Fun and full of challenges, this one or two player game brings together four characters from Ratchet and Clank, Jak & Daxter, and Sly Cooper. They work together (you can choose who to play) to compete in a series of challenges using the PlayStation Move controller (required).In the story, aliens have swiped chunks of the worlds of Ratchet, Jak and Sly in order to create a mysterious new planet in the galaxy. After they are abducted to this new world, Ratchet, Clank, Jak, Daxter, Sly Cooper and Bentley compete in competitions. You can use a variety of weapons including Ratchet & Clank's combustor, Sly Cooper's cane and super power weapons that are customized to each character. Medals are earned for completing missions and challenges; and the more medals you earn the more missions you unlock. For example, in one game, you move around (using the controller) and then collect flying disks, which you throw and steer (using the Move controller) in order to hit targets. You end up using both controllers at the same time; which takes some getting used to. PlayStation Network leaderboards show players how they stack-up against other players on the network; and a co-op gameplay mode is available. Developed by Nihilistic Software for Sony. If you're looking for healthy doses of the characters, you'll be disappointed, and if you don't mind the controller juggling, you'll find this game to be fun.
