Ratchet and clank tools of destructio

United States. Custom Bundle:. Video Game Series:. Manual Included. Region Code:. Manufacturer Warranty:. Sony PlayStation 3. Release Year:. Sony Computer Entertainment. Game Name:. About this product. Incorporating both shooting and platform jumping segments, Tools of Destruction finds Ratchet on a personal mission to stop a Lombax-loathing emperor from destroying his species.

Droll sidekick Clank accompanies his feline-like friend on an action-packed trek across the cosmos. The duo will visit and explore new 3D worlds, from a prehistoric land inhabited by towering dinosaurs to a swamp-like world crawling with insects. To bring the planets to life, developer Insomniac Games created an enhanced version of the graphics engine used in Resistance: Fall of Man, the company's first PS3 game.

The Transmorpher temporarily changes enemies into waddling penguins with a keen fashion sense, while the Groovatron forces foes to get down and get funky.

Jiggling gelatin cubes are generated with the Gelanator, which Ratchet can use to reach higher areas. Several cinematic events are woven into the action for diversity, from grinding atop twisting rails to engaging in space combat while traveling across fixed paths. Along the way players will encounter several new characters that shed light on both Ratchet and Clank's pasts.

The Tornado Launcher, for example, fires a twister that can be "steered" toward a target by tilting the controller, allowing Ratchet to move independently with the analog stick. Players must also tilt to avoid objects while freefalling, to manipulate circuit panels, and to even fly with Clank's robo-wings -- one of several new abilities the little robot acquires as he progresses.

While Tools of Destruction does not feature a multiplayer mode, solo players are encouraged to revisit areas to unlock bonus content and other surprises. Product Identifiers Publisher.

Alternate versions In the Japanese version, Ratchet's appearance is altered slightly: he has large black eyebrows and more reflective eyes. This was presumably done to give the game a slight anime feel. User reviews 2 Review. Top review. Explode This, Break That and Smile. The story of Ratchet and Clank continues with Tools of Destruction. For us platformer lovers this was a long time coming.

Thank goodness Insomniac let the game release a week early so we wouldn't have to wait any longer. Besides dealing with an all-new bad guy, Ratchet through this new villain is learning new things about his past. While Clank is also a key part to the story, he begins to see tiny robots called Zoni, that only he can see. Oh and you can't forget about Quark. When it comes down to the presentation, the audio, the graphics The player sometimes flies the Aphelion through on-rails sections.

The Aphelion can move and aim its weapons anywhere on the screen, but is confined to the set path on-rails. The player is tasked to survive through this section and defeat the boss at the end before proceeding. Along the path, the player should destroy several ships to earn bolts, with larger ships arriving with exposed weak points that can be destroyed to take down the ships. Asteroids can also be destroyed to earn bolts. During these sections, the player sometimes is given control of Clank, who pilots the turret on the back of the ship, and the player must destroy incoming enemies and projectiles to survive.

Once the boss is reached, the player must destroy the boss' weak points to defeat the boss and move on. Tools of Destruction takes place in the Polaris Galaxy, which is ruled by the cragmite Emperor Tachyon. After leaving planet Kerwan, Ratchet explores several sectors of the galaxy, as well as a few locations in space.

The Polaris Galaxy was once home to the lombaxes after they had defeated the cragmites during the Great War , but Tachyon had since drove the lombaxes to near extinction. Abandoned Lombax technology can be found on many planets in the galaxy, such as Fastoon , Sargasso and Rykan V. Much of it has been found by Max Apogee , a lombax explorer who kept his findings in Apogee Space Station , now home to his daughter Talwyn.

Much of the knowledge of the galaxy is contained within the IRIS supercomputer. Emperor Tachyon controls much of the galaxy, with his drophyd armies defending his own territory and searching the galaxy for lombax technology. There are several planets not ruled by Tachyon, with Igliak as the capital.

The galaxy is also home to Space Pirates led by Captain Slag , who attack and loot ships around the galaxy from their hideouts such as Ardolis. Several planets are also controlled by the kerchu , some of the galaxy's greatest architects but also fierce defenders of their territory and hostile to outsiders.

At the start of the game, Ratchet and Clank were on planet Kerwan trying to complete one of Ratchet's new vehicles, the nuclear-powered rocket sled. While Ratchet was assuring him that the vehicle would work fine, Clank received a distress call from Qwark , who was stationed at the Planetary Defense Center.

Before Ratchet and Clank arrived at the Defense Center, Metropolis was attacked by an alien race known as the Drophyds , who worked for a villain named Emperor Percival Tachyon , the last of the Cragmites. The Cragmite Emperor was hunting down Ratchet, who was thought to be the last Lombax in the known universe and the greatest threat to Tachyon's empire. Tachyon tried to make a deal with the duo, stating that if they both surrendered, the Drophyds would leave Metropolis unharmed.

Ratchet and Clank tricked Tachyon; however, and fled into his warship. Having escaped from Kerwan in the warship, Ratchet and Clank were forced into Cryosleep by the ship's autopilot system. Some time later, they crash-landed on planet Cobalia in the Polaris Galaxy.

While unconscious, Clank had a vision where he was flying in a strange city with a group of mysterious robots surrounding him saying, "His past is inside. The duo made their way to a spaceport , where they met the Smuggler. The Smuggler told them that he would take them off Cobalia if they got the nearby Gelatonium Plant working again.

After they agreed, he gave Ratchet the Gelanator. Ratchet and Clank were able to get the plant running again. The Smuggler gave the ride as promised, but only took them as far as Stratus City on planet Kortog.

The Smuggler ejected Ratchet and Clank onto the surface of Stratus City after a lifeform scan detected a Lombax signature on his ship. After fighting through the city, the Zoni upgraded Clank with the Robo-Wings.

There they had to flee the planet via an escape pod to the nearest planet, Fastoon , revealed to be a Lombax planet. When the two landed on the devastated planet, Ratchet wondered where all the Lombaxes were. Clank explained that the planet was deserted years ago. They found an old, destroyed ship named Aphelion. After finding five Lombax Flight Components scattered around the area, Clank made his way through a Raritanium Mine with the help of the Zoni, and obtained the sixth and final one.

The duo repaired Aphelion, who told them what happened on Fastoon. They found after fighting in a tournament that Qwark had sworn loyalty to Tachyon. Qwark gave Ratchet a video as a prize for winning the tournament. The video revealed that Tachyon was plotting to search the entire Polaris Galaxy to find the " Lombax Secret. Upon arriving at the Nundac Asteroid Ring, they found the Smuggler, who gave them the launch code to a pod that would take them to the Apogee Space Station.

Ratchet and Clank rode the pod to the station's Maintenance Hub and traversed it to reach the station's interior. There they fought through the security system and almost made it to the final room's entrance to find the door locked. The Zoni upgraded Clank with the Geo-Laser , allowing them to cut the wall open. Two old robots, Cronk and Zephyr , tried to attack Ratchet, but ended up running into each other.

Talwyn then appeared and threatened to send Ratchet through the airlock. Upon realizing that Ratchet was a Lombax, she told Cronk and Zephyr to lower their guard. Talwyn then told Ratchet of her father, Max Apogee , and how space pirates had raided the station and stolen a pyramid-shaped artifact. Ratchet recalled the Smuggler mentioning space pirates that inhabited planet Ardolis , and on a hunch the duo flew to the Pirate Base. Ratchet and Clank made their way to the base's treasure room and recovered the artifact, but were forced to hide when Captain Slag and Rusty Pete flew to the room on a sail barge.
