Review Ratchet and Clank: A crack in time

The game is about fighting and adventures. At the end of the game, you have to fight General Azimuth, who is Lombax like Ratchet. Here is a picture of Ratchet and Clank.

You do adventures in this game, and the characters are funny. You do solve puzzles.

You play Ratchet, he has a robot on his back called Clank. The captain that is silly is called Captain Quark. He is scared of people who attack him. The main baddy is Dr Nefarius. Dr Nefarius is silly, and he has robot guards and butler. He always sends different baddies to come after Ratchet, who is you. General Azimuth starts good, but he turns bad because he wanted to go back in time. If he uses The Great Clock, a time machine, it will break and it keeps time so everyone will die.

Ratchet can defeat enemies by using a monkeyator, which turns the enemy into monkeys that are harmless. There’s another bomb which is the disco bomb, you throw one then all your enemies dance. There are hover boots that go really fast, but you have to get them from General Azimuth when he is good again. There a bonus bit, and you get a new gun called a Rhino Five, which is the most powerful gun, which is like a machine gun and in the middle it can fire a rocket. You have to fly to different worlds and collect the pieces until you’ve got all of them and then you can make it. There are more guns than this that you can choose, but these are just a few that you can do.

There is a puzzle where you have to pretend that you are a pirate, and there are pirates behind you, and if they say” go right”, you have to go right, and if they say “go left”, you have to go left, and if they say “shake your booty” you have to shake your bottom. That is making you dance a pirate jig, and if you do it right, then you go through a door to the next bit of the level.

I like this game because it’s funny, and it is silly, and because it’s exciting. I wouldn’t change anything about it. I think people from five up would like this game.

I give it 9/10.

Film Review - The Avengers (part one)

The Avengers film is an exciting film about the Avengers, who are Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, The Hulk, The black Widow and Nick Fury, agent of Shield.

This is about the characters:

The Hulk is big, green, muscly, strong and angry. When he is not the hulk he is Bruce Banner, who used to be a scientist. He is a superhero, and when he gets angry he turns into The Hulk.

Nick Fury, Agent of Shield has got an eye-patch. He always looks angry

Iron Man has got a suit which is a red and yellow metal suit, and he gets rockets out of his hands and feet to help him fly. And he’s got a metal thing in his chest. The suit makes him strong. He has rockets everywhere around his suit. He is clever and silly.

Thor is strong, and he’s got a hammer that nobody except him can lift up. He’s got a red cape, he’s a god of Asgard.

Captain America has got an unbreakable shield. and he was in the army, and he’s really strong.

The Black Widow is a girl, she is fast, good at fighting, and she works for Nick Fury. She is a spy. Spies go into other places to find out what other people are doing.

They work together to fight Loki. Loki is an evil god from Asgard. He now works for the ice-giants, and he came to Earth to kill everybody. At the beginning of the film the Avengers fight with each other, and then they learn that they are all good at different things, and they learn to use each other’s strengths.

Review - Tekken Tag Tournament 2

The game is about fighting and swapping your characters. You can do huge, powerful hits and you can be against the computer, or another person. You win when you get the other person’s life down twice.

I like it because we can swap our characters. My favourite character is Ogre, because he is big, and because he has got a snake arm. The person I always tag with him is Prototype Jack, because he’s big, and he does some good hits. ‘Tag’ is when you swap your people around in your team.

I also like the way people can make other people appear without even tagging them, because it’s a surprising thing in the game, and you don’t even know who they’re going to be until you see them. Another surprising thing is when you drop through the floor.

You can choose your own background in the game, and the people that you choose can fight in there. There are lots of different backgrounds; one is like a dark cave and there are skulls everywhere. It blends in with the character and I like that. When you’re in the skull cave there is scary music because you’re fighting in a scary place, which is clever. There is also a nice, flowery background, and when you beat that boss, it turns evil, because the boss of this background starts nice, but she turns evil, so the background turns evil too. It’s a teeny bit scary, because real life backgrounds don’t usually change. I like this, and it does need a few scary bits in it.

It is easy to practise on this game, because there is a practise bit where you’re allowed to choose your person and the person you’re fighting against, and you get to choose silly people.

I don’t think there are any bad bits, except that I’d like to know more of the fighting moves.

I give it 10/10.
