Ratchet & Clank - Up Your Arsenal: "Deja Q" http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4147/5131039142_afdcffd88a.jpg (http://www.flickr.com/photos/55176054@N05/5131039142/) [/url] (http://www.flickr.com/photos/55176054@N05/5131039142/) CREATED BY: Midnight_Heist REVIEW BY: John82WA The ever so popular Ratchet & Clank series has been a monumental success in regards to the support of Sony's PlayStation console lineup. Midnight_Heist has brought the same charm and action over to our very own Little Big Planet universe. As described in the description, you start off as not Ratchet, but Captain Qwark to put an end to the evil Dr. Nefarious. This process entails traveling through the city Metropiolis and fighting off its inhabitants along the way until your final stand off against Dr. Nefarious. The environment that has been set and placed gives more than enough justice to the Vid Comic series. http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1215/5131039218_33e8e9a4ae.jpg (http://www.flickr.com/photos/55176054@N05/5131039218/) (http://www.flickr.com/photos/55176054@N05/5131039218/) The graphical presentation is nearly flawless in the reproduction of this world. The very boxes that Qwark leaps to and fro are in every way an identical match. Midnight_Heist's attention to detail didn't stop there but continued to the background as well. Colors are vibrant and objects are clear as can be. There is no mistaking what you are doing or where you are heading in this side scroller. Perhaps the biggest visual treat is the Paintinator upgrade. Sadly you are unable to see it visually in your sack persons hand, but you can't help but feel you have an upgrade. http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1405/5130437419_e1a24d39d3.jpg (http://www.flickr.com/photos/55176054@N05/5130437419/) (http://www.flickr.com/photos/55176054@N05/5130437419/) Gameplay is well balanced and challenging. Jumping from box to box is in perfect stride with our little sackpeoples abilities. The fight / battle sequences were done exceptionally well. With any platformer/side scrolling game, you must learn patterns and this was what helped this level achieve the perfect balance in difficulty. While this Ratchet & Clank was limited to just one layer in gameplay, it gave the appropriate feel to the game its replicating. Many might find it as a downfall, but again, it works to this games advantage and clearly achieves the goal Midnight_Hiest set out to do. Sound has always been a downfall in LBP when your attempting to recreate anything outside of Media Molecules levels. Because of this, the game suffers from a wholesome experience you would find from the original game. It doesn't help that the Vid Comic 'Deja Q' has one of the best and memorable sound tracks of the Ratchet and Clank series. It also falls slightly short of environmental sounds but luckily enough, the charm pulls you through with out much thought. http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1158/5130437401_95158b4446.jpg (http://www.flickr.com/photos/55176054@N05/5130437401/) [url=http://www.flickr.com/people/55176054@N05/] (http://www.flickr.com/photos/55176054@N05/5130437401/) Re-playability is also a very difficult thing to accomplish in LBP worlds. Perhaps the best achievement in all of this, is the simple reason that you actually want to go back and play it just one more time. This is a monumental feat in my opinion. How many levels can you say that you want to go back and play? Not many. Midnight_Hiest has done a fantastic job in capturing the look, the feel, the entertainment and the 'I want to play it one more time' feeling that the true gamer wants to feel. Ratchet & Clank - Up Your Arsenal: "Deja Q" You have my :star::star::star::star::star: and a very large <3 Happy Gaming ~JOHN82WA
