Ratchet & Clank (PS2)

My enthusiasm for this game is virtually limitless. The menu of my PS2 indicates that my current game of Ratchet and Clank has clocked up over 80 hours of game play – and I’m as eager to keep playing it now as I have ever been. Innovative, imaginative and completely addictive, this game will have you hooked from the outset, and has so many features and ingredients that even now I am finding new things to do. It’s almost tempting to leave it there and tell you just to go and play it, but I guess you might want to know a bit more, so I’ll try and fill you in. THE STORY BEHIND THE GAME The hero of this tale is a cat-like mechanic called Ratchet from a ...  Read the complete review

Created by Insomniac, who had created Spyro on the PSone, I had mixed hopes for this game because Spyro had its ups and downs, but a demo that I played convinced me of getting this game on the 8th of April 2002. It is that good I remember the date.

Ratchet is a mechanic with a dream... that dream is to explore the galaxy. However, being only a mechanic it's unlikely he'll ever get that chance... that is, until a space ship crash lands near by and out pops a little robot who proceeds to tell ratchet about the evil plan of Chairman Drek, the evil ruler of a neighbouring planet who is plotting to destroy other planets in the galaxy in order to prolong the existence of his own.

Ratchet & Clank was one of the first 3D platform games released for the Playstation 2. As it has now been around for quite some time, it has gone platium, which means you can pick it up from any game store for just £19.99. This game is really one for all ages and it has so much in-depth and feature packed game play, that it will keep you busy for weeks on end. The story of the game focuses on the two main characters; Ratchet and Clank. Ratchet is a Lombax street-smart mechanic with fox-like ears, from a backwater world called Veldin who is one for an adventure. When he bumps into Clank (after a crash landing escape), who is an inteligent robot who ...  Read the complete review
