Well, I'm sure most of the MTV audience cared.

I still haven't played it much, I'm sorry to say.

I'll get around to it.

But with HL2, KOTOR II, RE4, FM4, LOZ: TMC, and Rome: TW how in the world am I going to find time?

It takes longer to get going than.. Going... Commmando....

But when it gets a hold of you it won't let go until Nefarious is scrap under the might of your Upped Arsenal. BTW, I just realized that the story is gonna lose about 90% of it's impact if you haven' played the first two games.

My point exactly.

You could probably find both of them for fairly cheap, though. I believe they'be both become greatest hits.

I could probably find the first one at eb for 12 bucks.

The first one starts out fairly platformer-ish, but gets to the difficult parts about midway through the game.

The second one maintains a blistering difficulty all the way through, and the third one is even harder. Truthfully, the main characeter, if defined by who goes through the most profound changes, is Captain Quark, and not Rachet or Clank.

Isn't he the guy with the side-scroller levels?

Yeah.

They detail his 'heroic' history. But to understand the way Rachet and Clank react to Quark, you have to know what he did in the first two games. Plus the entire cast of characters save for the President and his daughter (and the villains) are from the first game.

So the second game really didn't introduce anything new?

It takes place in a different galaxy, but plot points for the third game and several of the weapons and gameplay elements are introduced, especially weapon upgrading and small planetoids.

Let's just say then ending of UYA loses some of it's impact if you haven't played the first two.

Light how tight or loose they are? I'd say for some of the stuff they're pretty good, other times they're a bit floaty.
