Ratchet and Clank Size Matters-GiftedGamer Review



Ratchet and Clank Size Matters Review


This game unlike the others in the series, is actually a ported PSP game which I played on the PS2.
The game begins with Ratchet tanning on the beach when some little technomite girl Luna comes up to him and pretends to be taking pictures of him for a school project. She fakes getting kidnapped and then you have to go find her and “help” her although when you end up finding her she just knocks out Ratchet and teleports Clank to another planet.


Fast forward to the main gameplay, this game is made up of many small mini games and short levels such as Dreamtime and the Shrink-into-Clank-brains level. There is also a lot of Hoverboard racing that you do to get bolts, armor and tools that are required for the game as in the Polaritizer and the Shrinkray. You can level all of your guns up and tools so that they transform for example the Mootator turns people into cows. If you level it up enough it turns into the ArMooGeden which turns people into bulls.

If you get certain sets of armor like the Crystal armor, you have a special ability, for example the Crystal Armor special ability is when you do a jump and hit the Square button, crystals spawn at where your wrench hit and blow up any enemies standing in it.

There are also 2 Clank arenas where you battle for bolts, necessary tools and armor. These games include a handball, controlling bots to get to the finish line and bumpercars.
There is also Giant Clank battle in space where you fly around and blow things up with your turrets.

For the last boss, three very important items I found were the Agents of Dread (evolved from the Agents of Doom) the killer bee hive (evolved from bee hive) and the static charger. You will need to damage the final boss’ bubble before you damage him. Once you get him to roughly half, you can start damaging him directly without worrying about the bubble. The bubble will respawn if you damage him and wait long enough before he gets to half HP. Before this you also fight him again as Giant Clank, although that one is fairly simple and I just shot him a few times and hit him with a triple square repetitively.

This game cannot compare to other Ratchet and Clank PS2 games but it was good for what it was. Overall I give this game a 6.5
