    This game is horrendously terrible. Literally a cash grab.,
    Back tracking levels, one entire level spent without weapons, no weapon upgrades, bolts are next to useless, no side missions, no clank gadgets, no new weapons.

    Como precuela funciona bien. Desconzco el precio al que salió, pero casi con seguridad fue excesivo.

    This is a good Pirates of Caribbean game but a Cyberpunk version, LOL. To be honest the game is pretty good with only one drawback being so small-sized.

    Basically the same thing as Tools of Destruction, NOT in a good way. The story barely adds anything to the saga, the game is extremely short, and every weapon (not much) is also taken from ToD.

    Un juego que se queda extremadamente corto para un usuario normal, y sobre todo para un fan de Ratchet como yo.

    Respecto al juego, es un Ratchet, se palpa su jugabilidad, ambientación, armamento... sin embargo el juego dura alrededor de dos horas, algo completamente insignificante.

    Fun but short. It wasn't as good as the other short game, Into the Nexus. It had some other minor differences that made me not like it quite as much as Tools of Destruction or Crack in Time, both of which I adored. I still had fun and had no regrets playing it.

    Whilst Quest for Booty is a fun game and it catches the spirit of the Ratchet and Clank franchise, it feels more like an add on of Tools of Destruction. The game is so short and similar to it's predecessor that it unfortunately feels like expendable in terms of the series.

    Very short, but sweet. The game is basically one mission to try to contact the Zoni from Tools of Destruction. Gameplay is mostly the same, with a nice change of pace when it comes to platforming sequences. My main gripes are the amount of waves of enemies you have to fight (typically in narrow areas) and the bugs (encountered bugs ranging from falling through platforms to game breakingVery short, but sweet.

    Ratchet & Clank Future: Quest for Booty is a really good game. Its no-dout worth the price, but its really short, and feels more like an expansion for TOD then a full game. But never the less if your a R&C fan, you need to buy this game.

    More like a demo than an actual game. At least it was given free after the PSN breach. Nothing special and like I said, too short. Can't really go higher than five with this one.

    It's really nothing different from Tools of Destruction, but it's still a great game. It's a sequel that comes after Tools of Destruction and before A Crack In Time. It controls smoothly, the platforming is great, the story is great, the voice acting is great, and the puzzles are great, and you could even get it for free with Nexus.

    A bite sized adventure that plays a lot like Tools of Destruction, only this game is more puzzle and platforming based rather than explosive action. The game is fun; however, there is little to no replay value and the game's length doesn't help that either.

    Quest for Booty is a bite sized installment, lasting around two and a half hours. Amusingly enough, it cost me just as much as the two games surrounding it, which are considerably longer and more wholesome experiences.

Maybe it's because they're part of the PS3 'Essentials' range, however it leaves me somewhat unsatisfied. Quest for Booty has little variety, the entire game is based on a single planet with either dark caverns, an island or pirate ships. Pick one. The weapons are simply recycled from Tools of Destruction, start at V3 and feature no upgrade component (although their final upgrades are hidden in the world for you to find). The game offers 3 levels of difficulty, but unlike Ratchet 2's difficulty, imo the finest difficulty in the game thus far, Quest for Booty's 'Hard' difficulty is akin to Deadlocked's in that it simply turns enemies into damage sinks and their attacks into nuclear explosions. On the upside, the short length of the game means that there isn't time for weapons to lose their relevance, staying formidable right to the end. Overall, Quest for Booty brings nothing new to the table, and is rather over priced for what it is, my final score reflects that, however that aside, it doesn't do too much wrong, and I must stress, despite it's overall scores from myself an others, IT ISN'T A BAD GAME. It's just short, overpriced and more of the same. It's also worth playing for plot reasons, as it continues on from Tools of Destruction and leads into A Crack In Time. Buy this, but buy it cheap.

    Short but sweet, Quest for Booty is a step back from the grandness of a normal Ratchet and Clank game, yet retains all of the bolt juicy joy that the games are so famous for. Over a short campaign you will re-join Ratchet, now alone after the mysterious Zoni abduct Clank in the conclusion of Tools of Destruction. As well as picking up on the story, the game also carries on a lot of the previous games mechanics, graphics and general feel. This is by no means a new Ratchet and Clank experience but a 1.2 version of the previous game. This is all right as the style and story of the game is different enough, to make sure it in now way feels a drag. There are however a few positive changes mainly involving Ratchet who now has an upgraded wrench and weapons. Not having clank is a major system shock at first however you quickly make do as your plunder into your pirate filled adventure.
    Oh yes I forgot, this game is Ratchet Vs Ghost Pirates! Surely that IP is enough to get you to out to the shops to pick up such a ridiculous yet entertaining combo of characters.
    There’s little more that needs to be said about this game, in no way is it some kind of major leap forward for the franchise but it doesn’t want to be and neither does it try. Insomniac have delivered a solid instalment, which keeps the thirst for Lombax fuelled adventure parched long enough to get to the next full on Ratchet AND Clank game.    … Expand

    The game is much too short to be one of those high grade games.

A better idea would be to make either Tools of Destruction longer, or Crack in time longer. At least the game is only fifteen dollars, still, it does feel a bit overpriced.

    Quest for Booty has been designed as a quick four-hour experience and it feels shortchanged because of it. Though its shooting and platforming sequences are fun and of high production, it still seems like there's something missing.

    Quest for Booty's a fine addition to the Ratchet & Clank world, but what should've been a love letter to fans ends up serving better as a taste of what outsiders are missing -- and, as a fan, that makes me just a little bit sad.

    Though Quest for Booty, again, isn't a bad game, it's not a good Ratchet game, and in the end that makes for a slightly disappointing and possibly even overpriced offering. With zero replay value and only a few new tricks, this Quest isn't worth taking.
