An utterly useless game. There were neither new weapons nor new gadgets. The checkpoints were awful, with some really annoying, unenjoyable segments. 95 percent of the game is a re-use of R&C TOD mechanics. The uninteresting pirate plot made me want to sleep. At the end, this really short game could have just been a small introduction in "A Crack in Time" without all the unnecessary pirate stuff.
