Not quite as good as 2 in terms of character involvement, etc, but still pretty damn good. Absolutely stunning in places, too.
The never ending supply of enemies in firefights is extremely annoying at times, but on balance they didn't absolutely ruin the ending with awful overpowered magical enemies (not for long, anyway) and an awful last boss battle. Like all the Uncharted games, though, it outstays its welcome.
Could have done with killing off Marlow and Talbot in more satisfying ways, though.
It also highlights just how much they've upped their game with The Last of Us.
8/10.
I just finished it too. I largely agree with everything you said. If I had a penny for every time Darker says "oh crap!', I'd have well over 50p. Oh! those protracted platform sections. The odd thing is they require hardly any skill whatsoever, the only set backs come from forced scripted events accompanied by the inevitable 'oh crap'. You said it Nathan.
As for the combat, about 75% through the game Drake says 'God, I'm sick of these guys'. I'd reached that point much earlier. Enemies shouldn't get up after being shot in the face with a machine gun at point blank range.
I loved Uncharted 2, but this was quite tedious at times. I guess the story pulled me along, the ending was a bit disappointing and the baddies' motives made no real sense.
