The best gunplay of the PS2 Ratchet games no contest, but suffers really badly from repetition even despite being the shortest of the four games. There's just not enough enemy variety to keep the game's campaign going, and while I like the more carefully chosen limited weapon selection (there's basically no dud weapons here) in exchange for a much more complex modding system, several of the weapons are so laughably overpowered that the game becomes a joke even by the halfway point. The shotgun is probably the most OP it has ever been in the entire franchise here. Tone is kind of all over the place, don't really think the darker edgy take really works that well when the game still mixes it with the usual goofy lighthearted stuff on a whim, even if I do like the villain.
