Very Good

Pretty good, but not quite great

Ratchet and Clank has been one of my favorite series for about 10 years. This one isn't on the same level as the first 3 and the 2 full length ps3 ones, however it is not as bad as deadlocked or size matters.

Gameplay: It's good, but it could and should be better. The cameras are fixed and this can be annoying. I'm used to the right analog stick to adjust the camera but instead this is how you change weapons.
Since you fight alongside clank you can't hover, which just feels weird in a Ratchet and Clank game. The AI in the single player is alright, however it can be frustrating. Clank (who plays side by side with you) can get stuck or not fulfil his task needed for the puzzle. This game is also completely linear (though you can choose what level and chapter you want to play).

Graphics- Eh, the cut scenes look pretty great, and some parts of the game do too but overall I wasn't too impressed. They were also very cartoony, which all R and C games are, but this one especially. I think the Future Ratchet games looked a little better.

Weapons- Unfortunately nothing too special, but nothing bad either. There was nothing too new here. Just different versions of weapons we've already seen. They also all have only 3 power ups so they are very attainable. I was a little disappointed with the RYNO as well, it was pretty much handed to you.

Replay value, I personally feel like this doesn't have much replay value, especially single player. Since gamefly doesn't provide an online code, and the playstation store has not released it I haven't tried online.

The game was still fun. Despite the cons of the game it is entertaining, and if you like other Ratchet games you'll find some good parts in this one. Single player on normal mode, exploring about as much as possible took me about 8 hours. It's not the best R and C game, but it's definitely not the worst.

Good, But Could Have Been So Much More...

: : OVERVIEW : : : : : :
I've been a huge fan of R & C since the beginning, and is one of the most-loved series I've ever played. I was a bit itchy about Ratchet & Clank becoming a party game, but I thought I'd give it a go anyway. Let's break it down...

: : PROS : : : : : :
- Great graphics, things carry the cartoonish-feel of the series but still look nice and smoothe
- Hilarious lines and quirky moments that make the series awesome lol
- Unique weapons staple of the series
- Jetpack and downhill sequences are pretty fun

: : CONS : : : : : :
- Some of the gameplay feels repetitive after a while
- Not NEARLY enough grind-rail sessions lol
- Character dialogue is annoyingly heavy with advocating teamwork
- If you switch characters mid-game, you start over with no EXP or money, which makes later stages in the game impossible
- Teamwork mechanic is aggravating when you're stuck with a dumb teammate
- No armor or nanotech upgrades, same health the whole game

: : FINAL WORD : : : : : :
I love Ratchet & Clank, and I still will, but I felt like this game kinda dropped the ball. I'm a big fan of cooperative gameplay, but you should do it via splitscreen or online, not mushing four people into the same screen - it just doesn't work well here (vs a game like Champions of Norath where it does).

This game could've been a great title if it was done outside of the party-based format, but I guess we'll have to wait to see if the next game learns to do it better or stay away entirely (the better option in my opinion)

Disappointing, but not damning. I'd call it a 'RENT'.

I have played every single Ratchet and Clank game made thus far and I must say this title is right in the middle of the pack as far as best of the series. It added a new flair with the multiplayer portion of the which I unfortunately never got to experience (not with a human player). I can definitely see where playing with another human player would make this game much more fun then the single player mode. The game has a great story and was surprisingly much longer then I had originally thought. The story length is on pair with Deadlocked and has a much deeper story then that game did though. The weapons were a lot of fun but this time around the variety seemed to be much less then the previous games. The camera angle is exteremely annoying this time around, no longer can you pan the camera around as you wish, you have a fixed camera angle which sometimes causes issues with being able to see characters or boxes easily. The mini game is pretty fun however it seemed a little to easy (for the RYNO parts). The replay value is definitely there however the fact you can't fast forward any cut scenes is a severe oversight in my opinion and the saves are on a level basis not checkpoint which makes it difficutl and annoying to try and gain the in game achievements. Overall if your a Ratchet fan you will enjoy this title a lot however if your new to the series, I would say probably skip it and play the other PS2/PS3 Ratchet games first before dabbling with this change of pace game.
