   Amazing. PERIOD. People say its hard to finish these games today, unless you've played them before. NO. Besides the first game, the series hasAmazing. PERIOD. People say its hard to finish these games today, unless you've played them before. NO. Besides the first game, the series has aged extremely well. Even a newcomer will enjoy both games. As for separate scores, I will give the original an 8/10, the 3rd a perfect 10/10, and the 2nd an 11/10, and even thats not doing it justice!!!… Expand

   Me: "Aaaalright! what's in for me today :3 ?" *game shows up. "Those old fossils? ugh, fine."
   
   Well; that was a recording from a coupla'Me: "Aaaalright! what's in for me today :3 ?" *game shows up. "Those old fossils? ugh, fine."
   
   Well; that was a recording from a coupla' days ago. I wanted to review this game and it's been a while since.
   But i just didn't want to you know? It's kinda' complex... sort of. The game(s) were a big part of my childhood but as of today, i haven't touched them in a longer while than since i ate a kiwi fruit. Trust me, they aren't derricious.
   
   Huw-a-haagh! Alright; let's just get this the hell over with before i have to eat a kiwi instead!
   
   To start off with; the game is hella' lawng dawg! Three Ps2 classics in one! For less money than all the three ones combined! Quite smashing dontcha' think? Har, har, har!
   Anyways, the game is made by Insomaniac! Sorry wrong one, Insomniac! (i think) Which has made quite a couple of interesting gems lemme' tell ya' that.
   
   To begin with; the games take place in a galaxy full of tyranny and trouble and it's your job as an anthropomorphic-cat-dude who's only company is a tin can with limbs and a helicopter head. Yay.
   
   The game plays like a third-person-shooter, you can buy 'nades, guns, lasers, flamethrowers, hovering mines, transformation-to-duck-fetish-gun, and so on. You get ammo and money from crates or you can buy some good ol' mafia products in da' hood downtown that's currently overrun by gluttonous jabba the hutt-looking mothaf*ckas that split into smaller jabba the hutt-looking mothaf*ckas when hit (literally, not kidding).
   
   As i said; the game is basically a collection of three Ps2 classics: Ratchet And Clank 1, Ratchet And Clank 2, and then the third one because i'm too lazy to write all that one more time.
   Which then means that the game itself is very long, something i love with games these days. Most of em' are just way too short don't you think?
   
   Anyways, *takes a bite out of a kiwi. Not much needs to be said, just look up the things you are curious about! Lots of people will agree with me that this game is a present from god that lets us relive our childhoods with the old games we used to love. My Ps2 broke after many years of intense playing and, to be honest: that was a very sad day for me. I didn't realize it at first but my childhood would be practically gone without those games. Luckily, as we already know. Someone out there knew what to do. I gotta' say; why doesen't companies re-release their ancient old games/systems? I get that those things are outdated but come on, some were unreplacable! Like the Psp for an example; most of its games will never see the light of day again because... well, you know.
   
   Anyway, that rant sucked the absolute juice out of me...... and this kiwi.
   That's one of the reasons i didn't want to review this game to begin with. It's just too much for my short reviews.
   
   Well, here's the roundup:
   
   Pros:
   
   1) Soundtrack is awesome, fitting, and bad*ss at times.
   2) Gameplaywise, it's like an average tps game with some creative guns.... ecept the banana-gun thing that they came up in the third installment...
   3) Enemies are easy enough to beat but when they bunch up you'll have to get creative.
   4) The story is basic enough and is easy to understand.
   
   Cons:
   
   1) B*tches and glitches ladies and gentlemen!
   2) Not more Hd than the previous games. Shocking, i know.
   3) Annoying as f*ck enemies at points.
   4) Unexplained puzzles
   5) The ice levels. Don't even ask.
   
   To round this up i'm just gonna' say; nostalgia wasn't a part of this review. Not at all, in fact: i review games with the benefit of the doubt and in most cases; i ignore the nostalgia me and others have experienced playing these games. Which in those terms means that this game gets the score:
   
   "meh, but still good"… Expand
