Hmm, this Gamespot review is beginning to look like a crock of ***.

You know, they made a big deal about improving the depth and quality of their rankings, and now their reviewer plunks down a 7.5 for Ratchet, for apparent reason other than grumpiness -- i.e. supposedly it wasn't difficult enough, whatever the hell that means. Excuse me? Does every action game have to require Olympic finger training?

I've played the Ratchet demo, and Insomniac delivered the goods -- fun, exciting, great balance in weapons and controls, and crackerjack voice acting and some wicked humor. Just a blast to play and replay. I find it difficult to imagine they screwed up the entire game.
