Its been a while since i played both but i remember enjoying 2 far more than 3, 3 was a great game as well but at the time i first played 2 i was blown away by it. I enjoy 2 and 3 far more than 1.



I also think that 3 is better than 2 especially that plane scene crash, that was really awesome.

What the fuck is going on here, UC2 is just pretty much objectively better.

UC2 had better gameplay, felt a lot more responsive and UC3 tends to limit control to make it look more cinematic but it just feels off.

UC2 was more polished, and had nicer artwork. UC3 is obviously a good looking game but just wasn't artistically creative and often looked bland.

UC2 had better story and characters, by miles. Like someone else said, I can't even remember the name of the Helen Mirren's lookalike... The story was awful and you could tell they created set-pieces first and tried to wrap a story around those moments which made the game feel unfocused, shallow and contrived.

UC2 had much better multiplayer. They overcomplicated the simple and fun foundation UC2 set. Boosters, perks and all that rubbish is crap. Simplicity is the keynote of all true elegance.

UC2 also had perfect pacing with not a boring moment, although UC3 is almost a carbon copy it has too many boring moments that ruin things. The desert section for example was a bore, went on far too long.

I'm pretty sure even Naughty Dog admitted they wish they delayed UC3, and I agree, it was rushed to meet that massive holidays launch period the series needs alongside holiday bundling, clearly the game suffered for it. Oh well, it sold well and it is still a good game overall, probably great on its on but it pales in comparison to UC2.

UC2 (9.5/10) >> UC3 (8.5/10) > UC1 (8/10)



Uc3 is my favourite game in the trilogy and my favourite action adventure game because of the soundtrack and because i love anything related to desert and sand. But Uc2 is a better designed game and a better game overall.

Uncharted 2 was a great story with setpieces build around it.. Uncharted 3 was setpieces with a disjointed story trying to piece them together.. made no sense talking about Nate's stolen name and lifetime personal issues, Lawrence of Arabia's death, secret society.... and then completely abandoned right after introducing them... Hints of Talbot being "magical".. and nothing.. And what about the spiders?

And Uncharted 3 had horrible aiming before they patched it.. how they f up that one while they already had it perfect with 2..

From what I understand, the spiders is what caused the hallucinations.  That urn thingy at the end was filled with them (Maybe their corpses).  At least I read that somewhere online, cause you know, fuck explaining things in a game.

@OP gameplay was supurb in the third.  The way the game kept on building and adding gameplay ideas; I can honestly say I haven't played a game that executed that so perfectly.  But there were issues though as NikkoM pointed out.  They somehow managed to ruin the aiming.  They also had really sloppy spawn points.  The game was incoherently pieced together.  There just wasn't any polish.  Which compared to how tightly knit the second game was, is dissapointing for the third.



Aha! I totally agree.

2 was alright, but it was 3 that made me fall in love with the series.

But you know... commercial reviewers and the readers that echo what they say.



For me 2 edges 3 out by a bit, but liked 3's multiplayer better. Both amazing games.



Been saying this for years and received only hate for it. The gunplay and platforming are tighter, the set pieces as a whole are better (though the train is still the best single one in the series), the villains are MILES better to me and much more developed, the meeting Sully segment was my favorite part of basically any Uncharted, the ending is MUCH better than 2 especially the final fight.  I have no opinions on MP the only time I touch online play is to get the trophies.  Ok I gave it a chance but like every other online MP it doesn't entertain me for long while I go back to the stories and replay them time and again like enjoying one of my favorite films but with gameplay and 8 hours long (on easy mode replays)
