There is also a selection of moons in each system that offer a range of puzzles and combat opportunities. Here he will encounter battles that can be fought (or optionally avoided) and missions that can be taken or not as preferred. Once there he can fly around in a 2D plane in 3D space. Instead of flying directly to a planet, Ratchet can fly to a solar system.
In other levels, their use makes things easier, even if they are not required.Ī Crack in Time also has a new map and transport mechanism. Some levels are constructed in a way that requires use of the Hoverboots in order to complete them. Hoverboots also enable Ratchet to extend the distance he can cover after jumps and while using sprung platforms. These enable Ratchet to travel quickly over terrain that he would not otherwise be able to traverse.
One other new aspect of A Crack in Time is the inclusion of Hoverboots. Soon it becomes a good deal more difficult, and forms some of the most fun this reviewer has had puzzling in an action platformer for some time. Record Clank standing on a switch to open a door, and then go through the door while it is open. This activity forms the central activity in a good number of increasingly mind-bending puzzles during the game. Inside the clock, he comes across time pads which enable him to record his actions and replay them. In his larger role, Clank can now slow down time, and doing so plays a major part in his ability to traverse The Great Clock which he occupies for much of the game. The other aspect is time travel, which plays a small but important part in the gameplay and a much larger and equally important part in the storyline. In a twist that we will not go into for fear for spoiling the plot for potential purchasers of the game, Clank's role in this game is far more significant than in any previous game, except for Secret Agent Clank - a side game if ever there was one.
These fall into two basic categories, one is time manipulation - which it transpires is an ability of Clank. The name A Crack in Time is a reference to the story of this game, but also to the gameplay theme that makes it stand out from previous games most noticeably. Where previous games have made only small upgrades on the core platform and combat mechanics of the series, A Crack in Time takes a significant leap forwards. This time, however, there's the smell of change in the air.
