Uncharted 3 really any different than Uncharted 2?

Quality-wise, aren't they pretty much the same? I did notice that Uncharted 2 received a 9.5 and 3 received a 9.0 this difference is miniscule and arguably insignificant. I had a terrific time all throughout playing Uncharted 2, so I look forward to carrying on with the series with the third game. I just want to know if it's generally the same amount of fun as the second game so I know what to expect and won't set myself up for disappointment prior to buying/playing it.

I don't think it's quite up there with Uncharted 2, but it's still an excellent game.SoNin360

Uncharted 3 has a very similar layout in terms of plot devices and set pieces, but it does one up Uncharted 2 a couple times with set pieces. Uncharted 3 was marked down because it didn't really evolve the series at all. If you've played Uncharted 2 you've basically played Uncharted 3; however, this seems to be what you want, so you won't be disappointed.

The story isn't as good as 2, and it also reuses a lot of things. There are a couple sequences that are done throughout the story multiple times, and it basically reuses the entire segment of the last sequence of Uncharted 2.

Well Uncharted 3 is still amazing, but the change between 2 and 3 is minimal compared to the change between 1 and 2. It also has a few shortcomings, like the aiming being a tad iffy at launch, hit detection being suspect online, and a few plot holes in the story and less overall story focus compared to 2, but its still a damn amazing game worthy of its AAA score.

It's definitely worth playing because it's a fantastic action adventure filled with peril and excitement, but it isn't as awesome as Uncharted 2, which was always going to be tough to surpass anyway.

I think its every bit as good, but coming after a classic is never an easy thing to do. thats what makes it look not as good. i thought the story was worse, but loved the flow of the game. i couldn't put either down once i picked them up

well different story if thats what you mean...

its a good game just like any other in the series

How should they "evolve" the series? What could they do to it that would "evolve" it and still hold true to what fans of the series have come to expect from it?

I'm not sure how a person could like 'Uncharted' 1 or 2 and not like 3.

I wouldn't say the supernatural stuff is a huge part of the series. It's there sure, but on the whole the supernatural enemies have gotten fairly little screen time in the overall run of the games. And Marlow wasn't the final boss, Talbot was. Granted it wasn't much of a boss fight, but it was at least as much, if not a bit more, of a fight as you had against Navarro in UC1.

You really want to see a boss fight between a battle-hardened dude in his mid 30's and at his physical peak against an 60+ year-old woman who's probably never been involved in an actual fight herself?

As a full package, U3 is much better than U2; it has a solid campaign, same as 2, but the multiplayer is so fleshed out and much better this time. So as a full package, you're getting more but if you're only in it for the campaign then there isn't a lot in it, both U2 and U3 are quality campaigns and I think you'll thoroughly enjoy 3 :)
