‘A Crack in Time’ could be branded as mainly a third-person platformer, though there’s enough gun-wielding and puzzle-solving to satisfy a variety of tastes. We are happy to reveal pretty much everything else though, starting with the gameplay mechanics.
We can’t reveal much more of the story without adding a massive SPOILER ALERT at the top of this review, but the prospect of time travel, quirky alien races, hysterically maniacal villains, disco dancing monsters, cross-dressing nurses, and a surprising ending should be more than enough to reason to find out for oneself. Not only does this clip bring players up to speed, its humour and styling immediately set the tone for the rest of the adventure, and best of all this all happens while the game is installing. Fortunately everyone’s favourite anti-hero from the series, Captain Quark, is here to rescue uninformed gamers by catching up on the back story in a short cinematic prior to playing. The story of ‘A Crack in Time’ picks up right where ‘Quest for Booty’ left off, finding the hero Ratchet separated from his sidekick Clank and the fate of the known universe somewhat uncertain. The second is where a trilogy does well for itself, but greedy developers/directors/artists not content with hitting the jackpot thrice decide to push the story beyond the limits of brevity and common sense simply to line their equally expanding pockets we’ll call this the ‘Star Wars Episode 1, 2 & 3’ category.įinally, sandwiching the tasty filler of ‘Quest for Booty’ between itself and the hearty ‘Tools of Destruction’, ‘A Crack in Time’ completes a trilogy that features the best bits of both of the aforementioned types we call this the ‘Ratchet and Clank Future’ category, and we’re pleased to say that it’s a winning formula which not only wraps up an outstanding series, but leaves the Ratchet and Clank saga with a world of possibilities as to where to go next. The first is the where each episode is meticulously planned, the story carefully thought out, and a strict resistance against further milking the resolved franchise enforced we’ll call this the ‘Sands of Time’ category.
