Ratchet & Clank 2002

Is it still worth playing?

Insomniac Games' 2002 third person shooter and platformer for the PlayStation 2, the first Ratchet & Clank. A Lombax named Ratchet meets the robot Clank, who has found out that the villainous Chairman Drek plans to destroy other planets to build a new one. You control Ratchet in third person, with a first person mode to look around and aim. The gadgets are the heart of it. Up to 36 unusual weapons and gadgets are bought or found to defeat enemies and get past obstacles across diverse environments. At the start there are two, the OmniWrench 8000, a melee weapon that also works on puzzles, and the Bomb Glove, a short range grenade thrower, and more arrive as missions are completed. A pile of strange weapons to buy and find still gives every fight a new toy to try today.
