The focus of the singleplayer is platforming, the focus of the online is a  turf based third person shooter. 

Ratchet & Clank has vast open levels with enemies to beat up. There's very little platforming in those games. If you think Ratchet & Clank is a platformer I advise you to 100% DKC: TF with just DK.


you do an awful lot of jumping to and from platforms in ratchet and clank. they've expanded on it and made it more fun. Is super mario galaxy not a platformer because you have planets you go to and run around?

This is platforming.

The "platforming" in Ratchet & Clank is pretty standard stuff. If I had to review this game as a platformer it wouldn't get high scores. I didn't die once while playing Into the Nexus.

Even Zelda, which doesn't even have a jump button, has platforming in it. You do an awful lot of jumping to and from platforms in Metroid, but no one calls it a platformer.

I play R & C for the crazy gadgets/weapons and gorgeous visuals. Mindless fun really. But platforming? Nah, I'll play something else then. ;)
