The hand-to-hand fighting isn’t particularly inspired, and gets downright tedious when you’re forced to go toe to toe with the pugilistic Brutes peppered throughout the game.ĭrake’s Deception also compromises when it comes to the platforming, opting to paint certain ledges and handholds yellow rather than making them flash obnoxiously or expecting you to search for them unaided. Nate can also just plain slug a guy or kick him in the nards, a sound strategy when dealing with the overly-armored enemies who can shrug off entire clips of ammo as though they were so many mosquitos. They’re never so bad as to be game-breaking, but their occasional fussiness stands out in sharp contrast when compared to the elegance of the rest of the game. You can only carry one pistol and one rifle at a time, but taking out a well-perched foe with the TAU sniper or rocket launcher you found lying around goes a long way towards making up for the moments when you roll instead of taking cover because of the finnicky controls. The waves of disposable soldiers you face look like they all came from the same genetic vat and vary between brain damaged and psychic, but you at least have plenty of fun toys to use against them.
The story is so good that it’s almost rude when the actual game part of Drake’s Deception interrupts the cinematics by forcing Nathan to gun down Marlowe’s goons or climb his way up some of the architecture. It’s an emotional subplot that could’ve easily turned into maudlin rumination that would’ve been at odds with the series’ tone, but instead is handled in a mature way that not only advances the story, but also makes the conclusion much more satisfying. The game delves into the cost of Nathan’s adventures, asking the difficult question of whether a life of adventuring is really worth it if you just end up alone at the end of the journey.
#Uncharted 3 game one series
The storytelling has always been a big part of what made the Uncharted series so special, and Drake’s Deception continues that tradition while also adding unexpected depth to the treasure-hunting formula. The characters of Uncharted 3 have known each other for years, and you feel the effortless intimacy that time together has built come through in every line of dialog. The sharp writing and exceptional voice acting make the cut scenes a pleasure to watch, striking a perfect balance between historical detail and easy-going conversation. She’s a marvelous bitch of a villain, a pleasing contrast to the more cartoonish bad guys Nate has faced. The city supposedly holds untold treasure, which is why it’s also in the crosshairs of Kate Marlowe, the woman who first crossed paths with Nate and Sully twenty years ago and who’ll stop at nothing to obtain the prize.
Nate and his friends are globe-hopping once again, this time in search of the Atlantis of the Sands, a city that Sir Francis Drake found for, then hid from, Queen Elizabeth.
