Together they travel a fictional universe where they battle the games boss Drek. Using a wide range of very unique weapons a player must defeat enemies and solve puzzles to advance.

"I'd like to emphasize that Ratchet & Clank is not a "bad" game. It does a lot of things right, has decent production values, and a fair amount of polish. It's just bland. It's nothing new. With the exception of the graphics you've seen it all many times before, and probably with more flair and better characters." Benjamin Turner, reviewer for GameSpy
