Uncharted: 10 Jaw-Dropping Scenes We Couldn't Believe
9. Pub Brawl - Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception
Finding a way to grip the player's attention that surpassed that of a literal cliffhanger as the train balances on a Himalayan peak felt like an impossible feat. Having to match the spectacular opening of its prececessor was surely a colossal task, but Uncharted 3 somehow succeeds in doing so.
Instead of attempting to further elevate the spectacle of the second game's opening, Uncharted 3 took a rather different approach to its introduction, opting for an unsettling encounter with one of the game's main antagonists before engaging in a lengthy bar fight in a London drinking den.
After a shifty attempt at trading Sir Francis Drake's ring with villain Talbot goes wrong, Nate and Sully are soon faced with a sea of brutish London thugs to fight through. The focus on melee combat was a fresh change, and the emphasis on Nate and Sully's antics provided a perfect introduction for what was to come.
It felt like such a natural place to begin, and Uncharted 3's story goes from strength to strength before its conclusion some 10 hours later.
