Ratchet & Clank

Maybe I should go back and try to get all the skill points in all the games.

The PS2 series of games were a blast, I remember one day, on R&C 1, I decided to do a run with nothing but, Bomb Glove, Suck Cannon, Visibomb, Morph Ray, and Trusty ol Wrench. Everything was smooth until Drek, that fight took an excessively long time, a dizzying experience but damn fun.


I found the later games specifically Deadlocked to be purely destruction and less clever platforming. Maybe that's why the first 2 games stuck with me more.


Now that I just got my PS3, which of the 3 games do you guys think is worth grabbing?

I liked Deadlocked because it was almost purely combat based. I'm a real sucker for explosions. After playing R&C3 like 60+ times, I found it to become boring at the beginning, especially with the Hacker puzzles, because it was heavily story-based and not enough action. Deadlocked was a welcome make-up for that, especially since I could modify the weapons how I wanted and they upgraded to level 99. The game's not for everyone though, I guess.



I'd say A Crack In Time, it introduces a new version of th Charge boots, gets rid of crouch in favour of a "Wrench-ready" position, Clank plays a bigger part in the game and has new abilities, and the game in general is just a shitload of fun. Especially since you can set oil you set down by the Omnisoaker alight by Hyperstriking it. Always fun to see enemies die by fire. Oh and the RYNO V plays part of the 1812 Overture when it gets fired.

However if you're one of those people (like me) who want to get the in-game references, paticuarly since it's the last game in the Future trilogy, get them all.

Mine is the Scorpion Flail from Deadlocked



And its upgrade, the Leviathan Flail.

I still enjoy playing through the original PS2 games of Ratchet and Clank, I need to make a proper start on the PS3 games though, I should have the first PS3 one back today and actually start playing it :)

same here, I never picked up the new ones, I really should, they are like 20 to 30 bucks now.

It's always good when games are cheaper than the original price and are great fun to play :)

Which also reminds me, I forgot I obtained Quest for Booty as part of the 2 free games Sony set up allowing people to have after the PSN hack. I've been leaving it until I played the first game xD
