Game review: Ratchet & Clank Future

March 3, 2008

Just finished Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction for the Playstation 3. I was really looking forward to the game after it was announced, and received it as a birthday gift from Eric and Sundee. This was the fourth game in the series — the first three were for the Playstation 2. As expected, the graphics were excellent, very bright, cartoonish, and high-definition. Game play was pretty similar to the previous games in the series, so there wasn’t really anything too new or innovative about it. Overall it was fun, but not one of my favorites. If this was the first game in the series, or if I hadn’t played the other ones previously, it would probably have ranked higher, but since I’ve seen (and played) almost the same game before, I can’t give it a top rating. If you haven’t played the other games, it’s definitely worth playing, though you’ll miss out on lots of the back plot and characters.
