Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters is the first time the Ratchet series has gone off the Playstation 2 and onto the PSP. But the game hasn’t really changed all that much. The series has always been a very action oriented platform with weapons and shooting. You get most of that same stuff on the PSP.
The game opens with Ratchet and Clank on a beach and this little girl wants them to act heroic so she can take pictures. The girl gets kidnapped and that is how their adventure starts.
Ratchet and Clank on the PSP looks incredibly similar to the PS2 version that is great because the PS2 version always looked unique and pleasant.
Unfortunately as always, it’s hard to translate a game to the PSP just because there are simply not enough buttons. You don’t have a right analog stick to control the camera and you’re forced to use two different schemes. One that always stays behind you and the other that rotates around slowly, both of these schemes has their flaws. You will get hit from the sides and the back more often than you should.
The weapons are the star of the show. You have a vast variety of guns and options of them. They’re all really cool and it’s just got a great variety of good and crazy weapons. Some are useful and some are not useful. Weapons can get experience and can be upgraded.
There is maybe 7 or 8 hours of straight through game play but if you take your time and play through all the mini games and quests and get weapons there will be quite a bit more game play.
The multiplayer mode is interesting but does not work as well as you would hope as a first person shooter.
This is a great game with okay controls, and if you’re looking for a quick action game this is a great game to check out.
