Ratchet & Clank review. Shop CGR shirts & hats! Classic Game Room reviews RATCHET & CLANK, originally released for the PlayStation 2 PS2 in 2002 from Insomniac Games, Ratchet & Clank is now available in the Ratchet & Clank HD Collection for PlayStation 3. This Ratchet and Clank game is the first in the popular series where Ratchet (Han Solo) meets his robotic sidekick-backpack buddy (C-3PO) and fight Drek to save the day! Ratchet and Clank is fun for the whole family with clever dialog, great 3D platforming action game play and characters with personality. Collect nuts and bolts to spend on a wild assortment of futuristic weaponry like the Glove of Doom and the vacu-suck weapon.
