I have loved this series since the first game, and it was actually my second PS2 game.
Gotta say I love the second for it's space battles,m and I think it had some of the best weapons selection.

Yes, I am also a fan, if not a hardcore one.

I really should pick-up Tools of Destruction again. I never did finish it.

Crack In Time is coming soon.

I'm a fan; it was my third game. (ps2)

I loved the first game in the series. Played it through, all the way. Now i'm kicking myself because i never picked up the sequels, even though i thoroughly enjoyed the demos of them i had played.

Are the PS3 editions of the games stand-alone plot wise or would i be missing too much by not having played anything since the first?

I picked up Tools of Destruction again after about a year and this thread. I was about thrity minutes from the finale'

Oh well, I started over on hardcore or whatever mode. Great game either way.

I don't think missing a few in the series will effect your playability either way. ToD is certainly a Stand Alone but the ending does lead into the next one (or PSP game) so that's kind of crappy.

I'd pick up the others simply cause they're great, as well as providing info on what happened to some of the recurring characters. Remember the Plumber?

I loved that series so much.
i kinda want to cry since i cant play it.
I might get a ps3 when i get my first paycheack if i get the job.

The ratchet and Clank games are some of the best I have ever Played on, I have completed all of them up to the PS3 versions (I haven't got a PS3)
I absolutely love them all, although 3 is definately the best
I am saving up for a PS3 for the ratchet and Clank games and Call Of Duty

just saw the preview for Crack in Time I have just Two words:

DOCTOR NEFARIOUS

He Was and IS my favourite ever R&C Baddy.

Hi guys, I got a question on the R&C games. Are they like the Jak & Daxter games? Because I really like that series.

I just saw that they brought out this R&C bundle with R&C 1, 2, 3 in it so maybe it would be a good buy for me.

I think it's made by the same developers. Haven't played J&D myself, but R&C is great fun. I've yet to pick up Tools of Destruction, but I have all the games up to Gladiator. Up Your Arsenal is the best IMO, both for single- and multi-player.

Love them. I have only PS2 but played all PS2 games and I think that the 3rd one is the best. Always (unless you count the PS3 games too)

They are a bit like Jak, but not in the same open world sort of sense you get with Jak. You can still go places, it's just more linear I guess is the right word. Also, not gonna spoil the ending, but ToD's left a lot to be desired. Well, they prolly want you to download quest for booty then. That's how they get ya.
I would suggest gettin it and if you don' like, you can always return/trade it in.

Had trouble figuring out what you meant by this. Turns out that it goes by two names. The American one sounds cooler IMO.

Ratchet: Deadlocked
Ratchet:Gladiator. Sounds like Russle Crowe's gonna burst out and stab Gleeman Vox while yelling "ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED!!"

They are similar, and there are judicious references to the others in the games (Jak and Daxter posters on R&C)
they also use shared software.
