Ratchet & Clank Future: Quest for Booty has been designed as a quick four-hour experience and it feels shortchanged because of it. Though its shooting and platforming sequences are fun and of high production, it still seems like there's something missing... and that's because there is.
Certain games are just meant to be big in scale and scope -- RPGs, 4X strategy ventures, sandbox games, and yes, Ratchet & Clank titles. Anything less ends up feeling rather incomplete. So, while Quest for Booty does provide a decent gameplay experience for a competitive price in addition to a very (very) cool twist on the already-mysterious Zoni kidnapping of Clank, fans need to keep themselves from expecting too much. Let the countdown to fall 2009 begin...
20th Anniversary Armor Pack arrives today for Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart; more games coming to PlayStation Plus Premium November 15.
Man... what i wouldnt give to have a full PS5 UHD of all the R&C games in one collection. i guess streaming them on PS+ is the next best thing (or naturally a PS3)
They couldn’t make PS2 versions of those R&C games like they did with the J&D games?
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is amazing. I really hope Insomniac are working on more. I'm always up for another Ratchet & Clank game.
From Xfire: "Insomniac Games first introduced the unlikely duo of Ratchet and Clank back in 2002 on the PlayStation 2. Since then, the series has taken audiences on a journey that has spanned not just an entire galaxy, but multiple dimensions, with its most recent outings."
Best games of the franchise are Up Your Arsenal, A Crack in Time, 2016 Remake and without a doubt the newest one Rift Apart. You simply can’t go wrong with these.
Man what a glorious game series.
Only ones I don't like as much are all 4 one and full frontal assault other than that all games are awesome( even these are good games just not up to the standard of other games in the series)
Nice article, good list, they're all fun & I love this game!
Rift Apart is spectacular.
Insomniac are wizards, I want their next game to be a new Resistance. I can't wait to see what they have in store for us next.
I'm looking forward to playing Rift Apart then the whole series sometime afterward. Up Your Arsenal is my favourite
Ratchet & Clank: Quest for Booty is typically regarded as one of the worst in the Ratchet & Clank series, and it’s clear why after playing it over the Holiday season. It is only set in one world with little story to be be had, the level design can be frustrating, and the lack of weapons (and anything new) make this short 3-hour entry worth skipping in the series.
Kinda disappointing but I can understand his complaints. I can also understand the 15 dollar price tag. It seems like a good review its just the game doesnt perform in its usual case.
Considering I was dumb enough to buy novastrike for 10 bucks this seems like a steal lol
But how much is this one going for?
Going to have to pick this one up.
It troubles me to even try and let comments like "something's missing" or "too short" sit well with me. Maybe it's the free 10/10's the Orange Box got last year for just value, or maybe the inflated scores for a horrible Lost Planet port this year to PS3 because of the price point.
I would have preferred a full Ratchet title, but Quest for Booty should be good fun. I'm looking forward to it next week!
There is no longer any doubt in my mind that they are being paid by MS to give poor scores to anything Sony publishes (MGS4 published by Konomi). I mean for a 15 dollar game with the most impressive graphics of any Arcade or PSN title ever... a 7.4!! Let's see so it is worst for the value than DARK SECTOR and ARMY of TWO, CONAN and TIMESHIFT!! Call me a conspiricy theorist all you want but IGN is nothing more than a XBOX fanboy site!!
