Played the game a lot as a kid back in 05 on the PS2 and started playing again on PCSX2 years later; good weapons, story, etc. It would be cool to have all of the Ratchet & Clank games on GOG.

I remember as a young kid I missed a lot of my schooling. To pass the time I often played Ratchet & Clank 3 Up Your Arsenal. I used to try and speedrun it before I knew what speedrunning really was just to see how quickly I could smash out the game. In the save/load menu theres a little counter next to your name showing how many times you have NG+ and I used to be able to finish the campaign 1 and a half times during the day inbetween watching cartoons on TV so by the time I put R&C3 away and moved onto other games I had 102 NG+ on one save. I was (and am) a fiend for PS2 R&C so I am glad PCSX2 has picked up the slack where Insomniac and Sony have failed. I hope one day they will fix this in the future and release a DRM-free PC port.
