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
For the most part
Stop-and-pop shooting sections can feel repetitive by the time the game is done.
Flaky AI
Some touch and motion controls detract from the fun
Dull narrative saps the drive from the characters and gameplay.
Abstract: Uncharted hero Nathan Drake’s first handheld adventure is the perfect game to introduce the world to Sony’s PlayStation Vita, a powerful new portable game system launching next Wednesday. It’s a showcase for virtually all of the device’s most alluring ...
Abstract: Games in the ‘Uncharted’ series are what you call Marquee Titles (with capitals!) It's the kind of successful series that platform holders hope will make you buy their flash new system when it first comes out, just because there’s a new Nathan Drake ad...
Striking, well-rendered environments, a ripping original score, engaging and easy-to-handle gameplay, some of the best banter in any video game this side of Tim Schafer.
Stretches itself out with barriers and alternate routes that add nothing to the game, doesn't feel particularly substantial, some of the character models are a bit rough, in-game touchpad and Sixaxis controls feel superfluous.

Uncharted The Golden Abyss is a fantastic game and can stand shoulder to shoulder with the best of the Uncharted series with ease. If you own a PS Vita, it almost goes without saying that this is an essential purchase, and if you’re the sort of player
Superb graphics, Good game lifespan, plenty of secrets to uncover, Touchscreen and gyroscope put to good use, even if not essential, Gameplay with two analogue sticks, Good soundtrack
Storyline and settings aren't particularly original, Use of some of the Vitaspecific controls is debatable, Some slowdowns, QTE prompts aren't particularly convincing
While Sony clearly hasn't taken too many risks with Uncharted Golden Abyss for the PlayStation Vita, it's still a great game. It boasts impressive graphics, good playability, and integrates the console's touchscreen controls and gyroscope. Plus, it has...
