With the release of this title, the Ratchet & Clank franchise has established itself as THE modern platformer. Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time provides the player with a perfect mix of platforming, 3rd-person shooter, and even RPG elements. Ratchet & Clank, who are apart for much of the game, battle through several beautiful planets across several sectors of a galaxy. With the ability to go through challenge mode and bonus items scattered throughout the galaxy, this game gives players lots of replay value even after winning the final boss battle. To add to the awesomeness are graphics and sound effects comparable to those of a movie. To those who have played previous Ratchet & Clank titles, the formula is the same here in A Crack in Time, but why would Insomniac want to alter a winning formula? It's like telling the Philadelphia Phillies to stop hitting so well because it's getting old. Simply put, Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time is a masterpiece. Anyone new to the series should check out this game, and all of the duo's long time fans will absolutely adore this latest addition.
