Review: Ratchet & Clank 3 on the Sony PlayStation 2 rocks! Having played the previous R&C games and being totally addicted to their cartoony, tongue in cheek graphics and the genuinely funny cut scenes, I couldn't wait to buy it.
The game doesn't mess with the formula of the other games, which is definitely a good thing, who cares about originality when you have such an excellent basis for a game?
The graphics are top notch, with bright colourful scenery, well rendered characters, and smooth cut scenes...
My fave bits are the new weapons, I'd recommend the disc-gun and the agents of doom, nothing better than blasting unaware enemies into oblivion with your own army of cutesy but deadly robot assasins. The secret costumes you can unlock are cool too, I love playing as James Bond Ratchet, though having to find 6 titanium bolts for each costume is a bit of a bummer!
The storyline is good fun, with the inimitable Captain Quark, and his one eyed monkey sidekick providing plenty of laughs, as well as Dr Nefarious and Lawrence hamming it up on the evil side.
The only downside to the game is that I finished the missions very quickly, the only bits that gave me any trouble were the boss fights, and some occassionally tricky platform jumping. But with the multi-player mode and the chance to go back and get more trophies and bolts, I'll be playing it for a while longer.
I'd recommend this to any gamer who likes quirky humour combined with quick fire shoot em up action and some fighter pilot missions. I think older kids would get most out of this, as it requires quick reflexes, and some brainpower to work out the best strategies. |
