  8.0

  Compared to some other PSN titles it doesn't offer the same replay value, but it more than makes up for this in production values and overall quality. If thought of as a mini-adventure rather than a full game it ranks up there with the best the series has ever offered and as such is essential to all action loving PS3 owners.

  It has all the same elements as the original, but it just doesn't deliver the charm and appeal. Of course, it is an intentionally shorter game at a markedly lower price, so it's not unexpected that some compromises would have to be made. In the end, Ratchet and Clank Future: Quest for Booty delivers a quarter of a game at a quarter of the price, and ultimately, you're only getting a quarter of the entertainment.

  Quest for Booty is the finest console Ratchet and Clank adventure since Up Your Arsenal, even when you factor in the missing ingredients. The excellent pacing makes this the most focused game in the series, and the visuals and control live up to the high bar established in previous Ratchet games. It won't sway those who have given up on the franchise, but anyone looking for a platformer that focuses on nonstop entertainment will find a lot to love here.

  If you haven't played a Ratchet and Clank game before, this is certainly a good place to start since it has a very short play time. At fifteen dollars, it also isn't much of an investment, as long as you don't count time wasted waiting for it to download. Still, if you can manage to busy yourself until the game is on your hard drive, Quest for Booty is a good game that will help fans fill the gap between Tools of Destruction and the unnamed next game, set to come out fall 2009.

  Ratchet & Clank Future: Quest for Booty has been designed as a quick four-hour experience, but the formula doesn't fit the source material. Though its shooting and platforming sequences are fun and of a high production value, it still seems like there's something missing... and that's because there is (for obvious reasons).

  8.0

  There is no denying that this is a good game worth the price of admission, as the presentation and gameplay alone are top-tier among the PSN library. However, as a Ratchet game, Quest for Booty is merely a short but pleasant appetizer while we wait for the folks at Insomniac to deliver the main course sometime later this year.
