The characterisations by the actors is second to none and even though this tall-tale takes you to fantastical places and events, the script is never once unbelievable. You never feel like an outsider. If anything, you'll feel right at home, ensconced in the constant drama of this loveable cast of returning reprobates and reprehensible villains. [Dec 2011, p60]

It's more than just the best entry in an outstanding series though - it epitomises the very reason many of us play video games. And that's its greatest achievement.

Only a few camera troubles stopped us from giving Drake's Deception the highest rating. Uncharted 3 is without doubt the best PS3 exclusive game of this year. [Dec 2011]

While I did enjoy this game, I think the second game was better and I think I even enjoy the first game over this one. I just felt like the plot wasn’t as good as the previous two though I did like when we finally got to the desert. Otherwise, this is my least favorite in the series so far and hopefully Uncharted 4 will be better.

Voto reale 6,5.
Giocato per la prima volta nel 2026, il voto deriva da una prima parte personalmente molto deludente da vari punti di vista, a cui avrei assegnato 5, e una seconda parte decisamente più in linea rispetto ai precedenti capitoli, a cui avrei assegnato 8.

Una secuela excelente que mantiene el nivel de la saga, aunque sin alcanzar la grandeza absoluta de su procesador.
Escenas espectaculares.
Mejoras en el combate y movimiento.
Desarrollo de personajes.
Gran apartado gráfico.

There's no question here: this isn't just the best Uncharted game Naughty Dog have made, it's probably the best PlayStation 3 game anyone has made – and I'm not sure what other praise I can offer.

Uncharted 3 — 10/10
A visually stunning and ambitious sequel that expands the scale of the series. Uncharted 3 offers incredible cinematic moments, from plane crashes to desert survival, all backed by strong character dynamics. The gameplay feels smoother and more refined, with improved melee combat. While the story can feel slightly less focused than its predecessor, the spectacle, humor, and emotional beats make it an unforgettable adventure.

I'm absolutely doing this for a third time! God I love this series! Keep 'em comin! Again, nothing but improvements and doing what this game does best - treasure hunting, adventure, mystery, intrigue, and combat!

For adventurers who prefer a stealthy approach, we have good news: the balance between shooting and taking enemies out with your fists is much better balanced this time round. Nearly every confrontation can be handled in various ways. [Nov 2011, p.58]

Uncharted is still an incredible cinematic experience, but its own issues remain the same: limited interactivity, often too linear. Despite this, it's still one of the best adventure titles of the year, one you shouldn't miss. Multiplayer is just an add-on, but a very well crafted one.

It's a close call between Among Thieves and Drake's Deception to the crown of best game in the franchise, however I think the unpredictable twists that are woven into the fantastic story let the newest episode reach a new pinnacle and I recommend everyone to play it.

While it never quite reaches the highs of Uncharted 2, Uncharted 3's slick, relentless action, beautiful visuals and beefed-up multiplayer ensure that it stands well enough on its own.

Two years after Thieves, Uncharted's gameplay mechanics and conventions are no longer dated; they're borderline archaic.

la historia es increíble de principio a fin. Cada capítulo mantiene la tensión y la emoción, sin momentos aburridos. Es un placer conocer más a Nathan Drake,Lo negativo seria igual el sistema de disparos

With some of the best set-pieces the series offers, this is a wildly inconsistent and often frustrating sequel. As part of the Nathan Drake Collection it's a bit buggy.

Attempting at a more grounded story than previous chapters, Drake's Deception gives more depth to its main cast, but the plot itself is poorly written, with weirdly repetitive, unexplained plotpoints and aimless themes. Gameplay-wise, the experience is roughly of the same quality as its predecessor: puzzles are as awful as ever, and even if action set-pieces aren't quite as many as Among Thieves, it makes up for it with slightly deeper hand-to-hand combat and more complex, diversified maps.
SummaryA search for the fabled "Atlantis of the Sands" propels fortune hunter Nathan Drake on a trek into the heart of the Arabian Desert. When the terrible secrets of this lost city are unearthed, Drake's quest descends into a desperate bid for survival that strains the limits of his endurance and forces him to confront his deepest fears.
