An almost perfect game!

So for the time being: In platformers you should never expect an amazing story. It should be known that it comes to the villain Drek who wants to remove using a giant laser parts from other planets and thus to build a new planet for Blarg.

So the gameplay in Ratchet is Clank is simple but simply ingenious. It lands on a planet makes its way to a main objective (and done incidentally also important side missions). But on the way to wait a few surprises on a. For example, you have to enter the robot factory in Quartu, attract a Holo-Disguise, thus to outwit enemy robots.

The design of the game is really very well done. The little putzigere, cartoonish design is really well done! The different planets 18 are designed varied and creative. Especially the cities and towns are very good! Novalis a really somewhat reminiscent of New York City. And Blackwater City has something very urban and gloomy in itself.

During the game there are some mini-games and competitions. In Blackwater City and the Gadgetron HQ expect a 2 Hoverboardrennen. These are not easy, but fun and waving some useful bonuses such as the Hydro projector, which allows you to suck water from one basin to drain into another.

Then sometimes stands in front of lasers or closed doors, you must open using a Dietrich. This is somewhat complicated and lengthy and I personally have not yet figured until now: D

Also waiting are other small challenges as a without drowning which is not easy in Blackwater City, where you have to walk within an extremely short period of time by filling up with water route. Such time tasks, there are always, for example you have to ignite an explosive device in a space station and then flee in time.

Space battles with other ships are also on offer, but you can not improve his Ships and you can only use rockets or a kind machine gun. This is of course not for the normal weapons.

I have never seen such a selection! In the beginning you think still: "Jaa..toll Blaster, flamethrowers and rocket launchers I've seen a thousand times .." Think again! Here is a huge arsenal of weapons is called up, which can be very useful in a variety of situations. If you have, for example, concentrate on a big opponent, but at the same time make a smaller opponents life miserable, there is the death glove. This secretes balls from showing jump nanorobots and attack opponents in the immediate vicinity. For strong opponents, which you do not want to get too close or that are in the air, you can wipe out using the Visibomben. These are missiles that you can steer with the joystick and can be controlled to a certain distance back.

Well, unfortunately cost good weapons, such as the current claw money [Bolts, which is the currency] and you have of course always buy more ammunition. Bolts do you get by defeating enemies or crates smashed where Bolts are included. Sometimes, as with the boss you suffer financial difficulties already, the ammunition is expensive and money does not grow on trees eventually ;-)

Those were all the positive Aspekte..jetzt get a few things that have turned me a little stomach ..

If you die, you will return to the next save point zurück..diese are sometimes a bit unfair. For example, in Veldin if you die shortly before the boss, you have to start again in this water basin. >.>
It's a bit annoying when you played very well and everything has to do all over again.

What is also to complain about is the fact that after each death, the ammunition and the money will NOT be refunded automatically. You have to buy all the ammo after each death, but nochmal..und the hurts in the wallet.

In addition, the difficulty is sometimes a bit more demanding, which actually turn constitutes the charm of the game: D

So again the summary:

+ Funny story and nice comments
+ Successful comic graphics
+ Motivating minigames
+ 2 addictive Hoverboardrennen: D
+ Futuristic soundtrack
+ Very good platforming deposits

- Ammunition and Bolts must always be replaced
- Memory points slightly unfair

CONCLUSION:

A very good platformer with many witty and clever ideas, a creative and varied landscaped surroundings and challenging battles and minigames!

BUY !!
