 Disappointing portMar 14, 2008
By N. Durham
"Big Evil"
Yes, we have another PSP to PS2 port on our hands with Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters. Sadly though, the usual enjoyment that often accompanies the games in Sony's series is pretty diluted here, as this port is quite disappointing in terms of its overall quality. First off, the game looks pretty bad, as nothing was done to enhance the original game's graphics engine. Seeing the game blown up on the big screen really displays the jerky animation and choppy frame rate, which can almost become distracting. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad if not for the jerky, wobbley camera. There are also an assortment of glitches in terms of the game's audio, graphics, and controls as well, but at its core, there is some fun to find that is buried underneath all the technical issues. Being a Ratchet & Clank game, Size Matters features a large assortment of worthwhile weapons that are a blast to use. There are some funny cut-scenes and dialogue as well to be found, but in the end, this port is just disappointing. It's still worth playing though for fans of the series that haven't played it on the PSP, but don't expect the game to match the series' usual quality.

 Terrible port.Mar 14, 2008
By Crono
This port of the original PSP game is incredibly disappointing. It's not so much that Size Matters is a bad installment in the series; on the PSP it's a superior product to be sure. But this port is awful. It's filled with slowdown, the graphics are terrible and the camera is broken. There's some enjoyment to be had but certainly not for $30. I can't even recommend it to fans of the series. Either grab the PSP version or wait to pick it up in the bargain bin of your local game store.

 Not worthy of the seriesMar 22, 2008

We love Ratchet & Clank at our house. Since the Playstation 3 is way out of our budget right now, we were pretty excited to see a new R&C for the PS2, even if it was bumped up from the PSP. We ended up incredibly disappointed.
The controls are rather stiff, especially in comparison to all the other R&C games. The music and graphics are only average. The levels are nowhere near as large and complex as those in the previous games. You should also plan to spend the entire game right up in Ratchet's grill. The camera is SO close most of the time that you can't get a good view around yourself to see approaching enemies or even get a feel for how large an area you're standing on at any given time. We both actually found ourselves getting motion sickness while playing because of the crummy camera! Even the storyline is too silly - even for a cartoon sci-fi series.
I guess we should have checked first to see if Insomniac had been involved in the making of this game (it wasn't). Even knowing it was originally a PSP game, we at least thought it would measure up to the level of the very first R&C... What a let down!!!

HUGE Ratchet & Clank fan, but this one BLEW!!!Jul 24, 2008
By John Cocktoeson

I've played every Ratchet and Clank game completely through and I love them. I don't know what happened on this one, but they really dropped the ball. The only thing I can consider is that they made it for the portable first and then made it into a PS2 game as an afterthought.
What a mess. The controls are different. You can't fire with one of the L1/L2 or R1/R2 buttons, which you could do with the rest. makes moving and shooting almost impossible to do smoothly. The camera angles are horrible. There are many times that you can't look somewhere unless in gunsite mode and I can't tell a difference between 1st and 3d person angles. The weapons stink. REALLY STINK!! The upgrades are not that big of an improvement, either. The mini-games and Clank games are simple-minded and horrible.
I hate to see them put up a %25 effort for such a great platform that's had such wonderful games in the past. I couldn't make myself play more than a few hours. I tried to give it a chance, but it just got worse. I'm selling it at Gamestop tomorrow.
I hope that the next time that they make a Ratchet and Clank they put the time and effort into it. I guess I finally have to buy a PS3.

Don't buy this gameJun 18, 2008

I love this series and was looking forward to playing this game on my PS3. I should have heeded the reviews and stayed away. If it's not made for that specific gaming system, stay away. The manufacturers were only out to make a buck...
