Vicki Ratchets Up Her Game

Tonight Vicki was finally able to crack open her Christmas present of Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction for the PS/3 (now that we can lazily choose to use the PS/3 whenever we want with the simple flip of a switch!)

In an uncharacteristic display of ferocity right out of the gate, Vicki-Ratchet started off kicking bad guy ass like she never has before, showing her unbridled enthusiasm for getting to play the game at long last. She made it through the first planet in only three tries (a very low total for her in any R&C game) and only needed my help once, very briefly, with a timed jumping section.

The amazing graphics in this game are everything that we'd heard (and got a taste of in the demo that we downloaded late last year) and I can see why people have been raving about R&CF:ToD in the months while we waited for the Component Video Switch to arrive! We particularly like the re-spawning ammo boxes that allow Vicki to *ahem* not skimp on the shooting! Me, I never hesitate to empty my weapons in a fun platform game like this, but my wife usually tends to be a bit more... frugal in that regard. Not anymore!
