    Muita ação e desafios de plataforma. A ideia do jogo é muito boa. Ser um bicho que pode sair atirando por aí com inúmeras armas e acessórios é muito divertido. Além da história ser muito boa, te prende de verdade. Pra mim particulamente é o melhor jogo de PS2

    Ratchet & Clank is a third-person action-adventure title, with elements of platforming, shooting, role-playing games, and puzzle-solving.

    It’s cool seeing the beginning of the franchise but it’s clear that Insomniac Games were still figuring things out, the lack of strafe makes shooting more an annoyance then fun, the game is straight up cruel when it comes to handing out checkpoints. The story and ending is solid though.

    Ratchet and Clank is undeniably a classic of the PlayStation 2 era.
    However Ratchet and Clank's title of PS2 classic is more out of respect for the strong foundation it laid for future Ratchet and Clank entries rather than its ability to execute on this foundation.
    Much of the gameplay is excruciatingly cumbersome, cutscenes are poorly placed/paced, the soundtrack feels random and    Ratchet and Clank is undeniably a classic of the PlayStation 2 era.

    Much of the gameplay is excruciatingly cumbersome, cutscenes are poorly placed/paced, the soundtrack feels random and often fails garner any particular sense of atmosphere.

    The bones of what would come to make Ratchet and Clank great is all here and with that there is a lot of fun to be found.

    I enjoyed my time with Ratchet and Clank in hindsight but in the moment there were many times I considered spending my time elsewhere.    … Expand

    This is a great game but after playing the games that came after it feels a lite dated. I think that this would be a ten if they had strafing, weapon level up and a few other things but right now its a 7 for me.

    I very hated this game after I played it first time, but now I really love it. Great plot, planets, ost, humour. Yeah, it has some troubles, but cmon, it's the first game. And this game completely destroys remake and Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy

    Playtime : 18 hrs This is the 2nd ratchet i completed the first 1 is the R&C PS4. I find this older game way better than the ps4. It has way better phasing and has more authentic experience. I find the game too difficult and tedious for a game made for younger audience. Overall it is supper fun but too difficult resulting    Ratchet and Clank 1 on PS Vita

    Ratchet and Clank (2002) is one of my Favorite 4, THE four Ratchet and Clank games i love the most. The lack of strafing is honestly not a problem for me, though the control are abit clunky sometimes. And Ratchet is abit slow with the wrench. Clank levels are not the best, but they are so few so its fine. And i don`t really like the Hoverboard races.

    Other than that, this is an excellent game! The many lush and unique planets in this game are some of my favorite levels in video game, the atmospehere is perfect and the music is just perfect, props to David Bergaud. The branching paths makes exploration feel more real and the one of characters are hillarious. Not to mention the excellent comedy. Ratchet is such a fun character. He is not some boy scout who wants to do good and be a superhero, but a street smart mechanic who really just wanna do what he wants. Clank is more of the level headed one, but is also quite naive.
    A fantastic game with amazing planets, excellent music, awesome weapons and a interesting story. This game is so good its Qwarktastic!    … Expand

    I can't say it's a 2002 game because it's way ahead of its release time, the animations are amazing even today

    R & C's innovation comes in the form of all those crazy, non-gimmicky weapons and tools. This is a complex, polished platform gaming machine.

    The graphics, the busy environments, the interactivity... every element taken by itself it pretty praiseworthy, stick 'em all on the same disk and they add up to good things.
