A Game Worse Than Size Matters!

[@jvstluna]

I’m incredibly biased towards both of these games. Love them so much.

[@Natquerx]

That's understandable. I do prefer Size Matters over this one though. I enjoyed the Clank segments but it's so fragmented.

[@kingitosinosa]

Have you gotten all the skill points? They are more frustrating in this game than in any other across the entire series!

[@eyuin5716]

Secret Agent Clank is overhated. This was a solid game and I had a lot of fun playing it when it came out in 2008.

[@tysonmchese5799]

Ok makes sense

[@austenadkins1649]

I rather enjoyed these games due to the simplicity and playability on the psp. I loved long road trips playing from start to finish. As an adult though, I don’t think I could sit down and enjoy them like I used to. I also agree with the ratchet aspect, they definitely could’ve gone a different route with him in this game. Great video!

[@Natquerx]

Thanks for the comment. It's not that I dislike the Ratchet parts I just simply wanted more Clank.

[@-ElectricRat-]

I mean the best part of secret agent clank is that we see ratchets hands without gloves

[@Natquerx]

Accurate.

[@theluckyshroom4637]

Agent clank was such a good game very underrated

[@Natquerx]

;) definitely had some good aspects to it.

The rhythm section in the casino is worse than difficulty spikes in certain R&C games such as Planet Siberius in GC, inside the Apogee Space Station in ToD and the snowy planet (I forgot the level names but it’s at the near of the end of the game) in All 4 One. Edit: The rhythm section is the only part that I’ve never got passed and gave up on when I was younger.

[@Natquerx]

Man, that rhythm segment in the Casino. I couldn't believe how hard that was even now. I could not imagine trying to do that as a kid.

[@Pioneer_DE]

Imo, Secret Agent Clank was one of my favorite games. I hated Size Matters. Dunno what it was about Secret Agent Clank but the huge variety it brought in gameplay, the cool interactive level design, the stealth elements, etc. etc. made it one of my fav. games.

[@dark_nightwing_xl2797]

I like both

[@andre.mateus]

There's situations where I can understand why people hate something. This game just baffles me why! It's no masterpiece, but it's a great game.

[@reyesaldaojoseemilio4854]

I really enjoy playing that game back on 2013 when i had a psp, the only thing that actually anoyed me, was the final boss, because when i died during the fight, i had to fight all over again since the beggining

[@Omega51952]

remember when I was 6 years old and my father was buying this game from the PSP store for me, I loved this game (even though I never managed to get past the first level)

Ima be honest, this game isnt too awful, its just cringy. If you want a bad Ratchet and Clank game, A4O, FFA and BTN are your convicts. RAC PS4 is really fun and actually good in a combat and gameplay aspect, but like SAC, its cringe

[@Natquerx]

Fair enough.

[@mooganify]

I dont remember there being such a disparity between all 3 character but I suppose I was only, like, 12 when I played it last hah. It really does look all over the place and you dont even need to say why, all you gotta do is describe it like you have and boom.

[@Natquerx]

Thank you for checking out!

[@donavinnezar]

agent clank was TRAAAAASH our opinions differ in the end . for me it was the ratchet and quark segments that saved the game

[@tiffaelesis2829]

I beat both the games, size matters and secret agent clank on PSP and PS2 also, i like both

[@suntannedduck2388]

I think it's a fair game. Even the treehouses/museums are great check them out. Size matters had the armours better than Rift Apart, the Lemmings Gadgebots in the Clank arena I like. The Clank and Ratchet Luna part is a great call back even if not the same, the Technomotes as if fairies that make all the tech or whatever at first is odd but works and the cloning your protagonist because you can't win is very silly but still fits the universe, even the lost all weapons thing I don't mind it's interesting being limited for that short time, the races are awkward but still builds on more than Ratchet 1 started and on what Ratchet 2 races were, inside Clank is cool, not the most fun level but it's still cool just like going inside any character type of levels their brain their body whatever, they experimented quite a bit. They made a short adventure on a handheld it's a weird game but it's fine enough. Secret Agent Clank tries to have its own ideas, the wrench abilities, the hoverboard and rhythm are too long (stealth is a fair idea but long and basic) the rhythm isn't even on point with the music (sure Tyrraguide wasn't to music either), the hoverboard moments are fine enough and something different for Clank, Gadgebots are like Tokobot another PSP game (made years earlier) with stacking them but it goes further with these formations, the arenas are Ratchet than Clank arenas which I mean sure but for a both sides story perspective it's fair then why he is in this situation, a how the prison life is/seeing old foes is fair. It isn't that relevant but it's a fine detail. It makes sense it's too much and likely padding for sure. Then again I always never know how far of too much experimenting or too consistent and getting boring if the core isn't storing enough but for Ratchet games I don't know how far of that fine line. The thing I find interesting is they have Clank and Ratchet weapons but Rift Apart can't even do that. What effort and world building right there for a handheld title that the big console one doesn't. Or a different enough playing character (Rivet is fine but her gameplay isn't worth it for what possibilities of this dimensional change it's like saying why bother going to Bogan they make the same weapons at Megacorp and have this and that from Gadegtron in Solana or same with Grummelnet, it's just nice to see but oh well they could have halved the weapons per character or something. I get shared bolts and weapons but it's just not the same as more effort put in. Characters need more than story and for AAA quality sure I am over expecting but I mean if the old games were done in short times with some staff or even Song of the Deep their metroidvania I would assume they can but got to be cinematic forget the gameplay it's good enough sigh. Times are different but eh their too standardized and weak these days). Multiple characters is always a Ratchet and Clank thing (more than Jak and Daxter for sure) even if Qwark moments are odd but it's Qwark so it's supposed to be silly, the Ratchet 1 (bomb glove opens rock wall or boxes kind of logic) weapons used like the vine flower one or the flame thrower are cool to see. It's a fine game. The story is weird for sure but the gameplay ideas are really cool. I think people don't actually pick out the good ideas, point to the PS2 ports or just that their spinoffs and go eh my mind is made up. They are fine games not perfect but still but some interesting elements in them. Better than 2016 that had an identity crisis of old and new formula not working well together and Rift Apart is future saga ideas remixed the game pass. Too much Tools not enough of the good that Crack in Time actually did. It's still interesting to see that PS2 era experimentation and silliness then the future saga story and direction we keep seeing and this cinematic angle that these game Devs aren't good at and they feel like bad imitations but got to do it sigh..kk

[@Natquerx]

Hey man and thanks for the insight! I still have yet to play Rift Apart so I cannot comment on that. Regarding the multiple character thing I had just came off Ratchet: Deadlocked where its only Ratchet and because the game was titled Secret Agent Clank my mind was expecting only Clank so that's definitely a fault of mine for having expectations going right in. I appreciate the game for what it's worth but I was hoping for more Clank segments in general as it was refreshing to play with him and his own set of weapons/tools for once.

[@Diolover-yj5xz]

Why do people dislike size matters simple 1. The story sucks 2. The camera sucks 3. The psp controls sucks 4. The weapons are so weak that you have a better chance of killing them with a wet tissue 5. Spongey enemies 6. The last three bosses especially the last one are the worst 7. Everything cost too many bolts 8. The only way to get bolts are from the horrible hoverbike races and clank arenas that award you with pennies the second time around 9. Those footsteps in the cutscene before the final boss sound so awkward 10. Terrible checkpoints And that final level along with the boss can go die

[@Natquerx]

I wasn't arguing the PSP point as I personally enjoyed Size Matters. It's more so SAC for me fell short of being a better game (personally) due to the constant character switching.

Have only just started the video, will update my comment once I have watched it. I personally think Secret Agent Clank in one of the more underrated games in the series, and I would rate it higher than not just Size Matters, but R&C2. I think it's a good game. Okay, gonna watch the rest of the video! Edit: Corrections made in the friendliest possible manner, my chum. Ratchet is _buck_ (not butt) naked, adding comedy to a series which is sometimes _devoid_ (not void) of it. Okay, watching the rest now! Edit: Having now finished, I think our difference of opinion can be put down to one major thing: I personally loved the variety offered between the Clank, Ratchet and Quark segments. I felt it kept the game feeling fresh from start to finish, even if the individual parts don't match up to the best of the series. I'm a sucker for rhythm games, I found the stealth segments charming, the Ratchet arena style gameplay a nice break to just blast some stuff, the gadgetbot parts to be fun little puzzles, and the Quark sections to offer some comedy. Plus, Klunk ends up as a vacuum, meaning he has been destined to SUCK forever. What can I say? I've played every single R&C game (and own an original physical copy of each) and I think Secret Agent Clank is the... 8th best in the series. An unpopular opinion, I know, but I really enjoyed this game. Anyway, despite our disagreement, please keep making videos! As a huge R&C fan I'm always happy to see more content!

[@Natquerx]

Hey man and thanks for stopping by! I definitely see what you mean when you explained it the way you did, and I appreciate that. I also think coming to this game after Deadlocked which was titled Ratchet: Deadlocked and only featured Ratchet had me assume Secret Agent Clank would purely revolve around Clank. So, part of my issue was expectation in this one.

When I was a kid, I had extremely low standards for games. I liked just about anything I played, even some garbage as Sonic Blast and some lousy licensed DS games.
