Below I will briefly on the single-player, and thus enter the main argument of the game.
Story: The game is an action game. Climbing, shooting flee, and solve puzzles. The story is built around sent to these core elements. Therefore, this falls of lean largely. Although it is set perfectly. This is not unlike any other action movies / Action games. It's all about the fun 'not profound Stories like Deus Ex or Heavy Rain. We play again Nathan Drake in search of a mysterious city. Notes to the place we get back from our ancestors Sir Francis Drake. Along the way, some (all) old acquaintances accompany us from the predecessors. Some minor twists and turns keep us on the path at the rod. In the end, it was the about it. More is but as I said not necessary.
Graphics: Here is brought out everything that is technically possible. Great scenery, partly excellent wide views, locales around the world, excellent animation and simply loving attention to detail. Since you can complain for a console in any case. Every now and then there are a few nasty clipping error. But since you do not stuck, but just can not go on falling so significant.
Sound: Again, this is excellent. Clear sound, the weapons are not as realistic as in Battlefield 3 'but that also requires none. The ambient noise and the voice acting (English and German) are excellent! Here is the translation makes sense to invest money and not just hingerotzt something (sorry for these direct words).
Gameplay: The proven control of the predecessor or predecessors were taken. There are a handful of new elements such as the melee that looks really good. Again, Naughty Dog has made thoughts and brought some fresh wind.
Playing time: That depends very much on the player. Who does not seek any treasure, and not too much the environment can affect you and ultimately even on 'simple' is played in 6 hours (as long as it took me the second time). The first time, on medium difficulty and largely complete treasure hunt you can double the time loose and hit a further 2 hours.
Conclusion: Uncharted 3 really makes everything right. There are few points of criticism. Only problem: it is not overtaken its predecessor. And that's what I had 'and many others' expected. Nevertheless, it is in the field Action Adventures out of competition and a buy recommendation. 4 stars for the total package 'of predecessors would have gotten 5.
