This game rocks. They didn't have the characters fleshed out but the plot itself is really solid even if you get a few lines of dialogue that aren't necessarily ideal. This game was a lot more punishing than later Ratchet and Clank entries and it didn't lend itself as much to head on combat so to some extent it encourage a slower, more methodical play style. In addition to that you had of a platforming focus than later entries, at least in my opinion. Good game, solid start to the franchise.
