I bought this with trade in credit because Space Invaders Extreme was out of stock. Kinda like the crappy off-brand shoes you get cause you need shoes and the cool shoes are gone.
Anyway, huge shock, this game is awesome. Its the first R&C game that isnt more of the same. The mini-games are also pretty brilliant. While most will compare this to Daxter it isn't the same type of game at all. SAC won't challenge you to deal with fiendishly designed levels, but instead will base a mini-game around getting through them. For example a room crowded with trip-lasers is dealt with via a frequency/hero mini game. Stealth is rewarded but the game also has a lot of combat. Lots of weapons, and you still get to play Ratchet as he keeps the buttfuckers away from him in prison. The Quazar missions are a lot of fun; the first one is great because as his false narrative of the completely made up event unfolds, the level changes to accomodate his lies. The 'Incredible Machine' type mini-games for the three little robots are awesome too.
Games gorgeous, the sound is passable, even if the VA work is above average. Camera kind of sucks for the faster combat but the boomerang tie is homing and most of the weapons have smart targeting you can depend on even if the camera is facing your character head on.
Anyway, well worth the money.
