There are a few issues that keep All 4 One from going over the top and being a truly great game though. It takes a really deliberate press, more than just a click, to toggle the sprint ability on and off at will.Īll 4 One is a good game, and the more I think about it, I think it is a very fun game. Controls are tight and responsive, save for a sticky sprint button that is mapped to 元. You have a basic melee attack, a throwing melee attack (good for those explosive crates) and ranged attacks for when you want to use your ranged weapons. The R stick is used for selecting your weapons that are arranged in a dial format. You can’t control where you look so movement is simply mapped to the L stick. The controls have a typical platforming feel to them. Everyone undoubtedly has that friend that will just go after the bolts. This is where the cooperative play can become competitive. Just like previous games, you collect bolts during gameplay that can be used to buy new weapons and upgrades at specific shops throughout the game. The rest of the work is done for you as your attacks charge up and ultimately cause greater damage. It is as simple as using the same gun as your partner and aiming at the same bad guy. With cooperative play, you can combine attacks from similar weapons to create super attacks. Over-the-top weaponry, a mainstay of the franchise, continues here, but perhaps not to the extent of previous games. This is always a welcome feature in any type of co-op game and the ability to do so is much appreciated. Players can drop in and out of games at anytime. Unlike PlayStation Move Heroes, there’s no support for the Move peripheral here. While the game touts four player cooperative play, you can play alone or with any number of friends, either locally or online. Nefarious must work together to escape their captors and return home. Nefarious goes awry and as a group, Ratchet, Clank, Captain Quark and Dr. All 4 One is set following A Crack In Time and spins a decent backstory that brings control of Doctor Nefarious into the hands of the player for the first time. I hope more developers take this idea and run with it. I am going to start this review with a big thank you to Insomniac for an intro video that makes at least the first third of the 2.5GB required install to the hard drive much more palatable. So how does this decidedly different approach to the Ratchet & Clank franchise fare? Not just is it part of the game, it is the main focus. PlayStation Move Heroes notwithstanding, Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One brings cooperative play to the franchise for the first time. Following 2009’s impressive A Crack In Time, the Ratchet & Clank series is back with a new twist.
