Secret Agent Clank review video (PSP)
Using the same engine as the first hit PSP Ratchet & Clank adventure Size Matters, this game focuses — for the first time in the series — on the adventures of the beloved robot sidekick Clank and his secret alter-ego, Secret Agent Clank. Set after Size Matters, but before the events of Tools of Destruction.
Clank’s on a mission. His best buddy, Ratchet, has been framed by a ruthless enemy and jailed for a crime he did not commit. Not only that, but Ratchet’s maximum security prison is full of the universe’s most dangerous criminals most of whom are lining up to personally ‘welcome’ Ratchet into his new cell. Luckily for Ratchet he’s got Clank on the outside, and luckily for Clank he’s the kind of brainy little robot who is cool under pressure and knows a thing or two about tracking down a mysterious enemy. That’s why, as Secret Agent Clank, he’s hot on the trail of clues to unravel the mystery and secure Ratchet’s release from jail. Along the way, he learns and acquires new abilities, such as Clank-Fu, which he’ll use against his opponents. Unleash Clank’s cutting edge array of weapons and gadgets, such as Jet Boots, Cufflink Bombs, Tie-a-Rangs, Spy Sunglasses, and the ever helpful Holo-Disguise Monocle.
Launch into a variety of gameplay styles from all-out action to cunning stealth and brain-busting puzzle solving. Drive state-of-the-art super spy vehicles including speedboats, snowboards and sports cars. Play as Clank, Ratchet and even Captain Qwark to gather enough evidence to set Ratchet free and discover who framed the innocent Lombax.
The diminutive robot sets out to prove that he doesn’t have to play second-fiddle, taking on the tuxedo, stealthy moves, and tricky gadgets of a seasoned spy. Find out all about him in this Secret Agent Clank video review.
To quote the video review: “Like last year’s Size Matters, Secret Agent Clank won’t knock your socks off but does look good on the PSP. The familiar cast of voice actors returns to deliver humorous, tongue-in-cheek dialogue, and the soundtrack is tailored to fit the title’s spy theme. It all comes together when Captain Qwark insists on telling his story in musical form. Players take to a stage full of wooden set pieces and costumed baddies, blasting away as the hero sings his self-indulgent ballad.
Secret Agent Clank gives the series’ tried and true gameplay a suave undercover twist and keeps the action moving with a wide variety of characters, vehicles, and objectives. If you think you’re up to the mission, straighten up your bowtie and get ready to free your lombax buddy from his dusty cell — fun is definitely part of this secret agent’s job description.”
