All told, the diligent gamer will get 40+ hours out of this compilation on the first playthrough (there's also a "new game+" challenge mode for each game), while the obsessive player could tack on another 10 or more hours before revisiting the games via challenge mode.

The platforming is pretty good, too, with rail-grinding sections that acknowledge that sometimes you just want a Sonic-esque roll-coaster ride, and magnet-boot sections that confound the player's orientation.

"Ratchet and Clank" now looks as good as or better than anything on the PS2 and that is very gratifying.

Comes with sly cooper demo, works perfectly as it should.

Your Arsenal show just how quickly the R & C games improved.

I still feel that the first and, to some extent, second R&C games are better than just about any other game

The graphical upgrades are welcome and the gameplay is classic R&C which can be good and bad here.

If you dislike 'first person shooters' due to difficulty, you'll appreciate R&C.

If you dislike 'first person shooters' due to difficulty, you'll appreciate R&C.

It is obvious how much R&C have improved from the first one!

Suffice it to say that unless there's something specific about R & C that you hate, these are first-rate, tons of fun games

if you love R&C, you'll find a place in your heart for this game
