Gamers Universe writes: "Creating a sequel dedicated to a sidekick is always a risky move. Many of videogaming's better known supporting acts fall rather flat when left to their own devices: the lecherous Daxter may be a laugh when he has Jak on the scene to temper his excesses, but craft a game around him alone and his wisecracks grow wince-worthy (though Ready at Dawn did a creditable job in most respects). The Arbiter likewise makes for a nice, Native American/Samurai-ish alternative to Master Chief every once in a while, but you wouldn't want his lizardly chops plastered across the box. Luigi's a stand-up kinda guy, but he's no substitute for his fatso elder brother.
So it is with most franchises, and so it is with the unlikely pairing of Ratchet and Clank. On his lonesome Clank will occasionally elicit a chuckle, but the shy and retiring bucket of bolts is at his best when set against Ratchet's headstrong charisma, and as a consequence his turn as frontman doesn't quite make the grade."
Pros:
+A varied and portable-friendly set of challenges
+The usual strong production values
+Smart, parodic script
Cons:
-Feels a bit diluted
-Loose camera
-The engine is getting old
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "3D platformers have long been a favourite genre of mine. Growing up on the likes of Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon on PS1 means I’ve been conditioned to love the colourful, vibrant worlds and the exploration-based gameplay that often goes with the 3D platformer. In recent generations the genre has stalled, with fewer new releases and publishers unwilling to invest in new titles, and even older mascots falling by the wayside.
Yet thanks to its brilliant backwards-compatibility with PS1 and PSP games, the Vita has become something of a home for the neglected genre, with plenty of classic games playable (especially thanks to HD Remasters from the PS2 era) and a few brilliant modern titles thrown into the mix too."
When you think abit it, alot of games have side-kicks. Small parts or with you all the way. These are the top 5 most memorable side-kicks.
While replaying some old games on the psp I googled for High Impact games.Turns out that the team behind Secret Agent Clank is very funny.
