Game Overview

Flying through the air on a winged beast, soaring through the clouds ? ok, so we?ve all played games like this a thousand times before, that doesn?t stop Insomniac Games, creators of the Spyro the Dragon series, from adding another amazing title to the roster. Originally announced a few months ago for PlayStation 2, Ratchet & Clank has players assume the role of Ratchet, a small batlike creature, or Clank, a robot that?s always on Ratchet?s back (literally). Using flamethrowers, bomb gloves, wrenches and 35 other weapons, Ratchet & Clank must venture through a strange and exciting world.

The Good

Strong shooting and platforming sections, Quirky sense of humour.

The Bad

Poor camera leaves you stranded, Dull graphics and sound, Uninvolving multiplayer, Short single-player campaign.

The Bottom Line

While on a much needed vacation, Ratchet and Clank's rest and relaxation time is suddenly cut short as they soon find themselves lured into a mysterious quest. Following the trail of a kidnapped girl, Ratchet and Clank rediscover a forgotten race of genius inventors known as the Technomites. They soon uncover a plot more dangerous than they could have imagined.
