i love this game. the graphics are vibrant and easy on the eyes and the voices are good and most of the time quite funny. the story is the usual farce and the weapons are some of the coolest ever in a videogame.

but, after i beat this game, i felt a bit cheated. if this is the r&c finale, they blew their chance at going out with a big bang. i still can't help but feel that going commando was a much better game overall than this one.

first off, both games graphics are outstanding and the voices are the same, for all i could tell. second, the weapons in this game are the better of the two. the most powerful being the maxed out plasma cannon and the coolest being the rift ripper. the levels were much more creative and fun in the second game. but i did like the flying segments in up your arsenal more than the space battles in going commando. and the team battles alongside you npc buddies. the multiplayer is also well though out and a lot of fun. but this title didn't feel like a blowout of fun. it was more like a, beginning to a really good game. it was over before it got going. the qwark mini-games are cool, but there are only five and they are all short. the titanium bolts scattered throughout the game are a fun added bit to work on, but after that's done, there's not much else to do. sure, you could keep going through the game in challenge mode, but after all your weapons are maxed out, what the point?

anyway, this is a good game, but insomniac could have added a lot more to make this a really great game, one to rule them all. if they would just put the weapons and side-quests from this game into the levels of going commando, it would be a game for the ages. i just wish there was more to do when you beat the game, that's all.

but, overall, it's a great title definitely worth the cash. so go out and buy it or i'll have to turn you into an explosive-egg spitting duck from hell. wait, that's not a punishment...damn. oh well, buy the game regardless of what i say if you're looking for a weekend's worth of solid, fun gaming.

Great!

This is the 3rd installment of the Ratchet and Clank series. Now with better graphics, harder gameplay, more characters, and worlds. Some parts of the game are fall down gasping for air funny. Parents of young children may want to take some time to consider it though, there is some crude humour.

Fun, but could have been better

This game has some of the humor I love from this series. However, this game seems incomplete to me. The plot isn't as engaging and has no twists that came in the previous games. Also, some of the mini games I really enjoyed in the past aren't here any more. No grind boots, spaceship fights, the fighting arena isn't as cool as the one featured in Going Commando... The vid comics are interesting however. But overall, while this is a fun game, I thought it didn't shine as much as the others. Perhaps Insomniac games put too much time and effort into developing the multiplayer aspect of it. Even a number of the minigames seem to be similar to the multiplayer game levels...
I think a R&C with cooperative multiplayer would be much more fun.. being able to cruise through normal levels with a partner to back you up would be fantastic.
They did keep the challenge mode, so kudos for that and the ability to level up weapons multiple times keeps it interesting.

Insomniac Does It Again!

The first two games of the series were absolutely amazing! And from the looks of the previews, R&C3 will be another hit! With enhancements such as multiplayer, online support, intelligent AI, and 4 levels of weapon upgrades, look for this to be the most anticipated and addicting platformer of all time!

Incredible!

This game looks really sweet. New weapons, nitro launcher, infector, rift enducer, electro whip, and LOTS more! The levels are ones that Ratchet has seen in the first game except different areas. This game is gonna be the best of the series, so preorder it cus you wont want to miss out!
The release date is really November 9th.

Good, but could have been been better.

I've played the first two Ratchet&Clank games, the first was fantastic and the second was even better. This one is good but I expected a little more. I'm going to name all the good things and bad things in the game.

The good-
-Great gameplay, just like all the Ratchet&Clank games.
-Quark vid comics, a side scrolling mini game which is very fun.
-Two quick select rings.
-Mini battles which you can do.
-Better puzzles in my opinion.

The bad-
-Hoverbike races are completely gone.
-No more ship battles, instead you have to fight as some bulky hovercraft.
-Game is too short and too easy, especially for experienced R&C players.
-Medicore multiplayer,(copys unreal tournament) which gets really boring after a while.
-Guns do the same things but have different names, like the lancer is now the storm. There are a few new ones like the rift inducer.
-Feels too much like the second one, I expected a little bit more out of this game.

This game definitly good, I just think it could have been better. I would reccomend it, but maybe you should wait for the price to drop to $20 or $30.

Great Game!

This Game is my favorite game! I love the ability to upgrage weapons. I got this game and I couldn't stop playing it! I beat it three times, and it keeps getting better, because there are 99 chalenge modes, each is the same game, but it gets harder every time. I recommend this to anyone who owns a Playstation 2!

The Perfect 3D Platform Adventure

I honestly don't think it's ever been done better than Ratchet And Clank. Insomniac Games took all the best things about weapons-based adventuring and tweaked it until it was perfect. The controls are faultless, the menu is easy and smooth, the weapons are explosive and endlessly upgradable, the graphics are gorgeous and the characters and voice-acting are hilarious. This is a game in which the gameplay is always entertaining but the cutscenes are welcome, because the characters always have something interesting to say.

The game features all the original voice-actors that made the first and second games great, as well as some of my favorite actors from other media, Michael Bell of the Soul Reaver games and Armin Shimerman of Deep Space Nine fame, who plays the awesomely retro Dr. Nefarious. Captain Quark is also back, frustratingly enough. He's like the hero that won't go away. A neat plot twist involves a weird change of heart for Clank, in reaction to the robot upheaval against organic life, as well as possibly the best parody of pop music to be seen in a video game to date. Although Angela seems to have disappeared.

Also interesting are the side-scrolling Captain Quark games you complete in order to unravel parts of the plot. They're fun little forays into old-school that play a lot smoother than the platformers I remember.

This is an awesome trilogy, and I recommend it to anybody who likes platformers or third-person adventurers. It's a lovingly crafted game with tons of explody weapons, and my only complaint about the whole series is that the games aren't longer.

WOW! Online!

Well this game has alot in it, let's start with the Normal gamesplay. The game itself is fun, bam boom yeah! but in this one there were not any forms of racing games in it, like the other two. the weapons were awsome, its so fun to upgrade them, most weapons can upgrade up to 8 times yeah! although the game was to short. i beat it in 14 hours, as going comando took me 29 hours of gameplay. the armor in the game is not as cool as going commando, and some of the levels were alot like the first ratchet and clank. but i loved the game it was realy funny with the cut scenes, but what happend to Ratchet and Clanks Girls, o well. there is also a part in the game were you play as ratchet playing a video game. That mini game is very fun. the online is awsome (my name online is Blue rat) the siege part is so fun and i love the swingshot parts (you swing around like tarzan) and its fun to blow people up. every player is different and it realy changes the game! iloved it so Much and a hope Insomniac makes a new one for the PS3 when it come out next summer. Great game fun even after you beat it, the RY3NO weapon is awsome until you upgrade it the 5th time. anyway the game is a 4 out of 5

This game rules!
