(continued from previous page) ...mini-games do act as a means of passing some time from the main game itself, they do not ultimately provide an overall compelling experience.

The multiplayer in Size Matters is mostly objective based with minimal variety between each mode. The options are limited to only split-screen two players, and the game rarely works properly with two teams of one. Playing co-op isn’t as fun as it may sound, and merely consists of completing an assortment of disperate tasks with little to no reward. Along with the mini-games, it is just not a fantastic, thrilling way to pass some time from the main game.

Lastly, in addition to what has been mentioned thus far, there are the memorable glitches that the game holds so dearly from time to time. Ratchet and Clank: Size Matter’s audio often cuts out completely preceding a cutscene but the most obnoxious part of the game comes during some of the platform elements. You’ll come a cross a moment where Ratchet locates a platform, only for you to discover that pushing backwards on the analogue stick actually sends you forwards, resulting in Ratchet plummeting over the edge to his death. It is unexplainable occurrences such as this that you begin to realise just what an unforgivable travesty Size Matters can ultimately be.
