    I've been playing video games for 20 years & UYA is the best game I've ever played period. 1 & 2 were awesome also. Actually going backwards 3, 2, 1 is the order of my favorite games ever.

    This game is awesome! I am much more of a shooter fan than a platformer, but this game has the best of both and really won me over!

This game really is a cartoon-style Halo! (And that is the highest praise I can give to a game of this type!) Bottom line-- BUY THIS GAME-- YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!… Expand

    I had the pleasure to play a beta version of this game in the Insomniac Offices and it simply rules. I cannot wait to get my hands on this one. Best $40 you are going to spend this year.

    This is a brilliant game. You can't go wrong. Very much overlooked with all these other games coming out around the same time (San Andreas, Half-Life 2) but I played this the most. Shame it's too easy and especially those platinum bolts are often in plain sight. Insomniac must think of their fans and not 10-year olds who also wan to get all platinum bolts.

    This is the most purely fun game ever made, hands down. The person who wrote that it doesn't deserve above a 9 because it's a platformer has no idea of how good the game is. It's a genre-bending action game with platforming elements, but most importantly it's fun, deep, and has interesting characters. In my opinion, GTA doesn't deserve the high scores it gets and This is the most purely fun game ever made, hands down.

In my opinion, GTA doesn't deserve the high scores it gets and I'm very skeptical about those magazines that give those games 9s or 10s in graphics... or any other department really. And he shouldn't down on OPM, they write excellent reviews. This game is a 10, because it is without flaw. So stop complaining about the game being a "platformer" like that's a 4 letter word and just play it.… Expand

    Greatest game ever. I got an early copy because I work at a video game store, and I played it non-stop for 15 hours. It is the greatest game ever.

    Awesome. its a sweet game with BEAUTIFUL graphics, WAY better than going commando or the original. (i have beaten both). The only problem is its too short. it can be kicked in about 15 hours, but Challenge mode is Better than the regular game.

    I rarely give a ten score but for shear gameplay and fun its fantastic. Now with multi-player and online play its the best action-adventure yet. What you waiting for its 15quid new now, a rare classic.

    The flying, trophies, and new vehicles in the third game blow all other games in the universe so hard, it hurts all their great great grandmas! anyways, i still have an all over feeling that the fourth is gonna be better in some impossible way... dont know why, but i do.

    If you were hooked up to a lie detector and said Going Commando was pretty good, it would blow up. 10 without a question.

    I had to choose between a p or 10, and I went for 10. The best Ratchet and Clank out there, closely followed by it's first PS2 brother.

    An awesome single player experience and deep multi-player options -- it's like two games for the price of one! And playing online is FREE! (Except for broadband IP connection costs, but you can't blame the game for that..)

    Insomniac games have really out done themselves on this one. First there was R.C.1, which I thought was a huge success. Then Ratchet and Clank 2 came out and the prayers of R.C.1 gamers were answered many, of my friends talked about a second game and all of it's possibilities but when it came out, again everyone was pleased.

When I caught wind of R.C.3 though, I had a bad feeling that this was just going to be one of those horrible sequels that are trying to imitate the first game(s). Boy was I wrong, R.C.3 is the best Ratchet and clank game in the series. One thing that impressed most was the on/offline multi-player, this was new turf for Insomniac games but they pulled it off nicely.… Expand

    This is one of the best Ratchet and Clank games ever! If you loved the first and second one you will definitely love this one. The game has loads of weapons and very fun when you get the Ryno 3 gun and when you have the gun at max power you evaporate your enemies like the ray beams on War of The Worlds. This is an excellent game!

    An enjoyable experience worthy of the Ratchet name...even if we're hoping the next iteration of the series pushes the envelope instead of merely experimenting.

    One of the best of its genre, of that there is no doubt. But is it really acceptable to release a game that's so similar to the previous two that it would take the most devoted fan to spot the difference at first glance?

    With a sublime mix of a humorous storyline, fantastic weaponry, some pure comedy moments, and some amazingly solid platforming sections, there's very little to criticise in Ratchet and Clank 3.
