Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction - first impressions
I was always aware of the Ratchet & Clank series on the PS2 but for some reason i never played one. This time around with PS3 titles in short supply i finally bought my first game in the series.
After a couple of hours i can honestly say WOW and smile at the same time. WOW because the game is simply beautiful. Closer to an animated film than any game has managed before. The game does showcase some of the PS3’s power with the background having buidlings collapse and ships constantly moving around with the engine handling everything effortlessly.
What i have loved so far is the weapons and i cannot stress how important the upgrade of weapons is. I am not usually looking to collect all items in a game but because i want to upgrade my weapons i explore the levels to find as many bolts and leviathan souls as possible. My puny gun has now been fully upgraded and is a blast to use. And there so many options of weapons to use just a click away.
With an easy to manage inventory system you are always trying new things even if the game does not require you to do so to progress. Although the game’s checkpoints appear to get more spaced out as i go along it is still a pretty easy game so far.
I am thinking of which weapons to upgrade next and what their effect will be. Can’t wait to get home and play some more. That is a sign of a good game.
