This game is incredibly underrated all I've heard from "hard-core" fans are nothing but negative ..but for someone that has been playing ratchet and clank since the original release in 2002 I must say they have nostalgia goggles on. Sure there are some changes that were made storywise (like nefarious being included, absense of giant clank etc) but you have no reason to let it ruin the overall experience. The pacing is so great as well, (unlike the original release or even A Crack in time )which probably has something to do with some planets being absent entirely.. for those that are bothered by this change in the grand scheme of things it is a tie in to a movie so they had to make some sacrifices. Overall its a great game with amazing graphics, very rewarding gameplay, and charming personality. Its better than the original release in 2002.
