Ratchet and Clank Review:
This classic PS2 game is the first in a series and still stands the test of time when playing it again.
I first played this several years ago and I still enjoy it.
The game revolves around Ratchet who finds a small robot named Clank that crashes into his world. Clank helps Ratchet get his ship up and running and Ratchet must take him on an adventure to many planets.
This game has many diffent weapons and tools like Swingshots, Blasters, Drones and of course Ratchet's Wrench. You go through the levels and collect bolts which is the local currency. You can then buy ammo and weapons from Gadgetron vendors stationed throughout the maps. There is also a person who sells the R.Y.N.O. That is a powerful missile launcher that shoots 9 deadly missiles at once with autolock which really helps in the last level when you return to Ratchet's home planet. You can also buy health upgrades from planet Orxon nanotech vendor.
The main bad guy in this game is Drek although Captain Qwark is annoying as well. The levels feature many adversaries such as robots, frogs, flying ships and other space enemies to beat as you make your way through each level.
This game is great for all ages. There are also ship battles in the sky where you have to shoot things down and you also have to go to two teleporters in the game, one is the teleporter right before the last boss and the other turns you into Giant Clank. The other one has a ring nearby which spawns giant robots. If you kill these continuously, then jump off into the abyss and keep doing it over and over, then you will eventually have enough bolts for the coveted RYNO and the Nanotechs. This is the fastest way in the game to collect bolts as you get over 1500 bolts every time Giant Clank battles the robots in this circle.
My only critisism is that the last level could have used a few more checkpoints so you do not have to start all the way at the beginning of the relatively hard level. The RYNO could have also been a bit cheaper!
Overall for a PS2 game, I rate this game an 8.5.
