    This game is awesome! If you loved Ratchet and Clank on the PS2, then you will love this game! It is a return to the earlier brighter and funnier style of Ratchet and Clank (in contrast to the darker Ratchet Deadlocked), and it is a welcome return to form.

I can only hope that High Impact Games will get to work on a sequel or follow up on the PS3. Buy this game-- you will not be disappointed!… Expand

    This game is the greatest PSP game yet. Even though this one isn't developed by Insomniac themselves, High Impact manages to make this game indistinguishable from Insomniac's offerings.

    With good graphics, good storyline, great variety of weapons and armors, and nice characters, Ratchet & Clank Size Matters is a clever, fun and amazing adventure that provides hours of entertaintment. No Doubt in my opinion this is one of the best option that we can find in the list of PSP games.

    I've played the previous Ratchet and Clank games, and this is a solid entry into the series. The game may not have the most ideal control scheme, but it gets the job done.

    Ratchet and Clank Size Matters is not what you expect, but it turned out to be one of the best platformers on the PSP.

    It’s really good game, good story, good mechanics, good controls, and you can have a lot of fun with this game, the only issue that I have is... the story is too short, I completed the game in 5 hours. But the game is really good and I recommend it.

    I loved this game for the PSP. Probably my favorite PSP game. The only thing that keeps me from giving it a 10 out of 10 is replayability. It feels like once you beat it you beat it.

    I'd give this game an 8.5. Graphics, very good. Story, good. A lot of variety to the gameplay. Overall very fun. This game also made me think about how the R&C series could evolve, as I think there's a real huge opportunity for High Impact to move the core franchise (I'm not including Secret Agent Clank) to a new level.

Specifically, more puzzles that require two or even three steps, and multiple use of weapons and gadgets, to complete them. (For old time gamers, remember the babel fish.) Real puzzles would be a great addition to the combat and exploration. For example, you could see a grapple point, but it's too far out of reach, so you need to use a tractor beam to pull something between them that you can jump on. Stuff like that. Only better. Push yourself High Impact games. I know you can do it.… Expand

    I'll give this game a 8.5. This game is pretty good, and the controls are solid. People complaint about the strafe control, but this can be changed in the Controls Menu. Players can control strafe with the analog stick.

    This game is pretty good. Graphics are the best I've seen on PSP. Gameplay is similar to the one on PS2 which I loved. But the multiplayer feature is lame. Major lag, takes forever to find a game and if you're lucky, you'll get one kill.

    Not as smooth as I would like but it has amazing graphics and is very fun and lighthearted. It's slightly too short and I got bored with the challenge mode. It would have a ten but the camera angles are very frustrating (I would keep dying only because I couldn't see due to camera). Overall very fun and worth the money.

    Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters is a good game. One of the best platformer game on the PSP. The single player mode is very fun, just like all the other Ratchet and Clank games' single player modes. The game is good but has some flaws.

Then there's the multiplayer mode which will get boring quite fast due to the few and somewhat uninteresting game modes. If you expect the multiplayer mode of Size Matters to be as fun as RC3 and 4's multiplayer modes then you will be disappointed. All in all, fun game.… Expand

    This game has so much good things and has put the Ratchet and Clank universe a beautiful place looking like something from a Saturday morning cartoon and the cut-scene when Otto meets Ratchet is absolutely great and graphics are excellent by the standard. The only con is the camera because of the centering.

    Size Matters, whilst not on the level of the Ratchet and Clank series games, is a fun game to play and one of the best PSP games to date. The arena mode is particularly enjoyable and is perhaps even an improvement on such aspects seen in earlier games.

    Hey, at least there's also that game where a video game had to save us from watching that so-called worst movie of all time and because Size Matters, another Ratchet & Clank game, had to come to the rescue, it's time we should call this one a must play for once.

El sistema de armaduras me gusta y la música va de la mano con la jugabilidad. Pero los minijuegos son muy aburridos, la historia deja que desear y el juego en si es muy corto.

    Ratchet & Clank on a handheld didn't seem possible back in 2007, but it was.

You get used to using L and R for the camera after a while, but the lack of an arena gives you little reason besides Challenge Mode to come back to this 5-8 hour experience.

    Of course, Ad Hoc multiplayer is available, and there are lots of nifty Clank mini games, along with a lot of cool RPG elements that aren't in the console games.
