    My biggest problem with this review is that Aaron Thomas makes claims without elaborating. Saying that the game simply has too many mechanics as the primary reason for docking points doesn't explain what's wrong.

    Were the mini games terrible? Did they clearly detract from the core experience? His vague explanation is that it makes the game suffer an "identity crisis." Oh, and don't forget "variety is the spice of life, but there is such a thing as too much spice." If a game's core mechanics change to accommodate for different situations, how exactly is that a bad thing? I feel like this guy is outlawing variety all together.

    I swear this guy is terrible in every review. I think Heavenly Sword was the only decent review he had.

    That had to be like the worst review ever, this game should've been like at 8.9 or even a 9. Too underrated for such a great game, to a great Franchise

    deserves a 10 tbh

    Ah, if only this game really had that midnight brown soundtrack, it would be the best game EVER!!!

    Yeah, I'm about to pick this up so I can play through it before Crack in Time. In the video I really didn't see many mechanics that weren't in the older games. I loved the older games so I'm sure there is plenty to like about this one.

    Kitchen sink-style gameplay???? What be this?

  • scarface_dm

    I think the score is just about right on

    worst reviewer ever.......way underrated. reviewer should get fired. average score is 8.9. review is flawed

    underrated

    lol this dudes an idiot. This game deserves way more than a 7.5 and whats all that bs about it having too many gameplay mechanics? Thats one of the main reasons this game is so good. Shooting dudes and collecting stuff is awesome but in can get repetetive after a while. Its nice to see that the developer didnt just think "Im going to copy ever other game in this genre". The many gameplay mechanics makes this a unique and fresh experience in a fairly old franchise.

    So he didnt liked the game because its has variety?

  • brickdoctor

    Posted Oct 4, 2009 10:38 am PT

    7.5? This game is a lot better than that! Hopefully they find a different reviewer for a Crack in Time!

  • gabor_sama

    I just bought this game along with Quest for Booty and just wow, these games are so much fun, pity I never played the PS2 ones!

  • chedder221

    I'm still going to get this game

    Haha, looking at all the comments it's clear you all don't like this review. R&C is my favorite series ever. So when I saw that GS gave it 7.5 I was shocked. Then I saw this review, and this guy is a clear R&C hater. Next time GS, don't get a game hater to review a game.

  • Screwmefree

    Posted Sep 13, 2009 12:31 pm PT

    Ha, I just beat this game, and I wondered why the hell GS would give it such a low rating. Judging by the comments, the reviewer is the one giving the rating. Dude definitely isn't consistent.

    Worst review ever!

    I hope A Crack in Time gets a better review than this one did.

    First PS3 game.

  • Hancock495

    Posted Sep 4, 2009 5:58 pm PT

    I don't get this reviewer i mean he says so many good things about a game then gives it a low rating.

  • viper_blade

    Posted Aug 24, 2009 2:01 pm PT

    this game rocks! its easy at times, but not enought to notice. seriously, get some better reviewers!!

  • hamzah1235

    this was a bad review, this game deserves at the least a 9, im glad this reviewer is gone

  • ps3gamer1234

    Posted Aug 23, 2009 9:15 am PT

    Its a great game. The graphics are great.

    What is a kitchen sink style gameplay? I have no clue but it must relate to Aaron Thomas' constant need for too much food.

  • jakethesnake159

    Posted Aug 15, 2009 11:27 am PT

    this game is alsome.

  • matt_teh_gamuh

    Posted Aug 10, 2009 4:39 pm PT

    what i dont get is, why doesnt ratchet keep the guns from previous games, he should just whip out the dual raptors v100 lol

  • mikey1611

    Posted Aug 4, 2009 6:22 pm PT

    I just realized how good the sync is between the voice and the mouth movements. Guessed I enjoyed this game too much to notice

  • mgkennedy5

    Posted Jul 31, 2009 6:27 pm PT

    Why 7.5? Your review made it sound like you liked it more than that...

  • Jak_Napier

    Posted Jul 29, 2009 4:05 pm PT

    amazing game and a great PS3 exclusive title for every PS3 to have in their collection.

  • campzor

    "Why dont we just add spaceships and rails too" Has this guy even played the old ratchet and clanks? HOpe he gets fired.

  • WWE4lyfe123

    Posted Jul 23, 2009 2:54 pm PT

    game deserves at least a 9, but not a 7.5

    this game is awesome i give it a 9.5

  • Ikouze

    Posted Jul 14, 2009 1:37 pm PT

    What the hell is wrong with this guy he gives this game a 7.5? It needs at least a 9! This guy can't review. How can you say that a game has to much to do? It's called variety. Not going around blowing up the same enemies over and over again. This guy sucks as a reviewer.

  • oosagie810

    Posted Jul 13, 2009 3:29 pm PT

    IGN- 9.4
    GameTrailers- 9.0
    Gamespot- 7.5???

    By the way this guy is such a bad reviewer. Too much stuff to do in a game? and that's a bad thing? the reason a game should have "too much stuff to do" is to keep the game from being repetitive. And complaining about a cliffhanger? Assassins Creed had a cliffhanger and you guys loved the game. Seriously this guy is a moron.

    what a horrible review trust ign instead
    mario galaxy had different gameplay and they gave that a great score
    only agree with him on few things
    great graphics
    like a movie
    kinda easy
    SO MUCH BETTER THAN GALAXY!!!!!!!!

  • TurtlePerson2

    Posted Jul 8, 2009 3:32 pm PT

    I just finished it and I think that everything the reviewer says is true, but the number is a bit unfair considering that none of the mini-games really detract from the experience. None of the mini-games were overused and none of them were boring.

  • chaor52

    one of my favorite games i've beaten it like 8 or 9 times

  • reyace

    its looks alright

  • Imakuleus

    Posted Jun 29, 2009 7:09 pm PT

    I just picked it up, it's a greatest hit alright

  • CanOfPie

    Posted Jun 29, 2009 6:10 pm PT

    But seriously, this deserved an 8.5 at the very least.
    gamespot has more critics than any othergame reviewing sites ive ever seen

  • CanOfPie

    Posted Jun 29, 2009 6:01 pm PT

    1. You lack expression!!
    2. I love the fact that he gives away that the ending is a cliffhanger.
    3. Overrall, bad review.

    I give Tools of Destruction an 8.5 I give this review a 6.0

  • trim9001

    Posted Jun 28, 2009 3:16 am PT

    well I think that the score they gave was way too low but 9 is way too high

    the game is good...compared to the other ones... its much better....the only real thing that i found that drops the game's value is the oline mode which i don't know y they removied... on the ps2 i dind't have online as i dind't install the expansion pack but i always wanted to play online... the PSP version did it really badly.... sucks that they don't have ANY multiplayer at all....

    i think the game is about an 8
