Iloveall three Uncharted games. Heck, I even like Golden Abyss. I'm a huge fan of the series, and I rarely ever criticize it, but whenever I do, I do it for UC2. In fact, I believe Uncharted 3 is much better than Uncharted 2. Why? Because-

SPOILER ALERT

1. Uncharted 2 had one huge mistake- beginning with the Borneo mission till the mission where we have to get to Chloe in the train, the pacing was fantastic. It was fast, it was was thrilling, it was exciting. But the missions prior to the Borneo missions and the snowy missions later in the game killed the pace. Sure, it was still enjoyable then, but it was nothing like the middle missions which ran at a breakneck pace.

Uncharted 3, on the other hand, runs at an excellent pace right from the beginning till the end. I was disappointed with the ending, yeah, but the overall experience was much better than UC2.

2. Uncharted 2's explanation for the Yetis and the "monsters" was really stupid. I mean, people wearing masks? Really?

3. Uncharted 3's set pieces were much better than those in UC2. The horse chase, the sinking ship, the airplane crash... s many memorable moments.

4. A much better story, better character interaction, better storytelling.

5. IT HAS MOAR SULLY.

U2 had a much bigger impact on me. It was more memorable, the pacing was great and the multiplayer was alot better than U3s for me.
I beat U3 in one sitting, it was pretty easy and had less memorable moments. It was good but not as good.

I find the uncharted series to be very uninteresting. Third person cover shooter with health regen. Damn that's boring. Can't wait for the last of them though.

I disagree OP. The pacing at the beginning of UC3 is horribly slow. I know they were doing it for charcater development which I did like better than UC2 but it just seemed they forgot it at the last part of the game. I will say it had the best levels of all the games with the graveyard and the ship. Too bad the ending was a dissapointment. The MP was more fleshed out which was great. UC3 was a great game but you can tell it was rushed to get out to the masses for Christmas unfortunately. Too bad they didn't have another 3 months to tighten up the story.

I agree.

U2 was disappointing after all the praise I heard of. U3 was more fun to me, maybe cause I wasnt expacting as much as I was with U2

As far as I am concerned, the original Uncharted was better than both. The first Uncharted managed to walk that very fine line between interactive cinema and fine gameplay, without wrecking the balance in one way or the other as well. It was exquisitely paced, its characters all aroused interest, the story was intriguing, the gameplay was compelling and a nice amalgamation of everything that had happened in the genre so far, and overall, the game was just a fresh, fun experience to play. The thing that killed Uncharted 2 was, like you said, the way it's structure is set up. Purely from a storytelling perspective, framing a story in flashback with the aftermath of the 'climax' of the framed story being shown beforehand, and then the story gradually moving towards said aftermath makes a lot of sense; the fact that Uncharted 2 has even more of a story beyond that makes it even better. If it were a book or a movie, it would have been an excellent, albeit well used, technique. On the other hand, in Uncharted 2 as a game, it absolutely kills the pacing by having the player have to deal with the slowest possible segments first, followed by an explosive third, and then back to an excruciating pace. It kills of any and all interest in the game. Uncharted 3 had the opposite problem. It ditches its interactivity entirely, and attempted to be a movie. One, very long, very fast paced movie, padded with banal developments that the player couldn't bring himself to care about. The sheen of set pieces like the plane and the ship disappeared with time, as there is only so many times you can reuse and reutilize the same gimmick. Note that I'm not calling either Uncharted 2 or Uncharted 3 bad games. Just laying down my reasons for my opinion that the first one might be the best one.

Uncharted 3? Excellent pacing? Sh*t leading up to the boat was terrible. Patforming elements were used as filler there and made it bluntly dull as hell. And don't get me started on all the brute/regular sh*t melee fights, and the drug-scenes.

Uncharted 2 was longer, had more single player features and it's MP took more skill.

Uncharted 3 just has few more MP modes and more MP features.

I think the characters are great and the shooting mechanics poor.That goes for both games. But as a series it's better than most.

UC2 was the only UC game that I thought was good. The other UC games barring golden abyss(OK) were trash.

Uncharted 3 had its moments (shipyard gameplay , sandstorm gameplay , the twist gameplay).

The story in Uncharted 3 was a great dissapointment. Some weird plot holes and oddities made it felt like a rushed product.

Demon's souls is a much better game. Much, Much, Much better game. So much better that i don't get bored of Demon's souls after 40 hours of play time. Can't say the same about uncharted games. After 4 hours it becomes boring. Probably because linear games are not my cup of tea.

Nah it's not much better. Just a different kind of game. I played Uncharted 2 for well over 300 hours and didn't get bored. So I guess according to your fallacious logic Uncharted 2 is 9 times better than Demon's Souls. Fortunately your logic is well fallacious.

Demon's Souls, by nature, is designed to exclude and alienate players. It's supposed to frustrate most players to the point that they stop playing it, so that it filters out only the so called 'hardcore' elites. I'm sorry, but I think most of the praise for Demons Souls comes from this entitled elitist mentality that most of us have, a superiority complex that we demonstrate using games like Demons Souls. Uncharted 2, by nature of its game design, is better. In any case, Demons Souls was thoroughly bested by its sequel. Uncharted 2 was not.

Uncharted 2 had a bigger jump from Drake's Fortune more so than Uncharted 3 had on 2. Both amazing action games though.

I preferred uncharted 2, but I've never been a huge fan of the Uncharted series, I find them slightly overrated, great games, just not as great as some people think they are. The shooting segments are subpar.

I love both games, but Uncharted 3 is the worst in the series by default simply because of Chapter 18.

It's the worst section in any video game ever. That one section alone killed any interest I had in replaying.

Edit - Why are people mentioning story? Who cares. They're awful in every Uncharted and if you're playing it for story you're doing it wrong.
