I think everybody who has heard of Uncharted know that each game has a highly acclaimed single-player story (Uncharted 2's was the best, in my opinion), to the point that nobody really talks about the multiplayer.
Uncharted 3, the most recent entry in the franchise, has an extremely fun online multiplayer that takes some of the cinematic sequences in the single-player and implements them in the multiplayer. The Chateau multiplayer map, for example, has a room where the floor and ceiling will fall, killing any players caught in the debris.
In the multiplayer, you can choose for six different rifles and four different pistols. Weapon customization is much simpler here than it is in Call of Duty and Battlefield. Whether you take this as a bad thing because it's "watered down" or a good thing because it's easier to pick up and play, Uncharted 3 presents a nice loadout system with decent weapon customization, boosters (similar to Call of Duty's perks), and kickbacks (similar to Call of Duty's killstreaks, but modified to help out newer players, too).
The game has many different modes, including your standard Team Deathmatch, Free For All, Objectives, and Capture The Flag modes (though here, CTF involves a heavy golden idol instead of a flag and it works like Halo CTF), but the most impressive modes are the most unique ones: Elimination and Three Team Deathmatch, by far my two favorite modes in the game.
Elimination has five rounds, each three minutes long, where you have to kill everyone on the opposing team. There are no respawns. The team with more alive players by the end of the round win the round. To win, you have to win three out of the five rounds. The final 30 seconds of each round reveals the location of every player, to prevent camping.
Three Team Deathmatch is a 2v2v2 deathmatch mode. I haven't ever heard of a mode like this being done in a multiplayer game, but it's an extremely exciting, competitive, and above all fun, mode. Be sure to get a friend in your party and then enter the 3TDM matchmaking, it's more fun that way.
Released with some issues, Uncharted 3's main bugs and problems have been fixed since and while not perfect, it is a very fun game for third-person shooter fans everywhere. If you have a PS 3, it's a must-buy. If you don't have a PS 3, buy one to buy this game.
An incredible single-player experience with a surprisingly great online multiplayer.
