They made Ratchet & Clank 2 and 3 in about a year each. Imagine if they had another year for each game. They would be absolute master pieces.

[mglfjgklfdjflkjglkfd]

I know this is a controversial opinion but this was my fav one of the original trilogy.

It's challenge mode since the enemies get harder each time you do a new one. (If I am correct.) Plus you can level your guns further up, which is pretty sweet if you ask me.

I've played through the game at least 20 times. But I was so young to have the mind to for guessing other languages so at least 10 of those were in Spanish for my..uh..8 year old self? It all happened when I changed it accidentally to Spanish from English (neither being a mother language, but at that point I could speak English as much as a native due to games like Spyro and Ratchet). I swear to god at one point I was probably even fluent enough in Spanish to speak it a bit due to the hours of story I listened to in Spanish, but I unfortunately forgot it later on. lol

Why are you so insistent on referring to the robots as its?

[glypharte]

This game was literally my childhood ! I used to play the living crap out of this game all day everyday when I was a kid.In fact, I was getting so good at it that I was speedrunning it in a few hours and I was scared shitless by the second mission. Nostalgia

[Flowerz__]

I love this game. Reminds me of hanging out at my dads apartment as a kid.

Finally got around the watching your Ratchet & Clan reviews. Have you thought about playing Deadlocked and the Future games. Those are top of the line games and I'd love to see your reviews.

You videos are great and I can tell you've put more love into each one as you went on. Keep up the amazing work.

"So Ratchet, my daughter says you're pretty good with your hands."
Ratchet: "Sir, I swear, I never -- !"

[Azordazor]

Metropolis was hard af back when I was kid :D I replayed trilogy year a go and it wasn't hard as I remembered

[namesomega]

Even for a game that came out in 2004, the graphics are still great for what the ps2 was capable at that time. Damn I miss my childhood!

[tommikoskinen]

My favourite of The series. Such a big Part of My childhood. So nostalgic

[M-A]

I just realized clank says “dung beaver” and I’m losing it

[TheFurryInShambles]

Great review, but just waiting for that PS2 ultimate review from ColorShed...

[zoni]

Do Deadlocked, Size Matters, ToD, whatever. I have actually been playing this game since 2007, every game except for Going Mobile and Secret Agent Clank

[TitusKingdom]

I'm waiting for them to port this over to PS4. I would love an HD remaster but I just want to play this again

[NeonFlare]

Doctor Nafarious is back in the new R&C game on PS5 :D

[ZetaMAGES]

I play only the multiplayer mode... evidently in practice mode... and I never knew the joke in the title because I was too young.

[RemyLanslots]

Ratchet: Deadlocked / Ratchet: Gladiator next, please? ;)

[zanemoss]

Ratchet and clank 3 wasn't censored in Oceana regions aka nz Aus I dunno about other country's

[gamingdefined]
