Why do I always seem to be 5 out? Anyway this our 205th review
What, no banner? Oh...
Those of you who have followed me since my first review know that I
love Ratchet and Clank, I love their colourful environments, inventive
weaponry, creative storytelling and the overall fun you get out of playing
them.
But like with every good franchise, there’s a black sheep in the
family and that comes in the form of a title called Secret Agent Clank.
So, what’s history behind this infamous title? Sony, the owner of the
rights to Ratchet and Clank wanted a Ratchet title for their fledgling console,
the PSVita, however Insomniac Games, the usual Ratchet and Clank developers
were busy working on the Ratchet and Resistance titles for the PS3. So the job
was given to a company called High Impact Games. The company was made up of
former employees of Insomniac Games so it would seem like the
ideal company to make such a game, and they did with Ratchet and Clank: Size
Matters. It was a fun game in single player and also had a decent multiplayer
mode but they had a second Ratchet and Clank title in the works.
Secret Agent Clank was released in 2008 to a decent, if slightly more
mixed reaction. So why do I hate it?
Let’s take a closer look.
