TGS07: Secret Agent Clank hands-on

Sony revealed a brand new game at its pre-TGS media event. Unfortunately, it was a game we all knew was coming: Secret Agent Clank, a new PSP continuation of the popular Ratchet & Clank series. First accidentally leaked on the musician's resume, and then accidentally confirmed to PSP Fanboy by a developer, the existence of Secret Agent Clank was ironically not very secret at all.The brief hands-on time we had with the game highlighted gameplay that strays far from what series fans have become accustomed to. The first part had Clank jumping through laser grids while pressing buttons in a music-based rhythm game that very closely resembles PaRappa the Rapper. The next area showed platforming as Clank, sans Ratchet. Finally, we encountered a boss where we finally got to play as Captain Quark. Like another green-plad video game character, he uses a vacuum gun to suck trash and projectiles and throw it back to the enemy.
The visuals were on par with the previous Ratchet & Clank title from High Impact Games. The game still has a long way to go, and will not be present at Tokyo Game Show this year.

I still haven't found the time to finish the first one yet. But I love this series and I'm happy that its coming.

I don't think a game souley with Clank would be that fun unless they made it so he could do more stuff like have guns. By the looks of it though he may this time.
I don't understand why people are having a hard time beating it. My first time through I beat it in 6 hours.

while we're on the subject, WTF happened to the PSFancast? might answer where PS Fanboy Wallpapers, Ask PSP Fanboy, PSP Fanboy Theater, and PSP Fan Art Fridays went. Is there any feature that is going to return?
