Gift Tip 86: Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time

Dec 8 2009, 6:00pm CST | by Luigi Lugmayr

Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time is a platform-shooter video game developed by Insomniac Games and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the Sony PS3. It is the sequel to Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction and Ratchet & Clank Future: Quest for Booty, and is the conclusion of the Future trilogy. Enjoy a brand-new Ratchet and Clank adventure with all-new weapons, secrets, adventures, and enemies.

Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time features an original new adventure and story that answers many of fans’ most-asked questions and wraps up the story arc that started in Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction and Ratchet & Clank Future: Quest For Booty.
Nonlinear levels offer plenty of hidden areas to explore, and new gadgets like the Hoverboots let Ratchet soar to new heights. All-new Clank gameplay includes special "Time" abilities that bring new meaning to “past selves.” The series’ renowned arsenal gets even larger with brand new weapons, as well as weapons that players can customize with various modifications.
New space gameplay gives players the opportunity to engage in space battles, explore the surrounding star system, and discover hidden items and collectibles.

The Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack In Time is a great conclusion to the series, but the beautiful part about it is that you can play it without having played any of the other games before it. It has a superb combat system and very exciting graphics. The voice crew, plot, and dialogue are all, as usual, top notch. But the game is very short. Clank's time puzzles with multiple selves are interesting little brainteasers. Other mini games for him are dull. Ratchet is in full force again.

Great Gift For
Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time is a great game, fun to play, and is great for both kids and adults.

Price and Where to Buy
The Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack In Time is selling for $49.99 on Amazon.com.
