This thread has been linked to the game 'Ratchet and Clank 3'.
Ratchet and Clank 3 went platinum just recently. Being more of a fan of the Jak series, I had decided to wait until the price went down before looking in to Ratchet 3. According to reviews, Ratchet 3 was supposed to be better than Jak 3, a reversal of fortune after the Jak II vs Ratchet 2 match, but I wasn't quite convinced - despite advice from the extrememly knowledgeable monster of the wookiee variety.
Having now played the game however (even for just 10 hours so far), I have to say:
I.
Am.
Stunned.
Its fantastic! Absolutely awesome! The game is accessible for the kids, just about, particularly since kids these days are unnaturally talented when it comes to video games, but its clearly designed with adults in mind. There is a never ending stream of clever touches and things that make me go "Wow! That's such a good idea!!" I spent a couple of hours just fiddling around in Annihilation Nation taking part in the various challenges and death matches - superb! Even the Quark minigames and the new Infiltrator subgames are good fun to play (the Quark minis are made even better by some excellent comic book sequences between games).
Say again: Fantastic, awesome, brilliant, amazing! Thanks Wooks, I should have listened to you sooner!

I'd agree, R&C3 (and Jak 3) were largely overlooked titles. Get them now for enjoyable fun.
My brother bought both R&C 2 and 3 recently, so I settled down to complete the original. Now, I'm playing through the second, and...
...HOVERBIKES RULZ!!!!111!5
I don't know if it's easy or not, it just seems to stick to a certain difficulty. The shoot-em up sections in space are difficult though. I love hoverbiking though, it's just that not many games capture that sort of speed.
However, when your 12 year old brother doesn't want me playing because I might 'get further than him', I have to play it with a certain degree of anonymisity.
Curses... I can't spell today...

Oh cheers. Always nice to get constructive criticism :)
Wuss!
I've given up on 2 in disgust! Now stuck on the second hover race and the second glider challange. I just do not have the patient to complete these tasks and I cannot get any further without doing them.
It's not quite a glorified tea coaster but, boy, is it close to being!

Oops like me :)
I've just spent so much time on R&C1 and 2 that I didn't bother coming back in here as you were originally discussing 3 - which I haven't yet bought.

Okay. I've done this now. After you complete the game you are asked if you wish to start again with all the weapons etc. that you've already collected. After you say yes you start again from the very beginning. The first planet you go to after you pick up the shipwrecked clank has a teleport near where the ship lands. This takes you to the other gold weapons.
I completed this game so that I could carry over the weapons which are also used in game 2 but I'm already stuck in 2 as I cannot for the life of me win the the first hover race. I thought skateboarding in 1 was bad enough but this is ten times worse :(

No problem at all. The reason I thought you might not know about the rest of the forum was that all your posts so far (there were 4 at the time according to your user profile) were in this thread. Although I can't help, with this thread near the top, it may attract the attention of somebody who can. Good luck!
Sorry I can't actually help with getting loads more bolts, but I can tell you that people are in this forum all the time, just not this thread. This thread is part of the "Sony - PS1 & PS2" forum, just click the link above to go there and you'll see this thread and loads of others listed.
Also, apologies if I just insulted your intelligence, but sometimes people link to a page directly from something like google and may not realize that this is just one small part of a much larger place.

Um... your question was answered literally 3 posts below your question.
You can get an upgrade for 5 of the weapons on the Gremlik Base (I think that's what it's called) before the end of the game though. On the platform next to where you got the ship you have to do a huge wall climb to get up the tower.
