I have to agree, and I'm happy to find someone else who liked the second one better hearing so many people say it's better than the 2nd is making me scratch my head.
I'm team Elena, but I am disappointed by the lack of Chloe too, she didn't have much to do with the story this time. I felt the story was too serious, one of my favorite things about the series was that it's light-hearted nature. Uncharted 2 had me laughing every minute, the dialogue was top-noth. There was only a handful of laughs in the 3rd game, their was too much of an emphasis on drama, and I felt the drama parts to be a bit predictable.
The gunplay in this game wasn't as good because the aiming was off, and you were forced to stay behind cover too often. One of the things I liked about the 2nd game was that I could run around like crazy and not die. In this game if you tried to do that you'd die because their was usually two snipers, two rocket launchers, and a couple of guys trying to sneak up on you with shotguns.
The puzzles in this game were almost non-existant. Their was only a few and most of them were obvious how to solve. The "oh crap" moments weren't as genuine this time around, because you could tell when they were going to happen. I felt the villains weren't too intersting, and I was disappointed when the final boss fight was just a quick time event.
It wasn't a bad game, but I'm pretty disappointed in it. I'm hoping that playing some local Co-op will make up for my disappointment in the single player.

I think Uncharted 3 is a great game, but Uncharted 2 is a much better game.I missed the two girls, the puzzles weren't as good or memorable as UC2, there wasn't as many jaw dropping moments, the villains lacked character development and so did the main characters such as Drake.
I ended up enjoying my 2nd playthrough, or random play throughs of various chapters, much more than my first time. I was just expecting something else of the game originally. UC3 is more about Nathan and Drake, while I still terribly missed Elena and Chloe [especially Chloe's ass], this game just wasn't really about them as much.
There are tons of epic moments in the game, it sounds odd, but I said "oh shit" a lot more the 2nd time I played chapters! Even though I knew what was going to happen, it was just more bad ass and awesome. haha, I think I was just disappointed in the lack of certain characters and character development. Those things I was disappointed in got me feeling negative to the whole game itself.
At one point I was saying the graphics sucked XD
I just got in a real unhappy, negative, and hateful attitude towards the game. But I started loving it once I gave it the chance.
I do love this game, I think UC2 might be better [perhaps because it was new and fresh, set extremely high standards], but UC3 is still an epic game.

I was, surprisingly, disappointed by Uncharted 3. Your comments on the gunplay are my main beef, though I also have extreme frustration with how unpolished the jumping mechanics were. There were frequent times during the first 10 chapters where Drake either wouldn't reach for a jump or would miss it for no apparent reason.
Still, nothing takes the cake like how ridiculous the AI is. There is literally no point in cover in this game because everyone bum rushes you. You might as well learn to stay alive and forget that you're playing a cover based shooter.
Still, story was excellent, music was superb and the graphics really sell the environments. I just wish the gameplay could have been polished. If anything, the ending is the best of the series. That's something.

Appreciate the comments, guys; good to know I'm not the only one who felt a little let down. I do think, as PlanetPanton pointed out, that part of it is simply because Uncharted 2 was such a new experience. Especially for me as 2 was the first one I played! :o)
I just received Uncharted 2 and 3 as a gift from my wonderful husband... so I'm just playing through 2 now.
I'm enjoying it... though still right near the beginning. I do find all the cutscenes a bit frustrating though and am never really sure when the game is done with a cutscene and playable again. It really is like "playing" a movie.
