I am getting my first PS3 game (other than MGS4 which I got in the MGS4 bundle) in a few days. I have narrowed it down to Ratchet or Uncharted, I am leaning towards Ratchet. Can someone help me with this decision, also you could recommend another game.

personally I like Uncharted more but both are great games so you can't go wrong with either. However a few other games I recoemend:
1. Folklore (very underated)
2. Resistance: Fall Of Man
3. NHL 2K8 (great sports game)
4. NASCAR 09

Personally, I haven't played Rachet and Clank, but Uncharted is the best third person shooter game I have. You have dodging, cover, melee, shooting, and a whole collection of weapons. Any gun you see you can take. It adds a touch of fantasy in as well near the end.

You won't regret this if you buy it. Trust me, this is a great game.

Some other choices are:

Assassin's Creed

Battlefield Bad Company

Viking Battle for Asgard

Be aware that Viking Battle for Asgard is gory and the bloodiest hack and slash game out there. But it's lots of fun.

Uncharted. I personally think Ratchet is a little too childish for me, but hey that's just my opinion. Uncharted is great.

Both are great choices, but I'd give Uncharted a SLIGHT edge. You should really get both eventually though.

If you played any Ratchet and Clank game you've pretty much played them all.

I would go with ratchet, but if you have a little extra money to spend, buy uncharted and download ratchet off of the store (it's not as long as a real ratchet and clank game, maybe 3-4 hours, but it only costs $15 ;))

Get Uncharted. It's the best PS3 experience out there. It won't disappoint you, I can assure you that. For some other games COD4 is fun for online and possibly GTA IV.

Between the two id go for uncharted, but you definetly have to play R&C sometime. Both games are awesome and what ive been playing for the last few weeks and for a great ps3 ecperience you should play both.

I should get both of these games, I played the Uncharted demo and was blown away by it. And the PS2 Ratchet and Clank games were pretty fun.

I own both and these are too amazing games. Ratchet and Clank looks like a Pixar movie but it is not a kiddie game. It has a decent length and is very fun and entertaining. Uncharted on the other hand is a blockbuster hit that shouldn't be missed. The story is great and the action is unbelievable. This game is not as long as Ratchet and Clank but the game play makes up for this and you should get at least two playthroughs with this game. Also if you are in to trophies, Uncharted would be a better suited game due to a patch for trophies should be out mid August. So if you are looking for fun I would go with Ratchet and Clank or if you looking for great action pack fun then you would want to go with Uncharted. If you have the extra cash, I suggest both.

Either game would be money well spent as they both have quite a lot of replay value, especially if you like to collect stuff. As for my recommendation, I'd have to go with Uncharted, purely because of its fast paced action.

ratchet and clank, i felt stupid renting a kids game, and then quickly relized discrimating a game based on something like that would have had me missing out on a great game.

personally uncharted is a great "rent" but a horrible buy. you can beat it in a 5 day renting period...so this is a very simple choice.

after beating ratchet and clank i realizeing the replay value i prob should have bought it instead of renting.

I have both and I think they are both great. Uncharted probably has the better story and the gameplay is quite fun, although it is similar throughout the whole game. In Ratchet, there are puzzles, flying sections, arena battles and theres also some nice sixaxis moments

I would say get both, they both give you great single player experiences. Ratchet has a longer story than Uncharted. Also, Other games I recommend later on is Ninja Gaiden Sigma, COD4, Uncharted, Ratchet and Clank, Devil May Cry 4, GTA4, Rockband, Resistance and there are other great games coming out this fall.

They both are good, but both are renters. If I "had" to buy one it would be Rc. I just had more fun with it. There is no replay for either, but Rc has more IMO. I bought both of them and wish I would have rented.

Uncharted for me. Both are AMAZING (top games last year on ps3 easily) but Uncharted just has this amazing cinematic quality to it. Both SHOULD be boughten and both have amazing replay value (never get bored going back through uncharted, just really fun gameplay)

Get both if you can, but Uncharted is going to get a trophy patch. So if you want trophy's get Uncharted
