SuperSaiyan3985 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I just thought I'd make this post to commemorate this wonderful game. I must say though, I'm really surprised at how little people have posted in this forum. But yes, R&C ACT! This game was one of my firsts on the PS3. I had just moved over from the PS2 and everything from the graphics to the gameplay, story and characters, it all blew me away. I was amazed at just how Insomniac pulled off such a feat in 2009! That is early as hell! Going back for the Platinum just last year was a joy, for even though this game was seven years old it still felt like a current gen game. The same goes for TOD but there's no forum open for that. What're your thoughts on ACT? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madbuk Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I liked ACT a lot, but I wouldn't say it's my favourite R&C or even close, really. It felt rather short and imo had too much action and not enough platforming/puzzles, whereas some other games in the series get the balance right. That said, the Clank sections in this game were amazing and probably my favourite of the series... except possibly Secret Agent Clank, because that was great too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the Clank puzzles did get aggravating at times, but you say this game is short? It's the exact opposite for me, I found the game to be the biggest in the series.

It has been a while since I played and I don't really remember much of it, I just remember the credits rolling and being disappointed it was over already. Maybe it is one of the longest but the other ones felt longer even if they weren't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're referring to the story alone that too seemed extensive to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azaan60 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 It's up there with Ratchet and Clank 3 as the best in the series for sure. Some of the greatest games of all time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saionji Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 This was my favourite R&C game as well along with R&C3 Up Your Arsenal. I still havent played In to the Nexus but this was best Ratchet on ps3 for me so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved the PS4 reboot but I was a bit sad to not have an Arena to level up my guns in. I'd love to see the Future series ported to PS4, and have trophies for Tools of Destruction and Quest for Booty. The puzzles in A Crack in Time were my favorites in the whole series. I thought the time element was really cleverly done, and I always felt like a minor genius when I solved a puzzle. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True. Well it would be if it ever happened. A Crack in Time was also my favourite PS3 Ratchet, though I still haven't finished Tools of Destruction yet. Still though I feel ACiT comes out on top. As for PS2 it's a toss up between 2 and 3. My memories of those two always blurs into one so I can't remember which I prefer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah ACT is definitely better than TOD, and yeah it's hard choosing between R&C 2 & 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemiak Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 ToD was my first ps3 game and both it and ACiT were great. From the entire series though 2 is by far my favorite. I feel like the arena hit the sweet spot in 3, but I can't stand the platoon levels. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acookieman Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 It's really boring me so far, I don't know if it picks up later on from where I've gotten, I'm at the Valkyrie fight, but the game hasn't been very fun or interesting so far.

Whitedragonnw Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 (edited) I honestly didn't like this game very much. Story was amazing, just gameplay wasn't. My initial impressions were I really was enjoying the game, and the space missions were awesome! But then I realized there was little to no platforming, only one set "path", and most of the collectibles have been moved to the space missions. This basically led to "kill a bunch of enemies" "fun, epic, insane boss fight!" "epic cinematic cutscene!". Meh. And going back and getting the collectibles sucked on the planets, because most times there was no teleporting pad or easy way to get back to your ship, most times I had to completely back track the entire planet. Ugh! This doesn't make it a bad game however, just bad in terms of the other Ratchet games. It seems like they tried to shake up a few of the mechanics and it didn't work out that well imo. I really enjoyed the game, just not as a Ratchet and Clank title. Edited September 2, 2020 by Whitedragonnw 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LunchCannon54 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 It was certainly the best of the post-PS2 games as it was the last one to actually run at 60fps. The constant story interruptions did my head in on a replay though. Ratchet and Clank was always good about compatmentalising their story and gameplay but the PS3 games were when they started getting all wannabe Pixar with grandiose stories. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoff_jager Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I have played many R&C titles through the years, all very enjoyable for me, looking forward to playing Nexus, this one I didn't get around to playing at the time of release, also more time with QForce ???

That’s my issue with the Ratchet and Clank reboot. They dumbed down the platforming and made enemies in general much easier. Part of it was basically cinematics, with Dr Nefarious and Chairman Drek both getting overhauls. The original Ratchet and Clank, as old and dated as it is now, holds a special place for me. Minimal presentation, minimal story, minimal cutscenes, just the gameplay and that was it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
