Read Polygon's Ratchet and Clank: Full Frontal Assault review.Īt the game's outset, the titular duo is ferrying wanted space witch Vendra Prog to a prison somewhere on the other side of the universe. It takes thousands of bolts to buy a single worthwhile turret but defeated enemies and smashable objects rarely provide a fraction of that cost. It's easy to get overwhelmed - especially when a column of enemy troops warps in and begins tearing up your base while you're on the opposite side of the map - and Full Frontal Assault's single-player economy is lopsided in favor of the AI. Turrets and barriers fall apart at the slightest hint of enemy fire unless you're there backing them up, distracting bad guys and replacing busted defenses as needed.

You need bolts (the game's currency) earned from exploration and completing objectives in order to buy turrets back at your base, but leaving the base unattended while enemy waves are approaching is tantamount to surrender. There's an uncomfortable balance between defense and exploration in Full Frontal Assault's campaign mode.
