great, the ending is almost the same as Drake's Fortune, without the zombies, including the last scene. And the whole thing takes place in the same jungle, in the same place. Just like UC1. More creativity please.

I would instantly buy an Uncharted for the PS4 and for the Vita, but please, be original, and think about the story a bit before make some levels. If Drake hasn't been on the Moon yet, it doesn't mean that he necessarily has to.
