.. got 82% in Play.

The main problem being it's just more of the same, which we all knew anyway.

Too right. Suck cannon, Glove of Doom. Genius.

I couldn't comment on Jak II (ain't got it) but for the originals (I have both) R&C win hands down

Indeed. Probably the first time a 'hilarious sidekick' actually lived upto the name

Yar - R&C used the original J&D engine. And R&C2 uses it too, which was another critism - that engine IS 2 years old already.

*Running out of words to use in agreement*
Uh-HUH.

Actually ... doesn't Ratchet look a little like a bigger, pastel-shaded Daxter?

Testify!
Just a few more issues 'til my subscription runs out, then I'm changing to PSM2 - it's done by the same people who did Power back in the day, and that rocked (and the same people who do NGC)

More of the same? Yes, we knew that, as you say. And good job too, I say!

Jak 2 is a massive improvement over the original, but R&C is still better. More weapons for a start - and more ORIGINAL weapons, too.

There was a lot more to be improved upon for the Jak series, so it's obvious that improvements would be more noticable.

Jak 2 is a FANTASTIC game - don't get me wrong - I'm nearly finished, and I've loved EVERY SINGLE MINUTE of it. But I still think the original Ratchet & Clank was better, and therefore I think R&C2 will also be better than Jak 2.

That said, Daxter is a FAR better sidekick than Clank... Clank is more useful, but Daxter is just SSSOOOOOOOO damn funny!

I know that Naughty Dog (Jak & Daxter) and Insomniac (Ratchet & CLank) have a code-sharing agreement, which is why there are so many similarities between the games...

...so who else thinks that a "Ratchet & Daxter" game would be cool...?

Play has went down the pan, I think. Used to be excellent, but has just deteoriated over time.
