![]() There is no challenge mode either, which typically increases the amount of bolts you get by including an increasing multiplier and stronger enemies. ![]() In addition, this is a short game with a playtime of 3-4 hours, and there aren’t any collectibles to speak of. There aren’t a lot of weapons to choose from either with only two or three weapons actually being effective. For the electric whip that was available, I’d have to use the entire ammo of the weapon to take out just one enemy. Most of Ratchet’s arsenal as well is underpowered. ( Ratchet & Clank: Quest For Booty, Sony Interactive Entertainment) Many, many deaths of our poor lombax were caused by this. For example, at multiple times, I tried to jump down to one ledge, but it wouldn’t recognize that I was trying to go down rather than jump off. ![]() ![]() When you try to use it, you need to see a symbol appear above the object that you’re moving, and when you press R2 and square, it takes too long to recognize the input. The implementation of the kinetic tether, however, is not great. Platforms and catapults can be pulled back with the kinetic tether, and the gameplay can get interesting as you move the platforms across a plain in order to jump from one place to another. As you awkwardly press R2 and square, Ratchet can create a whip that can tether magnetic objects. It’s odd, and because of this, it wasn’t an engaging story.Īnother major part of the game is the kinetic tether. Apogee and Rusty Pete have more lines than him. It’s as if the voice actor was out of town and they had to write the story around this. Despite the name of the game, Ratchet barely talks in this game. There are a few chuckles here and there, but it isn’t laugh out loud funny. Unlike most of the games, the writing is forgettable and you can’t remember it as the scene ends. The best thing about this game is Rusty Pete and Captain Slag. Rather than the funny banter between Ratchet & Clank, this game is mainly told through directives by the most bland female protagonist, Talwyn Apogee, and a monologue by the comedy relief, Rusty Pete. Ratchet & Clank: Quest for Booty is the connection between Tools of Destruction and A Crack in Time as Ratchet tries to find a way to figure out where his best friend Clank is after he was taken away by unknown beings. It is only set in one world with little story to be be had, the level design can be frustrating, and the lack of weapons (and anything new) make this short 3-hour entry worth skipping in the series. Ratchet & Clank: Quest for Booty is typically regarded as one of the worst in the Ratchet & Clank series, and it’s clear why after playing it over the Holiday season. ![]()
