Knowing the track record for video game adaptations by this
point, I should have no right to be looking forward to any of them… okay, save
for Assassin’s Creed, but all in due time. Until then, we have a theatrical
version of a pretty heavily ingrained part of my gaming childhood, one which continues
to be awesome to this day. Even considering the PS2’s track record when it
comes to platformers, R&C is still one of the most beloved by the fans,
myself included. Its creative weaponry, its memorable characters, its utter
lack of shame when it comes to toilet humour; Insomnia Games made a serious gem of a series. Have to
admit, knowing that most of the original voice cast as well as the writers of
the games are helping bring this film to life, I’m genuinely hoping for something good
this time around.
