Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction (PS3)
Insomniac Games has overhauled its proprietary PS3 engine technology to create the most visceral Ratchet & Clank universe yet, overflowing with exotic creatures and flying vehicles.
The PS3 system’s superior power enables Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction to bring vivid worlds to life with increased draw distances, enhanced lighting and shadowing, and more fluid and exaggerated animations.
Discover an all-new galaxy spanning vast worlds such as a majestic cloud city and a space-age amusement park.
Encounter an entirely new cast of expressive characters (and some old favorites) as well as the introduction of a variety of new alien races and life forms.
Experience a more emotive Ratchet with nearly as many animation joints in his face as PS2 Ratchet had in his entire body. This joint density applies to many of the characters featured in Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction, enabling more detailed, personable and expressive characters.
Clank returns as a playable character, and Ratchet will have new enhanced abilities.
Fire a fully stocked arsenal of all-new weapons such as the Plasma Beasts and Tornado Launcher, which uses the Sixaxis controller to direct tornadoes that suck up enemies and whip them around with debris.
Use the Sixaxis controller to maneuver, destroy enemies and solve puzzles.
Upgrade and customize weapons with a new system that provides greater power and flexibility. Players also will have the ability to upgrade Ratchet’s armor.
Utilise Ratchet’s new supply of consumable “on-demand’ combat devices, such as the Groovitron, which causes enemies to dance uncontrollably to ’70s disco hits.
Gadgets gameplay returns as Ratchet and Clank will have more gadgets at their disposal to help them bounce, fly, evade and defy gravity.
Pilot Ratchet’s ship through asteroid fields while trying to destroy enemy fleets in a complete redesign of classic Ratchet & Clank space combat gameplay.

Customer Review: Bring on the next one!!
Another fantastic Ratchet and Clank game, I loved it. It doesn’t take itself too seriously and this is reflected in how much fun you have in this game. The use of the six axis controller is quite good, the graphics are fantastic and flawless the game is varied enough to keep you going to the very end. Great game…. now where is the the next one??
Customer Review: Fantastic, PS3 owners should play this.
Tools Of Destruction is the latest offering of a series started out on PS2, with Ratchet, a brash Lombax and Clank, a wise robot. Whilst it may appear ‘kiddy’, like Legend Of Zelda it has appeal for all ages. It begins in the series signiture setting of Metropolis where it is under attack by “Killer Robotic Commandos” and things set off from there. The controls are smooth and easy to get used to, with a hotkey selection system for weapons, gadgets and combat devices. Combat devices can give you an edge in battle, most noteworthy is the Groovitron that forces enemies to dance whilst you blow them to bits (Every enemy has a different dance, and is worth watching!). Other combat devices exist, but onto the weapons, the portfolio is diverse and it’ll take a while to fully upgrade them; some include a Tornado Launcher which is guided by the PS3 motion controls and an electric whip, fun for the whole family! The platforming gradually lowered in each installment on PS2, but thankfully it’s back in style and fun. It’s easy to see what you have to do and how to time things so it is not an exercise in frustration. The puzzles are good too and not too difficult, they use the motion controls here too to provide interesting gameplay. The game length itself isn’t too big if you want to simply blaze through, it’ll take you several full days to do so, but as if many other games by Insomniac the full fun comes in unlocking all the Skill Points and Challenge Mode. They give you various extras such as concept art, extra costumes, and even an extensive developer commentary by member of Insomniac Games, which is interesting. There is even parts of a weapon that are scattred across the levels, collect them all to get the ultimate weapon in the game. In short this game is great fun, and will last you ages. Great for kids and adults alike, especially if you are gonna start out your PS3 collection. Highly recommended.
