Great article Gideon. There are a few things I would like to touch upon.
The different points in the game where combat was required, it forces the player to use different tactics, sometimes using shotguns to take out large enemies, sometimes to use stealth or a shield, and other times to run head long to take cover beneath snipers, taking out the ones on the ground first and then dealing with the snipers. Finding the right place to take cover and attack from is crucial. Thinking about how to approach the combat keeps the combat sequences interesting, which could easily have become a boring chore of clearing out an area so you can continue with the game.
One area I will disagree with you is that of an illusion of a non-linear game. While playing UC3 (I am about 70% through the game), I never once had the feeling of a non-linear game. You are never faced with choices and every area in the game has it limits as to where you can go. Even in the chase scenes, it forces you to go only one way. Unlike Dragon Age where the main story is linear, but you make choices that change some outcomes and gives you a real illusion of a non-linear game.
Overall a great review for a visually stunning and fun game to play. A great installment in the series.

Nice review hun!

I love the series. Uncharted is awesome. The new multi-player is a lot faster paced and pretty challenging. I’m not great at accuracy when it comes to one on one gunfights and I do miss my shotgun and pistol from UC2.

All in all I have to say the new online experience is amazing. The single player is very nice too. I’m not sure it surpasses Uncharted Among Thieves but it’s a great addition to the series.

I can’t tell if this is sarcasm or not. I deliberately tried to leave spoilers out. The only thing that could possibly considered a spoiler, I think, is my assessment of Charlie. I didn’t reveal any pertinent information about him that pertains directly to the game or plot. To me a spoiler is a bit of information that removes the impact of events within the plot of a movie/game. If I did include something that spoils a part of Uncharted 3 for someone I apologize.

Having never played anything in this series I appreciate your review of it. After playing the TGI in Home I was left considering buying the whole series eventually. I still might do that at some point in the future as between that and your review it has peaked my interest. I love history, and this game seems to be an RPG/action genre piece, so all three of those factors work in favor of me buying it. Good job as always Gideon.
