CVG reviews Ratchet and Clank: 9.3

CVG writes
"March 2007? Pah. The real PS3 launch starts here.
Please, feel free to disagree, but we're going to come straight out and say it: the Ratchet & Clank series is PlayStation's current mascot. And it's not just because the lead character is a squat, midget-human-mammal hybrid with a penchant for 'platforming elements'. They've consistently shown the world what PS2 (and recently, through R&C: Size Matters, PSP) is capable of when properly pushed, all the while returning often enough to keep its league of fans entertained and engaged for ages..."

I feel sorry for 1up and Gamespot. Those sites have lost a lot of traffic after their ratchet review

[supermandead666]

l feel sorry for the gamespot guy who review this game, even 1up look least retard compare to gamespot.

[gamesblow]

And this is normal... they talk about the games sides as if it's not perfect, but an evolution. That Slop dong Aaron Thomas never even reviewed a R&C game. IT's absurd to let him do it this year... Absurd at best. He's reviewed 90% of nothing but sports games. And he's clearly a MS shill according to his profile. Yeah, lets let that grease neck review the biggest Ps3 game out there. Sony needs to do something about those idiots. Black Ball city, folks.

Wow, this is the first time in gaming history that a single site acted like a true attention seeking baby while all others acted mature enough and gave Ratchet the score it deserved. Shame on you GameSpot, shame on you.
And I though 1UP and EGM were fanboys.

[gamesblow]

Well, you know... According to ARRON (SLOP DONG) THOMAS, R&C just had too much variety in it. "go figure" That's the stupidest damn reason ever to knock points off of a score. What a complete CRICKET D**K! What it was was he needed to get back to Halo 3, that's what it was. He was probably upset his editor made him review it. What a chump butter ass moron.

Let me see the future:
UT3 for PS3 have 3-4 hours single player gameplay;
haze don't even run in ps3;
MGS4 have the same graphics that mgs1;
GT5 is like an arcade game;
God of war 3 gets 5.5 in gamespot;
PES2009 have terrible frame rates only in the ps3 version;
GTA 4 doesn't fit a blu-ray, but fits on a x360 dvd;
FFXIII is not a RPG;
... just give us a break!!!!STOP INVENTING!!!!!

If the most anticipated game for my console was Ratchet & Clank, well... I would be pissed.
I don't doubt that some will find it fun, but come on, the 360 has a very long list of games that completely bury this type of crap.

Why are people even buying the PS3 at this point? Brand loyalty?

[BloodySinner]

Yep.

[DiabloRising]

What is there to be pissed about? An excellent and talented developer putting out a title in a series known for amazing visuals and platforming gameplay (which you have to admit is kind of dead lately). What's wrong with that? Because the characters are "cutesy?" The humor in the R&C games has definitely be great. Remember, it took the 360 a year to get its big titles. A good game is a good game, period.

If you think Ratchet is a crap series, I truly feel bad for you. And if you think Halo is the greatest thing ever, then I feel REALLY bad for you...

"Why are people even buying the PS3 at this point?" Dude it simple as can be............................ .PERSONAL F@CKING PREFERANCE.

[Leg-End]

I LIKE PLAYSTATION GAMES MORE THAN XBOX GAMES - i like 360 but there aren't enough games that appeal to me and my bros
it's personal preference, the only 360 games that appeal to me are pgr and bioshock - thats not enough reasons to spend £270.

jus cos i only have one console doesn't make me a fanboy dork...

PS if u play r&c u'll find that it's far from being (rap

[skagrerrrr]

is the savior of the ps3?

The contributor seems to put it that way...

[hulk_bash1987]

LOL, i wouldnt say that, but its a damn gud game for it.

[squallsoft]

i think we are now going to see the ps3 explode and crush the competition. and why buy a ps3? becuase id rather give sony my money than M$ and Nintendo. also, i like Sony's titles better. halo and most other non-PC FPS's never really did anything for me... at least on the PS3 i get the best of RPG's (Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, Shadow Hearts, Rogue Galaxy, Dark Cloud), the best platformers (R&C, Sly, J&D sorry Mario but Ive moved on), the best sim racer (Gran Turismo), the best action (God of War), the best shmups (Gradius, R-Type), the best in survival horror (Silent Hill), the best action puzzler (ICO, Shadow of the Colloses), the best arcade (Super Stardust HD, Everyday Shooter, Loco Rocco). why would i need anything else? plus i got a cheap bluray player for my HD-movie fix. so Im happy. if you dont own a ps3 and dont plan on owning a ps3, then why on earth are you posting in a topic about a ps3 game? go play your xbox games and be happy! :-)

If the biggest game on my console was about killing 7ft pink aliens and pretending to be a badass while doing I would...well, I would just LMFAO :p

Serious now, ppl buy PS3's because they want to. Just as ppl bought the 360 before Gears came out. Is that a good enough comparison to you?

Oh, and the biggest game on the pS3 this year, for me, is Uncharted ;) :)

Oh look at that, another great score for R&C! Man GS and that noob reviewer must be feeling ashamed right now, LOL!

You know - these Reviewers - if they can still be called that - chose the wrong title to downplay. This is a must have title - as was all the previous R&C titles. If they went after Uncharted - which is a new title - it might have gone by unnoticed. But going after R&C - well - that was just plain stupid. This titles already in its demo form impressed many. Already is lifted the graphics benchmark for this gen. Already it is the first title to be called Pixar quality. It builds on a great tradition and keeps to the playability of the previous titles. It is hugely anticipated. It will most probably be one of the most displayed titles on game stands when it is released. It will pull the crowds - and then the question will be asked: WTF - 7.5? What gives? The game - or the reviewer. Dumb move GS - you picked the wrong title to hate. Your credibility? Well - way below 7.5 I would say - and even hardcore xbots have difficulty with this score.

Hey, I was a happy PS2 owner for years. If I am now an "Xbot" or a "MS fanboy" it is only because the Xbox 360 owns the PS3. I know that PS3 owners don't like to admit it, but it's true; The 360 has far more AAA titles and an incredible online community. Deal with it.

I actually spent a fair amount of time trying to decide between the PS3 and the 360, but when I compared the games that are currently available for both consoles, the choice was easy; I would rather play awesome games now instead of dreaming about all of the awesome games that are "just down the road".
Add to that the VERY awesome Xbox Live and I have pretty much zero desire to buy the PS3.
