Title: Does Ratchet & Clank Suck!!
Post by: Zolar on November 21, 2002, 02:04:17 AM
I"m having a blast with this game.  The Graphics surpass Jax & Daxter.  If you like Jax & Daxter, you will love Ratchet & Clank!!

BTW:  METRO PRIME is ****ing amazing!!

Ratchet & Clank is one of the best 3D platformers ever made.

Haven\'t played Metroid, it\'s not released here til March :mad:

I have it, and I think it\'s not only one of the best platformers, but also one of the best ps2 games.

Its an AMAZING game! Puh!!

The graphics = :eek: (better than J&D IMO)
The gameplay = :eek: (sofar IMO better than J&D, much more humour and better characters, better exploration aswell.. It might not offer as much freedom though.)

I just got to the space station last night, thats the best level sofar..
Very cool Gadgets btw ..

I just have the demo, and my first impressions were that it looked great, but after playing J&D, the movement seemed really slow to me. I played through the demo though, and later found myself wanting to go back and play more, so it definitely has me wanting more.

That demo is corrupted or old... the game runs pretty fast.

I should clarify, I didn\'t mean that the game itself was slow, it was more to do with how fast Ratchet runs. I\'ve been playing J&D a lot lately, and Ratchet doesn\'t run as fast as Jak, but the game itself runs fast and very smoothly. Now, if Ratchet should be running as fast as Jak, then maybe I do have a bad or old copy of the demo.

I might pick it up: I like platformers. The last one I bought (Maximo) was alright, although not outstanding.

I got a question for those who have R&C.  Do you notice some pretty nasty jaggies at times, and then others it\'s perfectly clean?

I thought it just might be my TV.

EDIT: An example for those who don\'t know what I\'m talking about.  I just reached Metropolis... when you get on the train, the cutscene puts on a major jaggie fest.  The buildings look worse then VF4 jaggies.

Alright, I have a question.  I bought the Winter Jampack that had a playable demo of R&C on it.  Played through the first level no problems and even had some fun.  (The city level)

The next level availabe was Blackwater or Black something...anyways, there is a bunch of water.  I got to the point where I had to set off the water and it started filling up the rooms as I was running.  Well, I could never run fast enough or swim fast enough to keep from drowning...did I miss something?  

Anywho, it pissed me off and I struck it out from my must-buy list for the time being.  I love platform games and am willing to give it another go, but not if there are instances in the game that keep you coming back for trial and error.

Thanks in advance.

Keep pushing R1,X and forward at the same time repeatedly.Its the only way.Your heli-pack will help you move far distances that way.

Ratchet and Clanks kicks some serius booty


I decided to dig up an old R+C thread rather then start a new one

I agree with most of you.... R+C surpasses J+D in storyline, objectives, and fun !!!!!

I love the worlds, the humor, and the blowing shit up

the weapons/gadgets are very interesting and creative and they\'re  balanced extremely well. The game encourages you to use almost all of them

R+C is the best platformer on the PS2 and arguably one of the best platformers ever made on any system

Sheesh, some more of this and R&C is getting more positive feedback than it honestly should :p

Teehee, Ginks can\'t play good enough, nyahnyah...

The game kicks soo much ass, but I can\'t play it at the moment because my PS2 took a trip to aqua land (see OT)

I just beat the game a few days ago.... looking at the goodies menu, I\'m suprised there are so many things to unlock.

Keeping your weapons from the previous game is definitely a big plus, too.

This is easily one of my favorite games of the year... so damn fun.
