I find Uncharted Drake's Fortune and Uncharted 2 to be really different games to be honest. I don't claim to be a brilliant expert at playing them, but between the two I have around 20 completed playthroughs, including multiple Crushing runs. UDF is a lot like a lot of first games in a PS2 or PS3 trilogy. It's slower, less refined. A lot of people can't handle how dated it is now, but there is a charm about it I love. The tactics I use in both games on Crushing are quite different.
Uncharted 3 is more a tweak to Uncharted 2... it's the Ratchet 3 to Ratchet 2, the Jak 3 to Jak 2. Although I've always found U2 to be the better game overall, there are gameplay additions I've come to appreciate now playing on PS4. (U3 was always my least played Uncharted on PS3. I think I only finished it 3 times. Several less playthroughs than the other two)... KO's from above, and the ability to wipe entire phases of enemy out by stealth being the best. Yes, stealth is a part of U2, but not as much as U3. I'm not a big fan of the melee changes in U3 though, especially the brutes. They just seem a bit out of place to me.
Anyway, the story, the characters, the writing. U2 is by far the best. It's not even always the dialogue. Just the facial and body language in certain scenes... I never get bored of it. Uncharted 3 is like 3 stories rolled into one, linked by the greater goal and the antagonists. The location changes several times. Uncharted 2 showed you can change setting without needing to change the location (once they went to Nepal). Uncharted 3 throws you into this story with Cutter and Chloe, then just ditches them bringing back Elena, and then midway through that distracts you for several levels with the pirates (which just feels like filler before getting back to Elena and then Sully)
I'm kinda completely off topic about Uncharted 4, lol.. but I expect the game to be closer to Uncharted 3 than Uncharted 2 in style.. but with more Tomb Raider type exploration (if the original gameplay reveal is anything to go by) .. The big U3 setpieces will be there, and we know the vehicle levels will be in (they've been in since UDF, so no suprise)..
