    come on this is the worst ratchet and clank ever i even think size matters is beter than this.
    you just repeat the same mission 4 times just on different planets.
    it's like playing siege in ratchet and clank 3 only this and then they even ask 15 for it please this should have been an dlc for 5 bucks.

    Do not buy this game! Worst Ratchet & Clank ever! Don't be fooled by the positive reviews about graphics and certain gameplay features. This game does not give you a fighting chance. You run out of ammo too quick. You tend to be more outnumbered by opponents, certain opponents are frustratingly stronger than in other ratchet and clank games. Health (nanotech) is less plentiful.

You run out of ammo too quick. You tend to be more outnumbered by opponents, certain opponents are frustratingly stronger than in other ratchet and clank games. Health (nanotech) is less plentiful. And to top it all off, if you kill off most of the enemies in any given area but are almost out of health, then leave the area to go get health, all of the enemies respawn!! The auto-targeting doesn't work. How about jumping to improve your chances of not getting hit (like in other Ratchet & clank games)? Nope! You still get hit just as much. How about strafing... (lateral movement), against most enemies (who ironically seem to have auto-targeting against this defense), it makes little or no difference. Every strategy you come up with is negatated by the a.i.'s gameplay. I don't know what the multiplayer is like, but as far as the one player campaign... it's as if some programmer decided to prank punk everybody by negating every skill and strategy developed or used by ratchet and clank players over the past 10 years. I give it a 2 because it still holds true to the R&C experience, as far as gadgets, environments, characters, etc.… Expand

    This game is another step in the wrong direction for ratchet and clank. Who voted to have a monster single player polished franchise move to multiplayer? I think it is better than All 4 one because atleast the classic control feel is back with a true 3rd person camera. This game is fun to play for 30 minutes or so but gets old very fast.

I think it is better than All 4 one because atleast the classic control feel is back with a true 3rd person camera. This game is fun to play for 30 minutes or so but gets old very fast. I fear one of my favorite franchises may be dying. I truly hope insomniac plans to give us a true sequel to a crack in time as that was the last truly amazing ratchet and clank game. Graphically this game doesn't look good either. It only runs at 30fps which would be ok if the graphics were impressive like in uncharted or gears of war. Ratchet games have always looked simple but they still looked good because the cartoon like art style was complemented by a buttery smooth 60fps. This engine seems to be the same as all 4 one, which looks worse than a crack in time especially the character models. In summary, boring campaign, no heart to the story, 30fps with all 4 one quality character models, this game feels like a boring multilayer attempt that should have accompanied a true sequel to a crack in time, too bad there isn't an awesome single player campaign to make up for this multiplayer crapfest.… Expand

    After the disaster of All4One, I downloaded the demo instead of just buying this game. To be blunt, I'm very disappointed. This is tower defence game with a little R&C thrown in. All of the PS2 games and the Future games are fun. I've played them multiple times and will play them all again. I wish I could say the same for this one.

    I will buy the HD version of Ratchet: Deadlocked as soon as it's released, but I have no plans to buy this game. I might think about it when it goes on sale for $5.
    Insomniac, please return the franchise to its roots and make a great game. There's still potential in the franchise, and I know you have the ability to bring it back from this terrible slump.    … Expand

    Very disappointed by the lack of planets and things to do. Roughly 3 hours of gameplay, which really just means 3 "rounds" on a planet. I loved R&C but this really feels rushed and improperly made. It's too busy trying to fit in references to be a good game, or to have a good story.

    this game is HORRIBLE FOR A RATCHET AND CLANK GAME. There are only 3 planets and THE GAMEPLAY IS THE FREAKING SAME.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The only ratchet games I have played at this point is the ps2 series, all 4 one, and into the nexus, and even I can say "what is wrong with this game." Gameplay is WAY too hard, especially when you are by yourself and you want to explore. Almost all of the levels have the same gameplay, and why does Zurgo attack us? Because he wasn't In the qwark fan club. For a multiplayer game, I would rather play all 4 one to get my multiplayer fix. Also… Expand

    Worst R&C game without questions. Couldn't play it much than 1 hour and dropped it FOREVER.

    Ratchet and Clank Q-Force proves that after ten years, there is still life in the old Lombax yet that is worthy of consideration – if only there were more mission objectives and levels to enjoy.

    A decent hybrid of genres but why is it so short? [CD-Action 04/2013, p.78]

    Ratchet and Clank Q Force is not a bad game, but it’s not a great one either. If you are a fan of the franchise there is definitely something here for you however you may be under whelmed.
