Uncharted 3 is turning out to be one of the most successful launches ever for the PS3. In one week the adventure title has sold 1.1 million copies, and according to VG Charts that is actually 30% higher than sales for Uncharted 2. In addition, VG Charts also mentions how this is the “4th biggest exclusive launch for a PlayStation 3 game, behind Gran Turismo 5, Metal Gear Solid 4 and God of War 3″.
This is not totally unexpected of course. With the success of Uncharted 2 people have been eagerly anticipating a follow-up since the minute they completed it two years ago. Then there’s not to mention the nearly perfect review scores and praise from fans all over the world for the threequel. The only complaint that I have heard is from a very small minority of people that game does not live up to Uncharted 2 but those seem to be quiet voices so far.
I have yet to pick up my copy of the game but I anticipate doing so fairly soon. For people who have already beaten the game, is Uncharted 3 better than Uncharted 2 or could it not live up to its predecessor?

Just finished it. best game i have played in a very long time. i think its way better that Uncharted 2. There are sooo many different environments throughout the world that you get to play through.
This is a very beautiful game too – many a time i found myself standing still just admiring the level designs the detail is spectacular.
I thought from the front cover that most of the game was based in the desert but actually very little of the game is in the dessert. Its not a complaint – just an observation.
**desert not dessert – at no point do you play in a dessert.
In a word uncharted 3 is amazing. Just finished it and it really is a showcase of how the lines between games and movies are blurring. Thrilling, tense, emotional, funny… It really is a master class in gaming and story telling. One of the best ever video games!
Huge Uncharted fan, completed 1 and 2 in no time which is rare for me as I very rarely complete solo campaigns as I get bored easily. However, with the Uncharted series, I was gutted when the campaigns ended such was the fun I was having playing the game
My only complaint for the first 2 games was the lack of multiplayer. Uncharted 2 rectified this a little but the multiplayer overall, was pretty lame so after completing the solo campaign, I rarely played the game again.
In Uncharted 3 though, apparantly the multiplayer is much improved and good enough to ensure many more hours of gameplay even after completing the campaign which is good to hear.
Having said all that, with the glut of games coming/already out this month, I have to prioritise which games I prefer and want the most. Im getting a new PS3 some time this week and the order in which I prioritise the games are as follows.
Fifa 12 (god I love football), Skyrim (self-explanatory), MW3 (never played the COD games, very excited to tryit out), Uncharted 3.
Shame it couldn’t be even more. I implore any PS3 owners to buy the game. Naughty Dog really are up there as one of the finest game developers. Is better than Among Thieves? I’m not too sure, but it’s certainly one of the very best games of 2011.
It is a fantastic game the way it looks never fails to impress, the lighting, movement and environments are just beautiful. The little waterfall and stream in the French forest is a small but amazing example of how much effort has gone into this game.
However, i will say, being a huge fan of the franchise, that when i first started playing something didnt “feel” right in the controls and it was something that i couldn’t get used to.
That may sound stupid, it is still an awesome game and i cannot wait for the next installment!..
Despite the lack of single player replay value and questions from the story not being answered, Uncharted 3 perfects very possible thing it could have, best game I ever played, much better than Uncharted 2!!!
