Mr Zurkon is back and that's nice but everything I've seen is a rehash of guns in previous games. Kind of disappointing given that Ratchet and Clank was at its best when you touched down on a new planet and saw all the quirky enemies that were specific to that planet. The more brown the enemy = the more combustor rounds it soaks up. Insomniac do the Dead Space 1 thing where they introduce the enemies you'll be fighting early on then palette-swap them. The art style is similar to All 4 One, I'm not a fan of that particular Ratchet look but that's just taste.

Game looks pretty but the number of enemies that it throws at you coupled with the crazy particle effects means the framerate can get very dicey.

There is online and local co-op but I have no one at home to play with and I haven't had any luck finding people to play with online. The last mission is brutal if you try to complete it on your own as one of the objectives involves a bomb that you have to defuse and the enemies soak up so much damage that it's hard to even get to the defusing site in time without help from another player.

The campaign is clearly meant to be played cooperatively, I struggled to complete the later missions because there are always two lanes into your base and you rarely have enough bolts to ensure your defences can secure one of the lanes.

There is little to no variety in these missions and lot of the level design elements are reused. Each level is a rehash of the last, you go through the same process of building a few defences like turrets and barriers then scavenging for bolts before your base is attacked. You have a base and you protect generators while occasionally going out to destroy the enemy base.

The campaign is essentially a tower defence game.

I won't write out a full review so here are some dot points: Ratchet and Clank Full Frontal Assault does not seem like a very good game. Hey guys, before I go any further I should say that I am a huge ratchet and clank fan, I've played every game at least twice (bar All 4 One) and know the fundamentals of the series pretty well.
