 Just so flat and uninspired August 12, 2010
Stephen
Well, thats quite unfair but this is just retreading old ground, the plot doesn't have the hooks of the old games, and the weapons and planets tend to be rehashes done better earlier in the series. I could say that the first 3 Ratchet games were made just for me I loved them so much, but theres a lack of creativity here, not in a desperate sense but in a dissapointing none the less way.
This is Ratchet by numbers, the kind of game you arn't too sure is by the same company, it's no disaster, but it certainly worried enough fans the series was going stale (before CIT came to move the series along)
Incidently don't get this one, either get Ratchet and Clank 1 and work up or get A Crack in Time then jump back to the start. This is the footnote title of the series and a great studios biggest misstep in years.
 Exellent! August 9, 2010

The Ratchet and clank games still fascinate me. Superb sound and graphics and one of those games that makes use of every button on the Six-Axis controller including the movement.

Bought this as I had bought A Crack In Time and really enjoyed it.
It is not quite as good from a graphics, control interface or story line perspective.
If you are really into it then ok you will enjoy it, it is a 'good' game and certainly worth the money on the platinum range.
If you have played the newer game you will be a bit dissapointed though. If you haven't buy it, enjoy it, and then buy A Crack In Time.Ratchet & Clank: A Crack In Time (PS3)
Tools of destruction July 11, 2010
Luke Thrower
Ratchet and Clank was one of the biggest titles for the ps2 and so I was very excited when I saw a new installment was coming out for the next gen console. This is the sixth game in the series and part of the "future" brand that the games series has taken on.
Ratchet and Clank are a duo who travel the universe helping people out in need, theres no real big story that runs throughout the franchise but every game is a little different whils keeping the core ideas the same.
Ratchet is a mechanic on a space station and Clank is a robot. You generally spend your time controlling Ratchet but every now and again their is a handful of missions in the game where you are Clank.
The game is a 3rd person shooter, set in a 3D world with a lot of platforming to move around the levels. Their is also a slight role-play element as you upgrade weapons and gadgets, all of which have their own unique feel adding to the personality of the game.
The basic plot of Tools of destruction is that, whilst Ratchet is working on his bike he gets a message from the rather hilarious captain Qwark, he sounds distressed and so Ratchet and Clank set out ot help him. When they reach the city they see that the evil Emperor Tachyon has launches a massive attack using robots and so our heroes have no option but ot retreat. Whilst getting a plan together, small robots called Zoni visit Clank telling him he must help Ratchet, these were a little strange and remind me of Kazoo in the Flintsones. So with a plan set and help from a few freinds Ratchet and Clank set out to save the world.....
You start the game with a basic weapon in Ratchet's Omniwrench, this is used for melee and is relatively useful, new weapons can be picked up in the level or by completeing missions and upgrading. This provides good progression as you always feel as though you are working towards something and not aimlessly following the story.
Shooting weapons should be used sparingly though as you don't have unlimited ammo, this is good because it makes it more realistic as well as keeping the level of excitement high when their are big amounts of enemies on screen.
Ratchet also likes his gadgets and these come in the form of Grind boots , which let you grind along rails to get to the next area, or a Swingshot which is really useful for grappling. All the gadgets in the game handle smoothly and mean theirs a bit of variety to the platforming and shooting which is a bit generic.
But my favorite thing are the Devices, one in particular is the Groovitron. This releases a disco ball into the air causing the enemies to break into an individual dance , letting you beat them easier. These cant be used all the time , but it is a great joke in the game and helps keep the mood lite.
Sixasis is implemented in the game for a few sections in which you control Clank to fly, this is a little difficult to begin with but is fun afterwards. It's clear that it has been put in just too show it off and the game wouldn't have struggled without it. Similarly with the inclusion of vibration in the controller, whilst it adds to the atmosphere this is almost a tech demo for the ps3 and all it can do.
Another unfortunate change is that I found myself fighting with the camera somewhat , which never happend in the previous games. It's not as bad as some games but can still be a little annoying.
As well as the main story levels use also have a string of mini-games , these include bike races, combat and puzzles. These add a bit of longevity and whilst their not great they are a nice addition, they run smooth and are quite fun.
Graphically the game is very good, being one of the first titles out for the ps3 back in 2007 it showed off what the console was capable of, their are a few sections which really make your mouth drop at the amount of wonderful detail and craftmaship of the busy world. Some area's are best described by saying they resemble the city scape in Robot's, the city is full of bustling traffic flying through the air and their is always more than one thing going on , on screen.
Colours are vivid and pop out of the screen, the character designs are smooth and have a nice cartoony style whilst looking realistic.
Weapons all have an individual look and the collectibles on the ground can be seen from far off making it easy to collect them.
The sound isn't only used to build atmosphere but also for comedy, during some pirate sections it takes playful jibes at pirates of the carribean.
The soundtrack is good keeping everything up beat as well as tense in some places.
The Groovetron throws out a funky disco tune, which doesn's surprise me to see the enemy forgot about the fighting and just want to boogy.
As a whole the game is comfortable to control and easy to pick up and play, whilst it may be aimed at younger players this game is not childish and so wouldn't feel out of place in a hardcore gamers collection. The lock on system is well done and means there is a good mix of skill and ease to shooting the enemies, the jumping is well weighted meaning it is easy to judge a distance and not plummet to your death because the character feels floaty.
One addition I would have liked to have seen would be multiplayer, considering Ratchet and Clank are running around together all the time it would have been nice to have the other player controlled by a mate, either offline or online with a drop in - drop out style. But maybe thats something for a later title.
Theres around 30 hours of gameplay here to get everything out of the game, their isn't much replay value but it is a nice title. A demo is available on PSN.
