Let me start off by saying that this is the first entry I have played in the Ratchet and Clank series. This game is basically a third person shooter with an insane collection of weapons.
Graphics: The game is far from looking real, but it isn't really going for that at all. It is a cartoon, and it recognizes that. Since it isn't actually trying to look real they are able to add a lot of detail in to miniscule things like the way metal shines or the way water flows.
Story: I imagine the story would have been better if I have played ay Ratchet and Clank games previously, but it was still pretty good. Ratchet and Clank end up getting seperated, and Rachet must risk life and limb to save his old buddy. Clank ends up going on his own adventure, but instead of having a huge arsenal of weapons to choose from, like Ratchet, he instead has a simple melee weapon with the ability to control time.
Gameplay: Personally, I didn't like playing as Clank nearly as much as I enjoyed playing as Ratchet. As Ratchet, you get the same thing previous installments of RAC have given you, a fast-paced third person shooter. When you play as Clank, you deal with very few enemies and a focus is put more on puzzle solving while using his time control abilities. The puzzles you play as Clank are not that hard, but it can be depending on the age of the player. It involves going through a certain level muliple times, each time turning on a different switch as your "ghost" turns on the switches you used in your previous run throughs. So you will have a "ghost" Clank hit a switch, that will allow you to access another switch, and then in your next run-through, both ghost will open the switches to allow you to finish the level.
As I said though, playing as Ratchet is much much more fun, and is the bulk of the game. Its your basic third-person shooter with a WHOLE LOT of weapons to choose from. Using a weapon more often will also upgrade it so it become more powerful and shoots faster. There are many different types of enemies and the ammo you recieve in crates and from killed enemies vary, so it forces you to use different weapons based on what the circumstances call for. Certain enemies can be a real hassell when you don't have the gun (or ammo) needed to exploit his weakness, but for the most part the game isn't that hard. My favorite weapon would have to be the "razor gun" which just shoots a ton of razors at the enemy. It is deceptive at first, since it is terrible when it is only at level one, but easily becomes the most useful weapon later when it is fully upgraded.
What's great about it: Tons of weapons, fun shooting adventure
What's not so great: Clanks puzzles seem out of place

I have enjoyed the series from ps2 days and with the hd upgrade it is beautiful to look at. Lots of fun with the insane weapons and new time control features in the gameplay. Liked some of the weapons in TOD better than this game and also wish it was a little longer, but this has always been a blast to play!!
What's great about it: sheer fun and different from 1st person shooters out now
What's not so great: sometimes camera doesnt cooperate

All fans of Ratchet and Clank will most likely like this game. It unveals an interesting connection to the rest of the Ratchet and Clank Future saga. Ratchet discovers truth that he is not the last lombax living, and also endures on his quest to save his best friend, Clank. With the help of new friends and gadgets, such as the hoverboots, Ratchet soars with faster speed. And along with a whole new arsenal of weaponary, with much upgrades and customizing, Ratchet has a new way to explore and destroy enemies. The only question is: "Are you ready?"
What's great about it: good story, great details, excellent graphics!
What's not so great: Will there be multiplayer?? =/

Ok so alot of people complain that this is more of the same. if you are a R&C fan you expect a specific art style and game play. This game keeps that While, adding small adjustments to the graphics and tweaking the weapons as always. The space play was a massive improvement from the previous 2 games, and a welcomed change. overall this is a solid piece of entertainment. If you are looking for a funny action packed game this should definitely be on your short list.
What's great about it: Its about the little things
What's not so great: now you gotta wait to see if there will be a new game
