Blast writes: "Ratchet & Clank is a quality series of run-and-gun platforming, but with so many releases in the past few years (and so many overall–this was a series that had loads of output on the Playstation 2 as well) a change to the formula was necessary to keep things fresh. Insomniac did just that with A Crack in Time, giving Clank his own level set and abilities while keeping Ratchet plenty busy with a variety of tasks on his way to find his lost robotic companion. The end result, while not a game of the year type holiday effort, is still noteworthy–you could say this is the definitive Ratchet & Clank experience, which is quite the accomplishment on its own." 8.8/10
