Gamepro's Ratchet :TOD review - 5/5

Ratchet has been getting a flurry of good reviews today. After IGN ,Gamepro has also given Ratchet a very good score. This is what the reviewer said :-

"Let's start with the thing console gamers hold most dear: the graphics. Tools of Destruction definitely delivers in the visuals department, doling out sweet eye candy like a friendly old lady at Halloween.

It would be easy to take the lush and vivid detail of the game for granted, but witnessing a giant building collapse as you rail-grind passed it is truly a jaw dropping experience. The best part is that the game's frame-rate never dips or stutters, which means the intense action never misses a beat."

Does EB games have it in stock today?

[the worst]

but i got my copy
mom & pop stores rules

[Lightning Mr Bubbles]

I just asked if EB games has it in stock today or not. They disagree to a question?

Or could it be some XBOX 360 fanboy who doesn't want me to buy the game or something? sheesh...

[CrazzyMan]

disagree could also mean NO. =))

[ATLRoAcH]

thats pretty funny disagrees to a question hell the agrees are even misplaced.Well you asked a question and I don't no the answer sorry.Oh and WOW another perfect score....maybe we have a winner here.

[Bazookajoe_83]

I want it now so i can play it before Cod4 releases, man there´s to many gams coming..

[dfcm2003]

I have played the demo, and I am not 100% sure I will get the game, but I love to see those high scores coming in, seeing the PS3, cant make good games, and is not equal to 360, etc... LOL YEA What EVER

[Bebedora]

Ok, I'm joking. :)

R&C will be my best owned ps3 game when it comes.

*HS, Very prety and nice story. So-so gameplay besides the aiming was cool
*Enchated Arm, not what I was expecting. Worked barely to play all out
*Motorstorm, now that's explosive fun! Very nice and appreciated by my friends
*NHL '08, Very nice hockey. Best from EA ever. Still glitches and lots of crashes when I got it. Now adays it's not (?!?!?)

Now ratchet & clank.....that's a game to play!

[Panthers]

if those are all the games you own, you are missing out on Resistance and Rainbow Six.

[Bebedora]

I would like to try Resistance, but I'll wait for a lower price.
FPS:s aren't my thing, sadly enough since they are 10 on a dozen games coming out.

I'll take Folklore later and Uncharted. Then we'll see what's next after that.

[MK_Red]

Finally, a good score from GamePro. They either give low score to good games or high score to bad games (4.5/5 or something to Boogie!!).

I can only imagine what score this game could have earned if it had multiplayer. 11/10!?

[wil4hire]

Are they done with Halo3 already? Conan is a huge hit.

[aaquib5]

of what PS3 can do. Im tired of hearing about how games on 360 look better. These developers working on the exact same hardware. If Insomniac can do it, EA can do it.

[wil4hire]

There is a bot here. disagreeing with everyone.

[lonestarmt]

yup the had fall of man, great game on launch day with little flaws, then in about a year they have this masterpeice!! Screw EA and peter moore. At least this crap would shup up the people who say the ps3 is gimped and guys as far as graphics go, its only going to get better!!!

wait for it though, I can hear it now,fanboys are going to say this game doesn't count because its a "kids" game.

[fishd]

, YES INDEED!!!

[jcgamer]

360 owner here giving props where props is due...Ratchet: TOD is a winner and quite the critical darling...Metacritic score of 93%...I told fellow N4G user blacsheepxx that I would return the favor yesterday for future PS3 games when he congratulated 360 owners for PGR4 on a favorable review thread for the game...well, just 24 hours later and I'm saying job well done...Ratchet: TOD, certified AAA...Uncharted is next..

[lonestarmt]

thanks for the respect, but even if it got 8's or higher its still a good game. I would give you a bubble, but I think you got enough. lol.

[jcgamer]

how about I give you the bubble then...bubbles up...and I agree, 8's or higher are great, but hey, it's getting 9+...I'm not mad at that...lol...

[shmee]

bubble for you

[The Wood]

bubble +

[AllroundGamer]

and this game runs at 60fps, a masterpiece indeed.

[Lightning Mr Bubbles]

[Maddens Raiders]

is really starting to pick up steam in *all of the right areas.
Games & Price. Good going.

[FirstknighT]

Calm down tiger. I know it's a lil exciting to get your first AAA title but the 360 releases AAA titles monthly. Forza 2, Bioshock, Halo 3, Mass Effect vs. Ratchet???? Oh yeah, the 360 is in trouble! LMAO!

[pilotpistolpete]

If you weren't such a tool, you'd notice he hadn't mentioned anything about the 360.

[jcgamer]

calm down man...calm down Hulk...lol...Maddens didn't mention anything about the *other* console...lol...no flames today...cheers to Ratchet...

[RonDeMuerte]

haha what?? Forza 2 is triple A?? really?? cause I hear a lot of people saying that the demo for Gran Turismo Prologue recently b!tch slapped Forza 2....oh and Mass Effect is already a triple AAA title????!!!!....when the f@ck was this released??...I think I missed it huh...

[Tarmgar]

Insomniac seems to be faithful to the PS3 unlike EA has been. Insomniac is the example of a non xbot company.

[The Wood]

seem to be a little nicer to American games companies or is it just me??

[stuntman_mike]

wow some of the scores coming in, im definatley getting this. ive played the demo like a 100 times so far cant wait.

[Sevir04]

i like perfection... ^^ gimmie more
