Ugh, I think you REALLY need to play the PS2 trilogy before tackling the PS3 games of R&C. I'm hoping they rerelease them in HD soon because those games where amazing. TBH, my least favorite of the entire series is Tools of Destruction (which is the one being offered, I think) because it's so plot-heavy that unless you're already committed to the story from previous games... it fails.
