Pros
- Awesome graphics and scenery
- Melee combat was improved
- No more sixaxis for grenade aiming!!
- Great blends with gameplay and cutscenes. This was a fantastic cinematic experience that puts MGS4 to shame.
- Great gameplay and good controls
- Good story and lovable characters
- Great sound effects, voice acting and the music was okay.
- Lots of great moments like the tank battle and train level.
- Stealth addition was nice. You got a choice to quietly take out a few enemies before going rambo or whatnot.
- Co-op is fun
Cons
- Guardians were stupid. They take so much damage, and you have no idea if you're hurting them or not. When I first encountered it, I used up a whole clip, and I wondered if I was doing the right thing or using the right weapon.
- Fighting multiple guardians. It was annoying that you had two guardians running around and one with a grenade just waiting for you. It was just plain annoying.
- Cover system was annoying, especially in tight areas.
- AI was kind of stupid, especially in the museum part. The stealth there felt very scripted.
- Puzzles were disappointing, and they practically give you the answer. I took a while to find a way to climb the statue, so I can move around his arms. When I got up there, a message appeared saying to match the arms position with the ones in my journal. Pretty stupid. The other puzzles had the similar thing.
- Boss battles, for the most part, sucked. The last boss was annoying, especially with the grenades. The train guy was so lame.
- I agree with twesterm about picking up weapons/ammo: sometimes when I wanted to pick up ammo, Drake would pick up a different weapon because it was lying right next to it. This stuff happened with multiple weapons throughout the whole game. It was frustrating.
- Multiplayer: Matchmaking was terrible. Sometimes it would take a while to find players. Also when I first played multiplayer, I got paired up with a bunch of people ranked in the 30s, 40s. WTF? Can't you pair me up with someone with the same level as me? And another thing, sometimes the teams would be unbalanced. You don't know how many times my team consisted of 1 - 17s, while the other team consisted of 23 - 40s. Terrible stuff there Naughty Dog.
- Penalty system = bad. If I got disconnected, I would still get penalized. There were many times where I wanted to quit because I got paired up with higher leveled players. Because of the poor matchmaking and penalty system, I quit playing Uncharted 2's multiplayer. It pretty ruined my enjoyment on the multiplayer.
The last parts of the game were extremely annoying, but overall I enjoyed the SP campaign. ND just needs to work on some of the online stuff. It's my favorite game this year, but 2009 kind of sucked for gaming, imo.
Score: 8.5

It's the bolded :p
Your reply reminded me of the things I disliked about U2, so I made a note of that. Didn't realize the wording ended up being similar to yours. I should've just quoted you and added a few things.
