Ratchet: Gladiator

Ok, I guess this means now the end of a good month playing _Ratchet & Clank_ games. Tonight I now finished the unofficial 4th part of the series: "Ratchet: Gladiator" (German title).

Unofficial simply because this isn't really a platformer-shooter like the first 3 titles are, but more ... a shooter Short story short: Ratchet, Clank and Al are kidnapped by an entertainment mogul and Ratchet is forced to participate in arena fights. These fights go from normal arena matches to challenges known from RC3 where you basically have to reach certain checkpoints of kill a boss.

While this might sound boring if it's all the game has to offer, this was actually not the case. Insomniac managed to rotate the challenges well and so kept the game throughout entertaining. There are also some challenges, where you have to use a hoverbike, hovercraft, land stalker etc. Nothing special, but it keeps the game fresh.
