That Guy Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 I'm trading in some games next week and am interested in getting one of the Ratchet & Clank games for PS2, since I enjoyed what little I've played of the 1st. The thing I'm wondering is, which is the best of the 3 on PS2? They all look the same to me and it may be a case of me getting which ever is cheapest if there is no real improvement between 1-3. I also like the look of Jak and Daxter, has anyone played any of those games, and if so which is the better of those, and how do they compare to Ratchet and Clank?
McMad Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 Get Jak and Daxter one, ignore the other two, I've never played Ratchet and Clank so I have nothing say about their games.
MasterYoda Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 Jak and Daxter is a fantastic game. Never really got to play 2 and 3 though. Ratchet and Clank is awesome too, but again I only have the first game so can't comment on the others.
Domstercool Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 I've only played Jak and Daxter in the games you mention. It was as entertaining and fun platformer, don't know what to say about hte others since I haven't touched them, but gamerankings says they are all good platformers. They are probably all super cheap anyway.
That Guy Posted March 14, 2007 Author Posted March 14, 2007 I might buy the original in both series, can always play the others at a later date if they're really good.
Hero-of-Time Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 Jak and Daxter is an awesome game but the sequels blow. Ratchet and Clank are highly addictive and great fun to play and I would recommend them over the Jak series. Make sure you start from the beginning though or you will miss some of the in jokes as you play through the series.
Yggdrasill Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 No one like Jak II and III then? I loved all the jak games even jak x
monkeyking87 Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 Yeah I really liked all the Jak and Daxter games, but I like 1 the most the most original and innocent of the games, the rest always tried to be GTA too hard IMO Ratchet and Clank are good, though its more of the same really, Ive played 2 and 3 through and they were good but not a patch on Jak because I played that one first so would always play that one over R+C because I like Jak more I spose. Get Jak I say Oh btw isnt there a Ratchet and Clank comming for PS3? I cant wait if there is anyone know a release date or was I just imagining it?
Owen Posted March 18, 2007 Posted March 18, 2007 No one like Jak II and III then? The first one, is 10x better then number II and III. It went all GTA and just didn't work, in my opinion. You'll love the first one though. It has that great adventure feel, superb colourful locations etc..
That Guy Posted March 18, 2007 Author Posted March 18, 2007 Decided to just get the 1st one of each series, and maybe when I'm running out of stuff to play I'll get Ratchet 2 and 3. I'll probably get them in a month or so, I'm kinda poor right now.
Ellmeister Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 Bought Jak and Daxter + Metal Gear Solid 2 for a £5 from my mate. Completed Jak and Daxter, it was awesome. MGS still hasn't reached my ps2 yet. Jak and Daxter FTWWWW
That Guy Posted March 31, 2007 Author Posted March 31, 2007 I bought Jak and Daxter and Ratchet and Clank. Liking Jak and Daxter so far. Not played Ratchet and Clank yet though.
Slaggis Posted April 4, 2007 Posted April 4, 2007 played both series, all their games. Ratchet and clank is by far the best. Though the fourth one gladiator is more fighting, i.e shooting orientated. They are awesome games
That Guy Posted April 4, 2007 Author Posted April 4, 2007 Yeah I really like them both. Jak and Daxter was a bit weird with the fact that the levels are all seamless.
Hero-of-Time Posted April 4, 2007 Posted April 4, 2007 Yeah I really like them both. Jak and Daxter was a bit weird with the fact that the levels are all seamless. Im glad you are enjoying them both. The next Ratchet game is probably what will make me buy a PS3. I love getting all the Skill Points and Bolts in the Ratchet games. For some reason collecting them doesnt seem as tedious as getting items in other platform games such as Banjo Tooie and Donkey Kong 64.
Ryan Posted April 6, 2007 Posted April 6, 2007 My first PS2 game was Jak 1, played it until my eyes bled..

For some reason collecting them doesnt seem as tedious as getting items in other platform games such as Banjo Tooie and Donkey Kong 64. Finally someone that shares my view!! Ratchet and clank never ever gets boring. The third one is the best. I have completed it 7 times now! I am only going to buy a ps3 for ratchet and clank: tools of destruction (september) and then sell it again.
