The multi-million unit-selling Ratchet & Clank series is set to make its debut on October 23rd on PS3 in the guise of Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction. It's a PS3 exclusive which marks the beginning of a brand-new series of next-generation games for our gadget-building hero, Ratchet, and his brainy robotic sidekick, Clank.

Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction is the second PS3 game created by Insomniac Games, after its best-selling launch title, Resistance: Fall of Man. Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction will take place in a vast, new galaxy more vibrant, diverse and interactive than ever before, with bustling cities, gigantic enemies and giant boss battles.

KEY FEATURES

KEY FEATURES • Insomniac Games has overhauled its proprietary PS3 engine technology to create the most visceral Ratchet & Clank universe yet, overflowing with exotic creatures and flying vehicles.
• Experience many more objects on screen and in more intricate detail than what was possible on PlayStation 2 Ratchet & Clank games.
• The PS3 system's superior power enables Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction to bring vivid worlds to life with increased draw distances, enhanced lighting and shadowing, and more fluid and exaggerated animations.
• Discover an all-new galaxy spanning vast worlds such as a majestic cloud city and a space-age amusement park.
• Encounter an entirely new cast of expressive characters (and some old favorites) as well as the introduction of a variety of new alien races and life forms.
• Experience a more emotive Ratchet with nearly as many animation joints in his face (90) as PS2 Ratchet had in his entire body (112). This joint density applies to many of the characters featured in Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction, enabling more detailed, personable and expressive characters.
• Clank returns as a playable character, and Ratchet will have new enhanced abilities.
• Fire a fully stocked arsenal of all-new weapons such as the Plasma Beasts and Tornado Launcher, which uses the SIXAXIS controller to direct tornadoes that suck up enemies and whip them around with debris.
• Use the SIXAXIS controller to maneuver, destroy enemies and solve puzzles.
