I'm sure in the long run, Uncharted 2 will be remembered as the better game --BUT-- I actually went into RaCF: ACiT with a little trepidation, thinking to myself: "This is gonna be the same game I've played again and again."

It doesn't stray too far from the usual formula, but the Humor (Mr. Zircon), the BEAUTIFUL, detailed graphics... Hell, even the adorable Ratchet cartoon-character that appears in the weapons vendor screens... they ALL scream High-Production values and above all F-U-N!

This game has a couple of noticeable improvements aside from that though. (1)The first couple of worlds with Ratchet and Captain Qwark have a buddy-system aspect kinda similar to UC2 and (2)This game is quite a bit more challenging than Future and Quest for Booty; this is an awesome thing! Some of the early fire-fights really surprised me!

It goes without saying, the weapons are as cool as ever and the Clank sections are as clever as they've always been!

It may not change very much, but this series doesn't need to. It's more about the humor and fun than anything else and I'll never tire of that!

**I find it utterly amusing that 1Up's preview had that fat nerd saying it was getting "long in the tooth" and --THEY-- gave it the best review out of all the sites! "A" baby!**

Errrmmm... I know you like to finish games you start, but no one said you had to do it in one night!

My god man! How many hours have you put into the game already?!

Did you buy it or rent it?

is anyone thinking of getting Nostalgia?  nice looking DS rpg set in a steam-punk world (complete with zeppelin) ... leo? robio?

Yeah, I just bought it through our VG press store. Turn-based FTW.

Site promotion FTW

I've managed to be completely ignorant of Nostalgia until you just brought it up here.  Apparently it's from Ignition Entertainment, who have a very interesting backstory with a catalogue all over the map.  They are behind some quality titles, the likes of Muramasa and Mercury Meltdown, as well as some incredible garbage such as Elf Bowling 1 & 2, Lotus Challenge, and King of Fighters XII (which you may recall from the podcast darthhomer decrying as completely broken).  They also have no history of RPGs.

A double-post, I'm impressed 0_o the submit button is disabled when you press it the first time.

EDIT: Aw, you edited it

Hey Namco, word of advice.

Close to, if not over 10 minutes of boring cutscenes, then five minute gameplay segments, then back to long cutscenes make not a good story mode.

Fucking hell, I can see that I'm going to hate Tekken 6's scenario mode.
