Join the zaniest pair of adventurers the cosmos has ever seen
As Ratchet and Clank embark on their third outing on PlayStation®2 - and it's sure to be their most thrilling ride yet! And for the first time in the series, Ratchet & Clank goes multiplayer.
Ratchet and Clank 3: Up Your Arsenal features manic multiplayer gameplay for up to 4 players via a Multitap (for PlayStation®2) or up to 8 players online via the Network Adaptor (Ethernet) (for PlayStation®2).
No other action character game offers this kind of multiplayer gameplay and for the first time on PlayStation®2, friends, family and even strangers can use the universe's best weapons to battle it out together.
Single Player Features
- Ratchet and Clank return to Planet Veldin (the setting of the original Ratchet & Clank) to explore a multitude of diverse planets filled with perilous combat and challenging gameplay
- Players will have the ability to earn up to 15 new weapons with up to four levels of upgrades for most weapons. Weapon upgrades can be unlocked by killing enemies and can increase the amount of damage to enemies as well as change the weapon's functionality
- Not only can players control Ratchet, they can also play as Clank and Captain Qwark, with brand new abilities in level-specific areas
- Ratchet and Clank will be able to earn new high-tech gadgets along the way to help them navigate through the universe
- Players will gain access to new vehicles, like the Turbo Slider or Hovership, to compete in races and combat enemies in intense battlefield missions
- The Starship Phoenix, headquarters for the Q-Force, is the flagship in the fight against Dr. Nefarious and serves as a key information hub. The Starship is also where players receive new missions and training, and can purchase armour and weapons
- Using a memory card from Ratchet & Clank 2, players will have the ability to obtain a few favourite returning weapons for free
- Intuitive enemy artificial intelligence (AI) means non-playable characters (NPCs) behave more intelligently by gathering information about their environments and forthcoming attacks and ultimately providing more of a challenge for players
Multiplayer/Online Features
- The split screen multiplayer offline mode supports two or four players offline
- The multiplayer online mode accommodates up to eight players over a broadband connection
- Six additional levels for online play provide plenty of diverse surroundings featuring destructible environment obstacles - perfect for creating more havoc
- By working with their team, players can capture and destroy their competitors' base by using their arsenal of weapons to overpower their enemies
- New commandeer vehicles in the multiplayer mode are equipped for co-op gameplay, allowing players to work together as one person controls the direction of the vehicle while the other unleashes the powerful arsenal of weapons included with the vehicle
- Nodes represent certain strategic locations on an online battlefield where players gain ground to capture their opponent's base if they secure these. So, if a player captures a Node, but his character is terminated later during a match, the player's next turn can begin at the Node - instead of being sent back to the player's home base
- Voice communication is supported online via the USB headset (for PlayStation®2) allowing communication with fellow team members during online games, either in-game or in the main lobby
- The lobby area will feature an online friends list, allowing players to be matched up based on their gameplay statistics and providing the ability to select from a variety of player skins
