The Ratchet and Clank series have always been great games, but in terms of gameplay, still hasn't changed a great deal.
However, if you've ever played the previous games, you'll notice that the gameplay has barely changed from the original Ratchet and Clank on the PS2.
That sort of makes sense. If you have a good game, you won't try and completely change it, you'll just try and tweak it a little.
But I really wish they had tried to completely change it.
The game is all easy, the only real challenges coming near the end of the game, and if you decide to play a second time on the harder difficulty of "Challenge Mode." The storyline could have been developed into something serious, but is often let down with childish comic humour. The guns are interesting, the gameplay is fun- but it always has been.
And it does make you think. This is the next-generation of gaming, you'd have thought they could have changed something.
To be honest, I wanted to see a whole lot of difference to the series. I wanted Ratchet to be taller, more battle-hardened, with scars, and talk harder, you know, like Solid Snake. I wanted Clank to have changed as well, and to be use then he was, like actually being able to transform into a giant robot that he did in earlier games, and the whole disco-gadgets and penguin transformers didn't really do it for me.
But then again, the game is set at a young audience, and I'm sure, if I was seven, I'd adore the game and have given it a ten.
The game itself is very fun, and it is interesting how they've tried to incorporate the SIXAXIS, but it doesn't always work out very well, sometimes proving more frustrating than anything.
Seeing as a lot more impressive games are coming out in near the end of the year, if you haven't bought this game already, I'd recommend just putting it on hold and saving it up for something else that you might prefer.
