This was my first Rachet game i've played from beginning to end...never really took interest when it was out on PS2 but i thought id give it a shot. I did try the demo first and enjoyed it, so i knew what to expect. I would say i beat the game in just over 10 hours...but i will admit i did sort of rush through it. There are tons of hidden secrets and unlockables for the hunting type of gamer...but it's easy enough to blast straight through for someone like myself (with regards to this game). There are tons of cool guns and weapons to use...I really enjoyed the robot that follows you around and shoots at enemies, the predator, nanoswarmer and others...cant forget the discoball, man i laughed so many times. I must admit the animation and voiceovers are outstanding...probably the best i've see for a cartoon videogame. Although the story is sort of "been there, done that" but its done so well with the characters and dialogue that it pulls you in. If you like the series im sure you'll love this game...the visuals are definitely next-gen. My complaints are that it did get sort of repetitive, especially by the end i just wanted it to finish. There are a ton of planets to visit, but all feel too similar to eachother. The flight battle scenes aren't very fun. The story was meh.
