Ahhh, my childhood R&C game. I remember having a blast with this game, playing it with my brother. I had just finishes A Crack in Time and wondered how good the next R&C will be. It was horrible, everything that made R&C good was sucked out of this game.
Gameplay: The gameplay felt shallow, with around 2 new weapons only this time (the others being from the past games). You now upgrade guns with bolts rather than using the weapon which was not favorable. I was interested in trying out other characters than Ratchet to play with but I couldn't due to the restricting levelling system forcing you to play as one character throughout the whole game. Puzzles were non-existent. There was not even the interplanetary discovery system, like come on?! The joy of a R&C game is to explore new planets and you are telling us we can't even do that? Additionally, the whole game itself was awfully optimized. The random difficulty spikes were such a pain; the game would storm you with enemies and they would give you no ammo.
Story and plot: The whole game was a drag. The story was bland and always had some boring event that made it unnecessary longer. The new characters introduced are boring and forgettable. Moving to the main plot, it was dumb. Nefarious teaming up with his enemies is a dumb and breaks everything he stands for as an evil, goofy villain with his hatred towards Quark, Ratchet and Clank. The only good thing was Quark becoming president which was hilarious.
Co-op: The only saving grace of this game and the reason I am not giving it a 0.5 is the co-op feature. This game heavily relies on players having someone to play it with them. If you do get someone to play with you, then this game would be really fun. Unfortunately, for many, this was not an option, making us stick to the horrible NPC which would randomly commit suicide. This game could really be a blast with a partner with you.
All 4 One was a major disappointment, seeing it would be the sequel to A Crack in Time. Hopefully Full Frontal Assault will be better.
