Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters

Published: Wed 13 Jun, 2007 | On:

Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters has most of the basic gameplay elements from the other Ratchet and Clank games. The weapons are similar from previous games in the series except for the Up your Arsonal. Weapons can gain experience, and mods that are similar to the ones in Gladiator can be purchased for weapons. 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 sets of armor, including the two secret sets in "challenge mode". While Ratchet can mix and match any of the four parts (helmet, body armor, gloves and boots) between any of the sets of armor, collecting and wearing each piece of armor in a set gives Ratchet an additional advantage; for example, using the full Wildfire suit, Ratchet's wrench will set his enemies on fire for additional damage including the additional feature of 28% less damage taken.

Mini-games include skyboard races, demolition matches with clank vehicles, a basketball-like robot throwingcompetition, and a robot control game very much like in concept to Lemmings.

The plot is While on a vacation in Pokitaru, Ratchet and Clank meet a little girl named Luna, who's writing a school report on heroes. Shortly after meeting Luna she is kidnapped by mysterious robots. Clank then stumbles upon a mysterious technomite artifact from an ancient race. Ratchet and Clank then set out to save Luna. In the process, they discover a forgotten race of smart, but diminutive, inventors known as the Technomites.

I enjoyed playing this game, but I think it isnt the best Ratchet and Clank game compared to the PS2 versions (because of the UMD capacity i think). I finished Size matters in less than a week, the bosses are pretty easy but the last level is hard trying to defeat the boss of the Technomites.

Overall, this game will defently be a great game to keep, even after you have completed it, 5 times
