[zionoverfire]

Yippe, wait 6 months and I'll be $20

[PapiChullo]

I loved the first one, and I just ordered Going Commando when it dropped. I can't wait to get it and play it.

[javeryh]

yeah, I've got so many games to play that this will be $15 at BB by the time I get around to it...

[CaseyRyback]

I knew this game was going to be awesome. Going to try and get it after Christmas (want to beat more games before I get more).

if you play online, this game is going to be a killer app for PS2 online

[msdmoney]

Looks great but I still have the first two sealed and waiting to be played. I will get this when it drops.

[rockhero]

The Ratchet and Clank series is the most fun thing on this current generation of consoles in my opinion. Absolutely amazing games.

[jalu6]

i love this series, but i must wait until christmas. and it will probably be $20 in about 10-11 months, because thats how long it took the first one to go down in price.

[willardhaven]

I can't wait for this game, I think I'm going to pick it up before Christmas... I'll wait for Jak 3 and Metroid Prime2.

6 months and it will be a GH. I'll think about picking it up then.

[greendj27]

I've never played the first, but I loved the second. One of my favorite games. I can't wait for this. I tried the demo and loved it.

It won't go GH until Sept.

and by then most of the people who played it online will be gone

That's one of the biggest problems with console online gaming. The audience for each game lasts only a couple of months, compared to PC games where people are still playing 7 year old games like CounterStrike. Than again, PC has a much larger user base than any online capable console. I hope this problem is remedied in the future.

Yeah, but I probably wouldn't even play it online. Too many other games holdin my intrest. Halo 2, Half-Life 2, GTA:SA, Kingdom Under Fire, Pokemon Leaf Green (gotta catch 'em all), Animal Crossing. No time to play.

[swetooth9]

yea, i hate that about console online games... :(

[David85]

I'm sure it is a great game, looks great but IGN PS2 people are HUGELY over do their games.

[CaseyRyback]

you are thinking of the Xbox section.

This game actually delivers the goods from what I played. Probably going to be the best console online game this year

[swetooth9]

looks great! :D im gonna get it just dont know when..hmm...

i like the multiplayer mode since it reminds me of my fav mode of ut2k4, onslaught :D

Are you serious? :D Then you think the 99 that GTA:SA got was right on, are a bit hyped?

I am sure there are others, but compare the GS score with the IGN score to see what I mean. I do not care for GTA, but GS gave it a 9.6 and others have been prone to give it 10's.

[sblymnlcrymnl]

I may pick it up when it hits GH, not too interested right now.

You're absolutely right. The PS2 and Cube sections are actually surprisingly even-handed, which is why although I'm so surprised by those scores, they still carry some weight. I don't care for the GTA games, but I've always thought R&C beat the pants off the other Sony "mascots," so I might have been tempted to pick up "Up Your Arsenal." Alas, there's some xbox game coming out soon that has dibs on my online time. If only I could remember the game... it's something low-profile...

If you doubt IGN, there's always gamerankings.com ...

6 months this, 6 months that.

If the first R&C took 11 months to drop and the second R&C took 11 to drop, any clue as to how long it'll take this one to drop (think carefully and the answer will come)?

Beginning of Nov. to end of Sept.

11 months is about right
