Advantages: Fast action, good for older kids.
Disadvantages: Moves away from the norm for these superheroes

This is an odd one this one, I must admit im normally into a different type of game but my 5 year old nephew came over the other day and he brought this game hired from Blockbuster. The game is similar to the other Ratchet games in very few ways this time its a fast moving shoot em up game mixed in with a little puzzle solving rather than a child orientated game that educates. The available modes are Single Player, Multiplayer (via online) or what ...
...and try to complete the levels together. New features include a new look Ratchet, fully customisable weapons and the fact that this time your competing in a reality game show called Dreadzone.

To the hardened gamer this will seem like quite an easy game (there are some ... Read review

Advantages: Alot of stuff to collect, upgrade and discover in 'challenge mode'
Disadvantages: Getting to the final boss is too quick.

...Introduction Ratchet and Clank, one of my favourite game series by Insomniac. After I had completed all of the four Ratchet and Clank games for Playstation 2 (inluding Ratchet : Gladiator) I heard that there was one coming out for the PSP. I couldnt wait. It was a VERY long wait, but when it got to 11th May 2007, I rushed to the shop and bought the 5th Ratchet game. All of my friends were jealous! Anyway, want to know more about the game? Read on... Gameplay - 9/10 The gameplay for Ratchet and Clank : Size Matters is amazing. Not too easy, but not too hard. It is very similar to the previous games of the Ratchet series, so if your a big fan of the Lombax and his buddy clank then I suggest that you get this game. There is ALOT to do in Size Matters, although the game itself may be a bit short (getting to the boss and whooping... Read review

Advantages: Gameplay, lifespan, Graphics
Disadvantages: Too easy, repetitive

...Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters has most of the basic gameplay elements from the other Ratchet and Clank games (Some on other formats) The weapons are similar from previous games in the series except for the Up your Arsonal. Weapons can gain experience, and mods that are similar to the ones in Gladiator can be purchased for weapons. Several locked doors require Ratchet to use a shrink ray and then complete a "grind lock" course, dodging mines on the rails and hitting switches with your wrench to safely pass through doors. Through the game, Ratchet will collect armor pieces for four different sets of armor, including the two secret sets in "challenge mode". While Ratchet can mix and match any of the four parts (helmet, body armor, gloves and boots) between any of the sets of armor, collecting and wearing each piece of armor in a set... Read review
