Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time (Game Review)

"My Blaster Runs, Really, Really, Really, Hot."

Easily one of the Best Ratchet and Clank games i have ever played, from the voice acting to the graphical detail. The story follows right where we left off Ratchet and Clank are separated from some sort of time dimension. So a good portion of the game has two story lines going simultainusly, Ratchet finds another Lombax names Azimuth who is exiled because he unknowing helped the destruction of the Lombax planet. So both Ratchet and Azimuth team up to try and find Clank and this Great Clock which has the power to control time. Without giving away too much its a farily entertaining story filled with laughs and ginormous explosions. While the story was fullfilling it felt on the shorter side, when comparing it to the last game. In the last game it felt like you traveled to easily 25+ planets, while in this game it was a mere 13 planets. However this is not including all the space battles, and the side space moons you can explore for Zoni and Gun upgrade. So while playing, i still landed on all the moons and even completed the


Battle Arena and it still left me wanting a little more story continuation. Also while the explosions where exciting and left no screen tearing, or slowdown, some of the smoke animation was horrendous. So Horrendous that at times i couldn't tell if the developers left it in for a comical effect or if they simply overlooked it, because 98% of the game is fucking Gorgeous. Both the length and the smoke are the only things that let me down, but thouse are so minor. The ammount of guns and upgrades are mind numbing and it is alot easier to upgrade your weapons faster, which in turn wants you to purchase more weapons and see what there Maximum upgrade is. For example Buzz Blades -> Doom Blades, need i say more. Even the armor upgrades, just looked amazing bad ass, and not stupid comical like the last game.

The Villan Dr. Nefarious is the best, hes hallriously evil and steals the show completely i hope the next game has him. Before i forget, the boss fights... while they are pretty epic, Insomniac studios defenintly turned down the difficulty, i suggest playing on hard the first way through. In the End Story will have a pretty dramatic twist, even if its a little expected... A Crack In Time is Defentily one of the better Ratchet and Clank Games out there, definitely play it, its fun, its a riot, and you can Blow shit up.
