| My 5 year old is nearly through challenge mode, and he is looking forward to playing the game through the third time. He says of Ratchet Clank FTOD: "The best present of my whole life." I couldn't agree more. Great graphics, cool weapons, fun skins, right amount of challenges. Overall very impressive, and sets a new standard for video games. The only complaint is that my son won't let me have the controller! |

| At first I thought this game may be a little too kiddy for my tastes, but when I started to play it I understood that Insomniac made this game for all age ranges. Long story short the game was great, a bit short, but nowadays which games aren't. |

| I bought this game strictly because it has very high ratings and I got it during Amazon's PS3 software 50% off sale (before the servers inexcusably crashed, but that's best left for another time...) I had no idea what to expect, but the price could not be passed up and the ratings gave me confidence that this was a gamble worth making. I definitely came out the winner of this deal.br /br /This game is one of the best 3rd person shooters I've played in years. The graphics are gorgeous; the characters are adorable; the weapons are clever; the levels are well designed; and the humor is genuinely laugh-out-loud wonderful! The game is challenging enough that adults can have fun trying to get the extras that are available, but it easy enough that even young kids can play it successfully. My eight-year-old daughter has gotten quite far in the game herself.br /br /What I particularly enjoyed is that once the game is "over", you can immediately start from the beginning in "Challenging" mode with all of your money and weaponry, but with more difficult enemies and with the ability to super-charge your weapons. Some of the individual puzzles change from the "normal" version as well. The levels themselves are no different; but you'll soon find that weapons that you thought were pretty good no longer are, so you'll have to change your tactics.br /br /I enjoyed the game so much that I immediately bought its downloadable, episodic sequel when it was released, *and* I bought one of its PS2 prequels. (Granted, that won't help those who don't have backwards compatibility in their PS3...)br /br /The game has a 5-star rating, and it so deserves it. I've been playing 1st and 3rd person shooters since the days of the Commodore 64 and the 286. The last time I immediately started a game over when I was done with it because I enjoyed it so much was "Max Payne" back in 2001. "Ratchet and Clank" has now holds that title.br /br /Just buy this game. Yes, it's that much fun. |

| If you've ever played the previous RnC series, you know you're going to face the same gun-toting, treasure hunting, weapon upgrading, and planet exploring run through as the previous ones. the Weapons from this game are similar to the previous installment of Ratchet and Clank. If you like titanium bolt hunting and trying to get all the different armors and weapons (and then spending hours upgrading them) then you'll like this game. Worth another replay to upgrade all your items and the story line is good ol-fashioned disney type humor. All in all a decent game if you know the RnC games. Dont' expect too much though. |

| I downloaded a demo of R&C shortly after I got my PS3 and was imediately impressed by the visual look of the game. A very beautiful looking game. I played the demo, and was surprised at how fun it was. So I orderd it. I had never played a Ratchet and Clank game, but that doesn't really matter. If you've never played the series, you won't be lost. This is a new story with the same characters. You'll play as Ratchet, the last know remaining Lombax in the galaxy, with your robitic sidekick, Clank, as you traverse the galaxy battling space pirates, meet a smarmy smuggler, and try to save the universe from impending doom. The gameplay is mostly a third person shooter, but has puzzles and platforming just like its predecessors. The controls are very simple and easy to pick up. There are many differnt and upgradeable weapons and armors and gagets that Racthet will need to use to eliminate enemies and save the universe. If you're looking for a fun romp around the galaxy that is suitabe for everyone, Ratchet and Clank is a great game. Hope this helps! |

I've owned this game for about a week, and I still love it. I finally beat the game last night, and I'm looking forward to playing it again. The game is long enough that, more than likely, you can't actually remember all of the tricks to get through the levels. There's also plenty of secrets to find that keeps you on the lookout.
The fun really lies in the weapons. The assortment of upgradeable, crazy-but-useful weapons are what gets me excited to keep playing.
At first the game feels a little cartooney, and gives the impression of being easy. This changes as you progress as the game gets quite challenging at times.
This game is highly recommended (even at full price). I look forward to the sequel. |

I'm not sure where all the disdain comes from for the apparent lack of games on the Playstation 3. While most of it is cross-platform with the Xbox 360, there is always that one game that I haven't tried that I would love to play. Naturally one of the big PS3 titles is the latest in the Ratchet and Clank series, a platformer series that I will admit I never bothered trying in the past. While I'm still not that big into platformers, I have to admit I quite enjoyed Tools of Destruction and makes for a great playthrough.
Story: The story finds the duo being hunted by Emperor Tachyon and everywhere they go, there seems to always be someone who are trying to take the two down. So they both go across the galaxy to figure out not only why Tachyon wants them dead so badly but other reasons which may have to do with Ratchet's race, the Lombaxes. As well, Clank seems to have a strange connection with an alien trible known as the Zoni.
Graphics: Tools of Destruction is one of those kind of games that if people were to watch you play, they'd most likely crowd around the TV and watch because the graphics here are stellar. From the bright and vivid (not to mention sharp) color palette to the worlds you traverse, it's an incredibly great looking title and there's barely any hint of slowdown or drop in framerate either.
Sound/Music: Anyone hooked up to a sound system will have plenty to like here since the sound is grand and orchestral and really comes to life and makes the worlds seem that much immersive. While it's not a catchy score per se, it more than does the job. Ditto with the voice acting which is also well done and doesn't suffer from that ironic tone voice actors sometimes use where they have to ham it up on a line. Even the Zoni have awesome voices and make one remember the aliens from the "Toy Story" movies.
Gameplay: To be honest, I'm not that into platformers. Whereas ones like the Prince of Persia series are favorites, it's that sort-of run-and-gun feel that I never bought into. But what makes R&C fun is just how easy it is to get into and upon fiddling a bit with sensitivity and camera options, it was a breeze to get into. The weapons are customizable for better damage, more ammo and the like and the variety found makes killing enemies dare I say it, fun. From a device that shoots bees to a tornado launcher or missile lock and even items that make the enemies start dancing, it's fun just to switch weapons on the go and use whatever you want on them.
The puzzles aren't really all that difficult and it's really just a case of using your brains to solve them and not having to pause just to try and figure it out. On occasion you'll have some moments that fully use the Sixaxis controller like when you freefall and dodge traffic or missiles to flying through the air or lasering out walls. Unfortunately, I could never really get the hang of it and while they weren't as awful as say, Lair, I still just switched to the trusty analog stick. Another gripe is the checkpoint system; dying is not frustrating in a Ninja Gaiden way but when you get sent back it was kind of surprising just how far back I was sent and you felt like "oh come on, they're sending me back THIS far?" While I'd get to where I needed to be eventually, it was annoying feeling a sense of progression and having to reload back in the field instead of the cave/dungeon I just recently entered.
With extras like skill points, challenge modes, different fights to take on in an Arena, plus upgrading your weapons to max, there's plenty to do once you're finished. Also it's just so much fun and this one's well worth your time (also if you can get online and order from the PS Store, download the next installment "Quest for Booty"). |
