This game is so bad
PostedDecember 25, 2008
I have played every other Ratchet and Clank game and loved them...I was a serious R&C fan. This game is just awful. The graphics are horrible, the controls lag, the weapons are lame, and Clanks voice sounds different. I was willing to give the game a try after reading negative reviews, but after the first air board race I wanted to pull my hair out. The board slide all around the screen and I would crash into nothing because the graphics are so bad the landscape just does not appear. Another thing that is awful are the cut scenes, they look worse then the actual game. It makes me sad that a series this good has such a bad game in it. Even if you are an avid fan of the series playing through this will be hard to stomach. Please, save yourself the money and do not get this game!

I am a gammer 24/7 and 80% of it are on ratchet and clank games. I'm disappointed with this game. For one thing its not made by insomniac games. the graphics you can tell are from PSP and are blocky. It does come with progressive scan and surround sound options but it doesn't make much of a difference. I have 100% all ratchet and clank games except this one. Not because its hard but because its boring and not worth it to do it. i got all platinum bolts and half skill points but I gave up because I got too bored. trust me but leave this game for the PSP . its not meant for Playstation 2. Another thing is that the game is too short. Its only 9 levels long. but the upgrading weapons is what takes all the time. Overall i would rate this game a 6. This rating is mostly on the fact that it gets boring unlike the other ratchet and clanks. Not enough action in it.

not good

You know that when I got this game I thought that it would be great but it is not the graphics suck and the story line is hard to follow. The game its self takes up a lot of space on your memory card and the way you do stuff is totally different from the past games. The weapons are hard to get and cost a lot of bolts. Beware you must have alot of patience because you have to go the long way and you will die alot I promise I have died probably 100 times per level. Not for someone that likes an easy way out the way you use the controller is different. Personally I expected more from the rachet and clank saga. They really dropped the ball on this one maybe next time will be better. Though will continue to play and/or buy the rachet and clank games would not recommend this game to my enemy.

Whiether to buy or not
PostedJune 11, 2008
I have not bought it yet and I was reading the other reviews to see if it might interest me because (note that I have all the Ratchet & Clank games and am a lover of the games) it is only rated for 10+ but the other reviews convinced me otherwise. I think that it will be a good challenge (Because everyone is saying it is VERY hard) and that the story will be good (as usually) but I think that the story will be somewhat disappointing... The controls will be (hopefully) like the recent games and the graphics will be amazing (based on the three pictures that they gave). The sound is usually very clear and understandable and high quality so I am betting this one is too. I found these other reviewers to be very helpful and honest. THANK YOU! If you don't have any of the other Ratchet and Clank games do not get this one-first. Please, it will not make any sense and you will NOT think it is funny. If you are taking into consideration of getting this game make sure you start with "Rachet & Clank" first then "Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando" then "Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal" and finally "Ratchet: Deadlocked". But be warned! The first is incredibly hard and the second is a very good challenge and the third is more of a relaxed fun where you don't have to worry about getting killed as you glance around a corner and the third you get to select the difficulty level. I still haven't beaten the first and the others I've beaten 3 times each and on the third 13 times! To give you an idea about how hard the 1st one is you only get 3 lives! And then 4 later on! On the 3rd and 4th you can get 100! But you start with 10.
