Its amazing what they can do to old PS2 games - they look stunning I mean its not like they wasn't all that shabby originally, but they look awesome now in HD. I cant wait to play these as I don't believe I ever played them either before..

Who got it from the store just in time before it got removed? I did because it is ment to be out Friday but UK and Ireland got released today for a 1 hour I think and they removed it lol

I had hoped to play this tomorrow but Jak 2 is taking way too long to complete.

Never played Ratchet on the PS2... I was never much for platformers, although I did play my ex's Jak games.... but I did really enjoy ToD on the PS3, and although I didn't enjoy ACiT as much I still platted it... so it's an interesting ride for me to go back to this trilogy....

If the PS3 games are anything to go by it looks like a series that is more all ages friendly than Jak (the sequels have not held up well in the gameplay and design category.... I mean, who ever designed the difficulty inconsistencies for Jak 2 needs a clip around the ears...) and good for a stress free casual play.... yet deep enough with the Gold Bolt collection and Skill Points for those who want a challenge..

Started last night with Ratchet 1. From what everyone says it is by far the most aged of the trilogy, like most of these trilogy sets... (Sly 1, Splinter Cell 1) so maybe seeing as they are quite individual for story I should have just gone straight into Ratchet 2... Will try to at least finish the game, even if the prospect collecting bolts isn't as refined or interesting as the sequels...

Ratchet 1 will be the most outdated it was originally released in 2001. With Ratchet and Clank newcomer's i would be tempted to play in order weapons carry over like a rewards system. 

Waiting for my copy but have recently played my PS2 versions. I personally think Ratchet and Clank still outdo the Sly and Jak and Daxter classic games and they're still decent games.

In my opinion Jak and Daxter is up there with the first Ratchet and Clank game but when Naughty Dog released Jak 2, they practically gave the title of best platformer to R&C. I still think it's shocking that Jak 2 is a children's game. At least the difficulty in R&C was consistent and stayed enjoyable.
