I'm a PlayStation fan, I think PS2 is the greatest console of all-time. as "Rift Apart" recently came out, I realized I've never played anything from the ratchet and clank series, so I decided I'll play the originals before I play "Rift Apart".

Seeing as PS2 Ratchet and Clank just didn't run well on my ps2 emulator, my ps2 is kinda broken, not owning a ps3, my only option for playing the game was a PS Vita. Just letting you know cause this may have affected my experience.

The game is just straight up not that fun to play. Combat is fucking clunky as hell and just aged terribly, the platforming is basic and dull. The environments are pretty neat, though it's bogged down by enemies that become repetitive very fast, and the music in this game fucking sucks, it's so bad. I never really liked any of the characters, Ratchet is just kinda weird and rude, while clank is mostly boring.

I feel if I played this as a kid I'd give it a higher review or something, but this game just flat out didn't age well, and it isn't worth checking out in 2021. I got like 3/4ths through the game, and I was just bored and not having any fun with it, so I stopped playing it. I don't like not finishing games but I just didn't want to play this anymore.

Overrated most definitely, people are blinded by nostalgia.
