User Rating: 8.5 | Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction PS3
Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction is the duos debut on the PS3, and it is indeed a fun and enjoyable one. The gameplay isn't exactly much new, but it still remains fun. It's your typical 3d platformer done very well. There are some very nice graphics in this game, along with some fun gameplay which is easy to get used to. There is also some good use of the Sixaxis controls here that work well within the gameplay and don't take long to get used to. Like the other R&C games there is a wide array of imaginitive weapons that are alot of fun to use, believe me when I say that you won't find more creative weaponary anywhere else! One of my personal favorites was The Grooveatron, a projectile weapon that stuns enemies by launching a disco ball into the air and forcing your surrounding enemies to get down and dance. The story keeps you intrested and wanting to know more, it's hardly anyting mind blowing but it's certinaly a good one. The ending was one hell of a cliff hanger that made me want to get my hands on the next R&C game even sooner. Now bad parts of the game include a kind of short story, there is replay value but it isn't exactly appealing. Some sections of the game can be relatively challenging, where the level design poses no real way to get over these challenges without putting yourself directly in the way of danger. But then the gameplay can become very easy, large sections of the game didn't feel as though they where balanced enough. Other than that the game is alot of fun and one of the best exclusive games the PS3 has to offer, a game that newcomers to the series and long time fans should find easy to enjoy.
