Ratchet & Clank (2002) - MobyGames (2024)

The Good
The vast environments and colors were spectacular and the weapons were great! Ratchet and Clank were "made for each other". Their smart one-liners and whimsical humor made the game even more enjoyable.

The Bad
The storyline was too cutsy, Ratchet and Clank lit it up with their humor, but it overshadowed the lacking storyline. I hope they make a more in-depth storyline in Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando.

The Bottom Line
Enjoyable for everybody of all ages. But, please do not try any of these weapons at home, believe me people have tried.

The Good
Ratchet And Clank is a game where it is different then any other PS2 yet. You can blast many objects and a god storyline with humor, action, adventure, and betrayal..... The game has many weapons including a gun that turns your enemies into chickens. Missions include doing Star Wars type sky shooting to shoot down minions. And not to mention the game is futuristic so expect to see future like things like different planets, robots [duh] and other future like things you see in the Jetsons.

The Bad
Even though it's a good game there is still always downsides. Such as the "Skill Points" they can take a long time to solve.

The Bottom Line
It is unlike any other game I ever saw. And for less than $30, it would make a comforting gift for any being. My Overall Rating Is A 9 out of 10! Way To Go Insomiac! Keep It Up!

The Good
This is a first-rate, addictive and entertaining platform game, re-energised such games after PS1 favourite Crash utterly failed to make it as a PS2 platforming hero. Ratchet and Clank is filled with interesting levels, weapons, enemies and gadgets. Added to that are the terrific cut-scenes involving humorous but well-thought-out characters and first-class vocals, not to mention the gorgeous, amazingly-detailed graphics and good soundtrack.

The Bad
Er....a few annoying sub-games.

The Bottom Line
Ratchet, a furry alien being, is a humble mechanic who dreams of being a hero. One day he comes across a little robot, Clank, who needs to find the well-known adventurer and heroic Captain Qwark in order to stop a ruthless money-mad tycoon. So you, as Ratchet (though you also occasionally play as Clank) must journey through various fully-3D platform worlds in order to track down the captain, and ultimately throw a spanner (or should that be ratchet :) into the destructive workings of Chairman Drek and his army of robots and other horrors. Weapons and gadgets can be obtained with the use of bolts, which are hidden in boxes or can be obtained from enemies you've marmalized. The weapons will gradually increase in power with frequent use, and ammo is available from vending machines scattered about the various worlds.
