Looking for a state-of-the-art video game? Look no further than this latest edition of Ratchet & Clank. The graphics look "amazing" on the PS3, as long as you have a good quality screen. Designed for one player, you play as either Ratchet or Clank, as you run, jump, fly and fight your way through over five levels. Each character has unique abilities to help with different jobs. You can fly on Ratchet's Hoverboots that allow him to travel at high speeds and great heights or utilize Clank's time-manipulation abilities that can be used to stop Dr. Nefarious, who is attempting to control time himself. There are space battles, star systems to explore and hidden collectables. The game features new weapons including the Cryo-Bomb Glove, Plasma Striker and Sonic Eruptor, as well as classic items such as the Negotiator and Buzz Blades. Developed by Insomniac Games for Sony.
