Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction

Not your average shooter

Tools of Destruction is the first game in the Ratchet and Clank's PS3 trilogy. Ratchet and Clank games on the PS2 were heaps of fun but Tools of Destruction (ToD) doesn't live up to my expectations.

ToD is a platformer/third person shooter. Blasting enemies is still great fun and the humor is still there. The game is rather easy though and the story is not of the series best.

What I like:
-Nice looking visuals
-Good controls and interface
-Loads of different weapons
-Still has humour
-Surprisingly high level of re playability for a shooter.

What I didn't like:
-Difficulty level is inconsistent
-Multiplayer?
-Dissappointing ending
-Series has become formulaic

ToD is destruction is the first entry to the PS3 trilogy and it gets of too a merely "good" start. The gameplay mechanics is starting to show its age.
