Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception

This is one of the best games of all time the combat in the game is just insane weather your breaking beer glasses or a bar stool over someones head the excitement doesn't just end there the multiplayer with tons and tons of new ways to play and game types it will leave you on the edge of your seat for hours and hours of excitement.Trust me if you've played the original uncharted games once you put this game in you can tell the difference from the beginning the graphics the game play everything I was kinda worried when I saw the trailer and I thought the game might not live up to its expectations but I was surely wrong if I was to announce game of the year I would definitely go with uncharted 3.

Naughty Dog promised us something far more spectacular and fantastic. And as they did alone came the new game that everyone was excited for was Uncharted 3 Drake's Deception. This game proved to be a very great stealth based game and was more that Naughty Dog could deliver to it's gamers.

Uncharted Drake's Deception is the best game of 2011. If you have not yet played it before it is fantastic. The story deals with how Nathan Drake is going on his new quest. Possibly so that he can explore and find out what's happening. Alone the way he meets someone named Victor Sullivan who becomes his friend later on and they both find out what's happening. Meanwhile Atlantis and it's terrible leaders could mean trouble for the 2. So they must find Atlantis Of The Sands or else they won't make it.

This game has an amazing story that takes you throughout the game. It's fast packed and is full of action. From all points. You get to discover how great the story moves nicely along as you play the game even further which is just amazing.

This game also not to mention has great graphics and has great stealth that you can use to dodge the enemy's attacks and also shoot them or grab their weapons when they are defeated which is a neat feature. But also you can snap their neck. Grab them and throw them off tall ledges. And also shoot at them with any weapon of your choice. But also to note is that they get a lot smarter and try to stop you so it's always important to duck and or dodge the attack in case it happens.

Also this game has better looking graphics and looks better then the previous both games. Also they look much realistic here and the characters as well. But also the sand and of course all of the enemies which look really realistic compared to both of the other games in it's predecessor. It just makes this game more better looking and more realistic compared to the other games in the trilogy.

Also there's this really cool feature where you get to punch enemies and fight with them. Of course in boss fights you need to press each key to make the main character fight him off. And of course as you progress the fights will keep getting intense and really hard just after a few minutes. So what you need to do in each order is press the keys as you are told to do and then you will either kick the enemy or punch him depending on how you decide to fight him off your back. This feature is brand new and of course is something that you will need to learn once you get the hang of the game. It will get difficult as it progresses but you will learn it pretty soon.

Also this game has plenty of brand new levels and just like Batman Arkham City, These levels will get hard as you keep going through them trying to figure out what your objective is and what task you need to complete. Although these levels will not seem all too easy for the player. They will get extremely hard for you as you manage to complete the task. So not only will you get through further throughout the game. But also because you will need to kill enemies in order to pass that same level so you won't be getting any trouble to complete it at all.

If you are a fan of Uncharted then get this game. It's the best action game of 2011 and you will not be disappointed with it at all. This game is just a great game for the fans or gamers who wanna play it. This game also has amazing graphics and a great action fast paced story through it.

Out of all the video games ever released in gaming history, the Uncharted saga stands out as one of the best. Ever. Calling this series the "modern-day Indiana Jones" is pretty close to what is it, but in all respects, it's a mix of Indy and the Lord of the Rings. "How does LotR fit into the picture?", you might ask. Well, here's how: the scope and scale of the Uncharted games/stories is so massive, you are truly thrust into a whole new world (almost literally in the last 2 games). But in all respect for the games, there is not much i can offer but to say that these games are works of art. There are very, very few game sagas that truly deserve universal acclaim, or near-universal, and the Uncharted saga is one of them. Drake's Fortune was a spectacular, ground-breaking set piece for consoles, and then Among Thieves was released; a landmark and milestone of the gaming world. Drake's Deception is as good as Among Thieves, and completely awe-inspiring; an adventure epic.

P.S. To those staying on top of the movie adaptation news, please help try to find a way to get Sony to pick new writers because, The Wibberleys, really? They are one of the WORST choices to write the film for Drake's Fortune. I say either Jonathan Nolan & David S. Goyer, or William Monahan & John Logan

Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception takes place about two years after the events of Uncharted 2. This time Drake is looking for a treasure that both Francis Drake and T.E. Lawrence were after. Ubar, Iram of the Pillars, The Atlantis of the Sands. Drake's gotten in over his head this time as a mysterious woman named Katherine Marlowe is looking for the lost city along with her group of men, and they'll stop at nothing from preventing Nate and Sully from getting to the city alive.

Nathan Drake, Victor Sullivan, Elena and Chloe are all back to go after this incredible treasure and the world is throwing everything at them. First let's talk melee combat. Uncharted has gradually gotten better with hand to hand combat as the series goes on and I think Uncharted 3 has just about mastered it. You can take on more than one enemy, pick up an object nearby and hit your opponent, and counter with relative ease. Gunplay is still the same, with the same duck and cover routine as the previous games.

The puzzles in Uncharted 3 can range from easy to mind-numbingly hard. I'll admit I had to look up how to solve a puzzle or two but once you find out how it goes it becomes fairly simple.

Of course one of the things that makes Uncharted so appealing are the graphics. They look amazing. The characters are even more realistic than last time and some of the environments are really mind blowing. Two things that stood out for me were the areas with fire and the desert areas. The sand looks real, the fire looks real. Sometimes it feels like you could just reach out and touch the locations. Nate makes subtle movements as he's walking too that give him a bigger sense of reality, though sometimes it feels a little awkward.

All I can say is Naughty Dog has delivered once more. While the climax felt a little rushed to me and the game is a bit short, Uncharted 3 is a game that is just as good if not better than its predecessor. I'll be playing it a lot more times in the future and I recommend it to any Play Station 3 owner.

Pros:

• Great story & characters
• Simple but effective gameplay
• Great graphics
• Great voice acting and animation

Cons:

• Enemies are still very spongy...
• Not allot of innovation from Uncharted 2 (thou not really needed)

Verdict: A great uncharted instalment, thou not allot of differentiation from 2, but doesn't necessarily need it.

8.5/10
