you know the score by now. we take a game and convince you to play it in 5 bullet points. in the third of our “5 reasons to play” series, we are looking at ratchet and clank: tools of destruction. read on to find out why you should play it.

1) the visuals are stunning. highly polished and vastly diverse, this is one world that you will savor exploring.

2) there are a huge array of unique weapons and gadgets. from the relative ease of the nano-swarmers to the awesome hands-on style of the shredder claws, and even a deployable disco ball!

3) more games should make you dance to open doors!

4) fun implementation of the sixaxis motion controls. you’ll get to control ratchet as he sky-dives to his destination, as well as tilt a board in a unique hacking mini-game. by far the best use of motion control is through the robo-wings which allow you to glide around levels by tilting the controller.

5) much like “5 reasons to play: zack and wiki”, it has pirates!
