Uncharted 3 will undoubtedly be compared to its predecessor, for the two standalone leagues ahead of their genre. The sheer level of intensity, played out in the most cinematic blockbuster action packed scenes to grace a gaming platform, with a surprising level of variety and detail that resonates...

Unprecedented cinematic excellence; Stunningly beautiful throughout; Fantastic and witty cast of characters

Occasional combat difficulty spikes; Gun based combat harms the immersion; Combat focused multiplayer

The original Uncharted was an enjoyable action/adventure game, but its sequel shattered expectations back in 2009. Now that Uncharted 3 has arrived those expectations have gone through the roof.

More melee combat and puzzle-solving results in better pacing; Features the best villain in the series; Improved multiplayer suite

Not as many jaw-dropping moments as its predecessor

It’s no secret that I’m a big Uncharted fan and that Nathan Drake is one of my favorite characters in all of gaming. There’s just something about the ensemble of characters that Naughty Dog has assembled...

+ Varied; beautiful locales; + Fantastic score; + Improved melee combat; + Characters; story and voicing are top notch

is a highly anticipated release is an understatement. This, more then any other game, is going to be the hottest property on the PS3 this Christmas so, for Sony's sake, it better live up to the hype. Does it? Hell yes it does. I'll say it right now, this is one of the best video games of all time.

Uncharted is undoubtedly the jewel in the PlayStation 3's rather slender crown of exclusive titles. An appropriate metaphor for a series concerned with the adventures of treasure-hunter, or should that be tomb raider, Nathan Drake.

Fancy thrills, spills, mystery and romance? Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception is a PS3 blockbuster worth defying death for.

Dazzling blend of matinee thrills and all-action gaming; The most spectacular set-pieces in the business; Incredible graphics and a game with real heart

A mostly linear experience; Works best if you've played Uncharted and Uncharted 2

We have a red hot favourite for Game of the Year. It's the rough-edged, dreamy eyed fortune hunter, Nate Drake that's leading the charge. Uncharted 3 : Drakes Deception is a beautifully crafted, near perfect video game. A game that makes playing video games all the more worthwhile.

When it was first announced last year, Naughty Dog's Fortune Hunters' Club promised fans a discounted wad of digital content for Uncharted 3's blockbuster multiplayer component. Quickly mulling over the sums, anyone who enlisted in the twenty quid scheme easily got their money's worth, though some...

Gorgeous and well structured; Features locations previously left untouched; New in-game set pieces
