    I like it more than Tools of Destruction and Tool of Destruction was also my game of 2007. Gameplay is AWESOME and the new gameplay elements fit perfectly with the theme. Graphics are amazing once again and music is better than before. You can choose your difficulty level between easy and hard. When you have beaten the game you can do it again and find extra weapon upgrades. Needs only I like it more than Tools of Destruction and Tool of Destruction was also my game of 2007.

    For a downloadable game, this is the best you'll get. It is a little shorter than I thought but that's very minimal in what Insomniac accomplished. In a game that looks incredible, a more of a puzzle strategy to the game, and was a 2nd priority to Resistance 2, that is pretty jaw dropping.

    Everything that makes Ratchet and Clank great is still here in this bite-sized portion. The humor, the great characters, the voice acting and of course, the fun! It's a short adventure, but it's great if you just want some classic R&C action without having to commit to a 20 hour quest. Very highly recommended, to fans and newcomers alike.

    Gameplay is great, Platforming, Puzzles and Beating up the bad guys! It may be short, but its a great addition to the series of Ratchet and Clank.

    A solid outing for the lombax, but it doesn't quite match the full game in terms of enjoyment. Quest for booty is more platform oriented than running and gunning oriented.

    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.

    Ratchet & clank: quest for booty is great, really great, but...it's practically the same as its predecessor, and its a bit worse than its predecessor too. Its still a really good game with nice graphics, a comedic script and unique 3rd-person shooter/plat-former/action-adventure/(very loosely) roll playing game play. I want to give it a 9, but its not quite good enough.

    This was a really good game even tho it was short and it was a good kinda transition between tools of destruction and a crack in time the reason why I gave it a 8 out of 10 is because lots of the parts were hard to see even with the brightness turned right up

    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

    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.

    Not bad for a very short game. Its pretty much some simple puzzles with new ways to use your wrench. the next full blooded R&C should be all tools of destruction was and more with these few new additions.

    Wow this game was short. i expected a lot more out of Insomniac for this series. The game looks great and is always enjoyable, but the puzzles were too simple and the diversity (even for a Ratchet and Clank game) was minimal. Maybe $10!

    Quest for Booty is not exactly a game by itself; it is more a bridge between Tools of Destruction and A Crack in Time.

Still, it is a great game and a cheap test-drive for those who are on the fence about the Ratchet & Clank series. It is fun, the graphics are colorful and the soundtrack is brilliant (with many Pirates of the Caribbean tweaked tracks). And the pirate theme really works for the series. Progression is pretty different from the series' standards: there is nothing to buy, nothing to evolve: you just go through the game enjoying the story and getting answers on the mysterious end of Tools of Destruction. And in the end you get a nice surprise. Quest for Booty feels more like an extension of the previous game than a game by itself, but it's still a very fun and well-built experience.… Expand

    Nothing particularly wrong with it but it suffers terribly from its length, as most games like this do. It is merely an add on for Tools of Destruction, a masterpiece, so it was going up against tough competition. If only it had been a serious and long game, then they may have been able to integrate better and newer mechanics than stick with the old formula.

    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 expation for TOD then a full game. But never the less if your a R&C fan, you need to buy this game.

    Quest for Booty is a bite sized installment, lasting around two and a half hours.

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.

    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 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.
