Instructions not included

I came across a couple bugs and design problems while playing today. First, when I started exploring the Lombax home world I spotted a path off to the side, so I followed it up and found a space ship repair part at the end. I was a bit confused as to what it was for until I went back to the start and just a few feet past the path was a cut-scene where Ratchet finds a broken ship and decides to repair it, but he needs 6 parts. They really should have arranged it so you could not get to the parts without first knowing why you need them.

Next design issue was in a part where I controlled Clank on his own. The section starts with 3 robot like floating aliens greeting him and saying they will help. Then i find myself stuck in the room with no way out and the only abilities Clank seems to have is a levitate option and to slow down time, neither are helpful. Turns out that Clank has an option when he's near the aliens so that they follow him around like Pikmin, but that is never told to the layer and I had to find it out by trial and error. The first time I was in the room I thought that the game had glitched and the next section didn't load right, this was backed upped by the fact that when I stood on a high rock and jumped all the textures on the ground would turn white.

After that section though things went smoother and I was able to collect up all the rocket parts and fixed the ship, so now I am free to travel to any of the planets I have been to before, or to go on to the next planet where an obvious trap awaits.
