Sony Computer Entertainment of America and Insomniac Games bring action/shooter/platformer/character/adventure game 'Ratchet and Clank' to the Playstation 2.
IGN REVIEW:
Quote:
- Presentation - Seamless menus and no loading times. A clean, well polished game in all regards. 9.2
- Graphics - Immense landscapes and incredibly quanitities of polygons on screen. Decent to good character design, and a honed, burnished look. 9.4
- Sound - Weirdly, the genericized techno music sounds good here, and the voice acting, though familiar in style, works. 9.0
- Gameplay - Although it's got weapons and a unique monetary style, Insominac's effort is still a platformer at its heart, and a deep, enjoyable one at that. 9.0
- Lasting Appeal - Requiring more than 20 hours to play, Ratchet and Clank has a lot to offer, plus many rewards for collecting all the extras. 9.5
OVERALL SCORE (not an average) 9.2

"Ratchet & Clank skillfully avoids most of the traps that hold back the majority of modern platform games and presents a fantastic, well-balanced, story-driven adventure"

This highly-anticipated game also received a 9/10 from PSM, who awarded the title 'GAME OF THE MONTH', and EGM gave the game an average of 8.5/10, awarding it their 'SILVER AWARD'.
After reading the reviews, watching the video interviews, watching trailers, and gawking at screenshots, I will definately be picking up this game as soon as it hits my local EB (which should be today, the 5th, or tomorrow, the 6th)
