Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters is everything you would expect from a great and enjoyable platformer game. It's fast, crazy, entertaining, funny, it has great characters and is just loads of fun. There is absolutely nothing that could stop you from playing this fantastic game.

If you have played any of the previous games from this series, you will be familiar to the adventures of Ratchet and his little robot companion Clank. Even though playing the first game would help you to understand some characters and who they are, the game is still pretty easy to play for those new to the series.

Ratchet & Clank starts off on Pokitaru (a holiday beach type of planet). Ratchet and his friend are enjoying themselves on the beach, when suddenly, a little girl comes along and asks them if they could do something heroic so she could take some pictures for her school project on heroes (because they are famous for saving the galaxy several times in the previous games). Ratchet agrees and he goes off to fight some robots, this is where the game starts but it will be very easy so far. When you finally fight the robots, and the girl has enough pictures, she is kidnapped.

You (as Ratchet and Clank) have to find the girl, and when you do, you witness her being taken to a spaceship by evil robots. When she is taken, she drops a strange object which Clank believes to be a Technomite artefact. The game has already started but this is where the real challenge starts. The more planets you visit, the harder the game will get. I will not tell you any more of the story, because then I would just spoil it. Even though the story might sound a bit cheesy, don't let yourself be put off by it, because later, it will only get more and more interesting and complicated. For a platformer, this game has a surprisingly developed story which may not look like that to you at the beginning.

Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters is a brilliant game, and quite possibly, one of the best platformer game I've ever played. The story is good, the graphics are very enjoyable for a PSP game, there is lots of stuff to collect and unlock and lots of mini-games to play. There is nothing that should stop you from buying this game, not one little bug or glitch because there isn't any bugs at all! This game definitely deserves a rating of 8.0
