Concluding the events set into motion by Tools of Destruction, Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time will at long last answer some of the franchise fans' largest questions. After discovering that Clank's disappearance was engineered by Dr. Nefarious, Ratchet races to rescue his best friend. Unfortunately, he discovers that Clank's capture is just the beginning of Nefarious's latest diabolical plot. In this follow-up to the best-selling series, Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time puts players into the role of both Ratchet and Clank as they attempt to reunite and save the universe. Along the way, both will finally uncover the hidden truth behind their origins, and discover their ultimate destinies. As the duo come closer to reuniting, they'll have to ask themselves the biggest question of all: Do Ratchet and Clank's destinies lie with each other? Or is it finally time for the universe's greatest duo to separate for good? Powered by Insomniac Games' fourth-generation PLAYSTATION3 system technology, A Crack in Time will continue to bring the experience of playing your own CG-animated movie to the PS3 system. Players will use new gadgets such as Ratchet's Hoverboots to explore levels and can take off in Ratchet's ship to discover nearby moons and planets. Clank will use new abilities to manipulate time to try and stop Dr. Nefarious.
This game offers 15-20 hours of play through a single player campaign supported by trophies; there is no online play. The story is well written a very immersive. The graphics are amazing in HD and the custcenes drive the the story. The music is great and isn't always the same theme. The vo's a very well acted and the sound effects are of a crisp and clear quality. The controls work very well and are fine-tuned. There are minor camera issues and limited SIXAXIS use. This game is a blast to play.
This game is SO entertaining, and hard to walk away from. Ratchet and Clank's "pick up and play" style makes it easy for anyone new to the series become familiar is seconds. Graphics are great and you'll be amazed at the engine not slowing down with thousands of bolts and explosions flying around the screen. As with all Ratchet games, the dialogue is quirky and very well done. 15-20 hours of gameplay with addictive trophy support.
Woulda kept it longer if I hadn't reserved another game.
