10 Things An Xbox Player Learned Playing Uncharted For The First Time

5. Drake's Deception May Just Be The Best Of The Trilogy

When I heard that Drake's Deception held a controversial reputation within the Uncharted community, I have to admit I was a little apprehensive. After all, it's not totally anomalous for videogame trilogies to falter in their third and final entries, and with a series I already thought was a little overhyped to begin with, I began bracing myself for disappointment.

Oh, how wrong I was.

Drake's Deception is a beautiful game. In fact, it may not only just be the best Uncharted game, but the best PlayStation game of its era too. Maybe I'm saying this because ol' Nate, Elena and Sully had really grown on me by the time I started my playthrough of Uncharted 3.

Or maybe it's because Drake's Deception had the best gameplay of the three. Either way, there's no dispute that the series' original finale was a magnum opus in its own right - one that certainly deserves a higher standing in the community's eyes than it currently enjoys.
