Hands-on: Ratchet & Clank: A Crack In Time
by Pebtelljems on Jun.09, 2009, under Gadgets, Media, Video Games
I’ve always admired Ratchet & Clank from a distance. While none of the games have clicked with me, I do recognize — and would recommend — the series as a reputable, go-to option for anyone interested in family-friendly, action titles. (Having spent more time playing Insomniac’s Resistance games than its Ratchet & Clanks, I’d still cite the latter as the studio’s best work.) My initial impression of Ratchet & Clank: A Crack In Time is that the fifth sequel is on par with its predecessors, if not outdoing them through technical and visual improvements.

Hands-on: Red Steel 2

After the awkward and misguided mess that was Ubisoft’s Red Steel , it must sound like damning praise to say, “Well, the sequel’s much better.” After all, Nintendo’s newfangled MotionPlus attachment has come to save the day, introducing one-to-one movement and finally delivering the sword fighting extravaganza that all those energetic Wii players have been enjoying in the commercials. Unfortunately, MotionPlus’ binding to Red Steel 2 doesn’t feel particularly effective in combating the original game’s flaws. It’s a miss, like sticking a band-aid on someone’s knee after they’ve been poisoned. If the MotionPlus makes a fundamental difference to the gameplay, it’s not immediately apparent within the framework of a pretty insipid combat system.
