Ratchet & Clank New Screenshots

I can\'t wait 30 days to go

Get your nuts in with new screens from the PS2\'s finest platformer to date.

It\'s hard to know exactly when it started, but at some point the phrase \'cutesy platformer\' became a term of abuse. Come on people, it\'s not like we don\'t have enough rally games or squad-based shooters, is it? Ratchet & Clank might look cuter than a kitten in a basket of flowers, but they\'re as cool as gaming characters come.

Developed by Insomniac Games, Ratchet & Clank is without doubt one of the most refreshing titles to appear in a long while. Listing the game\'s features is like ticking off items from a platform fan\'s wish-list: beautifully measured controls, vast technicolor levels to explore and enough bonkers gizmos to put The Gadget Shop out of business. Our eponymous heroes find themselves charged with defeating Chairman Dreck and his robotic army before they can harvest the galaxy of all its natural resources. As the game progresses you\'ll find yourself zipping between 18 different planets, with numerous sub-quests and boss encounters to tackle.

Spend as long as you like poring over these new screens, because Ratchet & Clank doesn\'t just deserve your attention - it requires love. Look closely and you can even spot Clank morphed into a giant mech and stomping on Drek\'s \'bots. If this game isn\'t near the top of every end of year PS2 poll, we\'ll eat a bag full of bolts.

*Ratchet & Clank is released exclusively for PS2 on 8 November. Get the definitive verdict on the game and enjoy a massive playable demo with issue #26 of Official PlayStation 2 Magazine, on sale 9 October. If you\'re after even more gadget-related goodness, head over to the official

Wow these look great!:eek:

:eek:

impressive, this is one of my most wanted games. Thanx for the links

mmmmmmmmmmmm nice..........

It\'s a good game but it\'s not a huge leap from somthing like J&D or Crash.

Heat i\'ve seen several movies of this game, and I think there is a nice leap between J&D and R&C in backgrounds. They are bigger, much more detailed and colorist.

[Evi]

This looks like Jak and Daxter...except better. I havent seen any of the movies yet, or played the game...so I\'m not one to judge. I\'m gonna have to try this one one..it looks sweet...

Sweet.. Keep pushing it.

Im getting this for sure

I\'ve played it, trust me.

It would be nice for once if you could use more than 2 words per post...

:surprised



Anyway...
You said there isn\'t much of a change between this and J&D, do you still recommend it?

I hate platformers but I actually enjoyed it, so if you like platformers you\'ll probably love it.

I like flying but it\'s pretty hard to get used to, I also hate those bloody giant fish that eat you.

I like some platformers, like Sonic, Mario, J&D, Sly Cooper and I hope Ratchet and Clank.

Are there fish in Ratchet in Clank too, or are you talking about Jak and Daxter



BTW: This is off topic but, when is Smackdown SYM coming out? Is it this year, I couldn\'t find a solid release date anywhere
