    A port it may be, but this game is strong enough to stand on its own two feet as an essential PS2 title. You owe it to your trusty PS2 to check this game out. [Apr 2008, p.66]

    Even on the PS2, Size Matters still plays just as well as its PSP counterpart. This solid game still remains just as solid.

    If you pair that up with the weak gameplay and the obvious graphics and controls downgrade, you will realize this PS2 port just can't be compared to its Ratchet & Clank PS2 predecessors or the stellar PS3 game, Tools of Destruction.

    Size Matters just doesn't hold up well on the PS2, and the things that made it a unique experience on the PSP don't quite cut it on the system that the series started on.

    Ok, first things first. Everybody rate this game so low, because this is not as good as the other Ratchet and Clank games, but listen, this game was originally made for PSP and PSP games are not as good as PS2 games. +: pretty long (for a PSP game), great difficulty, HUMOR, weapons, story, caracters, graphics (PSP), sound and music, multiplayer -: Graphics (PS2, cuz they didn't cahnge it that much).… Expand

    This is one hell of a disappointing game making it one of the worst in the series. First of all this is exactly the same thing as the PSP one so if you played that don't waste your time. The weapons are the center piece of this game, there's a huge variety some are great like the lacerators others are just plain bad like the concussion gun. Controls for this game is great especially when using ratchet the shooting mechanics are great the rest are very bad. Skyboard controls are soo frustratingly bad and giant clank is very unresponsive. Although gameplay is good, the camera really stinks and makes the game so frustrating that its very tempting to throw the controller. Single player is very short and multiplayer gets pretty repetitive after a while. The PS2 is old now when compared to the PS3 but the graphics in this game are very bad. Sound and music is similar, sometimes its so annoying that its better to play on mute. The game on the PSP wasn't perfect but that maybe due to the PSP itself, on the PS2 it just makes it worst by far.… Expand

    Though Size Matters still has some time consuming gameplay and variety of gadgets and weapons, it's just far too similar to the PSP version in all the wrong ways, such as its nearly hideous graphics, generic gameplay, and nothing but bland level design.… Expand

    I'm terrified. Just Terrified. What happened to this game? High Impact Games should have never crossed Ratchet and Clank way. Please, God, we want Insomniac back.… Expand
