this game is funny, fun, and there's no reason anyone who has a ps2 shouldn't get this game. tHe originla r&c rocked, the sequel was better, and the third is going to kick your arsenal so hard you'll have to get it amputated(in a good way).
The worst in the series, but still fun

Now, you all remember Spyro the Dragon. That one was fun. Then came the sequel and it was even better. Then the third and it was the best!!! Then, Insomniac Games created Ratchet & Clank. The first one was excellent, the second one was a bit toned down but still, great. Now, the third one is unquestionably, the worst one.
The graphics are nice, flawed, but nice. The characters were well done and the locations too. The weapons were cool and also the gadgets, vendors and just everythng. But it was flawed.
The sound is unbeleavable. James Arnold Taylor (JAT :P)is Ratchet and he does great as the role of the hero. David Kaye is Clank like in the other two but JAT was only in going commando then this :P. Now all of the voices were fantastic and so was the SFX and music.
The gameplay is flawed. The second one had armour that you were not ordered to buy and you could pass on with the game without byuing it. Now you HAVE to buy it in order to survive. Have an lower armour upgrade and the enemies will flatted you off in 2 seconds. Have the upgrade and the enemies will be dead easy. And that is just one of the problems.
Let me tell you something: This game is equally easy and short. I have already won it 10 times and boy it is just boring now. I have purchased everything, all gadgets all weapons all mega versions and I have about 20 million bolts right now and nothing to buy. Winning this game has became awfully easy. One of the few fun parts is the Courtney Gears boss fight. The music, the enemies, the location... never gets boring.
Now this must mean I do not recommend this game. Well, it is fun for the first 2 times you beat it, then it gets booooooooring. Rent it. You will probably beat it 5 times then, and then you have gotten enough. A rental only but if you must have a platformer, then maybe buy it. But I warned you, this game gets pretty dull...
Graphics
Characters: 9.5- Nice but flawed. Doesn't beat Jak 3
Animation: 10- Stunning and really good
Locations: 8.0- Equally bright and murky :P
Items/Weapons: 9.0- Looks nice but a little too creative...
Effects/Explosions: 5.0- Repeative, really repeative
Overall: 7.5- As I said before, nice but flawed.
Sound
Voices: 9.5- Ratchet, Courtney Gears and Q-Force are best
SFX: 7.0- Basic Ratchet stuff
Effects/Explosions: 4.5- A minus... too repeative
Music: 7.5- Crappy Metropolis Remix drags it down
Overall: 5.5- Could be much better. Flawed and repeative.
Gameplay
Ratchet: 6.5- Good but flawed... sigh... so many flaws
Clank: 4.0- Gadgebots and lousy weaponry drags it down
Quark: 7.5- Limited guns but fun retro makeover make Quark best
Overall: 4.5- Repeative and flawed.
Overall: 4.5- Nope, a rental, not a buy.
Should you buy it: No
Should you rent it: Yes
Should you avoid it: Yes
Should you try it out: Yes
Final scrore: Not good.
Go on, buy Jak 3 or something...
Great game dont stop playing

I bough the first two ratchet and clank games and now comes the third. I all started when I started to buy demo discs and got interested in ratchet and clank. These top sellers I bought both at forty dollars, but I recomend buying thisgame at fifty dollars.I hope this game doesn't sell out quickly.
More Like Stupid And Blank

I love the Ratchet and Clank series. I was waiting for the 3rd game to come out. It did. This game stinks! The weapons are totally stupid, the upgrades are dumb for them, the levels even stink! The only good part is that you sit back and get to listen to the good story parts more often. [...]
up your arsenal would suck without multiplayer

my brother got RAC for his birthday last year and i hated it.
we never got the second one. the only reason tis one is good because of online and multiplayer. without this it would suck up master chief, jak, samus, killzone and metal gear solid 3s balls.
Boring and difficult

Our whole family highly dislikes this game. We purchased it because of great reviews on Amazon, yet this game doesn't have enough save points and after 30 minutes we got tired of replaying the same paths over and over again, each time with less ammo.
