Insomniac Games attempt to breathe fresh air into the Ratchet & Clank series with a new co-operative mode...
Seamless drop-in/drop-out gameplay that makes the game accessible to young and old. Typically great humour.
The camera can be quite restrictive unless all players are on the same wavelength. The shoot-em-up gameplay gets old fairly quickly.

Insomniac's latest may well be its last PS3 exclusive. It’s actually quite surprising that Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One was developed by Insomniac Games. It just has that feel of a side project – the kind of thing you’d leave to other developers, like wh...
Blandness and boredom combine when played alone, but throw in three friends and it becomes a minor hoot. All in all, though, it’s just not that great a platformer – only look into it if you’re desperate for multiplayer jump-’em-up action.More Articles...

Multiplayer works pretty well within the existing Ratchet template; wide variety of action and diversions; as visually slick and funny as previous entries.
