The Ratchet & Clank franchise is now fully established, but for some reason among all the different 3D platformers of the PS2 era it never seemed to catch my attention. On the PS3, the impressive graphics and smooth gameplay now pop, making this an intriguing purchase. The first two games of this trilogy suffered from mild hiccups, namely that Tools of Destruction implemented the Sixaxis motion controls to its fault and Quest for Booty was hardly a full game, but none of that can be said for A Crack in Time. This game has everything you could ever want from a game: a solid story, impressive graphics, professional sound design and silky smooth gameplay. Without a doubt, A Crack in Time is the complete package and a must buy for platforming fans on the PS3.
