* [[Rescued From the Scrappy Heap]]: Surprisingly, [[The Hero|Ratchet]] was disliked by many critics in the first game due to his [[Wangst]] and [[Jerkass|Jerkassiness]]. However, from the second game onward, he [[Took a Level In Kindness]] and [[Deadpan Snarker|snarkiness]]. The [[The Other Darrin|switch]] from Mikey Kelley to [[James Arnold Taylor]] certainly helped.
* [[Scenery Porn]]: Each planet from ''Going Commando'' onwards begins with the camera positioned to make a striking tableau of the starting area.
** The very first ''trailer'' for ''Tools of Destruction'' was nothing more than the camera showing off HD, [[Play StationPlayStation 3]]-era Metropolis before panning to show the Ratchet & Clank logo on a blimp.
* [[Sequelitis]]: Surprisingly few claims of this given that, if spin-offs are counted, there have been 9 games in the past 7 years.
* [[That One Boss]]: The battle against the Thugs 4 Less Leader on Snivelak in ''Going Commando'' is this for many people - it's not so much that it's difficult, but it takes forever to go down. Your normal weapons aren't very effective, forcing you to run around the city looking for turrets with which to whittle down his health - all the while shooting down his bombs - before he comes and destroys your turret after a certain amount of time has elapsed. Which is why smart players hide around a corner and kill the Thug Leader with spider/tank bots.
