Game Revolution Reviews Ratchet & Clank: FTOD

This time around, Rachet and Clank are up against an evil tyrant named Tachyon. Tachyon is hellbent on killing Ratchet because he is the last of his race of furry Lombax inventors. The duo go on a quest to discover Ratchet's ethnic origins, and, of course, discover that the fate of the universe, and possibly more, is at stake.

Grade: B

Why should no multiplayer hurt the game? Does every game now have to include multiplayer or the score is lower? I could care less about online or even offline multiplayer.

[wangdiddy82]

do reviewers keep knocking off points for no multi player? This game doesnt need it, its freaking awesome without it..

[Violater]

lets see if they will deduct points from Mario Galaxy for not having MP.

[AllanWakker]

It's a PS3 game.

[Bubble Buddy]

i know some games don't need multi player, ive played UPA and deadlocked online and i didn't really enjoy it. and yeah violator ure right. lets see if they take off points for Mario Galaxy

[chrisin3]

The developers have stated that there would be no multi-player since the beginning of development, but the reveiwers speak of the feature as if it were mysteriously missing.

Since other ratchet games have had multi-player, I sort of understand what they are saying; however, it should not be a negative. Games should not be reveiwed for things that were never in the playbook. Multi-player was never in the formula for Rachet's new adventure, just like bioshock and others. And besides, how many platformers actually have multi-player anyway? Ratchet was one of the few that ever did.

Anyway, play the game, and forget about multi-player. After the first level, you won't even care.

[JokesOnYou]

just because they intentionally did not include multiplayer does NOT mean the reviewer should NOT rate the game a bit lower for it. If it was something that was important to HIM in the prior games and now its missing, then he can be *rightfully be dissapointed,= it still doesn't make it a bad game but it does matter to alot of people.

Yes alot of games like Bioshock didn't have multiplayer/Co-op so hopefully when that is the case the single player game has to be strong enough to still rate a high score in the OPINION of the reviewer= different games get different scores from different people theres NO right or Wrong score, only some scores that are different from the NORM/majority, even I do think the game is better than 7.5, but that still doesn't make the world bias because of 1 game getting a few lower than "expected" scores from a few websites, if so 360 fans could cry about Halo3's few low scores, oh well, like you said "play the game"=

JOY

I read one review where the guy said hopefully Insomniac will have a patch that will give us online multiplayer in R&CF. That's too much. I like online games but I don't feel all of them need it. I like single player games too. If all we get is online multiplayer games in the future gaming will suck. They're all too much alike. Maybe the next R&C game will use the current world and let us play online. I just don't care about it in this game. Leave it for the future.

[gunnerforlife]

so whats a B is that like a 9

[wil4hire]

yeah... thats not biased.

[spikormikor13]

80-89 is a B(in Maryland, at least), so an 85 would be a fair score.

[Ju]

"B - A good game, but nothing to write home about." http://www.gamerevolution.c...

Well, I don't know. Nothing to write home about ? Yeah, sure, just saw these pixar style visuals last week...nothing new here ... NOT.

[remix]

went to school to find that out.

[chrisin3]

A B is always (using 100 point scale) between 80 and 89. I learned that in grade school. I am not sure what metacritic was thinking on that one.

Actually the B grading scale goes even further:

B+ is 87-89
B is 84-86
B- is 80-83

75 out of 100 is a C. I think metacritic is on crack.

Hell, let's just put all the cards on the table:

Sample 1
A 94-100
A- 90-93
B+ 87-89
B 84-86
B- 80-83
C+ 77-79
C 74-76
C- 70-73
D 65-69
F 64 and below

Some people further expand on the D and A, but it really depends on the teacher. In grade school, an F is usually looked at as 59 and below.

Anyway, who knows what methodology metacritic uses.

[remix]

A+(97-100)
A(94-96)
A-(90-93)
B+(87-89)
B(83-86)
B-(80-83)
C+(76-79)
C(73-75)
C-(70-72)
D+(66-69)
D(63-65)
D-(60-62)
F(59 AND DOWN)

THESE GUYS NEED TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL. LOL..........SERIOUSLY. BECAUSE IF A B IS A 75, THEN a A IS a 85, so what is a 95. lol

[Qbanj69]

What!? a B?

so that means its not AAA? OH NOEZ!!! (waives hands in air)

lol.

The guy above me is wrong... the scale is F,D+-,C+-,B+-,A,AA,AAA... sigh its so stupid reviewing games with letter grades.

[Padre]

LOL all the PStards.

Get OVER it, Ratchet & Clank Future IS NOT an AAA game. Go and see the metascore of the game, is below 90!!!! Don't commit suicide after you see this, PStards:

http://www.metacritic.com/g...

R&C IS NOT AAA GAME - R&C IS NOT AAA GAME - R&C IS NOT AAA GAME - R&C IS NOT AAA GAME -

Face it fanboys.

[wil4hire]

Its false information..

Perhaps you are no good with math either.

[Barreldragon00]

You are wrong the game has a average rating of 91 they mest up on this review and put 7.5 in stead of 8.5 which would bring the average score to 91.

So maby you should GTFO fantard. and face it its a AAA game.

Edit: Ju
There are three 85 and only one 75. they messed up on the review (actually this one here) and gave it a 75 instead of a 85.

[hulk_bash1987]

HAHAHA how about making a comment that doesnt make you sound like a desperate fanboy.

[Ju]

Hm, lets see again. 19 out of 24 are >= 90 (2 are 100). 2 are 85 and 80 resp., and then we have 2 @ 75. Pretty outside the standard deviation, I'd say. Well, sure, must be a 75 then.

I'd propose, it is also valid to conclude it is a 100% game then. We have 2 100% in there, too. No ?

BTW: I am pretty sure I will have more fun playing my 100% R&C version while you won't play your 75er.

[hulk_bash1987]

LOL, im sick and tired of reviewers knocking off points for something that was never promised from the start. I mean i understand if Insomniac stated that there would be multiplayer included and then cut it, but it was never promised, so y [email protected] hold it against the game? The game was meant 2 be a solid SINGLE-PLAYER game and it succeeds in doing just that.

[chrisin3]

Yeah, I understand what you're saying.

Nonetheless, I got the game, and I enjoy it. I suppose that's all that matters . . . to me at least.

[skitzoid]

a scale on letter grade to number conversions. Theirs is obviously broken.
