Thoughts on the New Inductees to the PS3 Greatest Hits Library (part two)

Well, I'm back for part two of my impressions on the newest entries to the PS3 "Greatest Hits" library. I hope you enjoyed part one where I discussed my take on Devil May Cry 4, Gran Turismo 5 Prologue and Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. Today I'm going to be tackling some more critically acclaimed PS3 games to land in the "Greatest Hits" library, including Army of Two, Battlefield: Bad Company, and Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction.

Of these three I've only played Ratchet & Clank Future, but it is definitely an excellent game and I agree with everything you said. Surprisingly enough, it is actually one of the reasons I picked up a PS3. The Ratchet series hass very near and dear to me ever since I picked up the first one many years ago, and is easily my favourite platformer - yes, I like it even better than LittleBitPlanet, and that's saying something!

@ lilwingman,

I like Ratchet and Clank Future more than LittleBigPlanet as well. In my opinion, LittleBigPlanet is a *little* overrated. I did thoroughly enjoy the time I spent with the game (~15 hours) but once I beat it, played about a 100 user generated levels, and tried out creating my own, I shelved it. The game didn't really have the longevity that I thought it would. It's funny because most games that I enjoy I invest about 15-20 hours into them before they go back in my cabinet, so in that regard LittleBigPlanet held up quite nicely. The thing is, the way the game was hyped and promoted you would have thought it was going to be a revolution, similar to the impact the original Mario or Sonic created. Ten months later, I admittedly rarely give playing the game again no more than a passing thought. Sackboy is adorable though, probably the most lasting part of the game. :)
