    Space warriors, mad scientist, chosen one and saving the planet.

    I might have heard the name, but seems nothing familiar. So it is very much like my first encounter with these game characters. And this is really a good first film, I enjoyed, but did not like, because I'm not the target audience. I know, many grown-ups liked it, but they had reasons like they have known this for some    Space warriors, mad scientist, chosen one and saving the planet.

    I might have heard the name, but seems nothing familiar. So it is very much like my first encounter with these game characters. And this is really a good first film, I enjoyed, but did not like, because I'm not the target audience. I know, many grown-ups liked it, but they had reasons like they have known this for some time. One thing that fascinated me was the production quality. I can't believe, it was not those silly B class animation, it was very much comparable to Disney, Pixar and DreamWorks films. The only thing that did not favour it was the story. If they have got that part right, it would have been one of the best animations of the years.

    So the truth is I tempted to rate it higher for the quality of animation alone. The directors, and all artists must be praised for that. If I were a kid, it would have been my favourite. So what I'm saying it, this film will be loved by children. There's not child film critic, otherwise this film would have been appreciated better. The problem is the critics did not like it, and so the adults, but families with kids might have chance to enjoy it.

    Some of the big names in the voice-over artist list, but that did not help the film to see its success. There's no innovation in it, everything you see in the film was already exploited in other films. All those the space warriors thing, the chosen one, villain, mad scientist, betrayal, you have seen them from 'Star wars' to 'Guardian of the Galaxy'. That is another reason for not having a good time with it. It is still very much a watchable film.

    In fairness I only played this 5 years after release.
    Was expecting a game just for kids but turned out to be decent.
    Decent graphics & the guns are all fun to play around with.

    A fun and exciting return for Ratchet & Clank. Though it doesn't really offer anything too unique in the realm of 3D platformers, it does everything very well.

The story is very self away and is able to make jokes about it's self. You do the regular traveling from planet to planet completing objectives, those objectives do vary from missions focused around aspects of Ratchet's or Clank's ability's. Some levels feel very tight and restricted but once you unlock more items you quickly realize backtracking can lead to hidden places.

    If you love ratchet and clank then this is a must buy. Don't see this as a HD remake, the game is completely new re-imagine of the first Ratchet game. The game is absolutely stunning to look at, looks like a pixar movie.
    The are familiar planets and characters but they all have been tweaked for the better in my opinion. The planets have much more enemies and some

    I love Ratchet & Clank games and i love this remake, but really would love to see remake of R&C3 soo much more than 1. I could write same thing that everybody else, that this game has awesome graphics, great weapons, excellent gameplay but for what purpose? Just do Yourself a favour and try it out Yourself.

    Wow, I just can't get enough of this game. I mean, I know that it's almost the same as all the R&C games I played and loved on PS3. And I know it's a reboot, just some old-news-made-new, but it's still awesome in so many ways. The visuals are great. Audio is above average. Level design is top notch. Backtracking is fun. And last, but not least - the gameplay is pure destruction.

    There's one thing I really love about this game - it's the difficulty level. I'm playing on hard, and it feels like hard. I had to replay some fights, because the were... well, hard, but at no point did I feel cheated. I reached platinum with all three PS3 titles, and I'm sure I'm going to hit platinum again. Man, this game's good!

    Absolutely can't wait to go commando with the next installment. Hope it's gonna be here sooner rather than later.    … Expand

    I loved the game from beginning to end. The graphics are gorgeous and gameplay is very fluent. frame rate and frame pacing is very stable. the story is funny , pretty straight forward and predictable but great nonetheless The pricing of the game was also fantastic. This is one of those games that every ps4 owner should add to his game collection.

    La verdad es que en aquel entonces yo era fan de Jak & Daxter, empecé a jugar a esta saga porque siempre he sido muy plataformero. terminé por cogerle cariño y ahora con esta reedición asombrosa estoy disfrutando más incluso que antaño. Ver los efectos de las armas y los tornillos volar es una autentica delicia!

    I needed this game so bad, I haven't played a platform game this great since crash bandicoot 3. The way the game looks and feels is just out of this world. There are some puzzles in it, which i always love in games, and had some giggles with those whitty jokes. Every cent of this game was totally worth it. Thanks Insomniac and Sony. It's a pure masterpiece.

    This is the first complete game that I enjoyed on my PS4.

    And I have to say that it will be very difficult to get over this game.

    This game reached my standards on how a Plataformer/action game should be. Only other game gave me this lots of fun, and of course that game was Sunset Overdrive.

    Insomniac did this, they have my sac of money

    It lacks some plot depth, but nevertheless it's a pleasant, children's cartoon story.
    The gameplay is also fun and varied.

    Ratchet and Clank is one of the most addicting games I have played in a long time.

    To start, the gameplay is fantastic. The controls are solid, the movement feels great, and the star of the games are the weapons. There are so many different kinds that the game never feels boring, plus there is an extensive upgrade system that allows you to constantly be improving your favorite weapons.

There are so many different kinds that the game never feels boring, plus there is an extensive upgrade system that allows you to constantly be improving your favorite weapons. There are also lots of variety in the enemies and level design, as nothing is truly the same.

    There are puzzle sections with Clank that are brief but fun along with some secrets hidden around in the world that are a joy to find. The only bad thing about the gameplay is the hacking mini game, which is really boring but thankfully it isn't often.

    The game is also beautiful looking as well. There isn't much about the game that looks bad, it really is an amazing looking game. 60FPS would have been nice, but I never really noticed it being in 30fps.

    The only real downside is some of the story. It's simple which is fine, and some of the humor and characters work, but when the humor misses the mark it REALLY misses the mark. Some of it is the worst I have heard, partly because of the jokes but also because of the delivery. Despite that, Ratchet, Clank and the Captain are all cool characters that I can't wait to see more of.

    There is also a New Game + mode which allows you to further upgrade your weapons, upgrade Ratchet's health and allows you face some new enemies at a higher challenge.

    This is really a must have for any PS4 owner out there. It is a relatively cheap game and there isn't any DLC or Microtransactions. You would be hard pressed to not at least partially enjoy this game.    … Expand

Oyun bana göre Playstation 4 ün en iyi 5 oyunundan biri. Mutlaka oynamalısınız. Başlarda kolay gelsede sabırlı olup bir sonraki bölümleri beklemenizi tavsiye ederim.

    Ratchet & Clank looks and plays as well as it ever has. Fans will enjoy the nostalgic journey through familiar planets, while newcomers will appreciate the chaotic and creative weaponry. But for the ninth game in a franchise that built its name on unique weapons, it’s a shame that the arsenal just coasts on fan-favorites. Insomniac played it safe.

    Insomniac Games did not just remake this classic platformer. They boldly bombarded it with ideas and then rebuilt it pixel by pixel using methods unknown 13 years ago. The result is magnificent. [06/2016, p.50]
