This game kept me entertained for about 5 hours, end-to-end. Note, there are NO times where Ratchet/Clank work together, so Ratchet plays the same as in Deadlocked. The weapons for Ratchet are sorta iffy/goofy, and the levels are very "arena" style - no exploration. The Clank sections feel awkward, a la something out of the Sly Cooper series. Also, the Clank fights are all button sequences. In many cases, if you screw up a single button press you'll get to restart that entire section.
The movies and cut scenes were "meh", not really all that funny or interesting. The final boss was hard WAY out of proportion to the rest of the game, and the few double entendres sprinkled through the game sorta fell flat. I couldn't get interested in skill points or gold bolts, so while I collected the ones I could (or accidentally) they didn't hold the appeal of the extras in previous games.
Still, Secret Agent Clank had enough story and challenge that I played it all the way through. For the price I think it was a good gaming value and I would still recommend it to everyone who appreciated the rest of the series - as a RENTAL... Of all the games I've played so far in the series, for me this one falls just below Size Matters.
Now, I just need to buy a PS3 so I can try the R&C Future games...
