Last year's R&C: Size Matters was a hit on Sony's PSP so it's no surprise that the gang responsible for churning out a stellar game, does it again with the lovable sidekick Clank in his very own standalone adventure; aptly titled "Secret Agent Clank". No doubt fans of the series will find lots to love in this new addition with clever, inventive gadgets, damsels in distress, and wickedly powerful supervillains wrapped in spoof ala James Bond. Clank's got a few new moves in his arsenal like executing combo attacks, riding vehicles, and even puzzle elements topped with great graphics and stellar voice acting. David Kaye is SUPERB as the lovable robot. I couldn't help but notice the comparison's to C-3PO because their speech and mannerisms seem eerily close. Perhaps that was to be expected when the first game came out. In terms of atmosphere,the PSP's bag of tricks give off impressive special effects like reflection mapping, lighting effects, and more. Even some familiar faces from R&C lore make guest appearances; even with their own side games thrown in. However, like the previous game, multi-player is still weak in comparison to other action games on the PSP but on the upside there's loads of unlockable goodies from alternate costumes and artwork among others. To put simply, Secret Agent Clank is a great addition to your PSP library.
Highly recommended!!!
