Ratchet Goes Commando, Outdoes Jak?

Posted by simoniker on Tuesday November 11, 2003 @08:02PM from the jumpup-showdown dept.

Thanks to 1UP for its review of Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando for PlayStation 2, as the reviewer argues: "The original Ratchet & Clank was, for my money, the best platform game of this hardware generation when it came out", and goes on to rate the Insomniac-developed sequel just as highly. IGN PS2 is also impressed, and discusses the showdown with Ratchet's technology-sharing PS2 rival, Naughty Dog's Jak II, commenting: "If I had to pick just one platformer this year - and that's a tough call, considering the incredible game that Jak II is - it would be this one." Finally, GameSpot rates the title as "a great game", although caution that "...at times it feels like more of a mission pack than an entirely new game."

If I had to pick just one platformer this year

Fool. Why do you keep buying 3rd-person action adventure *platformers*. They've become the equivalent of the big-budget "explosion movie" stereotype that's killing the movie industry. Absolutely zero innovation in these titles. Run around, shoot stuff, collect stuff. Am I wrong? Woo. Sounds absolutely thrilling.

The worst part is that when all the platform-loving idiots have killed the industry and reduced it to nothing *but* platformers in 15 years, you're going to be the same person complaining about lack of diversity - only because it took you so damn long to get bored with the format.
