Uncharted 3 is that kind of video-game that when you see game-play videos of it you may say "Oh it isn't that good, it's just extremely overrated !", or "Nah, I'll pass it.". But when you play it you realize that it isn't nothing short of a miracle in gaming history. Starting with the game-play, the game is extremely fluid with very nice and familiar controls (especially for the ones that already played the last two games of the series), the shooting mechanics are the best among third person shooters and the exploration of the environments is very good because of all the climbing you can do, in sum it is lots of fun. The graphics are just outrageously amazing, with almost every single detail from real life represented (not exaggerating, iv'e died during the game just because I was stunned like an idiot admiring the view) and that's just great. The sound is very good with an amazing cast for the voice acting, and gun/world sounds are also well done. About the story, in my opinion, is the only thing that isn't very good, i'm not saying that it is bad, because it isn't, but it's too similar to the last two games, with Nathan Drake looking for an ancient city and it's treasures. Sure it has some twists and interesting details, but it's still week in innovation. What isn't week in innovation though, is the multiplayer that now has lots of customization, and it's much more rewarding than it was on Uncharted 2. It also has the cooperative mode that is basically made of missions from the campaign that have been changed too adapt better to the cooperation between players. So to finish my review I just wan't to say that if you liked the Uncharted series until now, this game will only improve that "relationship", and even if you haven't experienced the other games in the series you will love this (although you should play the first two) because this is what a game should be.
