Reviewers have been knocking it for being the same old Ratchet and Clank, but after my 22 hour+ game play session, I have to say I wholeheartedly disagree. Now, here we are, another year, and another Ratchet and Clank title, A Crack in Time, which is the conclusion to the current “Future” series arc, and answers quite a few questions regarding the pasts of both Ratchet and Clank, and boy is it a ride.īefore I begin, I’d like to get something off of my chest that’s been bothering me about the way ACIT has been received. Some loved it, others loathed it for what it removed from the R&C franchise, despite it’s smaller, downloadable only package. The game was received with mixed results. The platform heavy game nixed all things planet hopping, as well as the heavy emphasis on weapons and upgrading that the series was known for, although they did expand on Ratchet’s Omni-wrench by adding a tether grappling mechanic.

Of course, with that adherence to what has come before, the game garnered a lot of criticism for playing it so safe.Ģ008’s PSN download only Ratchet and Clank Future: Quest for Booty removed Clank from the scenario and focused solely on Ratchet and a mini-tale involving his search for his missing friend. It truly was Ratchet and Clank from the PS2 days on the PS3, in glorious HD. The visuals, the humor, the story and game play were polished to a fine sheen.
