| The Ratchet & Clank series, your impressions? |

I've never played any of them and there is a few reasons for that I guess. One is a perceived similarity to Jak & Daxter, a series I had long ago invested in, enjoyed, and still yet to complete. To me, this sort of left Ratchet looking like an also-ran. Secondly, the sheer number of entries is daunting. I like 3D platformers, but that's a lot of entries for a game that debuted during the PS2 era. Lastly, I've always felt turned away from the games because I found the subtitles hideously juvenile, and thought if the in-game humor was anything similar, I might not be able to stomach it and actually enjoy the game. But I know there are plenty of Ratchet fans out there. How are the games actually? Good? Worth investing into all 20 sequels? Any that are particularly better than the others? I ask because I finally popped on a cheap copy of "Going Commando" the other day. |

Honestly, I'm like you. I played Jak & Daxter. I absolutely love Daxter on PSP. I know I have Ratchety and Clanky games somewhere in my collection but never had the incentive to pull it out and play. I know "up your arsenal" is one of more popular one in the Ps2 series. |

If you are going to grab any of the PS2 entries and have a PS3 you might as well get a used copy of Ratchet & Clank Collection HD Remastered. You'll get all three PS2 entries for the price of 1. There is a demo of the first entry in the PS3 series you can download for free off of PSN. It got pulled in by the demo mainly because it was the first PS3 game I played that made good on the promise of animated graphics so good you'd swear your playing a cartoon. The situations are campy but the voice acting is good which gives it charm for me. The various weapons are fun to use. I like it for when I am in a "turn my brain off, collect bolts, and watch eye candy" mood. I've beaten the first one for PS3 I own the second because my wife thought I loved the first one. The HD collection I got for $14 so why the hell not? That said I know the feeling of "played one, played them all." I can't get into Sly Cooper now because it feels like a Ratchet & Clank clone. |
