Day 43 - Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in Time

Now even more Ratchety!  (tm) (c)

No but I kid. Who can't like the Ratchet and Clank series?  Well to be brutally honest, I don't own any of them but they sure are fun. I thing after playing this demo I may pick one up finally. The characters all are perfectly made with all of their little quips and quirky ways. When I play a current gen console this is what I expect my platformers to perform like. It is fluid, it is high def, it is beautiful.  And it is comical as well.

I was pressed for time while playing this demo so my time was brief but the 10 minutes I did play I loved to death. Not having played too many similar games I was unsure what all of the bolts and such I was collecting were for but it was easy to just jump in to the game and wail your way through scores of enemies.  

The hover boots were fantastic.  I didn't realize that you needed to hold down a button to constantly power them so on the very first ramp I hover booted my ass straight the fuck in to the chasm to my death. I had to laugh as I respawned. The second time around I made the jump perfectly. 

Verdict: Yeah.  Adding to the list
