Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters (PSP)

Size Matters turns out to be a somewhat ironic title for Ratchet & Clank’s first foray into the portable games market, as for large portions of the game, you’re made aware of what’s missing from the fully-fledged home console versions. And that’s not a criticism of the PSP. Indeed, Daxter has already proven that 3D platformers can be a real blast on the system. In retrospect, Size Matters’ biggest mistake is to try to emulate its PS2 predecessors too closely. It neither acknowledges the PSP’s strengths nor makes concessions to its smaller button selection, and a result, doesn’t feel ... more

Back in 2002, a game was created that has never really been seen before. The game combined the longevity and puzzle elements of a platformer, with the firepower of a shooter. Ratchet and clank was born, and the series of games since have never really deviated from the original blueprint. At the end of the day, if a thing isn't broke, then why fix it? So, our favourite (and only.) lombax, and robot duo are back, for one more outing. What exactly a lombax is, I dont know but the closest thing I could compare him to is a fox. Size matters, is the first time that the duo have ventured onto the ... more

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.

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 ... more

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 ... more

Ratchet and Clank on the ps2 was great fun and probably one of the best platformers i have ever played, amongst the league of crash bandicoot. I first was sceptical of playing the game on the PSP but thought i should give it a go. I soon found out the game is worth every penny and it definately is a lot of fun. However i did tend to get frustrated in certain parts of the game, but thats just a sign its truely testing and worth the effort. the graphics are suprisingly better than i thought it would be and probably beats a lot of the games i have played on the psp so far. the cutscenes have been ... more
