Every Ratchet & Clank Video Game Ranked (R&C Month)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 лип 2024
- Ratchet & Clank Month has begun and the first week sees the release of my ranking of every Ratchet & Clank video game! This is one of the videos I've been meaning to make for years, as ranking the R&C games is a natural habit of mine. Even so, ranking the games is not easy, and the ranking I give in this video could very well change over time, but for now, this is the ranking I've decided on. It'll be interesting to see where I'll rank Rift Apart after it's released, and I'll make a prediction of where I think it will land on my ranking at the end of the video. I hope you enjoy, and tune in next week when I'll review my favorite (Ratchet & Clank) video game!
Here's the playlist for R&C Month: • Why Ratchet & Clank 2:...

Ratchet Deadlocked is criminally underrated, me and my friends played the shit out of that with the multitap on my PS2.
Certainly
My brother and I have literally beat that game (including challenge mode) like 20 times probably and I sold my orginal ps2 to get a ps3. The mods and missions were 🐐🐐
I beat it a few times I never found it that enjoyable it was a good game but not as good imo as the original 3 before it
Deadlocked > Up Your Arsenal imo
In England dead lock is called Ratchet Gladiator and me and my best mate played the life out of that game.... every challenge, every level, every difficulty and want to play it again now I'm older geez it was a mad game
The OG trilogy will always have a place in my heart. First game was so solid and heartfelt yet filled me with wonder, Going Commando has some of the best commentary about consumerism and Up your Arsenal is the funniest RC game, period.
The fact that Sony hasnt made these games readily available on newer consoles is shameful, especially since they did so much to give the PS2 that prestige its library has decades after
Yeah, Sony has really been slacking in that regard...
2 years later, it's on PS4 and 5
That fact that ACIT looks better than Nexus, FFA and A4O and still runs at 60fps rather than 30fps is astounding
Yeah and kinda sad lol.
Nexus runs at 1080p and has better effects imo
@@pikminologueraisin2139 there's so much bloom in nexus that it just ends up being an eye sore
@@pikminologueraisin2139 since writing that reply I replayed nexus twice and ACIT once and yeah Nexus actually does look nicer, but it doesn't excuse the awful framerate compared to ACIT's 60fps
ACiT was the last great RaC. Played so well.
I swear the first ratchet and game had best matching Planet to Soundtrack music. I hope what I said made sense to y’all.
Yes, the original combines the environments and music so well!
The original had the best plot, the best music matching, and the best story. The voice acting was superb, and I prefer the original Ratchet voice. It was also by far the most innovative of the series, as it combined the best elements of various other video games into one comprehensive package that made sense.
Going Commando also had great music, but better space battles, better races, better arena battles, better weapons, and better grind rail challenges. The final boss was weaksauce though. What puts GC over the top for me was the glitches, starting with the FPS glitch. You could scale buildings using the wrench, which opened the door to several other amazing glitches, such as swimming around in the air on some planets.
ua-cam.com/video/lY23PGg66SA/v-deo.html
Yeah I have a life and prefer it being simple, the first one is my favorite
@@arcaedonluminos666 is the music you used in the intro part of the R&C soundtrack? If so what game did you get it from
@@kenyonmanning2574 It's Novalis from the first game
Crack In Time was such a damn good game. Amazing gameplay, levels, exploration, puzzles, story, everything. The Ratchet and Clank reunion near the end was beautiful, Nefarious was great as always, Azimuth was an awesome character, and the story themes carried a message that transcended the game world.
Yep, it's amazing in pretty much every way!
I feel like the only thing i dont agree with in this entire video is that the reunion of RnC was good. (ACIT) im literally just finishing the game for the first time and i just found it to be underwhelming. To me it kinda just happened.
@@appleyuice8404 The scene might've benefitted from more lingering, but I found it nice. Maybe I accept it more because I love the later scenes between them so much.
@@appleyuice8404 Is this your first R&C game??
@@protonjones54 first in a very long time and first time playing ACIT, but not my first RnC
My childhood with Ratchet was weird. I believe the first one I played was actually A Crack In Time and though I knew almost nothing, the gameplay and story was so damn good.
It seems oddly approachable to newcomers despite being a later story entry
I love the older rcs mainly because its so fast paced.
That's a nice quality about them
@@arcaedonluminos666 ikr
I loved the older ones cuz they felt more lived in and had the neat war zones
I guess I’m one of those ol’ timers but I prefer the ps2 trilogy to the rest of the series. I just feel like r&c lost something after they began the future series
That is true, and I def prefer the OT over the FT, but I still find ToD and especially ACIT fantastic games.
I hope rift apart is good and takes notes from the PS2 trilogy
Nothing beats the originality of the first trilogy, especially the first R&C. They virtually invented boss battles among other things.
@@wyattbottorff2473 Invented boss battles, how so?
If you're refering to the comedy aspect, it's not their fault. Times have changed and they'd have to rate their games for mature audiences if they wanted to keep that humour. They obviously wouldn't do that as a lot of kids play. Just how I see it, as that would be the most fitting explanation.
Finally, a channel that says he'll be ranking all games in the franchise and actually ranks all games in the franchise, mobile games and everything included. You've earned my sub
Thanks! It seems not everyone knows about them, but since I do, I couldn't leave them out.
What about the 2016 remake?
@@tedclaxton94 What about it?
@@arcaedonluminos666 😂😂😂
@@rexschneider2171 He mentioned that one. It was number 8.
I think Rift Apart would be on the same level as Crack in Time in terms of game play. Unfortunately the storyline has become so convoluted over the series its almost impossible to beat the Nostalgic feel of the first 3 games which is not necessarily a bad thing either. It should be a really good game.
Yeah, I'll still love it, but the writing will have a big say in where I'll eventually rank it.
@@arcaedonluminos666 I don't know when you plan to re-review them but Rift Apart would definitely go lower for me than the top 4 because of the writing. Everything else was amazing though.
@@benedeknagy4817 I don't think I'll remake this video, but I have mentioned where I rank Rift Apart in my review of it. That ranking still stands, with Rift Apart inbetween Up Your Arsenal and the Original at 4th place.
This video proves that R&C should forever be considered an iconic staple for playstation.
Indeed, R&C are among PS' strongest mascots and has been with us all the way since the PS2 era
Ratchet, Jak & Daxter, Spyro, Crash and Sly Cooper are iconic Ps game series.
@@feiwong3634 Hope J&D and Sly get brought back eventually
R&C 2 is probably my favourite too, nice video man!
Thank ye!
My birthday was actually on November 4, 2002 so having R&C as my second favourite franchise has always been pretty cool
Now that's a special birthday! What's your favorite?
Good video. I came across this in my recommended, and was just gonna fast forward to see what you put where, but I stuck around to hear your reasonings for each one. You make great points, and while this is your list, you understand that this is subjective-not everyone will see eye-to-eye. That second thing is something that a lot of content creators seem to not get.
Thanks, I'm glad to hear you took the time to listen to my reasons! Indeed, views on something will always vary from person to person, it's cool to see how others rank these games.
Tools of destruction is my (sort of) first R&C game that I completed and I was immediately hooked on the series. I played size matters in the psp before ToD, but I was to young to pass the first level. It is very nice to see a fellow R&C fan who also appreciates ToD very much
Yep, Tools of Destruction is amazing! Was hard to put it at 5th.
Arcaedon Luminos Have you checked out VTNVIVI? He makes great content about R&C and other franchises
@@firestorm6836 Yep, I'm subbed to him
Arcaedon Luminos You can maybe contact him and do a collaboration together, that would be really interesting for both you guys and the viewers. What country are you actually from? I am from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
@@firestorm6836 Hm, that's an idea, maybe I'll do that someday, if he's willing. I have talked to him once, through another guy, he actually saw one of my R&C dubs. I'm from Norway!
Tools of destruction and a crack in time are my favorites
Good picks
soulless picks
You're one of only two other people I've seen on the internet or in person that shares my same love of ratchet and clank
Good to hear! Who else?
@@arcaedonluminos666 just a friend. He doesn't even play games anymore because he got too addicted and ratchet and clank was a big reason for that lol. Too much fun
@@johnnytamale8676 Haha, makes sense
Gaming Brit and Wiidude also made great videos on this gamre.
@@tmerchead1 Yeah, they made some great R&C reviews!
Excellent video! loved the ranking, edition and commentary
Thanks, glad you loved it!
Found this channel out of R&C nostalgia, and subbed for this amazing retrospective and review. Continue doing what you're doing and I hope you become big soon!
Thank you, my channel has really been growing recently!
ratchet and clank 2002 was my childhood its so sad those good times are gone ;( best game i have ever played
Those times may be gone, but we can always revisit these excellent games!
Tomasek shut up ur a 9 y o playing roblox everyday its even chanel pfp u little kiddo
@@Broly83e3 maybe his childhood was recent? Jesus you mad that the kid is young?
Great video! I very much agree with your rankings, especially since I also favor Going Commando as my most favorite in series. I subbed you, and is much excited to see more of your work.
Also, Ratchet and Clank has stayed as my childhood ever since I got a PS2, and it's been growing consistently since then. Never get tired of exploring planets and going bananas with the weapon variety.
Thanks a bunch! I see you have good tastes as well. ;)
@@arcaedonluminos666 Sure have :)
Thanks for the time stamps dude, awesome video
You're welcome, thought it would be necessary for such a long video.
Uya and Acit are in tie for not only ny favorite games in the franchise but my favorite games period.
Sweet
I'm on such a deep crack tier nostalgia binge with ratchet rn, even suffering through bad emulator stability to replay the first 3, honestly its like having childhood injected directly into my brainstem
That is what it feels like!
i’m on the same nostalgia right now but it’s mainly because Playstation Premium dropped the trilogy, deadlocked, and ToD
Size matters was actually my first R&C game. So I hope to play the ones ranked higher someday
I hope you'll get to!
Ive only played the first four and Up your arsenal is my personal favorite and was shocked to see it only in 5th but your reasons were pretty valid it did feel sort of repetitvive at times, great ranking overall!
I put it at 4th. Thanks though!
Deadlocked is probably my favorite, followed by UYA and then ACIT.
That being said, the video and the opinions in it were well thought out, so I'll gladly slap the like button.
Much appreciated!
I relate so much to your lineup, really enjoyed the video. Keep it up!
Thank you!
My favorite franchise of all time great video man had to sub
Thank ye!
crack in time and going commando at the top... this guy gets me. great video!
Thanks! You get the best of both worlds. ;)
Deadlocked was the most memorable for me since my friends and I would play the heck out of it together. Great video man
Thanks, Deadlocked co-op is so much fun!
the fact that you chose the Gemlik Base theme for the OG I respect. It's a bop
You know it!
2:17 Ratchet drinking to many soda pops from planet Orxon again, smh.
He should know by now those drinks contain pollution
Wait why am I seeing doubles-
@@georgiabennett8533 Don't mind Argaydon, he's just an imposter.
I wish they remastered the R&C future trilogy
Me too, kid.
I like ur ranking but my number one is tools of destruction, the nostalgia that game gives me is off the charts, love the weapons and gameplay plus the music
Damn I loved this video. I really love many of your takes. I agree with a lot of stuff you said.
Happy to hear!
I really appreciate the effort you put into this video! I’m a huge R&C fan, so I always enjoy seeing people’s opinions on the games. I will say my list would probably be a lot different in some key areas, with Deadlocked and R&C1 being higher and GC being a lot lower, but to each their own! Great video, and you earned a subscriber!
Thank you very much!
The new games lore, let's be honest here it's not the best
Yeah
Can’t argue that but the combat is great. That said up your Arsenal or going commando is the sweet spot for the series... so far 😁
Yeah it just isn’t the same as the old games
It’s crazy how much I agree with this list in every way. Going Commando has always been my favorite. I always felt it had the best level design and was the perfect sequel and really expanded on the gameplay of the original in every way. I love R&C so much.
Well said, Killua!
Awesome video man, thanks!
Thank you for saying that!
I’m a huge sucker for Up Your Arsenal and it’s definitely my favorite, but these top 5 are pretty much universal and I can respect basically any placement order of them because I love them all.
Nice to hear!
Totally Agree, that game is my go to RaC
I played so much Ratchet and Clank when I was young and it inspired me so much even to this day. My first one I played was going commando. And I agree it is the best one!
Good place to start!
great video man, you earned a new subscriber!
Thanks man!
Really love this vid, and glad RaC 2 was your numero uno
Thanks, it just had to be!
i played every r&c game the summer after finishing grad school. i was applying to 10+ jobs a day, my partner was traveling for work, + i was alone with very little money + no friends in town. these games kept me company + got me through that rly tough + lonely summer.
That's awesome!
Did you and your partner stay together?
@@johnmichaeladelman yeah we've been together 6.5 years 💗
My two favorite games in the series are probably Deadlocked and TOD, but I understand your reasoning for having them lower. Deadlocked just captured that pure fun factor in the combat that I love about the series, and it’s easily the most replayable game in the series imo. TOD was the first time I played through a Ratchet and Clank game fully so there’s some nostalgia ngl, but the world, gadgets, and weapon selection are some of my favorite of the series
Deadlocked's combat is unmatched, and ToD's levels in particular are very fleshed out and fun!
Hearing the Going Commando theme brings back so many memories. I remember grabbing the HD collection remake on Ps3, it was so awesome to play through the original trilogy again (as well as the Sly and Jack collection too!)
The R&C and Sly trilogies were great ways to revisit some of my favorite childhood games, and the J&D trilogy was a great way to experience some good games for the first time!
First video I saw from u and it was amazing!
Thanks! Welcome to the club, pal :D
@@arcaedonluminos666 Thank u!
A crack in time was SO fucking fun. It was my first ratchet and clank game, even though I watched a few playthrough of the original and one or two others.
I love the inclusion of clanks father figure, and azimuth as a sympathetic villain. It serves as a cautionary reminder of what Rachet could become if he became obsessed in trying to restore his lost parents and race.
Yeah, the story and characters are so captivating, especially Azimuth!
It was great seeing going commando at its proper place
It had to be done
Going commando is kinda bad in my opinion. Like half of the game is good and the rest is borderline unplayable.
@@tims.1615 Have you played the game while being over the age of 7
@@iaminyourwalls2211 I played it blind last year
@@tims.1615 I'll take that as a no
Amazing video! Well done!!
Thank you!
Going Commando is my favourite too! You deserve a like and a sub
Nice and thanks!
I totally agree with your ranking and everything you said I love the R&C's franchise, A Crack In Time is a masterpiece, Up Your Arsenal is amazing and everything is perfect with Going Gommando !
You're cultured I see!
@@arcaedonluminos666 ^^
I never knew how dirty some of these titles were
Truly eyeopening
I actually had to check it out because I couldn't believe they had a game called quest for booty lol
Great video ,you got a new sub !
I still don't know why people like more all 4 one than ffa (q force) since I found ffa gameplay to be more natural and I didn't quite enjoy as much the all 4 one camera and structure of the levels
Thanks! I prefer A4O since it looks better, sounds better, has more creativity and is better written. I do agree that the fixed camera is annoying though. FFA disappointed me in many ways and feels very inferior compared to the rest of the Insomniac R&C games.
Deadlocked was my fav but was called ratchet gladiator in Australia but I respect your opinion and the fact u love the series so much 🍪 have a cookie for the good work
It's also called Gladiator in Europe, but I refer to the games by their original names. Thanks for the cookie!
My ranking looks the same only that Ratchet & Clank 1 is in my 1st place
Neat!
Same lol but I dont feel like writing a paragraph why
same
No strafing
@@User-ge7ni you can with the thruster pack
For the most part I agree with this list. I would have put Deadlocked higher, as I loved the co op, weapons and mods, and arena challenges. I would have put the original lower due to lack of weapon experience and lack of updated mechanics.
Understandable
Dude this video was awesome. You can tell all your commentary is coming from a fan’s perspective, someone who knows and loves the games. I’ve just finished the first game after growing up with the Jak games and am excited to play Going Commando and the others!
Thanks! I'm glad to hear I come off as an R&C enthusiast, very passionate about this franchise. A newcomer eh, how was the original? Have fun playing the others!
@@arcaedonluminos666 The original was great! I will admit it dropped in quality a little with the planets succeeding Umbris but it picked itself back up with some brilliant and atmospheric final planets! I also love the weapons (the Tesla Claw being my favourite) and the soundtrack is an absolute bop
@@jaystev Great to hear! The Tesla Claw is my favorite too, aside from the R.Y.N.O.
@@arcaedonluminos666 The RYNO came in handy when I did the gold bolts, as I played through the game up to Drek’s Fleet and then went back and did those. There’s something satisfying about running through planets and just blowing up everything 😂 May I ask, what are your favourite and least favourite planets?
@@jaystev Of the first game, the final level might be my favorite, since it's a very poetic revisit to the first level, and is greatly expanded upon. I think Nebula G34 follows closely behind with its superb atmosphere and variety. Some others I love are Rilgar, Gemlik Base and Kalebo III.
My least favorite is Orxon, well, the Clank section at least lol, it just drags. Otherwise, maybe Eudora, simply because the main path can be cleared in a few minutes lol, but I still like it.
I agree with your list, great video!
Nice and thanks!
A crack in time is my favorite, i relate to your top 15
Great choice!
This was such a well made video with some really good points and great video editing. I can tell you are super passionate about this series and you deserve so many more views!
Aw, thanks a lot Xordy! I'm glad my passion for this franchise shows. :)
Fantastic ranking! I absolutely agree with your top... I would put the remake below All4One and Nexus I think but only that... The top 5... yeah impossible to rank... They are all amazing so no matter what you or I choose... It's impossible... True Ratchet&Clank fans know the best of the best :)
Always a pleasure seeing a list with Going Commando on top and rightfully so. Game had the best level designs, some of the best weapons and progression system, character interactions, story, gameplay.... I can go on. My favorite game of all time and nothing but OoT has come close.
Not to mention how much it innovated!
man i loved size matters got it on my psp it was amazing i had alots of fun playing it
It's good that someone likes it
@@arcaedonluminos666 It's better on the PSP, the PS2 version is borked and way harder than it should be. Also it's enjoyabl in it's own unique way, also it's better to think of it as a side story as oppose to a mainline game.
@@CreativeWM_Personal Yeah, I've heard it's better on PSP, but I've never been interested in that system, so I doubt I'll ever play that version.
@@arcaedonluminos666 Dude it's a shame, the PSP has great few games and was a successful console overall. Had it had a second joystick we would've seen more stuff on it probably
@@dodovomitory3496 Too bad the Vita killed Sony's handheld focus
In my opinion a crack in time had the best ever ratchet and clank game, gameplay and combat in the series, It was my first ever game I made effort to get platinum trophy
It used to be my favorite, and it's not far behind GC to me today. I think it was my first platinum trophy too!
Commenting for the algorithm. Nice video man, made me a little sad seeing where this series seems to be heading compared to where it came from. I bought a PS3 a while back just so I could play the OT and I enjoyed it far more than the re-made PS4 version
Thanks for helping me out, man! It really is a shame about the writing of late, I hope Rift Apart can improve on it.
Great video. Have to agree about the atmosphere in the PS2 original still holding up. Metropolis might be on of my favourite game areas of all time
Going commando and dead locked greatest hits ps2 versions were my favorite as a child
Excellent choices!
My headcanon is that Secret Agent Clank is in-universe either a grand finale movie for the holo-series or at least the final arc.
Fair enough
I think of it as a dream that clank has inbetween quest for booty and a crack in time.
Size matters was my first Ratchet and Clank game and will always have a special place in my heart.I preordered rift apart and cant wait for it.
Nice, only 1 more week!
Thank you very much for your video!!!!!!
You're welcome, thank you very much for watching!
From me gameplay wise its ACIT that feels it had so much. Story wise I'd say RAC1, TOD and ACIT are equally great stories.
The hardest game (if you put it on the hardest difficulty) is definitely deadlocked (or gladiator if you like it) and a hard game like that makes it more satisfying when you beat it.
I hope that Rift Apart has a gameplay that surpasses ACIT, a great story just like RAC1, TOD, and ACIT plus you can set the game on the hardest difficulty that would break me mentally just like deadlocked.
Btw i totally agree that going commando is arguably the best RAC game if you consider what it truly offered to us
Deadlocked is indeed the hardest game in the series. Hopefully Rift Apart can bring some of the challenge back, and more importantly a good story!
Fantastic video. I agreed with a lot of what you said. I would say the PSP games get more flack than deserved, though they are better on PSP and Vita than their ports. I beat both games and completed them. They actually have their own museums called the “High Impact Treehouse” so that’s a fun factoid.
Like anyone who grows, my list changes as I do. There are so many great aspects to each game. Here is my list at the moment:
13) Full Frontal Assault - Good gimmick gameplay is still gimmick.
12) Secret Agent Clank - Good game, varied gameplay, complicated plot.
11) All 4 One - Great multiplayer game. Sometimes I rank it higher. Most underrated.
10) Quest For Booty - I love this game for its Pirate atmosphere and story. Shame it was soo short.
9) Size Matters - Great PSP title. Had some good character moments too.
8) Into The Nexus - Spooky atmosphere and introduction of Jetpack.
7) Ratchet and Clank (PS4) - Where it fails in story in makes up for in polish.
6) Ratchet and Clank (PS2) - Original and fantastic introduction to the characters. Completely organic.
5) Deadlocked - Total blast to play. Non stop action. Totally metal.
4) Up Your Arsenal - Introduction of Nefarious. Fun gameplay and funny writing.
3) A Crack In Time - best story and great puzzles and space exploration. Not enough planet levels, though.
2) Going Commando - most variety out of any R&C game.
1) Tools of Destruction - Fantastic levels, great weapons, original R&C formula perfected. And let’s not forget the Golden Groovitron, a limitless supply of funk.
Thank you very much! Yeah, I'm sure the PSP games are better on an actual PSP, but I never had enough reasons to buy that system. That's a very nice list, glad to see some ToD appreciation, even though I've come to prefer other games over it.
> Going Commando
> most variety out of any R&C game
*what*
@@thefurry7165 What makes you question that? GC is one of the longer games in the series, has the biggest weapon roster, plenty of different maxigames, and lots of bonus content.
@@arcaedonluminos666 Before you read, I want to apologize for the long paragraph and I want to state that this is more of a personal opinion and not an actual argument or anything like that
First of all, longer doesn't mean more variety, which is really evident in GC, almost all the planets look the same or very similar and there's little variety in atmosphere, the weapon roster is fine although it recycles various weapons from the first, the music honestly isn't nearly as good as in the first game or even as in Size Matters, and it is also the game that, in my opinion, killed the main characters' personalities and motivations, not to mention that it's polluted plot and it's writing in general, again in my opinion, make Size Matters and Deadlocked look like the proper sequels to the original R&C (ignoring Quark's redemption and all that stuff that happened in the third game).
The minigames in the second game are decent I guess, although I personally think they lack polish even compared to the ones in the original an I simply don't enjoy them as much.
The new auto-aim was a huge improvement over the first game, I'll give GC that, but I think that strafing doesn't really add that much to the game and the planets can sometimes feel kind of linear compared to the first game.
I personally prefer Deadlocked over both GC and UYA, although mostly because of the writing, and themes of the story and characters, rather than the gameplay and level design.
@@thefurry7165 So your response was more about questioning GC's quality and not its variety? I mean, you do bring up levels looking similar (which I agree with to some extent, even though most of the levels do have something about them that distinguish them from the others), but beyond that, I don't think it can be denied how much variety the game has, regardless of how polished that variety may be.
In the Deadlocked one you mentioned about the Holoshield being useless in Up your Arsenal, as someone who’s went through a One Life no armour run of the game for both normal mode and challenge mode. That shield can sometimes be the difference between the death and success of a run.
Yea, Ratchet 3 was my favourite game of the series and I played it so much with no armour, I decided to do that challenge and was successful on my second run.
Fair enough. I don't doubt it can be useful in some situations, but you probably won't need it playing the game normally.
@@arcaedonluminos666 I can definitely admit that playing normally, it’s unnecessary but doing that run, I found a small love for it. Even if it was just to sponge a few attacks while I peek out to pick off a key target, it helped a fair bit.
Especially when later nigh on everything can one hit you and some areas aren’t the best for dodging on.
@@scottishboy112 Yeah that is true. I believe it also steals health from enemies after levelling it up a bit, which I imagine can help in such a run.
@@arcaedonluminos666 If you can get it up early, absolutely if there’s no health about. Being able to get up above the point of being one shot helps... But again, later you don’t want to be hit period as 200 health with no armour frequently ends in a one shot, especially with challenge mode.
The shield generator can sometimes prevent the one shot so both of them are useful tools.
@@scottishboy112 I see.
This was an amazing ranking. The only thing I would point out, is it possibly to add some music every time you talk about it? Like, you usually positively refer to a concrete track of a game when you are reviewing them, so it would be a nice add if you played some of the music every time you talk about it! Though I'm not sure if youtube copyright policy would allow you to do that! Great video :p
Thanks! I might've considered doing that, I know I did for the Going Commando review, but I was unfortunately pressed for time. I might do that in future videos though! It seems mostly TV/Movie music gets hit with copyright, so it probably wouldn't have been an issue.
Ayy Going Comando taking the top spot as it should. Solid list. Mine would be a little different, but I haven't played the mobile ones
What differentiates?
Pretty good list, i agree with your list from 15 to 6 but 1 to 5 for me would be
1. Up Your Arsenal
2. Going Commando
3. Crack in Time
4. Tools of Destruction
5. Original
That's fair!
Going Commando became my first
Ratchet & Clank game. I recalled receiving
it for Christmas Eve in 2004 with my PS2 Slim, along with Scaler. Played the heck out of it, and still think it is the best entry in the entire OG Trilogy .
Very nice!
What is your thoughts on 'rift a part'? The newest gameplay trailer looks so great in my opinion. Old planets are back
I talk about Rift Apart at the end of the video :)
Great video! I loved RaC month. My list would probably be:
1. Acit
2. RaC 1
3. RaC GC
4. ToD
5. RaC UYA
6. Deadlocked
7. Nexus
8. Remake

Thanks, glad you loved it! Very nice list btw, top 8 is quite similar to mine.
Thank you for telling it like it is, R&C UYA is way overrated and even as a kid when I got it on release, it felt off and lacking many qualities as you and GamingBrit have described. For me R&C GC will always be the top spot on my list.
I didn't realize until way later in my life, but yeah, it just doesn't have the same appeal as some of the others.
I can't lie though, playing the multiplayer mode with my sister was so fun and the single player mode was still good and funny too
great list!
Thanks!
Spot on I agree with the rating 100 percent. Also rift apart is like my 5th favorite in the series but the others remain untouchable.
Sweet, Rift Apart is my 4th favorite
40:14 Wait a minute... WAIT A F*****G MINUTE... You can kill that airship bringing down the swingshot bridge?!?!?! I played the original Trilogy for thounsand of hours and never ever considered the idea of doing that.
Indeed you can! Pretty cool don't you think?
I freaked out at that too haha
My top3 ranking got a bit different, for me it was Crack in Time (just my favorite of all of them) > Deadlocked (damn i loved replaying this one so much) > Tools of destruction (for new arc in story with which i was amazed). Everything else prob the same as yours, good vid 😊
Thanks, nice top 3!
Nice video!
Thanks!
Going commando is also my favorite of the series. I played it so much as a kid despite getting up your arsenal before it. This game gave you so much I kinda miss it.
It has so much content and variety!
same
A Crack in Time on #2, that's ma Boiii. For me it's on #1. Most story focused, most meta like (because of clank role & the clock), most serious, dark & mature one, balance between Ratchet & clanks importance, nefaruis Comeback, General Azimuth, and of course, for the first Time A LOT Side Things to do combined with beautiful coloured free roam galaxys (in general the colours & Athmosphere of the Game).
This TOPS All the Ratchet & Clanks with easy for me! Nevertheless Ratchet trillogy & deadlocked are ALWAYS nostalgia honorable Mentions.
Understandable that ACIT is your favorite, I also love it for those same reasons!
I'm okay with your top two. I thought I was gonna have to fight you, but you've done well my son.
Lol that's good to hear dad
Going commando was the first one my friend and I play of the entire franchise when it first came out, we were blown away by the intergalactic beings and games graphics lol.
I would be too
Great video!! But man, to see Size Matters so low... It was one of my fave Ratchet games. It's top 3 in the list of PSP games I played the most as a kid. What I seriously don't get is how people found Otto so hard. I never found him difficult at all. Sure, he was challenging but not super hard as everyone makes it out to be. He's a cake walk in challenge mode too! Mind you, I posted through R&C 1 and 3 a ton prior and I was around 13/14 when I played this game
Thanks! I sadly don't have that connection with SM.
@@arcaedonluminos666 That's fair enough, you have every right to your opinion. Plus, you had the crappy PS2 port lol
@@munem939 Yeah so I have an excuse XD
I think that Tools of destruction Is too much underrated
It often does get overlooked
@@arcaedonluminos666 good channel, I wish you could rank other series like God of War or Jak and Daxter or Assassin's Creed
@@pasquale7411 Haven't played much GoW or AC unfortunately. I have reviews of the 4 J&D games I've played, so I probably won't do a ranking video on that series. I might do it for other franchises though.
Going Commando is the best
Hell yeah!
I agree with just about all of this except that I don't like the Deadlocked weapon mods nearly as much as the raritanium system. Every ranking is totally understandable and honestly spot on including number 1. It's something I came to terms with over the years that R&C3 isn't the best, it is for nostalgia, but not the best Ratchet & Clank. Also I think just about every R&C fan recognizes ACIT as one of the top 3 or 4 in the series. You did a great job man!
Thanks man!
ACIT was hella rush and crunch. They had about ten months to fully work on it. And it shows in the insomniac museum with whole POLISHED LEVEL SECTIONS being cut. The game has no right to be this good.
Ikr! It's wild how good some R&Cs are despite the short dev times.
I agree with you that Ratchet and Clank 3 is overrated. The first two games have a better story and are more open.
Indeed
ah yes, the linearity = bad argument
going commando also have the worst writting of the 3
Going Comando had a clear theme of consumerism and capitalism(like the first game). You can see that in the
the satirical commercials in the games cutsceens and the manner in with the Thugs for less turns on Angela, becuse Megacorp offer them a lot of bolts. Plus I thinks its nice that Ratchet is so bored and eager for adventure, that he takes the job offer form Quak without thinking that thier may be something suspicious about it. Plus why is it a bad argumentto say 3 is more linearity
All 4 one was pretty fun when I played it with my little brother a while back, def underrated
Yeah, it's kinda underrated. At least overhated.
Great list ToD is my favorite and I beat r&c 2 yesterday for the first time and loved the only thing I didn’t like was the the final boss was very underwhelming
Thanks! Fair enough, 2 doesn't have the best bosses.
Going commando was my first ratchet and clank game and made me a fan. A Crack in time is one of my favorites as well. I agree with your top 5 sir.
Very good sir!
