In the sixth installment in Insomniac's popular action series, Ratchet and his robotic sidekick Clank must stop an insane intergalactic emperor, Tachyon, from conquering the entire Polaris galaxy.

Overview

Tools of Destruction pits Ratchet and Clank against the diminutive but thoroughly dangerous Emperor Tachyon, who's out for revenge after Ratchet's people, the Lombax, exiled the Tachyon's own people, the cragmites, to an alternate universe using the "Dimensionator" weapon. The game opens with Tacyhon waging total war in order to find Ratchet, the last of the Lombax and the one who is trying to unravel the fabled "Lombax Secret" in order to bring his race back to its home planet of Fastoon. Even Clank undergoes some self-identification with the help of the mysterious "Zoni," a group of hovering robots that aid the duo's efforts throughout the game (though only Clank can see them). With the help of the Zoni and the, uh, humble efforts of Captain Qwark, Ratchet and Clank set off across the galaxy to find the "Lombax Secret."What has always made Ratchet & Clank such a fun series is the humor and originality in the arsenal of weapons. There's something for everyone, from a green Jell-O-like substance you can bounce on for hard-to-reach points, to a disco ball that will temporarily cool any enemies' hatred in the name of '70s-style dancing, to a pirate costume utilized by Ratchet to sneak around and put on a very convincing pirate jig.Tools of Destruction leaves things with a bit of a cliffhanger, so expect more from Insomniac Games' long-running franchise. At E3 2008 the downloadable sequel Ratchet and Clank Future: Quest for Booty was announced to be released on August 21, 2008.
