Ratchet & Clank - Original vs Future Trilogy

Ratchet & Clank is one of the few games to have been able to extend two generation consoles. Spyro tried and had a bunch of games but they weren't as praised as well as the PS1 era. Sly Cooper had a decent attempt but it wasn't as good as the original trilogy. But Ratchet & Clank managed to achieve this, the original trilogy on PS2 are still awesome, they're insanely fun to play. And the sequel trilogy (Also known as the future trilogy) was still awesome, while not as awesome as the original trilogy, I still highly recommend it. The future trilogy, not only has beautiful graphics but is able to continue the great gameplay of the series and also is able to go deeper into the story and characters then ever before.

But with that being said, I don't think its better than the original trilogy, the original series had far more creative weapons and gadgets to use, basically putting it, it was a lot more fun. And these are games that most definitely based around gameplay more than story, and while the future trilogy tries to create more parallels and a deeper story, the thing that has always made Ratchet & Clank special is the creative gameplay and perfect mixture between platforming and action, and in my opinion nothing will ever top the original trilogy for that, in fact the second trilogy was somehow less creative than the first trilogy. So, the winner is definitely the original trilogy.

And now, ranking every innuendo in the franchise titles from worst to best: Tools of Destruction, Crack in Time, Up Your Arsenal, Quest for Booty, Full Frontal Assault, Going Commando & Size Matters...teehee.
