Yeah... my friend hired Madness Returns a few weeks ago. I thought it was shit.

Seriously, tell me three things that this game does that Ratchet and Clank doesn't do? Fuck that, tell me one thing that this game does half as well as Ratchet and Clank does it.

Seriously: Ratchet and fucking Clank. At the end of level one, I knew who the main characters were, I knew what I was supposed to do, I knew how to do it, and I was interested and invested in the relationship between the two main characters.

At the end of Level one in AMcGAMR I didn't know who Alice was, I didn't know what the fuck I was supposed to be doing (aside from peppering floating pig snouts), I didn't know who the villain was, the only reason I knew where to go was because there was only one path through the level and I didn't have a single reason to give a shit.

The only thing this game did was remind me how much fun Ratchet and Clank was.
