 Ratchet and Clank : Crack in time July 22, 2010
Luke Thrower
Ratchet and Clank : Crack in time carries directly over from the previous title Tools of destruction ( Feel free to check out my review ) and its add on Quest for booty.
Released in 2009 it keeps the platform and shooting gameplay aspect with a simple puzzle element for a bit of variety.
As was the end of the last game, Clank has been captured and taken away by Dr Nefarious and Ratchet sets out to try and find him. Of course this all part of a much bigger scheme for Nefarious and so many challanges , twists and turns await Ratchet as he tries to save his freind but also finds out about where the duo have come from, as well as where they are going in the future.
The story runs along at a nice enough pace for a Ratchet and Clank game, it is one of the more emotional stories in the series as the question sorounding the game is wether the duo are meant to be toghether or wether this is where their paths split. It is intresting and engaging right to the end and probably my favorite storyline of the series.
Ratchet has a new gadget to accompany his wrench, new hoverboots allow you to fly about the level and give you more freedom to explore. However while these do let you travel higher and are more exciting, you can still expect to be hitting the invisible walls.
Ratchet can also set off in his ship to investigate moons and other planets, but these planets often are just for collecting or small challenges which add little to the game except a gimmick.
Clank has the less exciting ability to stop time, via his Chronosceptor. This can also be used as a melee weapon in the same way has Ratchet's wrench from previous games.
In addition to this Clank can use "time pads", these are a weird bit of equipment and resemble the holographic images in star wars. What time pads allow Clank to do is record upto a minute of movement and then the holograph repeatedly plays out that action, letting you do somethings else. This is used quite a bit in puzzles and I struggled to get my head around it at first as it isn't a simple system, upto 4 can be on the go at the same time and its hard to keep track of what the individual one is doing.
The usual array of weapons and upgrading remains with you now being able to upgrade the handeld weapons as well as Ratchets ship, although you never get into much combat to make it worth upgrading the ship. In terms of handheld weapons you now have "Constructo weapons" in 3 areas, pistol, shotgun and bomb. These weapons can be built up and modified in numerous ways and offers a more individual experience when playing through, some of the designs and styles you can make are really cool and make you want to change the weapn around to see what other looks it has.
New weapons to the series include spikes which can be thrown on the ground to electrocute close by enemies, a shockwave weapon where an alien screams out and breaks anything within range. Finally there is the dynamo of doom which makes use of the sixasis, it's a big ball of energy which you guide around the level and is suitably menacing for clearing big groups.
As you travel through the game you are shown well designed levels in a multitude of areas such as , deserts, jungles, canyons, mines and futuristic citys to name a few. This gives a grand sense of scale to the game and feels as though you are going on a big journey across the universe, you actually get to travel to the great clock at one point, which is situated right at the centre of the universe.
Birds flying and plants blowing in the wind give a sense of realism and environment and lets you feel like you are part of something bigger than just your own story.
The combat is as smooth and exciting as the previous titles and keeps the same destroy and collect mechanics, you do find yourself battling only a handful of enemies throughout the game and as you notice this more and more it's a little annoying.
The contols are easy to pick up and get used to meaning it is fun for any ages to get involved, all the usual button combinations are in this like R1 to shoot and X to jump. The responce is really good and things happen almost instantly, whats more is the games camera manages to hold the 3rd person perspective well and doesn't continually lead you off edges.
The game has a nice polish over the whole design, it's all bright and textured with vibrant colours. The character designs are the same but the environments are re-worked and looking better than ever.
Cut-scenes are funny as well as informative, with my favorite use being when you get a new weapon. Unboxing it gives you a video from the makers , Grummelnet, and these are hilarious as it mixes wit and information about how to use it.
The same voice actors are in this game so it has a good continuity from the previous titles, one thing I would of liked was more of a soundtrack, as it meant the game lacked a little added atmosphere at times.
The combat and noise of weapons is clear and exciting, drawing you into the game as the fighting becomes more ferocious. Explosions are suitably loud and feel as though they have an impact, the noise of jets flying overhead isn't too shabby either.
A good 30-40 hours available for collecting everything and seeing all their is to offer.
Amazing July 20, 2010

The latest Ratchet and Clank has all the things from the previous games that made the game good: cool guns, funny characters, good story and excellent controls. They have also added few new features. Time manipulation is cool and my favourite is recording the movements for Clank. Those were fun and few of the last ones were quite hard.
Superlative gaming experience - pure fun, no frustration May 31, 2010

There's so much positive that can be said about this game - the humor, the graphics, the voice acting, the diversity of gameplay, etc. - but the most important to me is that it's easy to play and really, really fun. With a busy work and travel schedule I have maybe an hour once every couple of weeks where I can sit down and play for a bit, and what's so great about R&C is that you can flip it on, beat the next section, quest for treasure, go for a record at the battleplex, or myriad other activities - and you don't have to spend any time trying to figure out where it is you left that thingamabob, and what you need to do to get that door to open...so it's instant gaming gratification pure and simple. Play for an hour, do whatever you fancy, have a blast, and pick up where you left off a few weeks later. Try that with, say, Dragon's Age or another quest/adventure/rpg game (massive endeavours with massively delayed gratification - I suppose I lose patience with games a lot faster than in the TI-99 or Nintendo days...)
Huge respect for the developers, just outstanding stuff.
I thought this was better than I ever imagined May 26, 2010

Bought this for the other half after trying it on a demo. This is far better than I thought it would be and find myself playing it.....keep getting told off for completing 'her game'.
The recording of multiple selves made my head hurt a bit and was an interesting quirk I have not seen before.
Slick smooth graphics and some amusing commentary go along way. I think the guns upgrades are cool, particularly the one that sounds like a belching fish.
In fact I liked it so much I bought Tools of Destruction.
Never gonna get 5 stars from me though as it is not COD.
