Disappointment

How Sony would allow their name to be attached to this game and sully the reputation of the Ratchet and Clank series is beyond me. This game is just plain bad. Being a port from the PSP is no excuse for them to let something like this get released. If you ignore my warning and get this game on the precious merits of the rest of the Ratchet and Clank series, you will be sorely disappointed.

Terrible port.

This port of the original PSP game is incredibly disappointing. It's not so much that Size Matters is a bad installment in the series; on the PSP it's a superior product to be sure. But this port is awful. It's filled with slowdown, the graphics are terrible and the camera is broken. There's some enjoyment to be had but certainly not for $30. I can't even recommend it to fans of the series. Either grab the PSP version or wait to pick it up in the bargain bin of your local game store.

See what happens when you have a lobotomy!

We have all R&C's (PS2), enjoyed each new release. Played R&C: Future(PS3) at daughter's house; it is a great game. We were eagerly awaiting the release of R&C: Size Matters.

We got it today..... What a total and utter JOKE! R&C: Size Matters........but apparently quality doesn't!

Played 20-30 minutes tops - couldn't take it any more! This is the jerkiest; most non-responsive piece of garbage we have ever seen! Even the PS2 - doesn't like it! We have more sound coming from the PS2's struggle to process this garbage, than in the game itself! Did some high mucky muck have a lobotomy before coming up with this idea?

The only good thing I could possibly say about this game is "We are returning it Tomorrow!"

Do Not Buy This Game!!!!!!

I own all of the Ratchet and Clank games and this game is worst game of the series. When they transfered this game from the PSP to the PS2 the failed to workout the camera angles on the game. The camera angles are so bad this game is almost unplayable. Save your money and just play one of your older Rachet Clank games again.

This game is an insult to Ratchet and Clank lovers!

This game may have been fine on the PSP (though I doubt it), but this port to the Playstation 2 is terrible. The visuals are worse than those on the Playstation 1, the game is glitchy, the camera is blatently out to get you and the controls are annoying. The game does keep up the tradition of entertaining weaponry and a neat story that is at the heart of the Ratchet and Clank franchise, but has no other redeeming values. As a fan of all of the games (including the newest for the PS3) I was sorely disappointed by this offering. It should be avoided.

HUGE Ratchet & Clank fan, but this one BLEW!!!

I've played every Ratchet and Clank game completely through and I love them. I don't know what happened on this one, but they really dropped the ball. The only thing I can consider is that they made it for the portable first and then made it into a PS2 game as an afterthought.

What a mess. The controls are different. You can't fire with one of the L1/L2 or R1/R2 buttons, which you could do with the rest. makes moving and shooting almost impossible to do smoothly. The camera angles are horrible. There are many times that you can't look somewhere unless in gunsite mode and I can't tell a difference between 1st and 3d person angles. The weapons stink. REALLY STINK!! The upgrades are not that big of an improvement, either. The mini-games and Clank games are simple-minded and horrible.

I hate to see them put up a %25 effort for such a great platform that's had such wonderful games in the past. I couldn't make myself play more than a few hours. I tried to give it a chance, but it just got worse. I'm selling it at Gamestop tomorrow.

I hope that the next time that they make a Ratchet and Clank they put the time and effort into it. I guess I finally have to buy a PS3.

Don't buy this game

I love this series and was looking forward to playing this game on my PS3. I should have heeded the reviews and stayed away. If it's not made for that specific gaming system, stay away. The manufacturers were only out to make a buck...

i have to say, this game sux. i was realy pumped going home from game stop with this game in my hands, but 15 minutes of play time was to much. I had to stop. i just couldnt take it. it was just terrible. Its not even made by the same team. all the other games were made by insomniac and this one is made by high impact games witch i have never herd of. if ur a fan of the series like me or just getting into do not by this game. u will be utterly dissapointed =(

WHAT A BUMMER !

I've been buying Ratchet and Clank games for years and I don't think twice about picking up the new one when it comes out which is what I did with this one! I can't believe how lame and boring this one is! This game is like a Playstation 1 (or a PS1) game pawned off as a PS2 game! I can't recommend it at all ! It in NO way compares to the others -- even the first Ratchet and Clank which is a bit shaky but still good. This one is like an afterthought after releasing the PS3 Ratchet and Clank. The only way I'd recommend it is if you found it in the bargain rack for $4.99 -- Yes it's that bad ! Bummer ! Shame on the company that decided to release this piece of sh&t and attempt to rip the consumer off ! I don't care what kind of a fan you are for these games ! Trust me IT IS NOT worth it !

Not worthy of the series

We love Ratchet & Clank at our house. Since the Playstation 3 is way out of our budget right now, we were pretty excited to see a new R&C for the PS2, even if it was bumped up from the PSP. We ended up incredibly disappointed.

The controls are rather stiff, especially in comparison to all the other R&C games. The music and graphics are only average. The levels are nowhere near as large and complex as those in the previous games. You should also plan to spend the entire game right up in Ratchet's grill. The camera is SO close most of the time that you can't get a good view around yourself to see approaching enemies or even get a feel for how large an area you're standing on at any given time. We both actually found ourselves getting motion sickness while playing because of the crummy camera! Even the storyline is too silly - even for a cartoon sci-fi series.

I guess we should have checked first to see if Insomniac had been involved in the making of this game (it wasn't). Even knowing it was originally a PSP game, we at least thought it would measure up to the level of the very first R&C... What a let down!!!
