Pros
Pro Fun mix of tower defense and third person shooter
The majority of the multiplayer modes (of which there are three) are played out in your average third-person shooter fair. Team deathmatch and an attack and defend mode are those such modes. The third mode is more an interesting combination of third-person shooting and tower-defense. In this mode, you (and up to three friends) are tasked with building and protecting a garden from ever increasing hordes of zombies.
Pro Has local multiplayer splitscreen
PvZ:GW allows for splitscreen local multiplayer for those that wish to play at home with friends or family on one screen.
Pro Solid display as it plays at 1080p and 60fps
The game never stutters, there isn't any lag to speak of. This bodes well for a multiplayer title.

Pro Simple but useful crafting system
This game has a very simple crafting system where you collect scraps and combine them to make items. You can also craft weapons such as the Molotov cocktail and the nail bomb. Both weapons can take out most enemies instantly. It's quite refreshing to see such an accessible and useful crafting system.
Pro Comes with all of the DLC
The Last of Us was first released on PS3, and a lot of extra content was released later. The Last of Us Remastered comes with all of that content included. This will help you save some money on DLC purchases.
Cons
Con Limited splitscreen
Playing locally in splitscreen mode is limited to only one section of the game. The other two multiplayer modes available for online multiplayer do not work.
Con Minor graphical issues
You'll occasionally notice texture pop-ins and characters briefly disappearing. It's not really game-breaking, but could potentially ruin your immersion.
