I've always like ratchet and clank, sadly this is the only one i've had the chance to play from start to finish. But i can say with great confidence that this is a great portable version of R&C. In fact this is just a great portable game even without Isomniac behind it. Like all the games in the series you'll go through about a dozen differen't planets, shooting and smashing your way through various robot foes. And as always, collecting bolts to buy new weapons. And this is where the game has a few problems. I found that some of the weopns didn't work that well or just weren't very fun to use. The game is also pretty short at about 6-8 hours on your first playthrough. You can replay the game with all your stats and weapons from the first playthrough, and this option is nice though I probably wouldn't want to play through it again, given the So-so story and over linear focus of the levels.
Overall: This is a colorful, funny and breezy action/platformer that any fan of R&C should love. Even with some control/ camera issues.
