Very entertaining...worth the money!!
This is my first PSP game...and enjoying every bit of it. The graphics are amazing and strategies are pretty cool. I still have a lot to cover, just on the 3rd planet and getting thru with the cool skyboard races..!!

Nice but tiring.
I love the rachet stuff, and the graphics is very impressive for a handheld. However the game is tiring the hands quickly. The psp is just not very good at this.

good but not great
I would like to give this 3 and a half stars but can't.
OK, let's start with the good...
Fun to play, good graphics, and gives you a chuckle now and then.
Now the Bad...
Hard to strafe while shooting, slow to build up health meters/gun power, button combinations are tricky.

This is typical R&C. it's fun on a scaled down form for the PSP. The levels are good and pretty challenging but there are a few rough spots. In a later level you have to make a jump over a moving obstacle then wall grab and jump to the next platform. This would be a challenge on the PS2 but on a small scale PSP it's down right hard! Also, from time to time you might get hit by and enemy that is off screen but luckily this situation is one of only a few problems and it is a great game to have in your PSP collection. If you like R&C then you won't be disappointed.

My first Ratchet game (sorta)
So before I left for Iraq a month ago, my roommate bought a PS3. Along with it he picked up Tools of Destruction along with some other games. I loved watching him play the game. And it was so fun to watch him upgade new weapons and buy new weapons and find new armor. After he beat it, there was even MORE to do now. And I loved it! So I tried the game for maybe an hour from the beginning. Sadly it was the night before I left to come to the sandbox. Because I was HOOKED.

Really wanting to play the game now, I started to look on amazon to see if there was a Ratchet game for the PSP. YES! There was! So, now, I had to buy a PSP also. I went ahead and bought thePSP Daxter Entertainment Pack - Ice Silver and a few games, Burnout, Infected, and of course SIZE MATTERS!!

When the PSP came in (which was only about a week), it arrived with Burnout. I was loving it! Then two days later Ratchet shows up and I couldnt put it down for about a week straight (even though I beat it in about 7 or 8 playing hours...and I was taking my time looking for stuff and completing all the mini games). Right now a friend of mine wont let me play the game because he's basically stolen it and now he's addicted.

I ABSOLUTELY love this game.

PROS:

-The graphics are amazing for such a tiny machine.
-The gameplay is highly addictive (especially if you've never played a Ratchet game before)
-I was scared that the upgrading of weapons would be only in the console versions, but nope..its' here also. LOTS of weapons also.
-Controls are great. I actually switched them around to where the analog stick was mainly for strafing. Also I never really had camera problems. Just use the L and R shoulder buttons and everything will be ok...just like older PSP FPS games.
-Once beaten, you can play it over in Challenge mode to upgrade your weapons even farther, find new armor, and get a new weapons (for 9,999,000 bolts..heh).

Cons:

-To easy. I think I could flown through the game in a couple of hours if I had really wanted to. In Challenge mode, it's still easy, but the bosses seem a LITTLE bit harder.

-The game freezes up...BUT..it's only happend 3 times. Twice on the same boss.


All in all...I absolutely recommend this game if you have a PSP. I'm still new to the PSP, but I can already tell that this is DEFINITELY one of the top games for this system. Do yourself a favor and buy this game.

It could have been better
I played this after i played daxter. The area where this game could have improved is in its clarity. The colors look a little bland and not as vibrant as daxter. It takes a little getting used to with the jumps, especially the long jump that for some reason doesnt always work. In terms of value the game is pretty fun and will take a while to beat.
