Combining Ratchet & Clanks adventure roots with an epic
storyline and immersive gameplay, Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools
of Destruction draws players into a vast, new galaxy more
vibrant, diverse and interactive than ever before. With bustling
cities, gigantic enemies and giant boss battles, Ratchet & Clank
Future: Tools of Destruction delivers a sophisticated, yet
humorous adventure for fans of all ages. After saving countless
planets from dreadful doom and earning intergalactic
mega-celebrity status in the process, Ratchet and Clank have
taken some well-deserved R&R - again. Yet, Ratchet remains
restless. An orphan of the universe, he has never known anything
of his past, his family, or his Lombax origins. And no one, not
even Clank, can fill that void. Unfortunately for Ratchet,
someone else is equally interested in Ratchets origins: Emperor
Percival Tachyon. In his thirst for revenge, the vile tyrant of
an ancient race of foul insect-like monsters called Cragmites has
festered an age-old grudge and is bent on wiping the last-known
Lombax off the universe. As Tachyons forces ambush Ratchet and
Clank in their home galaxy, our heroes realize they need to
escape quickly to prevent its destruction. In a move of desperate
irony, Ratchet and Clank steal Tachyons imperial warship and
embark upon an adventure bigger than any theyve experienced- one
that will not only unravel the mystery of the Lombaxes, but also
test the very limits of their friendship. Insomniac Games has
