I wondered the same thing before playing it. Now that I have it I'm still confused, but in a different way. It seems like the game is doing everything right, but I just can't seem to get into it. I loved U2 and thought it was a fun way to basically play a video game of Indiana Jones mixed with National Treasure. Maybe it's that I'm tired of the characters, especially those who have been there throughout all 3 games. Chloe and the new guy aren't bad, but again there isn't nearly enough Chloe and she is just kind of there. Likewise, the puzzles are getting old, as they're basically the same or very similar for 3 games now, so they're just getting tedious.
The action is still fun, as is going through new areas.
I'm not saying it's a bad game because that would be a lie, but it's not as captivating as the 2nd.
Regardless, I'm still excited for The Last of Us, and when I get a Vita next year I'll probably get the Uncharted game for it.
It's still a solid game, just not as good as the 2nd. Granted, it probably gets too much hate rather than constructive criticism.
Naughty Dog probably realizes this and will take some time off for other games (as they're doing) in order to go back and make another Uncharted as good as U2.
