I haven't played a Ratchet and Clank game since Deadlocked on PS2, but I've been on top of the other games through other media. This is a refreshing re-introduction to Ratchet and Clank for me and has been really run playing. The story is good, the gameplay is fun and the levels are unique.
The gadget system has been streamlined and the objectives are clear; making the game great for new-comers and veterans alike.

Difficulty options are available for those who want a challenge or just the story experience. Challenge mode is also available once you finish the story and you get to experience more weapon levels and a couple new weapons.

New and returning weapons are in the game with a total of around 20. There's also a decently sized weapon upgrading tree that feels great. Each weapon feels like it has it's own unique use so you can play the game and use all of the weapons available. Long live the glove of doom!

It's really great to meet a new Character Rivet and to experience the game while playing either of Rivet or Ratchet. Rivet is a great new addition and I hope to see more of Rivet, I'd even love a Mainstream game with Rivet in the title rather than Ratchet.

I'd like to conclude with saying what a lot of people are saying. Sony made a great job with this port (despite some early optimization hiccups) and I would throw more money at Sony if they ported or remade any of the earlier titles.
