After discovering that Clank's disappearance was engineered by Dr. Nefarious, Ratchet races to rescue his best friend. Unfortunately, he discovers that Clank's capture is just the beginning of Nefarious's latest diabolical plot.

Along the way, both finally uncover the hidden truth behind their origins, and discover their ultimate destinies. As the duo come closer to reuniting, they have to ask themselves the biggest question of all: Do Ratchet and Clank's destinies lie with each other? Or is it finally time for the universe's greatest duo to separate for good? Players use new gadgets such as Ratchet’s Hoverboots to explore levels and can take off in Ratchet’s ship to discover nearby moons and planets. Clank use new abilities to manipulate time to try and stop Dr. Nefarious. [Sony] Expand

    If this is truly the last Ratchet and Clank release then rest assured that the series goes out with a bang. It’s one of the games of the year and an outstanding exclusive for the Playstation 3.
  2. While Ratchet and Clank's latest outing would serve as a great starting point for those just discovering the franchise, it's an even wilder ride for longtime fans. The story is packed with surprises, including some shockers about the duo's origins, as well as answers to some longstanding questions.

    The game's charming story and characters are accompanied by fun, compelling gameplay mechanics in both time-tested and totally new styles. [Holiday 2009, p.64]
  4. Even though the formula of this series hasn't seen a dramatic overhaul, the gameplay does continue to offer a very solid experience, complete with enough new features to keep it feeling fresh.
  5. Be that as it may, the strengths of A Crack in Time overcome its weaknesses and on the whole is a fun experience.
  6. The gaming equivalent of watching Saturday morning cartoons, this is an easy-going marriage of puzzle solving and shooting in a game that never tries to box above its weight class, and it never has to.
  7. The same old Ratchet & Clank as always: unsettled, fractured, gorgeous and varied to a fault.

    Conclusão: o jogo vale a pena ser jogado, se você gosta de jogo de aventura e exploração ou da franquia ratchet and clank, esse jogo sera perfeito pra você

    "Crack in Time" is a great addition to the series. The time puzzles are awesome, although at first I wasn't sure I would like them. "Crack in Time" is a great addition to the series. The time puzzles are awesome, although at first I wasn't sure I would like them. I'm currently playing my first replay, on Hard mode, and some parts of the game can be a real challenge. Make sure you complete all the moons - they make the game last much longer. My only complaint is that the RYNO V isn't the best RYNO of the series (but it's pretty good) - that honor goes to the RYNO II if I remember correctly - the one with all the homing rockets. I must admit, though, that I haven't gotten it to full stats yet, so perhaps my opinion will change. R&C is my favorite gaming series - I've played every game on every platform. I bought a PS3 specifically for R&C (but obviously use it for much more). I hope this isn't the last in the series, because there's really nothing else like it anywhere. You can find plenty of FP shooters, but how many games like R&C are there? None. Long Live Ratchet & Clank!! Expand
