Game Overview

The quiet, robotic half of Sony's bolt-busting duo finally gets a chance to let his metal muscles shine in Secret Agent Clank. When his Lombax friend gets framed for a crime he didn't commit, Clank dons his finest tuxedo and goes into full cloak-and-dagger mode.

The Good

Great arsenal of weapons and gadgets, Light stealth mechanics are well implemented and mostly optional, Almost all of Captain Qwark's levels are laugh-out-loud funny, Plenty of replay value, Humorous storyline plays out like a James Bond spoof.

The Bad

Ratchet's levels are repetitive, Lock-picking minigame is overused.

The Bottom Line

Using the same engine as the first hit PSP Ratchet & Clank adventure, this game focuses -- for the first time in the series -- on the adventures of the beloved robot sidekick Clank and his secret alter-ego, Secret Agent Clank. Set after Size Matters, but before the events of Tools of Destruction, the premise behind Secret Agent Clank surrounds Ratchet as he's framed for a crime that he didn't commit. Unfortunately for the hero, the trial is skewed against him, and all indications point to him being found guilty. To save his friend, Clank dons the tuxedo and equipment of his favorite alter ego, Secret Agent Clank, and investigates who's behind the accusations. Along the way, he learns and acquires new abilities, such as Clank-Fu, which he'll use against his opponents. He'll also gain access to new weapons, such as bow tie boomerangs, cuff link bombs and jet boots.

Clank's first outing as a secret agent is a funny and action-packed adventure that you'll want to play more than once.

Sadly, the weak camera and fighting mechanics just don't work as well as Size Matters.

By the end, it feels like you're playing just another platformer rather than the epic, fun spy story it seemed like you were setting out on...That's not what Ratchet and Clank is all about.
