Uncharted

[joex486]

I mean this thread to just be a general discussion of the Uncharted series.

 

I recently bought the Uncharted Dual Pack (which, if you don't know, contains the first two games). I've now beaten the stories of both games, and have proceeded to get killed a lot in Uncharted 2's multiplayer. I would like to hear other people's thoughts about all of the games in the series, but for now, here are mine:

 

I like these games. A lot. With the first game, I was entranced by the storytelling and had a ton of fun with the platforming, the puzzles, and the gunplay, none of which ever got stale. The second I found to be even better, with more varied combat, more detailed puzzles, and a return of navigational challenges. However, at the end of Among Thieves, I did find myself somewhat disappointed with parts of the story. I realized that neither game had an extraordinary, especially memorable story, but the original game's plot and characters made sense. However, with the second game, I was confused as to both Flynn's motive for following Lazarevic and Chloe's motive for helping Drake with a quest that she even says is beyond what she should or can do (forgive my vagueness, but I don't know how to hide spoilers and I don't know whether it's prudent to put them on full display for these games.). I also felt that, while the powers of the Cintamani stone were certainly dangerous in the wrong hands, they were far from the sort of world-threatening powers that the other characters seem to imply.

While I realize that I have spent more space on complaints than on compliments, that is simply because I don't know how to adequately compliment these games. They truly are amazing, and I definitely think that I will get the third one.

 

I also realize I didn't give an opinion on UC2's multiplayer. That's simply because I haven't played it very much yet.

 

Now, i would like to hear some other thoughts and opinions about this series.
