Ratchet & Clank is a real gem, gorgeous designs, a real strong sense of exploration and adventure. Lovely graphics, and memorable music.
But oh boy does it get brutal towards the end - makes me wonder if the finale was literally the last thing they developed. It requires a long gauntlet of highly precise platforming among enemies with longer targeting radii than you, with weapons with splash damage, and there are no checkpoints.
I ultimately ended up deciding to use the infinite bolt glitch to get myself the final health upgrade, and the RYNO and finally make my way to Drek, and frankly I consider this the game's penance for the absurd difficulty at the end.
A solid game, and a real PlayStation 2 classic. The Vita port does it justice, too!
