I went back and got it on PS2, figuring that maybe it would be better if I played it as it was originally intended still nope, only this time I found it ugly, too. I tried it when it was remastered and re-released on PS3 I gave up because it didn’t compare to the R&C Future games that I’d played after it. See, I’ve tried - and failed - to get into this first game in the R&C series several times. But it should! Because, much like that adorably shocked kitty, my jaw dropped the moment I started playing Ratchet & Clank, and it stayed in that position for pretty much the entire time I played it. I suppose, though, that a single image GIF review doesn’t pass muster of such a high profile game. After all, that one image basically captures my feelings towards it. I wish my entire review of the new (well, sorta-new) Ratchet & Clank game could just be this GIF of a shocked cat.
