Ratchet & Clank games are always easy to like, and this one is no exception. Friendly and funny, with the wacky weaponry and varied gameplay that are the hallmarks of the series, Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction hits all the Ratchet notes with a well-balanced mix of platforming and gunplay. The weapons are as wacky as ever, the gameplay is as varied as in any game in the series, and the level design is as clever as you'd expect.

Furthermore, the move to PS3 has been good to our lombax pal. Levels are huge, detailed, and beautiful, and Ratchet himself is now noticeably furry -- a nice touch. Of course, the PS2 games looked so great to begin with that it's harder to find that huge leap that some PS3 games can offer; Future looks fantastic, to be sure, but I experienced only a few of the "holy crap" moments that make one pause and think that the PS3's abilities are really being pushed.
