Ratchet & Clank v Jak & Daxter v Sly Cooper: Which Is the Best Series?

Time to answer that long-debated question.

Best First Game

Recommended Videos

All three games started out as platformers, so there’s no real reason to go into them any further. Perhaps the only real difference is that Sly’s debut game had hub worlds and portals that led to the levels where your goal was to get the key at the end and repeat. Jak had you collect power cells to use machinery and access new levels.

Winner: Ratchet & Clank

Jak and Sly’s first outings can get repetitive from time to time, and even though Ratchet and Clank had its issues, like a jacked up difficulty halfway through, it’s still plenty of fun. Plus, while Jak lets you spin kick to your heart’s content and Sly has a rhythm-based boss fight, Insomniac gives you a gun that turns enemies into chickens. So who’s the real winner here?
