Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I myself happen to be a casual gamer who from time to time will buy a game that looks good.I first rented R&C to see if it was worth a look and it turned out to be a really fun game.
Ratchet and Clank is essentially just another platformer, but it's a truly exceptional platformer.Ratchet is a fun character to use, he can whack enemies and various objects with his wrench or use a nice diverse amount of weapons that you obtain along the way.Gameplay for the most part ramps up from easy to difficult keeping that frustration in check, not to mention that you have infinite lives.The gameplay itself is fun with paths branching into different areas on each planet you explore.Environments and graphics are well rendered and creative and the varied enemies will ensure that you'll test out the best possibilities for each weapon.
All of this could describe several platformers but R&C one-ups them all by having some of the best voice-over work I've heard on a video game.From Ratchet's cocky attitude to Drek's villainous banter, it gives the proceedings a true cartoonish feel.The animation is nice and fluid with some truly hilarious cutscenes in between missions.Even the story, with its take on another villain trying to be ruler, has a different spin than normal.Drek's homeworld is dying so he's having other planets mined and destroyed to compensate.
Of course it would be remiss to omit the faults in the game.The one thing I really wish they could have fixed was the awkward switching of weapons.80% of the time it won't really be a problem.But then when you need to bring out the swingshot or metal detector, for example, you need to go to a subscreen and choose it.Also a problem is when you're under fire, you can't pause and switch weapons.Really annoying!There are some control issues too.Narrow platforms can be hard to traverse sometimes.It's especially noticable when you're using the magnetic boots.Although I am surprised the camera isn't a major problem.Just hit the L1 button and it lines up behind you.There's no problems with getting disoriented either since you can access the map to see where you are and where you need to go.
For the avid gamer, there's also hidden golden bolts to find in each level.I've only been able to find a few on my own (such is the curse of the casual gamer), but it gives anyone looking for more challenges even more to do.
I highly recommend Ratchet and Clank for anyone looking for a fun platformer.It may not be the most innovative game out there, but it's a highly polished and stylish one.
