So I did actually get to sit down for a couple of hours last night with my copy of Uncharted 3 after all. So far all I can say is it's a great game. More of the same that I've come to know and love from Naughty Dog and the Uncharted series. The character development of the relationship between Sully and Drake is the kind of stuff that someone invested in a series can usually only hope to be let in on. It's really nice to be given the insight into how they came to have the friendship those of us who've played the series have come to know and love. The game mechanics are more of what you'd expect from Uncharted with some nice little touches in the form of additions to the attack moves and the little ways with which Drake interacts with the environment that just makes things that much more real.

I know this game is another one of those titles with a campaign that I will not want to end so I'm trying not to just push through the story mode too fast. I'm definitely going to replay it but I want that first run through to have all the magic that it's due. The co-op modes add just that much replayability, that I'm sure to waste endless hours playing with my good buddy who is just as hyped about this game as I am. And I'm well on my way in the multiplayer side of things as well, having been able to keep my stats from the previous beta. So far definitely holding up to the GOTY expectations that I've had for this title. Now I just wish I was home playing instead of not working while typing up this blog. :cool:
