    For the last two titles, the developers of Ratchet & Clank have done a wonderful job building full-featured multiplayer support into their games. Size Matters is arguably the best attempt to date. Although it only supports four players at a time, the maps and modes are meticulously built to wring the most out of multiplayer matches.

    Visually, the game is excellent - and sometimes astounding. Ratchet's fluid animation must be seen to be believed, and there are moments (Clank's aerial levels come to mind) where the range of colors and particle effects will blow you away.

    Stages are smaller and battles are often less intense but Size Matters makes up for the shortfall in calibre with a visual imagination that, for the first time, makes a Ratchet & Clank games feel like an actual adventure instead of a sequence of shootout-corridors threaded along a necklace of planets.

    I have played R&C since the first one, I have played almost every game and of all of them they are enjoyable games for the most part,,, but this one was a real disappointment, and it just starts to resemble the limitations of the PSP system. The first problem is that some of the weaponry design is poor, an example would be a standard blaster that, when upgraded, turns into duel wield blasters, upgrade it again, and you get 2 double blasters on each hand this gun is also pretty weak in that sense, there is also a gun that shoots a laser beam but it has poor design in the sense of the amount of polygons (detail on the gun model). The second issue is the plot, it's just terrible, it's about microscopic creatures trying to take over the world, and the enemies lack character Dr. nefarious, Captain Quark, (from the first and second game) and hell, Drek even were pretty good enemies, some may say I just praise them because of their comic relief, but if they made a great evil bad guy or a comical bad guy, I would be fine with either, but this villain, Otto, he seems to be half and half and you rarely see him. Overall this is basically ratchet and clank, shrunk to the PSP size, with some flaws thrown in (in my opinion the series hardly had any flaws at this point because each game they made added improvement) Don't have high hopes for AAA brand games being made or ported to the PSP, (Battlefront, Jak, Call of Duty) and MANY MORE.… Expand
