Good, but No Sly Cooper. But close. But this teams best game is still maybe Pychonauts.

Ill make this fast. Platform's are few and good. In my quest to play ever last gen game. Im on this one. And have played all RandC's but this one. It lives up to what the series has shown. The controls are solid. The characters are great. The story is funny and kinda innovated. And the weapons are just sick good. And some downright strange as always. But you'll find yourself needing about half of them. And having 2 or so that you stick to most of the time. But the others do come in play here and their. The game has to be placed as more of a action adventure/cartoon style game "as a lot of platformers are now." And I really did not play any of these in the last Gen, because I was playing other stuff. And the word Platformer, kinda threw me off. Now that I have went back "while waiting for the true next gen to start." i found out these games are some of the best of the last Gen. But these games are not just jump and hop and whatever, in words that dont make sense, like they used to be. Their full out action adventure stories. With worlds and planets that construct a real environment. A tad crazy, but comprehendable to the game, and story. And this one does not fall short in that at all. Just as the other have not. In Platformers of last Gen it comes down to some of the best games of last Gen. The main ones are. Conker= just plain stupid. But still funny. Sly Cooper=The best Platformer series ever made. Jak and Dexter=Way overrated, and just not a good game or series. Phychonauts= One of the best single platfrom games ever made. And that same company to make this game. And this series is only a tiny bit behind Sly Cooper. You have to play booth if you ever get a shot. So how does this game sit with all those. Its up their. Like I said, its not quite a Sly Cooper. But Its close, and fun. You cant explain it anymore than it already is. Its just that good. The worlds are small but done well, and their tuns of planets in this one. Clank has a bit if flare now that hes a big time action hero on a hot show threw out the galaxy. And its a fun ride. What most that skip platformers these days have to think. Is these games are really just Action Adventure games now, with a tad bit of weird "Saturday morning carton" fell to it. With this company working on a 360/PS3 version. The next gen should be vary inerseting to see with this one. And Sly is Sony made, so thus I have to wounder if we will see him again. Or will that engine be used for another game? Either way in this new gen. For it to even start, you at least need to start and see this kind of stuff. And a few versions of it. Than will know were getting flowing than. But for now the best stuff "Like this game" sits still in last Gen.
