Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack In Time for PlayStation 3 delivers an epic blend of platforming, action, puzzle-solving, and exploration. The game follows Ratchet, a Lombax armed with a powerful array of weapons and gadgets, and Clank, a robot equipped with the ability to manipulate time. Together, they must stop an evil force threatening the universe. With Ratchet's new hoverboots and Clank's Chronoscepter, players can explore vast environments, tackle complex puzzles, and engage in high-speed combat across the Breegus System.
Ratchet's journey takes players through open exploration as they navigate planets, engage in space battles with his starship Aphelion, and fight waves of enemies in the Agorian Battleplex arena. Completing objectives rewards players with bolts, Zoni, and upgrades for weapons and armor, allowing Ratchet to improve his combat abilities. With the addition of constructo mods and holo-plans, Ratchet can customize his weapons, adding a deeper level of strategy to gameplay.
Clank’s segments offer a distinct experience, focusing on puzzle-solving using temporal recordings and his Chronoscepter to manage time. Players will need to use careful planning and creativity to unlock new paths and fix anomalies in the Great Clock. These sections provide a refreshing contrast to Ratchet’s action-packed gameplay, with both main and side objectives rewarding players with hidden items and progress.
Once the story is completed, players can dive into challenge mode, retaining all their upgrades while facing tougher enemies. New Omega weapons and a bolt multiplier make the replay even more engaging. Additionally, players can showcase their stats and custom weapons online via PlayStation Network, extending the game's replay value with competitive and creative possibilities.

A Crack in Time is a third person three dimensional action game with elements of platforming, shooting, role playing, puzzle solving and open exploration. The player controls Ratchet, a lombax who wields an arsenal of weapons, gadgets, and flies a sentient starship known as the Aphelion, and Clank, a robot trainee for the role of Caretaker in the Great Clock who can make use of his Chronoscepter to manipulate time. Ratchet retains much of his core moveset, as well as make use of the OmniWrench Millennium 12 ability to manipulate objects, with the main new addition being the hoverboots that allow him to traverse environments very quickly. Clank's use of the Chronoscepter and ability to create temporal recordings make his puzzle-solving gameplay vastly different from previous titles.
Gameplay is split between the duo, with Ratchet exploring the open segments of the Breegus System using the Aphelion, which can land on planets and moons to complete main and side objectives, which normally involve either platforming through linear sections or combat sections shooting enemies. Between planets and moons, Ratchet will fly the Aphelion in space combat, speak to new individuals to be set different objectives, and can also compete in the Agorian Battleplex arena to defeat waves of enemies. Main objectives completed continue the story, while side objectives award prizes in the form of bolts (currency used to purchase new weapons and armor), Zoni (used to upgrade the Aphelion), constructo mods (used to modify functionality of constructo weapons), gold bolts (used to unlock extras such as skins), or holo-plans for the RYNO V (which will grant Ratchet the weapon once all are collected).
Control will often switch to Clank, who is undergoing training to become the Senior Caretaker of the Great Clock. Clank must complete puzzle-solving objectives using temporal recordings to unlock paths forward, and also use the Chronoscepter in planet rooms to stop temporal anomalies on a planet. These are required both for main objectives to proceed with the story, and side objectives to unlock areas both for Ratchet and Clank to find hidden items.
After completing the game, the player can choose either to warp back before defeating the final boss, or proceed to replay the game in challenge mode, which allows Ratchet to keep all weapons with their respective upgrades and all Aphelion upgrades, and fight more powerful enemies. In this mode, Ratchet can purchase the Omega version of his weapons to upgrade them beyond the maximum. As these weapons are much more expensive, challenge mode has a bolt multiplier for enemies that were destroyed before Ratchet takes a hit.
New to the game, players can record their in-game statistics and showcase their preferred and customized constructo weapon using PlayStation Network.
