Well if there was any doubt that the PS3 would be able to hit a homerun and kick start the console those fears can be laid to rest as Insomniac delivers one of the finest games to grace any console.

Ratchet and Clank Future: TOD will go down as one of those games that changed the landscape for platform games. Why? Well for one if you have ever had the dream of wanting to actually play a Pixar movie this is as close as you're going to get. The graphics are nothing short of amazing and truly shows off the real potential of what the PS3 is capable of producing. If you have an HDTV set that can handle 720p or higher you are in for a real treat as your TV is going to be bursting with smooth frame rates, tons of characters on screen and loads of beautiful colors. It's just total eye candy at every single turn. You will be blown away.

The game play is smooth as butter too. Smashing enemies and blowing things up is a real joy in this game and the action never lets up, not for a bit. The game has a pace to keep even the most hardcore gamer on their toes moving faster then a Lombax with his tail on fire it just keeps the adrenaline junky satisfied. You will not get bored playing this game.

Humor wise this is one of those rare games will you be laughing out loud to. This is like I stated above playing a Pixar movie. Not only for the graphics but the actual content of voice acting and story line. It's just fun all the way around.

One thing I wanted to point out that had me smiling from ear to ear was the sound. WOW! If you have a 7.1 system you will be blown away by the uncompressed 7.1 PCM that this game delivers. This is what your home theater system was bought for and it really shines in this game. Totally immersing and very impressive down to the last bolt pinging across the room in glorious 7.1!

In closing this is without a doubt a must have game. This is the type of game that can and will sell systems. PS3 owners can breathe a sigh of relief that all the promise of the great next gen games that were coming for the PS3 have finally started to arrive and Ratchet and Clank is a benchmark of excellence that will be leading the way into the holiday season.

Enjoy!

Finally a single player game that is a MUST OWN!!!

A game even my wife will play? We had a blast it's colorful the landscapes are amazing. Sometimes I died because I was too busy looking at the backgrounds. The PS3 finally has a chance to show its power. All in all it is a easy game to get into and is eaasy to play and understand. Great for all ages and like I said my wife actually played it!

It's about time

Let's face it - you love the PS3 and everything about it, except the games that are out. You were wondering - when is that game going to come out that is going to make it truly irresistible to own the PS3 for those who are hesitant buying it just for the blu-ray movie value. This is that game! Our family has always been fans of the R&C series and own all the games except the PSP "Size Matters" game.

The graphics and sound are truly stunning in this game. I agree with the other reviewer who died looking at the backgrounds - you will keep falling off the map watching the graphics in the game. With this R&C you believe you are playing in a Pixar movie.

This is the game we have been waiting for - one that is truly playable and looks and sounds amazing. It's time to buy that PS3 if you don't own one already.

Laughter is the best medicine. Ratchet will be your family doctor

This game probably has the highest production value and polish, comparing to any thing out in the market. A very clear example of how a game can be as fun as a Disney ride. Every chapter is different.. amazing environments, superb narration. Most importantly it is a very family friendly game. No non-sense vulgarity/violence. Every one in the family can sit and play together. So may times it will force you to put the controller down to laugh or you get mesmerized starring at the TV.

There are questions if this is a PS3 seller. I dont know the answer. But sure this is a HDTV seller. It will force you to sell your house to pay for 100000000" TV.

Probably this is the year for the return of good old school games. With Super Mario Galaxy coming in the next few days.

Pixar graphics!!!

This is arguably best platformer I have ever played. This game really captures the feel of a pixar movie and throws in great gameplay. If you have a PS3, you owe it to yourself to buy this game. If you do not have a PS3, well you're just crazy ;) this machine is pure class.

This is the best looking game 'til date on any platform. I literately just stop playing and admire the beautiful environment.

Pros
+ Best graphics this generation so far. This is Pixar quality people!
+ Gameplay is very well done.
+ Very fun to play
+ Crazy weapons that will have you trying different things out for days. Groovitron will rock you!
+ Good Lasting Appeal. Like all Rachet and Clank games this one will give you alot of mini games and reruns to keep you busy.
+ 12-15 hrs of regular game without counting the extras.

Cons:
- If your played the previous games, it may not seem as original...
Yeah I really have to reach to come out with a negative, sorry there just isnt much wrong with this game.

Don't believe me? How about the critics?

100/100 - GamePro
An amazing PS3 game that fully leverages the power of the console. It sets the bar high for not only the series but for all PS3 games to come. It is, without a doubt, reason enough to buy the system.

100/100 - GameTap
It's rare that a game critic feels the way I do about this game, but in all honesty, I find it really difficult to find something that's not to like. The controls feel great. The graphics look great. The score sounds great. The weapon selection alone make me want to play the game over and over again, just to test out all the cool offered.

95/100 - PSM Magazine
Combines absolutely jaw-dropping graphics with familiar platforming/shooting mechanics and genuinely funny humor to make one of the PS3's few true masterpieces.

94/100 - IGN
Not only has it supplanted Going Commando as the best title in the franchise, it's also the best game of any series on the PlayStation 3 thus far -- and that's saying a lot when you're up against Oblivion, Ninja Gaiden, Warhawk and Insomniac's very own previous effort, Resistance: Fall of Man.

New York Times - "This is like playing a Pixar movie"

Great Game for Kids and Adults!!!

This is a great game for kids and adults. Children will love to play (or even watch, it looks like a pixar movie) and adults will find fun in all the variety of play! I never played the R&C games on the PS2, but I LOVE it on the PS3! A definate must have!

In One Word: WOW

I have always been a little slow on getting into platformers. Usually my intrest wains after a few hours. As beautiful as this game is I was thinking I would fall into the same trap. So I decided to give it an hour. I couldn't put the controller down. The problem became so bad that I couldn't get up. Yes it is that addictive.

What makes this game a masterpiece is not just the beautiful graphics or the exciting storyline. The fun characters keep it going but what really impresses me is the diversity of each level. I have played this game for over six hours and each level looks completly different from the next. From being in the asteroid belt to going to a destroyed city and then travelling thru a prehistoric land.

Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction should be on everyones buy list. This is what gaming is all about. For children or adults this game doesn't discriminate. Never overlly difficult and not to simple. This game does it well on all levels.

Finally, it is here!

I waited impatiently for LAIR, and wasn't as pleased as I thought I'd be. I'm a HUGE Ratched & Clank fan, and I've been waiting for Future: Tools of Destruction for nearly as long.

I was NOT disappointed! In fact, it's taking a few extra towels to clean up the drool!!

This game is incredible fun, and incredibly beautiful! It sounds wonderful, and has great depth in the environments. This is definately the current crown jewel for the PS3, and is a MUST BUY for anyone w/ a PS3.

Insomniac has YET to let the Playstation community down, and this just proves they keep getting better.

BUY THIS GAME!!!

just awsome

If you like things that are awesome... You will not be disappointed in this game. Super-amazing graphics, controls, audio, and an auto-tuned difficulty setting that adjusts to you! Awesome. Also, you may be thinking "ah, that game is just for little kids"... Well anyone who's ever played it will tell you different! It's humor and storyline will entertain the likes of all, from hardcore gamers to grown-up couples and maybe even a granny or two. If you have a PS3 this is a must-buy. If you don't, then you're not looking toward the future of gaming...
