Secret
Agent Clank
available
Sony
Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) announced the North American
release of
Secret
Agent Clank
today,
exclusively for PSP. Developed by High Impact Games,
Secret
Agent Clank
features a story that focuses on Clank as the central character,
while still containing plenty of the recognizable Ratchet and Clank
tongue-in-cheek humour. The game takes a lot of cues from classic spy
movies, in an adventure that takes Clank to the far reaches of the
galaxy, in an effort to prove Ratchet's innocence.
For
the first time in the franchise's history, players now have the
ability to play as four different characters during various portions
of the game – Clank, Ratchet, Captain Qwark and the Gadgetbots –
each with their own signature styles of gameplay and personal
objectives. While Clank is on the hunt for information to prove
Ratchet’s innocence, Ratchet is in prison fighting for survival
against criminals which were put there by him. Meanwhile, Captain
Qwark is one step behind Clank, arriving to locations and claiming
credit for Clank’s successes with outlandish stories executed by
the player.
“
Featuring
exotic locales suitable for only the classiest of robotic spies,
Clank’s adventure finds him snowboarding down a comet, engaged in a
dance of death with the exotic Countess Lottbolts, competing in a
high stakes card game, and discovering the foundry which produces all
the bolts for the galaxy. Armed with high tech gadgetry, Clank must
subdue enemies twice his size using an arsenal of upgradeable gadgets
from cufflink bombs to a blowtorch briefcase.”
Secret
Agent Clank
is available now on PSP for $39.99 USD/CAD and is rated E10+ for
Everyone 10 and up.
