Ratchet & Clank

There is a lot of imagination and polished gameplay in this video game. You really get invested in this world and all the characters. Even though it is a first instalment, it feels fully fleshed out. I enjoyed all the fun combat.

Ratchet and Clank is about a space creature (don't know what it's called) who meets a little robot named Clank. They join forces to stop the evil mad scientist. (I forgot his name.) Now, let's get to the good stuff.

Graphics- Ratchet works in 3-D. They're good, but not mind-blowing.

Level Design- Well, the levels vary, but it simmers down to fighting loads of enemies many of the times. Beside, there are too many of those door-opening puzzles.

Controls- The controls are smooth, and never hard to learn.

Diffculty- It never gets too difficult, and never too easy. It's about right.

Story- Well, it's not too good, but it's a video game! The cut scenes are hilarious though.

Variety- The variety is a bit limited sometimes, but new things are thrown into the mix here and there.

Shopping- You can buy plenty of weapons and ammo from the shops.

Rewards for completing the game- None

7/10

I grew up playing this game. A lot of the PS1 and PS2 games are classics, but there are some that do not age very well.

I started playing this game again, 20 years after it's release and it's aged incredibly well. The graphics (upscaled and emulated) are a solid 8/10. The gameplay is a 9/10 - - simple but easily the best in it's genre at the time and still enjoyable. The number of memorable gadgets and weapons is great. I remember as a kid saving enough bolts to finally buy the RYNO, and I still have that same feeling. The UI and sound design is a 10/10. A lot of modern games could learn from the UI and sound design to be honest.

This is one of the best action adventure games ever made and it deserves to still be played!

This game is gonna hook you from the start even 20 years later because it aged really well. The story is good but the plot twist coud have been done better but it really doesnt have pacing issues. The word building is fantastic, so many different word and it all are well built. The two main problem with this game is the controls and the checpoint system. Lets start with the controls, its really just not great even when it came out it wasnt great but you can change that how you look left and right with the analog. The checpoint system is not great sometimes you need to start the map all over again and sometimes its just frusraiting.

This game was the first game I ever played when I was 6 years old with my dad and we absolutely fell in love with the franchise. It's an amazing story and a classic adventure that I believe anyone could play. It deserves a remaster on any future consoles that come out hundreds of years from now. It will forever be considered a classic for the ages. There is no limit to how far ratchet and clank can go there will always be another universe to save and an adventure to have. Playing this game today takes me back to those glory days of being a kid and discovering the wonders and beauty of the video game industry. Please give it a try.
