Full Frontal Assault
There’s nothing wrong with a series shifting gears while still retaining its core, and Ratchet and Clank knows that. After all, the original game was a platformer while the sequels from then on have been action-shooters. A tower defense R&C should make sense, right?
The best thing that can be said about Full Frontal Assault is done right, this series could have fun with tower defense. But the game’s length does it no favors by having a story mode that you can beat in less than a day. Whether or not you have fun with this title will depend on how much you enjoy running from control point to control point for four hours. Sure, there’s multiplayer, but that isn’t always going to be enough to carry a game, especially if it’s from a franchise with as strong a single player campaign lineup as this.
