      Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception's online multiplayer is completely fun. With all of the awesome features and customization abilities available, this game is a blast. One of the features that makes the online portion of this game cool is the "Kickbacks", which in a way are much like the "Killstreaks" available in Call of Duty. The difference is in Uncharted you earn the strategic feature by collecting awards during matches.       One of the Kickbacks is called "RPG" and it pretty much says what it does. Once you have earned 10 medals in a game all you have to do is press the "Up" arrow and you will get to use an RPG. Use it wisely though, you only get one rocket.

     One of the many multiplayer "Kickbacks" available in Uncharted 3 is the "Speedy G" Kickback. This Kickback allows the user, once they have earned enough medals in the match, to move noticeably faster than normal. This Kickback can be activated once the player has earned 7 medals during the match and will last for 20 seconds. Check out this awesome feature in action in the Youtube video by user 'bitsofbacon'.

     One of the awesome multiplayer "Kickbacks" in Uncharted 3 is called the "Creepy Crawler" and it allows you to transform into a swarm of spiders. Check it out in the video below.      My first reaction to the spider related Kickback was something along the lines of, "How random!" I thought that the Creepy Crawler Kickback would have nothing to do with the game whatsoever, but believe me it does. Expect to see some "Creepy Crawlers" in Uncharted 3's story mode on numerous occasions.      This Kickback can be purchased when a user gets around rank 50, give or take a few ranks, in Drake's Deception's multiplayer. Good luck and have some fun out their with all things Uncharted.

          The developer at Naughty Dog sure know how to deliver a compelling story and have provided proof to back up my statement with the Uncharted series. Uncharted: Drake's Fortune was the first release and kicked off the franchise with an awesome story. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves followed delivering an even better story, more attractive graphics, and the online multiplayer and cooperative features. Now the third installment is here and is purely amazing.
