Ratchet & Clank Into the Nexus
SCORE: 50
There are fanboys of Ratchet & Clank out
there. I am not one of them. I do not get how anyone can call a hack and
slash with a monkey wrench game family friendly. I do not get how anyone
can call a shooter family friendly. We can shoot the enemies with guns.
We can whack away at them with a giant monkey wrench. We can get into
turrets and vehicles and blow them away. Ratchet & Clank Into the Nexus
is a highly violent game that should have been given a thirteen and
older only rating.
The story starts us out transporting a prisoner to the prison. We are in
a space ship. This is a great way to teach players how to play the game.
The whole gravity surfaces, and gravity boots is an interesting game
play mechanic that eventually falls flat. Anyways she escapes and we are
in pursuit. Along the way we collect different guns.
The installation process in Ratchet & Clank Into the Nexus was insanely
long. Whatever happened to plug and play? Can’t we just pop in a game
and play it anymore? Why do we need to install, and update everything?
Are games being released that faulty and flawed? When you wake up from
the installation hibernation then you can start to play Ratchet & Clank
Into the Nexus on the Playstation 3.
Ratchet & Clank Into the Nexus contains spiritual content in the form of
a ghost gun. This will summon the dead to come and fight for you. That
gun made me very uncomfortable in my spirit. I wish Insomniac Games had
found something more family friendly to include in Ratchet & Clank Into
the Nexus.
The violence in Ratchet & Clank Into the Nexus gets boring really fast.
Murdering thousands of the same looking guys gets so old. Especially
when they keep coming a few at a time. It takes away from the realism. I
also ran into visual glitches while playing Ratchet & Clank Into the
Nexus. The immersive story is the one shining light in this game.
