Ratchet & Clank: Full Frontal Assault

Description

Ratchet & Clank: Full Frontal Assault (known as Ratchet & Clank: QForce in PAL countries) is a platform game developed by Insomniac Games for the PlayStation Network and published by Sony. Like the previous downloadable game in the series, Ratchet & Clank Future: Quest for Booty, in Europe, as well as the United States for this time, it was released on Blu-ray Disc as well as the PlayStation Store. It is available on the PlayStation 3 with the PlayStation Vita version delayed until January 2013 and available for free with the PlayStation 3 version.

Ratchet & Clank: Full Frontal Assault heads back to the classic camera, weapons and third-person Ratchet gameplay that the series is known for, while adding a new tower defense element that will have the player building and defending a base against invasions using the ultimate Ratchet & Clank arsenal. It will feature five levels set on three different planets. The game will allow players to play as Ratchet, Clank (in either his Giant Clank or normal forms), or Captain Qwark. This title will also feature the ability for co-op play, both on and offline.

Reception for Full Frontal Assault has been mixed, with the game holding a 64 average rating from 31 critics on Metacritic as of December 20, 2012. PC World said that the game lacks a story. It estimates that the single player campaign mode can be completed in about four hours and is a Tower defense style game, unlike the previous versions. The review stated that the multi-player version is where the game "really shines" but "it isn't enough to outweigh the lackluster single-player experience"
