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.
Jaw-droppingly gorgeous graphics, superb voice acting, great plot with more twists and turns than an Italian mountain range, both shooting and platform elements are masterfully presented
No multiplayer, may be too involving for a quick bus ride, new control methods are gimmicky but thankfully optional
Although there have been some corners cut from delivering an exact PS3 Uncharted-style experience, they’re barely noticeable. Not only is this PS Vita-only entry a worthy chapter in the franchise, it’s a fantastic flag bearer for the console itself. Un...

Abstract: Set before the first Uncharted game, but without being a true prequel, we join Drake as he works with Dante, a man of questionable morals. They are looking for treasure in old ruins allegedly belonging to the Kuna people (I wonder if they know that the Ku...
Great graphics, Best third person action adventure game on a handheld, Trophy hungry gamers have a lot to look out for, Production value to match a summer blockbuster, Well-paced gameplay between traversing, action and puzzles
Low replay value, Story gets a bit boring in the middle, Some touch controls can get frustrating, No multiplayer
Uncharted Golden Abyss is a fantastic game with production quality we have come to love from its console counterparts. The lifespan is about 10 hours and there is enough to keep you hooked throughout the journey apart from a few frustrating touch controls...
Abstract: The PlayStation Vita may not have the best software lineup on the planet but it does have a solid contender in the form of Uncharted: Golden Abyss. Like its console brethren, it’s Sony’s perfect first party launch vehicle to showcase not only the gra...
