Perfect 5/5 for Ratchet & Clank PS3 from Empire

The PS3 needs a hero. For every game like Heavenly Sword that demonstrates what the console's capable of, along comes an unmitigated disaster like Lair that shakes our confidence in the new console. But now that Ratchet & Clank are on the scene, Sony's big hunk o' plastic finally has an action adventure worth shouting about.

However it is the second best game on ps3 after UNCHARTED ---game of the millenium

poor XBOTS are all quiet

[testerg35]

not quiet.. just like how you make yourself look stupid everytime.

First you complain that all reviewers (ie: IGN, 1UP, ..) are all xbots and don't know what they're talking about, but as soon as a PS3 game gets a great review from them, then BAM.. their word is golden (ie: look at that PES review).

Then you also talk crap when VGCHARTZ shows 360 taking a lead in sales, but yet you post and quote a lot of sales data using VGCHARTZ.

[AdolfBinBush]

game of the century, pushing fanboism to the extreme..

[MK_Red]

These are the same people that gave 6/10 (3/5) to Assassins. Right now, both Ratchet PS3 and Call of Duty 4 have got perfect 10/10 (5/5) from them.

[shmee]

I played at GC this year. It is not fun

However Ratchet is the GOTY 2007 for sure

The PIXAR like GRAPHICS alone ensures that. Uncharted will be the game of the millenium

[ParaDise_LosT]

a 1/5 xD

[lonestarmt]

didn't they later say that AC wasn't a real review??

[remix]

just dont like the idea of ps3 getting TWO tripple AAA titles in its first year. like i said before, i have a 360 but i dont care much for products that break all the time. but being a user of the 360 in its first year and the ps3's first, i have had a much more enjoyable expierence with games in the ps3's first year

[resistance100]

Hey over here in europe we get 2 AAA titles in one day ^_^

Cod4 and R&C out a week friday over here ^_^

[Almighty]

Amaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazi ng!

Did you guys know that the reviews from this website doesn't appear in Gamerankings or Metacritic. Why? Because nobody gives a sh1t about "Empire" and everybody cares of sites, say like Gamespot (7.5/10)

See ya.

[remix]

metacritics is always late getting a review in the rankings. it will be there by tommorrow.

Rental...

Nuff said...

No multiplayer, no online = NO replay value..

Just Pass and put away...

I laughed when i got a used copy the second day it came out...LOL

wait..jokes on me..I should have rented it...*sigh*

[lonestarmt]

too bad you don't own bioshock then. That was a very good game, with no multiplayer or online. Sad really, you are going to miss out on so many good games...

you should play warhawk then, its awesome multiplayer online games. Most fun I have had since soccom, actually I like it better than that, but yet something tells me you don't like that game.. is it because no single player??? lol

[FullyLoaded420]

Yeah, I played Bioshock, great game, I agree...but
just like Ratchet and Clank, passed it, then put it away...

i also own Warhawk...Great game indeed...thats a keeper, why? good replay value...

It is what it is people!! I have been playing games since ATARI...
I rate my games by, RENTAL or a KEEPER...simple enough? good!!

and how the hell can u say "I DONT LIKE" these games???
All I said that it was a rental.

[lonestarmt]

"Like previous games in the series, the main appeal of Tools Of Destruction is its diverse gameplay"

you read that gamespot??? Identity crisis my arse. Variety is a good thing in these games.

[acetw1n]

How dose this game appeal to the hardcore audience , Ive played the demo, its ok ,but goty,to me the game seems kind of silly ,If i spend $600 on a console a ratched and clank game isnt really on my radar,where are all the japense devolpers who make games about ninjas robots and killer monsters, SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN THIS GAMES APPEAL?

[gamesblow]

The appeal to the series of R&C is easy... It's the best of Mega Man, the best of Metroid and then the best of platforming in general... Toss it all together and that is what's so great about the series.

[Excalibur]

Not trying to insult anyone but it looks like a little kid or chicks game.
What is the appeal for deformed little cartoon characters? Sorry, I don't get it.
If I had a PS3 I wouldn't buy this game.

I guess I can understand the folks that do own a PS3, sure you excited when you get an "exclusive game" there are so few to choose from.
More power to ya if that's what makes ya happy, after all thats all that matters.

[lonestarmt]

ok well, Everything is streamless. There is very little break from the action. Although at first glance it looks like a kids game, it really has good art direction. The humor is really smart and witty. Some of the jokes I don't think even kids could get. They sort are like interactive pixar movies that good, but really people of all ages can enjoy. The weapons you use are all unique and feel completely different. The platforming is top notch. Remember the good old days of the NES where everything was a platformer? well its a very updated version of that, but with updated weapons and shooting. The characters are funny and charming and grow on you very fast. Each world is different than the last. The variety of things never make it feel stale, and you can't put it down.

[malingenie]

This game will represent the start of a road without all the negativity for PS3. It's a pain to be the most bashed console in the U.S. But hopefuly not for long.

[gamesblow]

The mentality that eveyr game needs online is a joke! Not every game needs online... You act like you'd actually play R&C online over warhawk or Halo 3 anyways. Don't fool yourself... Some games are perfect without online... < most games, for that matter. We need a supplement for all generes and the action/adventure genere/platform genere... doesn't need to be online. Sorry... It's a waste of time, money and resources for the dev's to add in online. Over 80% of the online games are not played... Truth.

[FullyLoaded420]

Maybe true in SONY LAND....you should get a 360...LOL!!!

its all about the online FOOL!!!

unless you like playing by-yourself...you lonely guy you..

[HarryEtTubMan]

Bro, NOBODY CARES what You think.

There are plenty of games to play online on the PS3 FOOL! With more and more coming monthly. Why spend every game getting pwned by trash talking with little 12 year olds when you can play PSN online with an older audience. You are the FOOL. PSN has alot coming to it and Sony has a TON up there sleeves. They are going to win FOOL. You will see.

[gamesblow]

you're the guy without bubbles... Looks like you're gonna be lonley here, Timmy. Again, 80% of all games sold are not played online. Case and point... 12 million xbox 360's sold worlwide, right? Why are there only 6.5 million users online with the system? Oh, wait... You can't answer back can you? ahahahah

[remix]

i think uncharted is the best game coming out this year and it has no multiplayer. and i have plenty of friends, it has nothing to do with lonely.

people that think every game needs multiplayer reminds me of people that ALWAYS need to be around someone...............GET A LIFE OF YOUR OWN IS ALL IM SAYING.

[ASSASSYN 36o]

Goty yeagh right. I bet every potential Goty is from the xbox camp. Halo 3, Mass effect, or bioshock. 3 games vs. one kiddie game.

[gamesblow]

You have such a bitter, not to mention Sh**ty outlook on gaming as a whole, why even bother? What a complete joke. you've obviously never played a R&C game... Although one could say Kiddie by looks, the humor and content is anything but. I also agree with ol' buddy about the need to be around people. People like that make me sick.

[season007]

because 1 kick-@$$ can win it all, it is the GAME of the year not GAMES of the year

[tk]

I have 4 kids. And then I like to play games as well. For you a rental last 1-3 days. For me it lasts a month if it is a good game. I actually rent games to preview them. But in the case of HS and R&C - no need to. Go straight to buy.

[Maestro]

This is a B- game, folks. Don't cry, just face it.

[atke car]

did you see the score your moron.
