The editors didn't like
Constant busywork interludes that seem designed to show off the Vita's control options
Touchscreen controls that feel shoehorned in

Dull narrative saps the drive from the characters and gameplay.
Abstract: Look past the big name and beloved action hero, Uncharted: Golden Abyss is your typical launch game. It's a safe franchise that everybody loves and shoehorns in all of the gimmicky functionality the system has to offer. It's not disappointing, but al...
Abstract: As one who thought Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception ended two or three chapters too early (not to mention with too many loose ends), I'm glad to get back into another Nathan Drake adventure a mere four months after the last PlayStation 3 outing. Moreover, w...

Can Golden Abyss live up to the series' excellent pedigree, or is this one adventure too far for Nathan Drake? Mark Walton finds out in this video review....
