So developers shot video footage, grafted it onto various games (usually puzzle collections), and a genre was born.

It's the modern equivalent of those full motion video games folks made back in the 90s when new CD-ROMs afforded all that storage space. There's even a competitive/cooperative mode in which two teams of two players take turns playing the heroes and playing special thugs amid all the AI thugs.īut as an overall package, Uncharted 3 is mostly filler without gameplay. You get lots of options for leveling up, customizing your characters, and playing various types of cooperative and competitive games. But the gunplay is good, and it provides a solid foundation for the mostly typical multiplayer support. It's especially silly how you have to keep fighting the same big guy over and over, as if Uncharted 3 needs to keep saying, "Hey, remember how cool this bit was in Raider of the Lost Ark?" Uncharted 3 says that a lot. I can do without the fisticuff QTEs, which play like a bargain bin version of the fighting from Batman: Arkham City. Who cares whether there was an actual game in there?"Īs a shooter, Uncharted 3 is solid, if not mostly the same as it's ever been.
