| Rachet and Clank = YES. |
| 01.17.05 (6:20 pm) [edit] |
Rented Rachet and Clank last week. Very very very good game, which is surprising seeing as how the studios put out it's 3rd game of the series in as many years. I certainly wouldn't mind if the trend continued though.
I guess a good comparison would be that this is about the closest equivalent of an 3D translation of an old-school white-knuckle platform shooter. And I'm all about the old school blasters.
Ok, so pretty much, your run around from planet to planet blowing up everything in your path. You have about (it seems) 25 different weapons at your disposal. All the weapons can be upgraded by killing your opponents, as can your maximum health.
There's also a number of side challenges and what not throughout the game are just plain fun in and of themselves.
Plot-wise, I think it's a marked improvement over the previous installment. I say this mainly because the game doesn't have the innacurate video-game timing that sometimes happen (jokes not being played out the way they should, etc.). Anyhoo ... the jokes are better timed, while the voice cast is the same, it also bears a marked improvement. I guess they're more used to their characters or something. So yeah, in short it's quite a bit funnier.
Just a mild heads up. Note that on the back of this package there's a rating write-up for "crude humor." While not horribly offensive (or even PG-13 rated for that matter), it certainly did catch me off gaurd.
So yeah, go rent it at the very least. Otherwise buy it.
