Review – Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction
In a nutshell: Ratchet & Clank’s debut on the PS3 brings a visually pleasing, fairly easy platformer that is still a lot of fun to play.
Why you should play it: Vibrant visual style. Controls are spot-on with a near-perfect layout. Fun variety of levels to play through. Loads of awesome gadgets and guns at your disposal. Some of the best platforming this generation of consoles has to offer. Clank levels do a decent job of changing up the pace of the game.
Why you may want to avoid it: Can be much too easy, especially early on. Bland story will make many gamers lose interest quickly. Space shooter levels felt pointless and out-of-place.
Final Thoughts: Having never played any Ratchet & Clank game before I must say that I was very impressed and am now a fan of the series. If Insomniac makes a few improvements, I can easily see myself giving A Crack in Time 5 stars. As for Tools of Destruction, it is one of the best 4 star games out there and most definitely worth playing through at least one time.
