Ratchet and Clank A Crack in Time review

[Persegan]

1:37 "using a puzzle mechanic that hasn't been seen in a game before"?!?!?! What about Blinx and Blinx 2??!?!? Those were great games :'(

[theAwsomeAwsome666]

in Ratchet and clank 2 (Maktar Nebula - Jamming Array) you were able to platform on sphere shaped planets. The game came out in 2003, before Super Mario Galaxy.

[Edit6ix]

Inspired by super mario galaxy? This was in the original ps3 ratchet game...

[wwesonyfan]

Why the need to mention Modern Warfare 2, it's really irritating.

[RobbanFoxer]

thoes "super mario galaxy inspired" planets came from the first game...

[Drago5185]

aaaaaahhhhhh crack in time the game I ever hundred percented

[tommi2580]

They can't stop this awesome game series now.. They just can't :'(

[megatimtim]

sounds like he says weapons and shit at 1:20

[Rykio2901]

can u play 2 players????

[hondalegend1]

Dr. Nefarious: Let me introduce you tooo...

Lawrence: Not the Hyper-Sonic-Brainwave-Scramble­r

Dr. Nefarious: THE HYPER-SONIC-BRAINWAVE-SCRAMBLA

[jdoub5678]

@hondalegend1 lol im so stupid to trade this game in :( i loved it ill get it for christmas or all 4 one tht was a funny part

[swiftyrocks08]

Tools of destruction was great. But A Crack in Time was mind blowing fun. Best of the series by a longshot. Keep em coming.

[TyranikingPT]

this guy almost never finishes the games he reviews...

[MrSicnarf23]

I can't believe he compared this to cod...

[Timesplitter95]

@MrSicnarf23 he never compared just stated its got a long story than it jesus are u thick

[MrSicnarf23]

@Timesplitter95 yah i know but this world is cod crazy just the fact that that was the first game he thought to compare ANYTHING to makes me cringe a little. don't get me wrong i love cod its high in my christmas list but the world is a little too obsessed is all

[bigtimgettinit]

this is the best ratchet and clank game ever made besides tools of destruction.

[jackvscapcom]

and yet he still mentions call of duty

[chride87]

is there only 3 rachet games for ps3 ?

[MrRavenousRhinos]

Ratchet deadlocked wins

[Hello015469]

This reviewer has, indeed, a weird voice....

[alexis360100]

why the hell do ppl think that bushy black eyebrows will make ratchet look cooler??

[IMmephiles]

@alexis360100 well, all 4 one doesnt have them

[alexis360100]

@IMmephiles its only in the japanese version

[IMmephiles]

@alexis360100 why did they switch the eyebrows for japan?

[alexis360100]

@IMmephiles thats my question, why? mabye its to make ratchet look japanese but it just makes him look stupid, im soo glad they didnt add them in the european version or id be screaming at my TV screen!

[IMmephiles]

@alexis360100 indeed. im european too, so, whats in the US version?

[alexis360100]

@IMmephiles theres is the same as the european version (thankfully!)

[Z3kedog]

weapons and shit?

[meeca134]

2:05

WTF

look at ratchet's eyebrows.

[connor7772009]

@meeca134 lol, he died them i geuss lol

[TheLeoOfCostaRica]

@meeca134

He looks like Bogdan from Breaking Bad. XD

[CardCaptorDeadpool]

@meeca134 seriously needs a plucking

[xHAZELRAHx]

Are you kidding? His voice is audible chocolate

[GIR177]

This guy has no idea WTF he's talking about. Can we get someone who actually played ALL the games? "Gameplay mechanic I haven't seen before with recording yourself, it's hard for me to explain." It's actually not hard, and we've seen this time manipulation way back for the time time in Blinx and Blinx 2.

[Makookla]

Although I love the hoverboots, I can't help but think they were put in the game to sort of make up for not having Clank for most of the game.

Still an amazing game though. :)

[DALCRUSHER]

the guy said he never played through the other ratchet and clanks. he wasnt lying, hence he said "and NOW you have some cool hover boots" which are ACTUALLY classics. these reviews are shit.

[sok213]

did you just mention modern warfare 2 in a ratchet and clank review?

[ninjafrogs97]

0:20 Rule #1: The Great Clock is NOT to be used as a time machine. Rule #2: If you want to use The Great Clock as a time machine...........CONSULT RULE NUMBER 1!!!!

[Ryanator008]

@ninjafrogs97 LOL That's what my brother said after we watched that cut-seen and I tried to explain the story to him.

[ccbmfan]

i agree



[ExtremeGamer9951]

SMG came out after RandC. So it is the OTHER way around SMG was inspired by ratchet and clank.

[blackhawke5]

i have played RAC ACIT and i agree it was the best in the series

[blackhawke5]

i have played RAC ACIT and i agree it was the best in the series

[bananamancanbmc]

i honestly dont get how everytime i see a RAC: ACIT review, they always say its the best in the series. dont get me wrong, im a huge RAC fan, but this game pissed me off. this is why:

1.the weapon upgrades did nothing to the actual weapons. infact the sniper rifle didnt change at al on V5!

2. we never found out where the lombaxes are. it was all about clank and the clock.

3. the alien races were really stale and annoying

4. the worlds were flat, unlike in RAC: TOD.

5. no aphelion

[Hentarded]

@bananamancanbmc don't you know of the lombaxes in TOD?

[ExtremeGamer9951]

@bananamancanbmc 4. Spherical worlds

5. APHELION WAS YOUR SHIP DUMBASS.

[bananamancanbmc]

@ExtremeGamer9951 well thanks for your opinion, but easy with the language. while you are free to say what you want, there is still a moral obligation to use basic manors. second i meant aphelion as a character. an actual talking character. not just a ship with a name.

[ExtremeGamer9951]

@bananamancanbmc When was aphelion a person. The girl was Talwyn. And Aphelion really is your ships name.

[bananamancanbmc]

@ExtremeGamer9951 i think you misunderstand me. when i said "aphelion as an actual talking character" i didnt mean like a person. i meant how aphelion had a personality and was interesting. like in RAC:TOD. they could have used her history with the lombaxes as a ways to learn more about them in ACIT. even though her memory was wiped, i still think she could have been utilized better.

[srayiii]

i honestly dont get how everytime i see a RAC: ACIT review, they always say its the best in the series. dont get me wrong, im a huge RAC fan, but this game pissed me off. this is why:

1.the weapon upgrades did nothing to the actual weapons. infact the sniper rifle didnt change at al on V5!

2. we never found out where the lombaxes are. it was all about clank and the clock.

3. the alien races were really stale and annoying

4. the worlds were flat, unlike in RAC: TOD.

5. no aphelion

[jozepic]

i played it 10 straight hours and finished it

[jozepic]

the clock is ment to keep time not to travel

[nicolopicus7]

1:17 listen carfully to what he says :D

[6AZNPRIDE]

Am i the only one that findsthis review more entertaining because of the the ( hope i have this right ) british accent.

[vuur150]

Let's all take a moment to thank ratchet and clank and rayman for keeping awesome good old gameplay, even though its bringing new idea's and graphics.

[omar5000000]

the game is way 2 short i finished it in 3 days in summer brake

[oN1GHTMAREo]

i h8 wat they did to ratchets eyebrows

[XxAlexXBM1908]

....shitheads....this is the best game ever...no, the whole ratchet and clank series is the best game ever...

[oasisbeyond]

Going Commando was the best cuz it did all of this way beofe the next games. It had it all, the strafe move changed everything for us gamers. Anyways, the later ones are just more of the same but great fun!

[bliglum]

Love the J-spec bushy eyebrowed ratchet!! He looks like more of a badass! He makes the U.S. spec ratchet looks like a metro pussy.

[BIgmanJoss]

Blinx on the original xbox used that record time thing

[Hentarded]

@BIgmanJoss finally someone remembers. sadly blinx was not as good as a crack in time, it was to complex...

[Jonesy1271]

wtf? go to 2:07 and look at ratchet's eyebrows. i don't remember them being black during that cutscene

[0megaFin]

@Jonesy1271 hahahaha.. i think that might be some kind of glitch or cheat

[theoriginalmistajonz]

@Jonesy1271 Japanese version. The studio stated that they did that for fanart reasons, whereas people generally start with the eyebrows first. There used to be an interview posted on youtube several years ago explaining it, but the Japanese Ratchet has always had bushy black eyebrows.

[puertoricanboy95]

How is A crack in time the best?

Personally I would say Up your arsenal is the best.

[jimmenycricket264]

definitely not best in the series, I'd say going commando was the best

[frankisnice123]

I LOVE RATCHET AND CLANK

[PAO13071]

for your weapon and shit xD 1:20

and dude ratchet and clank 2 and 3 had those levels too -.-

THEY RIPPED GALAXY LEVEL OF THAT NOT RATCHET FROM GALAXY!!!

[problemofficer]

can you upgrade your armor?

[mov50]

@problemofficer yes

[crispymelon44]

@problemofficer yes

[Cflores008]

@problemofficer not astheticaly, but you can still upgrade it.

[gamegirl128]

@TheRichardGHP Fine.

[OldShoolHiphop4Life]

10/10 *

[gamegirl128]

@TheRichardGHP Even though it CAN be used as a time machine, it was never meant to travel through time. That was not the purpose of it being built. "I wouldn't risk more than six minutes." Remember?

[TheRichardGHP]

@gamegirl128 We're going round in circles at this point, so I think we should just agree to disagree.

[gamegirl128]

@TheRichardGHP It CAN control time. But it's not a time machine.

[TheRichardGHP]

@gamegirl128 How so? If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, quacks like a duck.

Not supposed to be used as a time machine, but there's no question that it has all/many of the characteristics of one.

[gamegirl128]

@TheRichardGHP Excuse me? But I've actually played the game and it's said both by Orvus and Ratchet at two points in the game say that the Clock was not a time machine. It was merely created to keep time so life wouldn't end as they know it.

[TheRichardGHP]

@gamegirl128 I'm well aware that Orvus and Ratchet stressed the GC was not a time machine, but it's a machine that tells time. Put two and two together. And the Clock does have certain properties of what the phrase 'time machine' has become associated with. Look no further than the game's conclusion (when Clank uses the clock to travel six minutes back in time in order to save Ratchet).

[gamegirl128]

Not comparable to Super Mario Galaxy, the Great Clock is NOT a time machine, Nefarious is back from Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal, Clank is not a sidekick, and that is not the Spiral of Death at 0:57. You didn't even talk about the Zoni. You wouldn't know that unless you actually PLAYED the game before reviewing it. This game deserves a ten out of ten while your review deserves a zero.

[TheRichardGHP]

@gamegirl128 I can't speak for SMG, but the Great Clock is a time machine by definition. I don't think he said Dr. Nefarious was a new villain; I agree that Clank isn't a sidekick; he does show footage of the Spiral of Death, but by 0:57 he is done talking about it, so it moves on to another weapon. As for the Zoni, they aren't really relevant to the story (at least, not as relevant as they are to Tools of Destruction). I think 9 out of 10 is pretty accurate given the game's various bugs/flaws.

[anttrap321]

1:21 "for your weapons and shit"

[luisgapro]

this guy doesn't know anything about the ratchet and clack series

first of all dr.nefarious is not a new character

second of all this isn't inspired by super mario galaxy

i know all this and i am a 13 year old from Puerto Rico that has never ownd a ps2

[thedarkphire33]

COD is a shitty game and that's all my friend does any more is sit on his fat ass an play that shit! I prefer R&C, been a fan since the 1st ps2 version!

[crazyjorge2111]

@Daaaaaaaaan94 maybe cause lots of people play that shitty game.

[blueguy81]

ITS A WAR BETWEEN RATCHET AND CLANK AND SUPER MARIO GALAXY DUN DUN DUN WHO WILL WIN? THE ANSWER IS RATCHET AND CLANK

[Cacowninja]

@blueguy81 Fuck Mario he's a mute loser that wear's a gay ass uniform and stomps on goombas and koopas and other boring, uncreative, repetitive shit. Nintendo thought all they had to do was create stupid characters, put them in a dumb, boring, overcolorfull environment and they have a game. And Mario is the most popular game franchise of all TIME! Can you believe it? It sure doesn't deserve to be.

[JjKKEMBLE]

what is that game called were there is like a guy and a weasel and the weasel can talk

[JohnnyBoy7267]

@JjKKEMBLE it's called JAK

[JjKKEMBLE]

@JohnnyBoy7267 yeah i loved that game 

[superflycos123]

@JjKKEMBLE oh you mean the greatest game series of all time yea thats jak and daxter

[ps3SucksCockInHell]

Super Mario Galaxy has much better platforming than this garbage

[mikehawkpictuers]

@ps3SucksCockInHell wow your not a fag

[blueguy81]

@ps3SucksCockInHell no it dosont actully your garbage and u suck super mario galaxys balls you ugly faggot

[YouFGras]

R&C games are the best on my PS3!

Uncharted tight next to it!

[marth380]

is it just me or at 2:06 ratched really has too dark eyebrows ?

[Kim9217684]

@marth380 it's a japanese version

[chocoinfire]

That time-puzzle mecanic was already in a 2003 xbox game, Blinx, the time sweeper

[TreyRust]

2:06 HOLY #@$^ japanese ratchet scares me!

[sknkwrx]

This Is The Best In The Series.Who Could Deny? A Lot.Stop Commenting About Other RC Games Are Better! The Gun Power Thing Changing Is A Good Touch,

[kimooss]

why my game name just crack in time no future !!

[imdumb10]

i wish i had a ps3 only i dont want to shell out 400 bucks for one and about 300 more for a psp with the game daxter and ratchet and clank series

[TreyRust]

@imdumb10 a PS3 is only $300, and even though I like the psp, you shouldn't get it for the ratchet and clank and jak and daxter games, while they are good games, the PS2/PS3 ones are a million times better.

[jjjjjjjjjj11ify]

going comando is the best.

[autotitslinger]

It`s rusty pete talking!!!! or whatever the hell his name is.

[wowbreadown]

tools of destruction is far better then this one not saying this on eis bad just saying i dont agree that its "the best in the series"

[JohnnyBoy7267]

@wowbreadown no way :(

[MrSabbath11]

@wowbreadown I agree. This one was wayyy to short. Even after beating ToD I STILL kept playing for hours and hours. still my favorite is Up you Arsenal.

[JohnnyBoy7267]

@MrSabbath11 are you retarded after ACIT there is so much more to do when you finish it than TOD you probobly suck at this game,and you are wrong TOD and ACIT are not short games ratchet and clank is not made to be finished just once it took me 31 hours to finish and collect everything in ACIT so yeah.

[DannyBoy443]

What a wanker. I can't even listen to this English bastard for more than 10 seconds because of his voice. Ugh tragic.

[TheCondemnedProphet]

Ratchet was amazing on the ps2. Now they all fucking blow major balls. Fuck you insomniac for ruining this series,

[970067]

@TheCondemnedProphet what ruined it? :/

[TheCondemnedProphet]

@970067

The games all blow. The graphics is just annoying, the gameplay is really boring, and nothing as fun as the previous games. The story is absolutely fucking disgusting... Really? Magical bots where you can control time? Thats not ratchet and clank. Ratchet and clank is realistic, in its non realistic reality. This is way to unrealistic even for ratchet and clank. Its gay, and no multiplayer is homo.

[JohnnyBoy7267]

@TheCondemnedProphet you are a retard my friend

[TheCondemnedProphet]

@JohnnyBoy7267

Well, if you were a real fan, you would know that these games are pathetic compared to the previous titles. The third game was potentially one of the best games on the ps2. It was unbelievable. Those days were amazing, now we get boring stories and such.

[JohnnyBoy7267]

@TheCondemnedProphet i am a bigger fan than you i played ratchet and clank since i was a kid and back then it was a kids game,but these days it's not it's more complicated and more serious definitely the story and TOD and ACIT has the best story of every ratchet games i ever seen ,and the action,graphics,characters,and i played recently up your arsenal and it was not fun as before i finished it in 5 hours.

[TheCondemnedProphet]

@JohnnyBoy7267

No. The story was better in the old games. Your just reliable on graphics, and updates. Up your Arsenal was the best rathet game.

[DeathKnight818]

I hate it when people say that A Crack in Times moon levels were inspired by SMG...No...Ratchet and Clank 2 and 3 had these kind of levels..

[fanas1994]

@DeathKnight818 exactly i was thinking the same thing however those moos were basicly combat and destroying stuff xD

[hayabusakratos]

@DeathKnight818 THAT GAY IS AA IDIOT!!!!

[sarangjogi]

which is better? ratchet tools of destruction or a crack time

[wilkoskill]

@sarangjogi get both they are cheap. T.O.D was awsome but C.I.T has trophies and more weapons

[iscrewy]

Ratchet & Clank was doing this before SMG was even in development.

[Mastermindguy1994]

@iscrewy yyeah and sonic adventure thought of it before them both.

[iscrewy]

@Mastermindguy1994

Spherical planets were in the second R & C...

[Mastermindguy1994]

@iscrewy sonic adventure came out in 1998, way before ratchet and clank was even inn development.

[iscrewy]

@Mastermindguy1994

Did I ever say that R & C 2 came out before that game?

[Se7enBeatleofDoom]

Is this really the last Ratchet and clank game?

[Omnitrix8]

@Se7enBeatleofDoom Insomniac stated that this is the the last in the Ratchet and clank trilogy destruction consisting of Tools of destruction,Quest of booty and Crack in time.they all follow one another. They may start a new Rand C series.

[DynamiteXXXXXX]

OMG space looks so huge

[darkspyromaster]

doctor NEFARIUS, sound familair[n trophy from crash bandicoot's real name is nefarius].

[KRGDesigns]

super mario galaxy inspired platforming?

The ratchet and clank series have been using levels like that since 2003

[TheJameSka]

@KRGDesigns

I know, he needs to do some research.

[ABL36]

@KRGDesigns if anything its the other way around. Ratchet and clank inspired it

[Kim9217684]

@KRGDesigns i know i hate the fact that everyone, ign, screwattack, gamespot, and more think that ratchet and clank copied super mario galaxy when actually they copied ratchet and clank

[jz1233]

@KRGDesigns ya i cant fucking stand that when they say that

[116randomness]

@KRGDesigns finally someone who know there gaming

[Evster96]

I am trying to decide which is the best and second best game to get between Split/Second, Uncharted 2, Spiderman-Web of shadows, or Ratchet&Clank CIT. Please reply soon! your advice is highly appreciated :)

[soymilk135799]

ratchet and clank cit has the most epic storyline evaaaaaaaar---my opinion

your choice though

[VerySilverOwns]

This is easily the worst Ratchet and Clank game in the series...shame considering its the last of the series.

[CKFMproductions]

@VerySilverOwns how can u say that? ifve played every ratchet and clank and this one is the best only what it misses is multiplayer and more arena challanges

[PatcHKonG]

man id love to throw time bombs!

[MatriXtyle]

Lol there's a flash game in which you record movements too.

[decemberdazzle]

2:07 ratchet has black eyebrows all of a sudden...?

[TheBlacksol]

@decemberdazzle in 1 of the other countrys version he has black eyebrows, i think its the japaneess 1, i read it in game informer

[Nisshoku1729]

"Super Mario Galaxy Inspired Platforming"

I'm sorry, Ratchet and Clank beat Super Mario Galaxy to the mini-planet idea with Going Commando. If anything Super Mario Galaxy was inspired by Ratchet and Clank.

[decemberdazzle]

@Nisshoku1729 I completely agree!

[TheBlacksol]

@Nisshoku1729 yeah, not only that, if ya look in the museum, they have small ones in it that couldnt be put in the actual game

[gmblr321]

i would really love to play this whole series through i got through Size matters but i dont have a PS3 because sony is gay and over priced it

[Daibron]

@gmblr321 same price as xbox almost :P and anyways, to play the whole series u need a ps2 cause thats where pretty much most of the games are

[alfiexz]

you need to play ratchet and clank 3

[bloodysquirel]

Never really liked the game always enjoyed jak and dexter more.

[Dannhialation]

The villain from the first game was drek

[noahjonathan]

this game is 10/10 it is one of the best games on the ps3 and is fun ass hell with a lot of replay value love this game so give it its nmuch needed score!

[NachtCrus]

i found this game much too easy. there was never actually a time where i could not afford more than one of the new weapons, in addition, none of the boss fights besides the final one even brushed on difficult. really, the last game that was actually challenging was ratchet and clank: going commando, about 4 games ago or so. It was a good game, but it was made to short by how easy it was

[matthewleavitt6]

i remember old game first time play PS2 on R&C 1 in i am in LA in old house i am happy new get RR&C 1 start play next year i lost game then future now year get new R&C 5 cool on ps2

[beerbeerman101]

luv mr zurkon in both tod an a cit

[ikilledyou8x]

all my child hood games are sucking now ones like pac man 3 jak and daxter TLF

and crash mind over mutant and many more allsuck and were sold to people who dont give a crap but (besidse size matters) ratchet and clank have never had a bad game

[ClearAirTurbulence]

The little round planets are not inspired by Super Mario Galaxy. They were in the second Ratchet and Clank game in 2003.

[Wargreymon2304]

i got sad since they never showed Al alot anymore T_T

[Daibron]

@Wargreymon2304 since he became a cyborg, al's been afraid of what the player will think of him D:

[Entropy56]

What is with the thick black eyebrows of Rachet at the end?

[imbadatnames390]

lol I remember nefarious from r&c3

[abcand123ftw]

@imbadatnames390 and 1 i think?

[imbadatnames390]

@abcand123ftw

no the first one was the guy who wanted to make a planet out of other peoples planets,dont remember his name though

[MrPS3Infinity]

@EdgarRodrigue no its ps3 exclusive buy a ps3 if you want to play it

[soranamineforever]

This game deserves a 9.7/10. It. Is. Solid.

[me0eli]

@EdgarRodrigue no the maker of the series is sony so it would kinda be dumb to make a game for their competers system(its only for ps3)

[TheChipmunk466]

@EdgarRodrigue

No

All the Ratchet and Clank game Series are Playstation Exclusives.

[InfernoJak]

Don't compare this to modern warfare 2 at all. that game sucks

[soranamineforever]

@InfernoJak

Amen. This game is epicness burned on a disc. In fact, all Ratchet and Clanks are. Except Size Matters. That was epicness burned on a UMD.

[EpicnessInABox]

The recording thing was also in this xbox 1 game where you played a cat in co-op... I don't remember the name.

[INDIANAgaby]

@EpicnessInABox it's also in a free pc game called Prometheus.
