Decided to play through the PS3 Ratchet & Clank games before the new game comes out and this was a rough one to get back to.

The first half or so of the game is alright, the weapons are fun to use and the usual Ratchet & Clank jump and shoot gameplay holds up. But as the game ramps up its difficulty it also makes more and more of the earlier weapons in the game useless. A lot of enemies also become bullet sponges unless you tediously grind in the arena to get your weapons to do bigger damage numbers. By the end of the game there's not really much room for experimentation, with only a few weapons actually being effective.

Also stuff like bad checkpointing and the typical 2007 video game humor is obnoxious. Hope that the rest of the Future series holds up better.
