Features
Tools of Destruction is like the basic game play found in previous Ratchet & Clank games, which player controls Ratchet most of the time, with some sections using Clank, as they explore a numbers of worlds in completing missions, using Ratchet’s wrench and other exotic weapons gained during the course. Besides weapons gained, player can collect Raritanium crystals and use them to upgrade the weapon in additional ways beyond the experience path; weapon improvements are presented in a tree-like structure and require that all previous upgrades be obtained for that weapon first before later upgrades can be purchased. Besides weapons, there are also objects known as ‘devices’ that provide beneficial affect to the player. Armour can be bought from an armour vendor on certain planet. At times, the player will control Clank in a mode similar to previous games, using robotic creatures called Zoni to fight foes, remove debris or reconstruct bridges, and to power devices in the level. Clank possesses the ability to slow down time as well during these sections, allowing him, for example, to make his way under a rapidly closing door. Moreover, it also features an arena with several challenges beyond the main game play. This series also features lip-synced dialogue between the characters during game play, out of cut scenes.

Moreover, this game is installed with minigames and gameplay mechanics. Lombax is a race of catlike creatures. Emperor Percival Tachyon is a big-headed alien who is the villain in this game. He has a Napoleonic complex. He apparently doesn’t like Lombax. Therefore he planned to get rid of Rachet. In this case, he learned that lombax has a secret but Rachet himself doesn’t know that he is a Lombax. Clank is Rachet’s sidekick robot who has been interacting with some tiny aliens called the Zoni which he only can see. In the game, Rachet is provided with various weapons such as grenades, rockets, spikes, blasters, a whip, bouncing saw blades, and more. The game dialogues are quite hilarious. The advantages of this game are that the shooting and plat forming are as exciting as ever, various weapons, great colourful visuals and firm controls. While the disadvantages are that there are some pointless gameplay mechanics, the game is lack of identity and it is too easy. Hence, viewers commented that the story of the game is not that entertaining and the ending is unsatisfactory.

Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction (PS3) review
Reviewer: DarkZero01 April 2009- Overall 8
When all is said and done Tools of Destruction can be best seen as a refinement rather than the big step forward that some thought it would be when it was first announced. At its core the game is still what it has always been, offering its own unique blend of platforming and shooter action. However, this time it features bigger levels, zanier weapons, and much more scope than ever before. As a result it’s certainly hard to step away from the game feeling any way... Read more

Developers really gave their own best by creating a really funny e various product, which is also involving and ironic. The difficulty level is well balanced, easier at the beginning, just to get players used at new controls and game functions, to then get on top with the ending Boss. A product for every age that can surely give you many playing hours (about 15) that you can long if you want to strengthen all the guns and discover all the secrets. FrancescoPontillo -... Read more

There is so much more that I could say about Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction - but I've already said far too much, because it's such a complete joy to play that you really need to experience it and discover all that it has to offer for yourself. Quite simply, it's as perfect as a game can be - state of the art in every respect, from graphics and animation to sound, music and voice acting, to story and script, to level design and environment themes, to puzzles and...

Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction (PS3): For all ages
Reviewer: Dooyoo6 days ago- Overall 8
When i first heard about Ratchet and Clank i wasnt sure if i was going to get it or not. The main reasons why were because it can seem to the older gamer a bit like a kids game. Having thought that too myself i got the game anyway. Im so glad i did, from the beginning you can tell that it has a great storyline to follow and that there will be twists and turns throughout. The graphics are also very good and make everything look real. The main character is Ratchet and you... Read more

Can destruction be fun? Can it what!
Reviewer: Ciao20 February 2009- Overall 10
I knew nothing about this game except that it was a platform game - very different to the first person shooters (FPS) I normally play. It takes you no time at all to get to grips with the controls, who's who in the story and what you are supposed to do. The colours are big, bold and vibrant (especially on a HD TV). There are a huge array of weapons to choose from with the bonus that they automatically upgrade through use. I defy anyone to not play this game with a... Read more
