Great game, only a few drawbacks.

After reading numerous reviews on this game I decided to purchase it. I was quite pleased with it. It is indeed a very fun and addictive game. Weapons are neat, I still haven't gotten the chicken morphing ray, but working on saving up money. Nice graphics, easy controls, easy to keep camera angle on you on those rare occasions it does stray. Interesting miniquest type battles keeps the action refreshing. You don't always play as ratchet&clank, you can be just either of the two just depending on the mission. There are also various parts in the mission where u will be required to fly a jet, man a turret, etc.
I really like this game, I'm not normally a fan of these type of games.

The Drawbacks: Instruction manaul: none. the only controls and what not are on the back of a poster included in the game. And some of the controls and buttons on there aren't even accurate. But don't worry, there is an in-game info that occurs whenever you recieve a new weapon/gadget.

Another drawback is that there are some invisible walls. This game implements some exploration factors, and it's really frustrating to be trying to jump to the other side just to find it to be impossible, leaving you to die in the pit of mud...or whatever that stuff is. On a good note: no lives or whatever, I don't know if it's nothing new, but since I don't play these games too often, I really enjoyed non stop play.

game crazy

Is one of the best games I ever played!! every single level is different and unique in its own way. For some games you beat a level and boom its done with. But in this game your going back and forth in between level and different paths. the graphics are amazing through there are some glitches. The bigest problem is that you press a certian butten(triangle)to switch weapons but it doesnt pause the game so you enemies are still running around trying to kill you while your switching out weapons! Also the weapons are cool but most of them stink. overall I would give it a four and a half because of the weapon thing. I recomend you buy this game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is the best game ever!!!

My 6 year old has player this for 2 years. When we first got it for Christmas 2 years ago we spent the whole holidays playing this game. The whole family was into it. We are still hooked on it. We have the whole Ratchet series and have beat all of them, and are still wanting more!

Extremely Entertaining

Now, Insomniac Games, the creators or Spyro, throw out the cute dragon platformer and make this superb action/adventure game. Featuring 15 devastating weapons and 14 useful gadgets, Ratchet and Clank is a game epic adventure unlike any other. Well... there are some moments featuring something Jak and Daxter but... doesn' t matter. You will traver around 18 huge free-roaming planets and Space Stations, battling bosses, robots and aliens, in order to save the galaxy from the evil Chairman Drek. You won' t be dissapointed, this game is perfect.

Close to platforming nirvanna.

I'm a purist. I am hard pressed to believe that taking the platforming genre and moving it into a 3D environment is a good idea. However, I well and thoroughly enjoy this game.

Ratchet and Clank, IIRC, shares a game engine with Jak & Daxter, but I find R&C far more enjoyable. This is in part due to the multitude of weapons available, some with strange and arcane effects (like the suck cannon which sucks in enemies which you can fire out later, or the morph gun which turns enemies into chickens).

It's also in part due to the clever level design. There are usually a couple of ways to get to a certain area, and I never found any area exceedingly difficult to clear (not that it was easy, mind). The only complaint I have is that there are often "tracks" through a level which can be very obvious and sort of break the mood.

The graphics are great. The style fits the mood of the game perfectly, everything is generally very crisply rendered, and I can only recall one or two times where the framerate really chugged. And that was in a heated battle using a gun with lots of special effects on a horde of enemies.

The reason this title doesn't get four stars overall is because there isn't a whole lot of mission variety, and that can get annoying after a couple of hours of game time. Still, it's an awfully fun platformer which is executed very well.

Fun, fun, fun, fun, fun!

So much fun! Insomniac scored enough with the Spyro series, but now here comes this (...) gun-blazing, fun free-roam adventure! I haven't gotten to the end yet, but I've played enough to know that this game rocks! 5 out of 5 stars definitly!

the most fun you can have with your PS2

This is a absolute must have for any action gamer. This isn't just a game for young kids, adults will have just as much fun playing as kids will. It is set in a number of futuristic planets that you will have to battle across in search of the horrendous villain "Chairman Drek." It is absolutely the most fun I have ever had in my gaming career, which includes medal of honor, gran turismo, jak 2, ssx3 and countless other stellar titles. Throughout the game you will collect nuts and bolts and use them to purchase gadgets such as the mapomatic which lets you explore uncharted territory, magnetic boots, which lets you walk upside down on ceilings etc, thruster pack, which allows you to make extra high jumps and on, this game also has very imaginative weapons that you buy with bolts as well. Amazingly, you will find yourself using them extra strategically, such as the following, blaster, which is the basic gun, pyrocitor, which is the flame thrower for close range, hoverbombs, missiles, shock gun and on, I don't want to ruin it for any of you by going to in depth. The game has a medium difficulty level, but there are also a few very hard parts of the game such as escaping the flooding rooms and of course the final boss, but you will be grinning the whole way through. Please go out and buy this game, (and it's sequal which is just as good as this one) I am begging you. You won't find a game that is more action packed and more importantly more fun. And that is what it all comes down to, fun

Best Game Ever!

This game is so cool!! Lots of weapons and gadgets and tons of enemies to destroy. Many planet with tons of missons. Also there are secret areas and great bosses. Not only do you get to fight,there is also space combat and racing. This game is the best!

Great Game

This has to be one of the best platformers that I've played in quite awhile. I never knew that I would be able to enjoy a game in the Platform genre again ever since I played a few back on the days of the Nintendo and Super Nintendo. This game is a must for anyone who is willing to try out a game that is filled with a lot of action and wanting to spend a lot of time blowing ***** up.

My kids (5 & 8) still play this.

We got this game December of 2002 and my boys managed to beat the entire game and open all of the secrets with some help from me. To this day they still get the game out and play on occassion. We have Going Commando and they still have not beat that game. They like to go back to this version and work their way back through it just for fun. At this price it's a bargin.
