Drake strikes gold: Uncharted 3 reviews go live

With the reviews embargo now lifted, scores have started to drop in for Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception before next week’s release. Are the ratings as high as Uncharted 2? Signs point to yes.

It’s all looking candy so far, having already hit 93 on MetaCritic, two points behind UC2. Get the full lot so far below.

If you have a link you want us to add, chuck it in the comments.

Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception launches in the US next Tuesday, and in the UK and Europe next Wednesday for PlayStation 3.

I can’t leave this for Xmas. I preordered LIMITED EDITION and i’m happy about it.

I bought Uncharted 2:LE and this is no different.

Love the series a lot.

Hmm… Interesting. There are no 10/10 scores. thats impossible, or Sony forgot to pay them.

Cannot wait for this, although as Colin alludes; my wallet has pretty much taken a comprehensive pounding these past few weeks.

Perhaps I should guilt-request it from a long-lost relative for chrimbo or something.

@7 TheSixthAxis gave it 10/10, and they’re not the kind of site that is paid off.

IGN’s Greg Miller gave it a perfect 10/10, with full marks in each category. http://au.ps3.ign.com/articles/121/1210241p1.html
If it weren’t Uncharted, you’d have to be sceptical of any console review from Greg, being a clear PlayStation fanboy & all…

This will probably be the second highest rated game of the year right after Arkham City.

I know for sure that Uncharted 3 is a great game or even a masterpiece, but there is too much controversy about it’s scores to be honest.

I don’t get it why Eurogamer gave it an 8. Anyway, I bet Uncharted 3 is something special. Can’t wait for it.

EG gave it an 8 because they’re review scoring system only has two scores 7 or 8.

@16: Read the review, and maybe you’ll find out.

Agreed. Reading the Eurogamer review I actually thought it was going to score lower, the reviewer seemed concerned about the scripted nature of some of the set pieces. To be honest I’ve been sold on this game since I finished Uncharted 2 so reviews aren’t really going to sway me anyway. Need to get some quality time with Batman before this arrives too…

@24, I don’t have to play it to know that it’s 100% Uncharted. :S

What’s wrong with 8? It’s more of the same so that seems reasonable to me since there hasn’t been much innovation regarding the gameplay. The Batman games are a good gauge: AC has improved and expanded significantly on the first instalments as UC2 did on UC1 but UC3 is mostly UC2 with a new story and further polishing and tweaking.

@41 have to admit it got me more excited than i was previously. not fussy on the multiplayer but cannot wait for single player.

Another bout of Dude Raider *yawn*, the insipid child of a bunk up between Gears, Prince of Persia & Indiana Jones. Trying desperately to be as good as its parents and failing on all fronts….

Don’t worry. Modern Warfare 3 will score 10/10 from everyone. (I will be very surprised if not. :D )

@OrbitMonkey, HOW THE F… you bought 40GB fatboy if at that time there was no uncharted 2 if i’m not mistaken. :D

IGN say it’s a flawless game.

10 for everything?

Not a single bad point??

I’m sceptical.

It doesn’t seem to match up with EG’s opinion, either.

@Erthazus, I got the 40gig after watching the trailer for Uncharted… Loved the series ever since. It pretty much ticks all my male wish fulfilment boxes :)

EG is shit anyway. AC fanboys.

MGS4 got 8/10 from them.
