I bought Ratchet and Clank

I was recommended this game from somebody @ work, and I thought "what the hell".

It's not bad. I am up to level 5 or 6. Overall as a platformer, I think it's quite good.

How do I think it compares to Mario Sunshine you ask?

Currently and honestly I don't think it does compare. IMO it doesn't nearly feel as good as playing Mario Sunshine. Not because I am a Nintendo fan, but with Mario Sunshine I picked up and wanted to play more and more. Much more exploration and freedom, and it just feels more polished.

With R&C I don't feel like continuing through the levels. I find the levels a bit dull. The weapons are great so far though, and I like the type of humour it gives off, but still I find the game a bit boring overall.

The controls I find frustrating. In between saving, and changing weapons, I'm always stuffing up and I find it real irrotating.

Overall (from what I've played) I don't think this game should be compared to MS because after playing MS, this game don't play so good (IMO). I will play this game more and see how I go however

First of all, glad you bought this game. It's fantastic. After the first few levels, I thought it was 'good', but once I got into the mid-latter levels I was amazed.

Personally, I think this game is quite a bit better than SMS.

Perfect Stu, I'm curious, do you own a Gamecube?

nope, but I have played SMS. probably not enough of it to make a fair comparison between it and R&C though...

I think he meant to say that from what he has played of SMS, he feels that RandC is the superior game... Although it truly is not a fair comparison because he has not put equal playing hours into both games.

I haven't beaten either of them, but from what I've played, I as well like Ratchet and Clank but I don't think it's as good as Mario in any way.

Maybe I should just edit my posts

Ratchet and Clank will probably be a greatest hits title before year's end

Joeiss · 05-21-2003, 03:40 PM

Isnt' it called 'Platinum' in America too?

Xbox games are "platinium"
PS2 are "greatest hits"
Nintendo is "million seller" (or it was I don't know if that's what it's called anymore, I kind of doubt all of the titles in the nintendo budget line have sold a million.)
