[QUOTE="da_illest101"] I was asking myself the same thing. UnrealLegend
Crack was weak. I don't know why Insomniac feel they need to justify Clank's name in the title, it's never as fun as the Ratchet gameplay. I will admit the puzzles were smart, but I always wished I was playing as Ratchet. Then there were all those ship segments. Oh lord. They were OK, but it was a pain flying between planets and all the moons in between were relatively uninteresting. They could have been so much more. There's the missed potential. Worst of all the space gameplay broke the flow between the planets. The planets also felt less inspired in Crack, and it felt like there were less of them. In addition, the story was the weakest in the entire series (except QFB and Deadlocked, but those don't count as much). Nefarious should not have been used again, when was the last time a defeated villian was used again and turned out better the second time. It was reminiscent of Jak 3 where Errol returned. Ugh.
I don't know why people look at Crack as the best Ratchet yet. The best one was either UYA or GC, maybe ToD, but definitely not Crack. I know this may seem stupid, but there was way too much variety. I don't want Clank segments populating the game left and right. I don't want ship segments. I want pure, uncut Ratchet gameplay.
Seriously? Despite the plot holes, CiT easily has the most memorable story of the series. And Nefarious made the game about 3 times better, being one of the greatest characters in existence.
I agree about the space sections though. They were beyond tedious.
But this plot was carried for 3 games, through tools, Q4B, and Crack. To bring back a villian we already defeated felt weak weak weak. I love Nefarious, but are you telling me he was better in Crack than UYA? All those segments where he broke and Lawrence had to slap him, or his agenda towards 'Squishies' which actually made the plot. To bring it back... I expect more from the franchise and Insomniac. Besides, look at Tacheon in Tools, always overcompensating for his tiny pathetic stature, feeling compelled to take his birthright the lombaxes stole from him and disrespected by raising him as one of them. He was a much better villian than Nefarious in Crack. Nefarious is my favorite Villian in the series, but that's all because of UYA, Insomniac should have come up with a new original villian and it would have been much better.
Also, I'll say the story is the weakest because I remember it so faintly. I can practically read the whole story of the first 3 games and Tools of the top of my head. Cracked, I barely remember what took you where, which is sad seeing as it should be the freshest in my mind.
