As solid of a movie game as you can get. On a gameplay perspective, what more could you need? Grand set pieces to more fluid mechanics compared the first 2. On a story…IT STARTED SO STRONG, intriguing setup and motives were put into place. But…. once you eventually split off from Cutter and Chole it starts to take a small nose dive into mediocre territory. In parts though, through interactions with the main cast, there is really good writing and performances, but as a whole game it comes out like, well, quite one noted. The villains, secret society that has been around for centuries with ties to Sully and Nate, seemed like a interesting plot point and then, decided not to be. Super vague in intentions and morality, near nonexistent in presence throughout the game besides the 1000s of henchmen thrown at you and are killed off in a very, VERY, bland fashion , easily the worst part of the game. And if I have ever seen a rushed ending, made me smile though with good writing (Naughty Dog knows the best character moments are with Nate and Elena damnit). One thing that cant be argued is, as far as the ps3 trilogy is concerned, easily has the best cinematography and environments. The score has become one of my favorites from this era as well. (THE FRENCH HORNS IN DRAKES THEME 3.0???? GAS!) Oh and puzzles did actually take some thought and were fun to figure out without the game itself showing you the answers. Overall I enjoyed my time, great gameplay, lackluster story, yet I love these characters.

Took me 25 hours to beat 1-3, so its time to finish it off with 4 and Lost Legacy, cant wait!
