I have had this game for a very short time and have already beat it once and I am on my way through it a second time.
I said but bcs although this is a great game it could really be a bit longer and I didn't really find the bosses that hard to beat.
But as far as the fun factor goes man this is addictive like I said I am playing it again and the second time through your guns get better and your armour gets better.

In summary this game is a must have for your PSP collection,

Great addition to the series...

This was a fun game to play. This is a great addition to the series. If you are a fan of the other games, and own a PSP, there's no reason not to buy this one. My only complaint was that it was a pretty short game. Probably took somewhere around 8 hours or so to complete almost everything, including most of the bonus missions. But that doesn't ruin the game itself. The graphics almost match the PS2's on the game, which helps keep the feel of the PS2 versions. Definitely an addition to the PSP's small list of great games.

For anyone with a doubt of buying this game, don't doubt it it has all the juicy goodness in adventure, mini games of racing and galactic battling along with the hyped adventure with guns. Have fun!

Wrench it up, Ratchet down.

I must admit from the start, I have been a huge fan of Ratchet and Clank since their first adventure came out for the PS2. Wow, actually it was almost exactly five years ago, actually. Weird.
Anyway, from the viral-style adverts (before viral was even much of an option, natch) with wanton destruction to the actual gameplay itself, the R&C series has mostly been one improvement after another (with the exception of Deadlocked, which was fun but definitely not a big step up) and insanely entertaining in the bargain. So when I first started seeing adverts for the R&C PSP outing, Size Matters, my first thought was, "You lame bastards. Now i will eventually have to buy a PSP."
Typical.
First of all, I should admit that i have not yet completely beaten 'Size Matters', but i believe that i've seen enough of it to declare it an almost unqualified success.
Graphically, 'Size Matters' is absolutely stunning. I have not played a great deal of PSP games yet, so i don't have a huge basis for comparison, but this one is beautiful from the start. Particularly interesting is the 'dream' section which finds Ratchet suffering from some sort of anesthesia overdose, causing his (and thus your) perception to get very strange around the edges. Perhaps i'm simply OLD (my video game obsession started in the early 80's with an Atari 2600), but it's a bit difficult to believe the amount of power that seems to lurk in the PSP, processor-wise.
The sound in 'Size Matters' is surprisingly good, too. The music has the same feel as the rest of the series, the voice acting is at the same high level as usual, and the rest of the sounds are clean, well produced, and better than average.
Perhaps most importantly, though, is the story and general atmosphere of the game. Here, the developers took a page from the older games in the series, which was a great relief to me. Instead of the absurdly episodic approach taken by 'Deadlocked', this game allows you to wander around the surface of the planets a bit more freely, with less of the 'go here, do that' hand-holding which started to creep into the last two R&C PS2 outings.
The only reason that i didn't give this game five stars across the board is because of the limitations of the PSP itself, as a controller, and the fact that a few of the battles/sections seem to be, shall we say... filler.. you will find yourself being killed several times in order to gain more experience/life points before being able to move on.
Other than that, though, 'Size Matters' is a refreshing, long-awaited visit from a bunch of old friends.
And you can annoy people on the bus with it, which is a big, big plus.

Great, but not for PSP

I've been a big Ratchet and Clank fan, so it only made sense to buy Ratchet and Clank for PSP. The gameplay started out great. It was challenging. The graphics were beautiful. The camera angles were a little weird, but I got the hang of it after a few minutes. It still had that wonderful R&C PS2 charm about it. I even finished the first race!

But the second race with the Skyboard Racer is impossible with the PSP joystick and controls. They are just AWFUL for these races! I've even asked another gamer who is excellent at racing games on the PSP to try to finish it and even he can't. So, as much as I love Ratchet and Clank, I can only rate this game 3/5 because it's just not fun when you can't progress in the game.

Size Matters is the best game made for the PSP so far

I really like this game! You have tons of weapons to choose from, ranging from the cheap and puny hand gun (Lacerators), to the insanely expensive and incredibly dangerous homing missle launcher (Rynocerator) ! Replaying the game several times will be nessesary if you want to get all the Titanium Bolts, Armor sets, skill points and upgrade all your weapons. The graphics are really good. I hope they make another R&C game for the psp.

It could have been better

I played this after i played daxter. The area where this game could have improved is in its clarity. The colors look a little bland and not as vibrant as daxter. It takes a little getting used to with the jumps, especially the long jump that for some reason doesnt always work. In terms of value the game is pretty fun and will take a while to beat.

Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters..........

The Ratchet and Clank series achieved good success over its' four games on the PS2. So, it comes as no surprise that Sony brings it to the Playstion Portable. Just how does it stand up to the console editions?? Does it matter that it was developed by a different developer? Well, I'm going to answer those questions for you. First of all, it doesn't matter a bit that it was developed by a different developer. Which in this case was High Impact Games. If you were unaware that it was made by a different one, you wouldn't have figured it was made by anyone else other than Insomniac. Anything that Insomniac was able to achieve graphically and gameplaywise on the PS2, High Impact was able to achieve on the PSP. To me, that's pretty impressive. The designs of the levels, although abit smaller, are as excellent as they are on the PS2 and the story has so many twists and turns that you'll keep playing just to see how things end. Even the control, which relied so heavily on the second analog stick on the PS2, has been worked out to accompany the PSP without things feeling out of place. In my opinion, it holds up quite well to the console editions & is a worthy installment to the ongoing series. To sum it all up in one sentence, I'm amazed. Games like Size Matters is just what we need on the PSP.

Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters leaves me hopeful that Sony will bring its' other successful platformer, Sly Cooper(which is another one of my favorites), over to the PSP. Or, at the very least, continue this one on it.

Best ever!

My 11 yr old LOVES this game. She said this is the best game for the PSP that she's ever played. Highly recommended from this dad!

Fantastic!

I've been a Ratchet & Clank fan since the beginning, and was going to pick Size Matters up regardless. Let's just say I'm glad I did!! This game sticks to the story, the humor, the characters and the fun of the franchise while remaining a brand new game! Best game out right now for the PSP! Camera can be a little weird at times, but much better than other games I've had. If you like platformers (or even if you don't) grab this game!!!

The graphics are top notch and on par with the PS2. Great effects and ultra smooth gameplay to boot. The numerous "minigames" add to the enjoyment as well, and break up any monotony of whacking away with your wrench.

I'd give this sucker 6 stars if I could!
