    I found the games annoying and tedious to play. I just didn't find myself having a good time with this game and I must say this was more of a chore than an experience. I know many people had enjoyed this but for me I didn't like it.

    this is a zero game. problems. too many pixel perfect jumps. too many falls to instant deaths clank puzzles are broken, the quit button dont work. so i'm stuck this game has gone back in time in graphics, guest for booty is great. this is a zero sum game.

    Mediocre game, too unfocused. Tries to be funny but fails badly at the end. Stay away from these pretentious piece of crap. Boring, tedious and doesn't worth your time.

    This was a really frustrating game for me. I have read many great things about the Ratchet and Clank series and how funny it is, with this particular game being one of the best and funniest, so I jumped in to it and did not see what the fuss is about at all.

    The story and jokes really felt like it was made for the under 10 years old players-complete with over animated movements and    This was a really frustrating game for me. I have read many great things about the Ratchet and Clank series and how funny it is, with this particular game being one of the best and funniest, so I jumped in to it and did not see what the fuss is about at all.

    The story and jokes really felt like it was made for the under 10 years old players-complete with over animated movements and cutesy characters. I will usually get a few chuckles out of a Pixar movie or Saturday morning cartoons, but this was flat as a pancake for me. Not to say that kids humor can't be funny to adults, but it felt like they were trying so hard.

    Another thing this series is lauded for are the weapons-which were also disappointing. I only really felt like one or two guns did any damage and half the guns are just for crowd control of some kind or another. Add that on top of an auto aiming system that is really finnicky and you'll get real frustrated, real fast.

    And speaking of frustrating-the platforming was really rough for me. Way too often I would miss a jump for seemingly no reason, then die instantly, then restart at a checkpoint from way back in the level. It was a real exercise in patience to complete the game at all.

    If you like the series, you probably don't need my opinion and more power to you, but if you're like me and thinking of giving it a chance, probably just skip it.    … Expand

    Same gameplay, new story. More jokes and many new little gadgets make the new part of this series as enjoyable as the older ones. Insomniac Games build on their qualities and do well so.

    This is the last part in the trilogy and has a few new gameplay possibilities. You can use the great new Hooverboots, explore space with your spaceship and you need to find Clank. A great adventure and a truly worthy closing of the trilogy.

    It's not a difficult game, but with bolts, Zoni, Skill Points, holoplans, Constructo Mods, space missions, Trophies and Challenge Mode, there's an abundance of gameplay. It's a robust single player experience, and I particularly love that Insomniac has kept their signature Skill Points, with their own quirky requirements, separate from Trophies.
