    This is not a really good game in my opinion. Very frustrating sometimes, a lot of problems with the controls and the camera, like the fact that your automated turrets and bots won't attack off-screen enemies, while those invisible bad guys continue to damage you.

The overall experience is not bad and the setting is visually stunning, but I can't give more than a 7 to a game which forces me to dick around for hours just to gather enough bolts (in-game currency) to buy an armor. For example, your average critter gives you 50-200 bolts - a thousand in the last levels - and you need a MILLION bolts for a top-notch armor... yeah, right. The story is forgettable, with some funny moments, and the soundtrack is quite good.… Expand

    , The game has gotten a lot more painful to play because in the original game even the starting pistol were still useful in the endgame but now it's completely useless in the end game, Is actually felt like work just to get through it But I had to do it to see if I had played all the way and clean games in the mainline series, I will never play this game again    … Expand

    while the gameplay is refined, some major aspects of the game were worsened. ratchet feels better to control, the weapons feel great and also mostly useful. progression feels meaningful and rewarding. yet towards the last third of the game, enemies spawn at a much higher rate, turn into bullet sponges, making the whole experience feel tedious and unfair. the boss battles are mostly lackingwhile the gameplay is refined, some major aspects of the game were worsened. ratchet feels better to control, the weapons feel great and also mostly useful. progression feels meaningful and rewarding. yet towards the last third of the game, enemies spawn at a much higher rate, turn into bullet sponges, making the whole experience feel tedious and unfair. the boss battles are mostly lacking too: either too long, too bulllet spongy or just not fun at all. in my opinion, this one is a step down from the first one, despite doing so many things right… Expand

    i remember this game fondly as a kid, but sadly it doesn't hold up that well. the controls are super clunky, and far more refined in the 3rd game as well as deadlocked.

    Solid platformer for PS2. Recommend this for anyone that has played Crash or Jak and Daxter!

    Once you start this one you'll have a hard time putting it down - I found myself playing longer just to see the next weapon upgrade I'd get - it's like Christmas all over again!

    I don’t think you have to be into platformer’s to enjoy this game which shows how much depth it offers - liked the first one? You’ll love the second!

    The controls, the learning curve, the difficulty, and the story all make this game possible to be enjoyed by gamers of almost any age without feeling overwhelmed or underwhelmed. I seriously can't say enough good things about this game.
