(9.50/10.00) Picking up Ratchet and Clank:Size Matters for the PSP, I expected to have a great time playing a great new R & C adventure on my PSP…..that and having to recharge my battery a lot. Anyway, Size Matters tells the story of Ratchet and Clank, taking a break from their world-saving, only to be interrupted by Luna, a little girl who is “doing a report on heroes” and no, not the awesome TV show, and wants to follow Ratchet and Clank around to see them fight some robots! Pretty soon, Luna is kidnapped my the mysterious Technomites, Captain Quark is looking for his real parents, and it’s up to Ratchet and Clank to save her! Or is it? The cutscene graphics on this game are great, just as good as a PS2 game, and the in-game is almost as good. As always, there are a variety of weapons to choose from, from my Size Matters favorite, the Dual Lacerators (ouch), and the cool but impractical, Bee Mine Glove. Although some game critics said it didn’t sound as good as the PS2 installments, I thought it sounded fine. I also loved the easy-to-use weapon mod and armor system. My only minor complaint was that the camera can sometimes bug out, and it’s a little short. Overall, if you’re looking for a great platformer on the PSP, this is what you’ve been waiting for.
