Ratchet and clank tools of destruction part 8

Beautiful game. Slick, pretty, humorous and awesome. From shooting guns, blasting bombs, grinding rails, flying spaceships, sky-diving, puzzles And while you're tackling all the fun things to do in this game, not once will you complain about the controls.

They have the controls down sooo well. If you fall off a cliff, miss a jump, aim poorly The sixaxis control is used really well also I even thought the Twister weapon was fun, as long as you're not facing a shooting enemy, you should be just fine. Though, some people didn't enjoy this weapon at all. Also there were some glitch moments which was very surprising, saw some floating debris, Ratchet getting slightly stuck in places, but all in all, these are minor things that I could really care less about.

Did it hinder my game-play at all? Did it ruin the beauty and controls? Nope, nope, nope. Also people are complaining about the difficulty. They find it as easy or easier than the past Ratchet and Clank games. I personally thought it was fine, but overall, I wouldn't mind a tougher experience.

But hell, if you really want a tougher experience, just don't buy any of the armor. Still easy? Then don't upgrade your weapons. There, that'll make it a little more difficult. There ya have it. Right now at Halloween Resistance: Fall of Man and Ratchet and Clank Future are two of the best games you can buy for the PS3, and both are made by the dudes and dudettes over at Insomniac. But it's just like the old ones And for new-comers, you've made the right choice.

For me the Ratchet and Clank series has been pure video-gaming joy. ElijahCSkuggs Nov 5, Details Edit. Release date October 23, United States. United States. 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. Slag's sense of smell helped him determine that there was a Lombax in the room.

Talwyn then appeared and threw a smoke bomb when Ratchet and Clank dropped down a hole and made their way to the Skull Radio Tower. Outside the tower, they met up with Talwyn, Cronk and Zephyr.

Talwyn couldn't make the artifact work, and when she handed it to Ratchet, it hovered over his hands. When pressed one of the sides, a 3D map of a planet appeared, which Talwyn recognized as Rykan V. They then flew to the planet, but were forced to first fight through a fleet of Slag's ships in the Rakar Star Cluster.

They then made their way to a room with the Gyro-Cycle, where they met up with Talwyn, Cronk and Zephyr. Ratchet unlocked the door to the room, which was filled with nothing useful, except an ancient HoloVid projector. The projector played a video that revealed to them that the Lombax Secret was a helmet called the Dimensionator and gave them their next lead on the Dimensionator's location.

They then traveled to planet Sargasso , where they tried to find the testing facility mentioned in the video. The Smuggler pointed out a destroyed launch pad for the Robo-Wings and sold them a Decrypter to fix it. Ratchet successfully got the pad working with the Decrypter and the duo flew to the facility with the Zoni's guidance.

Once at the testing facility, Ratchet and Clank encountered The Plumber once again. Qwark contacted the heroes on their way back to Aphelion claiming that he may have found a clue. After battling through another tournament on Mukow, Qwark showed them a video displaying the IRIS supercomputer , the largest supercomputer in the Polaris galaxy, which he believed would know the Dimensionator's location.

The Zoni appeared yet again and Clank had a vision of Talwyn being locked away in an unknown prison. Ratchet learned about Tachyon's origins. Tachyon was frozen as an egg and eventually found by Lombax Trillium miners on the Kreeli Comet who then raised him on Fastoon. However, once he learned of his Cragmite heritage and origins, he waged war against the Lombaxes. The duo traveled to Zordoom and freed Talwyn from her cell. Once Ratchet and Clank got back to Aphelion, Talwyn contacted them and said she had found Cronk and Zephyr in the scrap compressor.

They continued on towards planet Jasindu , first having to fight through Slag's fleet near the Verdigris Black Hole. After dealing with the pirate fleet, Ratchet and Clank landed on Jasindu. They made their way to a grind rail and traversed it while a giant robot controlled by a Kerchu tried to kill them. Upon destroying the robot in an arena, Ratchet found the Dimensionator. However, Captain Slag and his pirate fleet arrived, stole the Dimensionator and threatened to kill Ratchet and destroy Clank if they followed him.

Aphelion tracked Slag's Fleet to the Ublik Passage. The heroes willfully followed the pirates and defeated Captain Slag. Ratchet was then given the "honor" of becoming the new captain of the space pirates by Rusty Pete.

Ratchet refused, though, and said he just wanted the Dimensionator. Qwark popped out of a pirate crate, took the Dimensionator and vowed to throw it into a black hole while fleeing in an escape pod. Rusty Pete, still claiming Ratchet to be the captain, revealed that the escape pod would land on the Cragmite homeworld on Reepor.

With Cronk and Zephyr in control of two large cannons, Ratchet, Clank and Talwyn tried to find a way inside the stronghold. After splitting up, Ratchet and Clank made their way to a raised platform and found Tachyon wearing the Dimensionator with Qwark under his walking throne's leg. Tachyon summoned the Cragmites from exile, knocking Ratchet unconscious and separating him from Clank. Clank found his way back to Aphelion with the help of the Zoni, who showed him another vision of Ratchet standing in front of a portal on Fastoon before a muffled scream was heard.

Meanwhile, Ratchet traversed his way back to Aphelion and found Talwyn and Zephyr repairing a broken Cronk. Ratchet was devastated when he began thinking that Clank had perished. Clank flew down with the Robo-Wings and the duo was reunited. Aphelion said that her sensors had picked up a Cragmite armada rapidly approaching Meridian City on planet Igliak.

Talwyn told Ratchet that Meridian City was the capital of the Polaris Galaxy and that they needed to hurry while she and Zephyr repaired Cronk. Ratchet and Clank then traveled to Meridian City , fought off Tachyon's forces, Gyro-Cycled through the Sector-3 Construction Zone , flew through a tunnel and finally found Qwark cowering in a closet. Clank then believed that Tachyon may be headed for Fastoon, based on his vision from the Zoni. Ratchet willingly agreed to go there, finally seeming to believe Clank about the Zoni.

Tachyon then revealed that the Lombaxes had taken shelter behind the walls and used the Dimensionator to flee to another dimension when Tachyon initially invaded Fastoon in the Great War. Only two Lombaxes stayed behind, the keeper of the Dimensionator and his infant son, Ratchet.

Ratchet's father was revealed to have been killed by Tachyon, but not before sending Ratchet to Veldin. Tachyon opened a portal to the Lombax dimension and gave Ratchet the chance to join them. Ratchet; however, realized that no one would be safe as long as Tachyon had the Dimensionator, and vowed to destroy the gadget. After injuring Tachyon, the Dimensionator opened and sucked all three into another dimension. After Ratchet and Clank defeated Tachyon, he declared that only he knew Ratchet's real name and his purpose before being sucked into a black hole after promising revenge.

Ratchet attempted to use the Dimensionator to escape the crumbling dimension, but realized that the Primary Reflux Coil for the device was missing. Ratchet and Clank used the now-working Dimensionator to return home. Ratchet awoke surrounded by Clank, Talwyn and Cronk and Zephyr. Ratchet wondered if Tachyon told the truth about his purpose and father.

Clank told Ratchet that Tachyon was telling the truth and that Ratchet had filled his purpose by vanquishing Tachyon. They committed genocide on dozens of sentient species, and devastated hundreds more such as the ghost-like Loki , whose homeworld of Toranux was destroyed by a Cragmite warrior named Bagogg who returned after escaping the planet to destroy it.

The ever-growing number of conquered worlds were depleted of natural resources by the cragmites before they moved onto other worlds. The Empire consisted primarily of cragmites, though it had some allies including Zorthan , who killed at least one hundred lombaxes during the war.

The lombaxes deemed the Great Cragmite Empire's rule over their galaxy unacceptable and took leadership role of the resistance against them, being the only independent force capable of challenging them due to their engineering prowess. The two races became eternal nemeses and fought long periods of time during the Great War. Eventually, eight of the most brilliant minds in lombax history, in the Center for Advanced Lombax Research , created the Dimensionator , which could be used to transport the entire cragmite race to another dimension.

This machine was used to send the entire race to dimension X , where they were located in a dying star approximately 8. This ended the cragmite rule over Polaris and effectively won the war for the lombaxes. Greetings, inferior beings of Polaris. Does your life lack a sense of purpose? Do you constantly worry about finding steady income? Do you like killing stuff?

Then join the Imperial Army and aid me in my humble quest for galactic domination. Here you'll travel to new places, meet interesting people, and execute them in the name of… me.

During the Great War, a lone cragmite egg was frozen on the Kreeli Comet. The lombaxes found the egg while mining trillium , and took pity on this cragmite and raised him as their own.

The cragmite grew up to by Percival Tachyon. Tachyon grew up happily with the lombaxes, until he learned of his true origins and developed a deep hatred for them. Tachyon became a brilliant inventor, in secret creating an army of space pirates to scour the galaxy and collect machinery for him, and with the lombaxes, proposing new technologies for weapons which served the blueprints for his own Imperial Army of drophyds.

Many lombaxes, including Kaden , were suspicious at first, though General Alister Azimuth of the Lombax Praetorian Guard was convinced this was the right thing to do as the Polaris Galaxy was still a dangerous place. He therefore granted Tachyon access to all lombax technology, unwittingly granting Tachyon the tools he needed to create his new empire.

With all he had needed, Tachyon banished his space pirates to Praxus Seven and recruited the drophyd species on planet Zaurik , presenting them with a fortune in Raritanium and equipping them with the advanced battle suits he had created using lombax technology, to recruit them to his cause.

Tachyon turned his new army on the lombaxes and laid waste to Fastoon , plunging the lombax city in ruin. This forced the lombaxes to flee and take refuge in the Court of Azimuth, where they used the Dimensionator to flee to the lombax dimension , banishing Alister Azimuth and leaving Kaden and his son Ratchet behind to watch over and hide the Dimensionator. Tachyon conquered much of the Polaris Galaxy, and sought to find the Dimensionator to restore his race. Tachyon eventually killed Kaden, but the Dimensionator was still hidden.

Having conquered much of Polaris, Tachyon then hunted out the remaining lombaxes. This prompted Tachyon to send a fleet to planet Kerwan and lay waste to the city of Metropolis until Ratchet was surrendered to him.
