pro:
-somewat interesting story line
-new weapons
-customize free armor to use special ability
-permanet weapon upgrades (unlike deadlock which u can only hav a limited number of upgrade)
-fast loading time.
cons:
-poor multiplayer (wait alot for games 2 start, or maybe its becuz this game is new and not alot of people are playing multi yet, who knows?)
-fewer levels(9 i think)
-controlls both good and bad(its hard to get use to, but when u get it, its not a problem)

i have all 4(and now 5) ratchet and clank series. unlike Deadlock(which sucked), this game rocks! this game is like a mixed of best stuff from each game into one. i dont know if this happens to anyone else but i feel dizzy after playin 4 more than 20 mins (i play alot of other psp games but this never happens) its probably becuz of the size of the screen, too much going on such a small screen.

THIS GAME IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

-----------THIS IS A REVIEW FROM OVERLORD, UBER PSP AND DS GEEK-----------
I JUST BOUGHT THIS GAME AND IT IS AWESOME. THERE ARE TONS OF COOL WEAPONS (THE BEST ONE IS THE LASER TRACER. THE RYNO IS PROBABLY BETTER BUT IT IS REALLY EXPENSIVE) THE STORY IS GOOD, AND THE GRAPHICS ARE AMAZING. THE ONLY FLAWS OF THIS GAME IS THAT IT IS A LITTLE SHORT AND THAT THE SOUND IS A LITTLE BUGGY. HOWEVER, AFTER YOU BEAT THE GAME ONCE, YOU CAN PLAY CHALLENGE MODE. IF YOU WANT TO COLLECT ALL OF THE TITANIUM BOLTS IN THE GAME AND BUY ALL OF THE FULLY UPGRADED WEAPONS THAN YOU CAN EXPECT TO PLAY THIS GAME FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. GAMING MAGAZINES ALWAYS GIVE THIS GAME A 9 OR 10 OUT OF 10. THIS GAME DOESN'T DESERVE SCORES LIKE THAT. RATCHET & CLANK: SIZE MATTERS DESERVES AT LEAST A 17.

-----------------------------OVERLORD OUT!--------------------------------

Great Game.....

....but the only real flaw is the camera. Already in stage 1 i was doing a double jump & the camera for some reason has a life of its own & decides to do a 360 camera turn so if i had moved the directional pad in anyway, id be at the bottom of the mountain & dead. I give this game a 4.5, nothing is ever perfect. But the developers did a good job of taking a legendary series & creating something everyone can enjoy as oppose to Spyro & Crash who unfortunately did nothing but failed since their oweners left. I brought this game along with Daxter & there both great original titles. But to be honest i enjoyed Ratchet more then i did Daxter. This game has alot of things 2 do for such a little machine. Its truly great. Enjoy =)

Fantastic!

I've been a Ratchet & Clank fan since the beginning, and was going to pick Size Matters up regardless. Let's just say I'm glad I did!! This game sticks to the story, the humor, the characters and the fun of the franchise while remaining a brand new game! Best game out right now for the PSP! Camera can be a little weird at times, but much better than other games I've had. If you like platformers (or even if you don't) grab this game!!!

The graphics are top notch and on par with the PS2. Great effects and ultra smooth gameplay to boot. The numerous "minigames" add to the enjoyment as well, and break up any monotony of whacking away with your wrench.

I'd give this sucker 6 stars if I could!

Awesome adventure!

Ok, I'm a little bit older than the average PSP owner. Or at least, I'm guessing that I am. Considering that I'm over 30... (gasp)

That being said, this is my first Ratchet and Clank game and probably the first time I'm playing anything in the jumping puzzle solving genre. And I have to admit that this is a really great game.

Load times are super low. Compare this to Dungeon Siege and other games where you're waiting 30 seconds for the game to start.

The graphics are sharp and crisp. I was playing this in full sunlight and could make out the characters just fine.

The puzzles are hard but not impossible (so far). I love the mini-game puzzles. There's even one that is almost identical to Lemmings but done in the R&C format.

The music and sounds work quite well. There's no point where I wanted to turn the music off.

Overall, I'm hooked! I see a lot of sleepless nights coming.

The Size Matters...

I read some other reviews for this game about how it's too short and that the game play is better on the PS2 console; well this is a game that was made for a portable system. It is short but you need to play it at least 3 times to get all the weapons and it's still fun on the third time through. It has multi-player content so you can play that over and over again. Its controls are great for being on a portable system of course a full console would play better but, Size Matters...

One of the Top Games on the PSP

First, I want ot say that a lot of the games on the PSP are mediocre, games brought over from other systems, or just plain bad. This one is not.

Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters is a huge step forward in PSP games. It improves on graphics, music, gameplay, and replay value. All in all I would say it's in the top 5 best games on the PSP today.

Storyline- The story line is great. This is one thing the Ratchet and Clank series does well all of the time. This story is completly new and it compels you the whole way through. There's a lot of twists and turns in the plot and that's what makes it interesting. I think this game has the 2nd best story in the series besides Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal.

Gameplay- Size Matters is perfect for the PSP. High Impact did a great job overhauling the controls so you can play easily on the PSP. The game has fun weapons, flying missions, mini-games like a robot football game and destruction derby, many different types of enemies, plenty of different worlds, and much more. Size Matters isn't the repetitive shooter type game either. Along with wiping out your enemies, you solve puzzles, use gadgets to get through certain places, etc.

Graphics- Like I said in my intro, the graphics are amazing. I would say they are the best on the PSP. All the characters are detailed, smooth, and look great. The different worlds you go to each have their own theme and they all have great scenry, etc. Also, the colors in this game look so vibrant on your LCD screen. It's awsome.

Music- The music for this game matches each mood, world, etc. If your on an important mission like fighting a "boss", the music is fast paced and exciting. If your on a calm mission like the training session at the beginning of the game, the music is fun and quirky. The music is creative and fitting to the game.

Replay Value- The replay value on this game is great. You have to beat the normal game and challenge mode twice just to get all the armor and weapons. If you want to upgrade all of your weapon to the top level, you'll play for even longer. Plus, you can find all of the Titanium Bolts, skill points, ect. too. Even when you have all of that done, you'll still want to play the game over and over. It's that fun. Also, there is a great multiplayer mode too. You can get online and play against the world. There is just so much to do on this game, it's unbelievable.

The only complaint I have about this game is that when you play it for a while, a 1 or 2 second pause will occur. It doesn't affect you game, but it is rather annoying.

Other than that, I think this is the best game out there for the PSP.

Buy it and I promise you that you'll love it.

Unlimited Abilities

This game is amazing. It is the first game I got and it's just like ps2 Ratchets. You have the abilities to combine armor sets to have new abilities. You can add mods to your weapons (which there are 15) and fully upgrade them. Each weapon is totally unique from other weapons. Extraordinary game.

Great PSP game

This game is definitely one of the best games on psp. Even though it is under the platformer genre, it has many styles of games implemented into the game itself. It's worth the 40 bucks and if I had to buy it again I would. That's how good this game is. I've played MANY psp games (I have the blockbuster pass) and this one ranks very high in my book. The developers did an excellent job and actually took time on this game. What are you waiting for? Buy it now for yourself and everyone you know.

Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters..........

The Ratchet and Clank series achieved good success over its' four games on the PS2. So, it comes as no surprise that Sony brings it to the Playstion Portable. Just how does it stand up to the console editions?? Does it matter that it was developed by a different developer? Well, I'm going to answer those questions for you. First of all, it doesn't matter a bit that it was developed by a different developer. Which in this case was High Impact Games. If you were unaware that it was made by a different one, you wouldn't have figured it was made by anyone else other than Insomniac. Anything that Insomniac was able to achieve graphically and gameplaywise on the PS2, High Impact was able to achieve on the PSP. To me, that's pretty impressive. The designs of the levels, although abit smaller, are as excellent as they are on the PS2 and the story has so many twists and turns that you'll keep playing just to see how things end. Even the control, which relied so heavily on the second analog stick on the PS2, has been worked out to accompany the PSP without things feeling out of place. In my opinion, it holds up quite well to the console editions & is a worthy installment to the ongoing series. To sum it all up in one sentence, I'm amazed. Games like Size Matters is just what we need on the PSP.

Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters leaves me hopeful that Sony will bring its' other successful platformer, Sly Cooper(which is another one of my favorites), over to the PSP. Or, at the very least, continue this one on it.
