I'm just glad they brought him back at all, despite it being an admittedly cheap move. I kinda thought he was done in R&C3, so to see him come back at all was fine enough. But wait, I don't remember him being completely obliterated or anything. Yeah, his space station blew up, but how many hundreds of times has a villain's lair blown up with the villain inside, but they come back for the sequel anyway? And even if he did get broken a bit, he's a robot. Even though he's my favorite, I wouldn't want him to come back again.

Aaaanyyyywaaaay, this game… There just really wasn't enough combat or enough levels in the game. The Hoverboots were cool, but they didn't do a lot of cool things with them. There's Krell Canyon, a few of the moons, and the last boss, but that's about it. Space combat was pretty cool though. Although after a while, it did get a little repetitive. You defeated the enemies in almost the exact same way. Nothing really changed with them at all.

I noticed the pacing of the game was a lot slower than previous Ratchet games. It takes hours for the game to get some momentum. The game feels like a big tutorial until you get to Axiom City. They had the weapons spread out nicely though. I wish they hadn't shown you the final armor design so early though. That was really anti-climactic when I found out there wasn't going to be an extra upgrade in challenge mode or anything. Also, in previous Ratchet games, when you upgraded a weapon to level 5, it changed appearance AND added significant functionality. In this game, there's hardly any added functionality. The Sonic Eruptor stays exactly the same aside from the facelift. A handful of other weapons simple add some sort of small explosion with the attack. That's not a lot of incentive to upgrade the weapons and it's really anti-climactic to see level 5 and have almost nothing happen.

So overall, this feels like the most casual Ratchet since the first game, even with Lord Vorselon. Even the arena matches are more simple and lackluster. The skill points are intact though. Those are basically as good as ever. Gold bolts were good and Zoni collecting was interesting. People complain about the weapon selection, but I think it's fairly decent. Not as good as some games, but the Constructo weapons were pretty neat. Then there's the Cryomine Glove which offsets the brilliance of the Constructo weapons. Seriously. Be more useless, Cryomine. You can't replace the Groovitron. Even the Mag-net Launcher at least causes damage and it's faster and more accurate.

So yeah, obviously not my favorite in the series, but I don't regret the time I've put into it. If I weren't such a fanboy, though, I probably wouldn't like this game much at all.

Scythids, Crimson Lance, Larva Worm thingy, and man, the Guardians are kickass. I'm only at level 31 right now, but those are the enemies I can remember in addition to to BigWoop's four.

My friend was just mentioning that that happened to him, too. He said he has the check mark as if he bought it, but he's got the crossed circle saying it's unavailable or something. And he's only like level 24 or something.

Can someone tell me how to equip my revenge booster? 

When I click 'x' on Slot 1 it says nothing equipped but then won't give me the option to actually equip it

First, you have to buy it for $100k+. Secondly, it's your 2nd booster slot.

I don't see how an extra round would make it any easier unless you had a group of people who SUCKED on the other team to rack up the kills.

40 per game? 20 per round? That's a little bit average, isn't it?

Ditto with that hand-to-hand combat thing. I have no idea what's up with that. Draza pissed me off in Crushing. Impossible to counter that fool. The only times I was allowed to counter was during slow-mo.

But anyway, those guardians aren't so bad. Staying on the move, hammering bullets into their face until they start rushing you, run-and-gunning, etc, until one dies. Once one dies, the other goes day much quicker since you can use the Crossbow. Two good hits and they're usually down. That's the only smart way to go about those fights.

i think its a glitch…i got mine when  i had like 900,000 xp..lucky me..lol..

ive got a glitch in 10000 kills too..ive only gotten 9900 but ive already got the trophy..

Try turning off your internet and looking at your profile stats again. You'll probably have the 10k or at least a higher number. For whatever reason, being online does that.

Yeah, I wouldn't assume Hale's dead. I mean, he's like the ultimate chimera now, right? So a simple head explosion seems like something he could regenerate easily. Maybe. I kinda hope he's a last boss since that'd be pretty awesome. Oh man, can't wait for this one. I wonder how they're gonna top Resistance 2.
