Ratchet & Clank Collection

It's not a perfect restoration - odd design choices and framerate drops mar the experience - but a fantastic amount of literal bang for your buck awaits in a trilogy that is still one hell of a lot of fun. You certainly won't regret your purchase, but you might wish that Ratchet and Clank were treated just a little better in their epic return.

Ratchet & Clank Collection is a reminder of how one developer dared to give some guns to a platforming mascot and made a couple classics in the process. In an era where every third-person shooter comes with bloodstains and a cover mechanic, it's nice to return to this lovable duo and discover that they haven't aged a bit.

If you can ignore these issues, as well as that dodgy camera, then there's no reason why you shouldn't get up off your chair, run to the shops with your arms flailing in the air and buy this collection right now. It's more than just a nostalgia trip, mind; this is a trilogy that plays great, looks even better and gels together more seamlessly than any other HD collection I've played to date.
