Uncharted 3 took everything that made Uncharted 2 good gameplay wise and made it better and more cinematic, but i prefer Uncharted 2, for some reason. I didn't care much for 1 and never played Golden Abyss(don't plan to, either).
Uncharted 3 without a doubt for me personally. It took the action, story and emotions to the next level. The Villains and the characters were so much better.
2 is the most wellround and balanced but the story (premise mostly) is the weakest of the three. The pacing is perfect and one of the best action games ever.
3 has the best premise but the story is incomplete because of scheduling issues with the cast members which is unfortunate but not an excuse. The gameplay is solid but the enemies are too strong and poorly placed. Best graphics and set peices.
1 is the best told story (execution) but weakest gameplay. It doesn't hold up as well because of the other two overshadowing it but at the time it was great.
I know I'm going to be in the minority here but I always thought 1 (Drake's Fortune) was the best. For some reason the story I enjoyed more than the other two, and the gameplay - while lacking in terms of polish compared to 2 & 3 - is still very enjoyable. I actually went back and played it a few weeks ago, I'm amazed at how well it's held up since it's release.
I liked 2 more as a whole package. 1 was awesome but lacked the multi-player 2 had. There were a few too many characters in 3 and I didn't like the multi-player as much in it either..
Uncharted 2 if for no other reason than it having vastly superior co-op modes. Me and my friends went back and played some Survival after we played UC3 a lot and it was just a much more intense experience. I actually think it looks better visually as well.
Although I think 1, 2, and 3 are all fine games. I haven't played Golden Abyss.
Uncharted 2 is a masterpiece this generation in gameplay and great story telling
Uncharted 3 is a mess. It's a good game, but the story was pretty lame with a lot of plot holes and there were some really questionable gameplay decisions (Broken stealth, fist fights over staying there welcome, difficulty that constantly jumbles back and forth.)
U2>U1>U3 The second was the best hands down. Overall i think it's a the second thats the most polished. Controls/gameplay was very smooth. Story and setting were pretty good. although i do believe the first game takes the cake in this category. The third one kinda let me down. Not saying it was a bad game but the controls felt sluggish to me and the fun factor wasnt there. It took me a while to finish this game mainly b/c it didnt hook me into it like the first two which i could put down after starting. I guess it's possible that the games formula was getting old. Probably explains why i havent bought golden abyss yet.
But UC3 could have been much better if the stealth missions worked as well as they did in UC2 (or the missions that were originally intended to be stealth, but were rushed unfinished to meet the release date.)
2 and 3 are just as good as each other, both deserve 10/10, but if I had to pick one it would be 2 just for the train level. I haven't played Golden Abyss.
