What's with the sidekicks getting games on the PSP? First Ratchet, now Clank. Although one shouldn't complain, Daxter made for a pretty good game.

@Kyle81: No. As far as I know, it's set before ToD, after Size Matters.

Since the Zony are in it, does it take place after R&C Future?

Fans wanted a Clank-only game? Damn you, fans! I admit, Daxter was a pretty great game without Jak, but Clank with no Ratchet? I'll at least give the little toaster a fair shake.

I didn't really like Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters, but I will definetly give this game a whirl.

Yes, the PSP graphics have gotten much better. On par, sometimes beyond the PS2, even some Wii games.

Where is my FFX port? :[

I preferred Daxter to Size Matters, mostly because it had more fluid platforming and the run and gun sections of Size Matters were kinda bland.

Still, it was a great game, and this is probably going to be a fantastic game as well.

The screenshots are gorgeous too. PSP can really pull of great graphics, it has really evolved so to speak since launch.

"And it supports what appears to be a new strategy for Insomniac/High Impact Games. Ratchet will push the technical boundaries through big explosions and epic landscapes on the PS3, while Clank will represent the PSP platform with a few less gallons of napalm and a touch more stealth. (Whether or not this platform distinction will continue beyond this title is uncertain. Though, we're guessing if Clank is successful in his solo career, he ain't rejoining the boy band.)"

um, as a long-time r&c fan, i'm guessing you're waaay off on this one...

Huh, I totally read "heavy pants" wrong the first time, and I'm kinda weirded out at some of the things crossed my mind. Nothing dirty. Just weird.

If I still had my PSP I would so buy this game, I love all R&C's.

Best platformer after Mario now.

@nabils6:

I reckon it's been getting great titles from the start. Sure, they didn't start arriving en masse till about the fourth quarter 2006, but it's got a solid library. A lot of naysayers seem intent on using the "no good games" argument like it's 2005 all over again.

I'd still challenge anyone to find a better portable racing experience than Ridge Racer. Pure launch gold.

Size Matters was good but the things I liked about it were too short. I loved the Clank mini-games. I loved the Clank space shooting.

The game itself was average, but I am strange I felt the same about Daxter. Everyone else seems to love both of them.

I loved Tools of Destruction, the only parts of the game I didn't like were the Clank parts, I hope to god this game isn't just one of those parts stretched to fill a full game.

@gamadaya: Or we could forget about Daxter altogether... Just sayin' >.>
As for this game, it's a pretty smart idea to keep it lower key for the PSP, rather than try to caricature what is being done much better on the PS3...
And who knows, I'm currently enjoying Splinter Cell (1, how many do I have left, 8?), maybe the spy premise will hold some weight.

Clank and Daxter should just team up. Clank would be the cool hero, and Daxter would be the irritating sidekick.

When I saw the picture of Clank dancing with the apparently female robot, I had visions of Casino Royale with Clank as bond.

I remember the code-From the worst part of a Ratchet game ever.
Seriously, I had to put the game down there, that Clank section was so bad (I had my little brother play that part, and I went back to the real game).

This game better be better than the Clank sections in ToD, or this game will be the worst game ever made.

If it's as good as Size Matters, then it will be fantastic.

Which side will the coin land on?

If anyone is still at the stage of *thinking* about getting a PSP, perhaps now is the time to act impulsively.
