Ratchet and Clank: All 4 One

Two years after this dynamic duo dazzled in A Crack In Time, we find our heroes in the midst of a dilemma of intergalactic proportions when Dr Nefarious’s latest evil plan goes awry, leaving the pair plus Qwark and Nefarious himself caught in the snare of a powerful and mysterious machine.

Begrudgingly, the Galaxy’s biggest do-gooders and its most sinister criminal must work together to discover a means of escape, which lends an additional element of interest to the ninth chapter in the R&C series.

Supporting online and offline four-player co-operative action, this is an adventure best enjoyed with pals, packed to the rafters with over-the-top weaponry and multicoloured pyrotechnics, not to mention support for 3D TVs. Another quality dose of humorous high-jinks.
