I know that Crack in Time tells you what occurs in those two games at the beginning but I don't know if I'd ruin the experience or story of the other two if I did play Crack in Time first. What are your thoughts? User Info: papad02 papad02 10 years ago 2 If you are gong to get ToD and QfB anyway, do so and play them first just to make things flow more naturally.
User Info: RSmit RSmit 10 years ago 3 From: ddowns02 Each game has its own story which is loosely connected there are references to prior game events in each to the next. User Info: flaire flaire 10 years ago 4 I'm with the guy advising you to play them in order.
I hate this game so much. Penaly for dying? Stupid gold bolts. Sound Effect Issues. Tech Support. Where do i bring the ryno 5 holo plan to the smuggler? What is the price u pay for skipping puzzles? Side Quest. Best place to level-up weapons? I need help with Korthos Alpha I got everything on it but it still is lit up green can anyone tell me why?? Main Quest. User Info: Osgoroth. CiT took me about 2 days, so maybe 25 or so hours to beat once.
Mind you, I'm a completionist and I went and got everything gold bolts, Zonis, etc. ToD, I would guess would take about the same. Depending on your actual playing skill, I'd say a solid weekend of play should get you through the game, or close to. And although it's true that CiT's story follows ToD story, it's also true that at the beginning of CiT, you get a summary of what happened.
Of course, it's always better to experience that story first hand, so yea. In the end, it's still up to you, but I would personally suggest playing ToD first to really get into the story, before playing CiT. And also, you get an in-game bonus for CiT if you have save games from ToD and QfB ToD gives you a discount on weapons and armors, QfB gives you a skin for Ratchet [This signature was deleted at the request of a lesser deity].

Ratchet works to learn more about the lombaxes in the hopes of finding the "Lombax Secret" that may be used to defeat Tachyon, while Clank is aided by a mysterious, invisible alien race known as the Zoni who claim to be key to his past. Tools of Destruction is a return to the third-person action adventure gameplay from the original three entries on the PlayStation 2 , with elements of shooting, role-playing, platforming, puzzle-solving and on-rails space combat.
Ratchet can collect all-new weapons which can be upgraded through use and now through Raritanium , as well as gadgets to overcome obstacles. The game introduces devices, which are rarer, non-upgradable support weapons.
Clank has his own gameplay sections that allow him to command the Zoni to complete stages. Tools of Destruction is a third person three dimensional action game with elements of platforming, shooting, role playing and puzzle solving. The player controls Ratchet, the last lombax alive who wields an arsenal of weapons, gadgets and devices, and carries his sidekick Clank as a backpack allowing him to make use of the Heli-Pack and Thruster-Pack.
Ratchet has access to his core moveset from previous titles, and obtains an entirely new set of weapons and gadgets, as well as devices , nonupgradable support weapons. The duo travel between the planets of the Polaris Galaxy using the Aphelion , a sentient lombax ship, completing a set of objectives on a planet before obtaining coordinates for the next planet to progress through the story. Objectives normally require the player to control Ratchet and traverse through a linear section on a planet, fighting enemies on the way and using gadgets to complete puzzles.
Other objectives are varied. For some missions, the player controls Clank as he commands Zoni to complete a set of puzzles to traverse through a section. At other times, the player flies the Aphelion through an on-rails section to defeat enemies normally Space Pirates , by either flying the ship or controlling the turret on the back as Clank, before defeating a boss at the end of the section and then progressing onward.
Ratchet can also participate in the Imperial Fight Festival on planet Mukow , a set of gladiator battles from which bolts can be earned. Ratchet can additionally collect Leviathan Souls from various planets, traversing open areas to fight Leviathans to obtain and sell their souls to the Smuggler. The player can collect bolts to purchase weapons, Raritanium to purchase weapon upgrades, holo-plans to construct the RYNO IV weapon when traded with the Smuggler, and gold bolts to buy skins.
After completing the game, the player can choose either to warp back before defeating the final boss or replay the game in challenge mode , the latter of which allows the player to keep all of the weapons, devices, and armor they have collected so far and fight more powerful enemies. In this mode, Ratchet can purchase the Omega version of his weapons to upgrade them beyond their original maximum level. As these weapons are much more expensive, challenge mode has a bolt multiplier, which increases as Ratchet defeats enemies without taking a hit.
Ratchet begins with ten units of nanotech , representing his health. This is can be increased by earning experience points from defeating enemies, up to Ratchet can also purchase armor from a GrummelNet armor vendor which can reduce the amount of damage taken. Tools of Destruction features fifteen completely new weapons. The Combuster and the Fusion Bomb are immediately available for free, while others are either purchased from vendors with bolts, discovered on planets, or in the case of the RYNO IV, obtained from the Smuggler once all holo-plans are acquired.
Weapons can be upgraded from V1 up to V5, at which point its functionality changes, and in challenge mode, an Omega version of the weapon can be purchased, allowing it to be upgraded five more times to VX.
Each weapon can also be upgraded using Raritanium from weapon vendors to improve it in areas such as rate of fire, ammunition, and damage, with each also including a special upgrade that, once unlocked, change the weapon significantly. The game also features eight devices, which provide support in battle. These include the Groovitron , Mr. Zurkon , Transmorpher and Visi-Copter. Devices cannot be upgraded with the exception of the Groovitron, which can be upgraded to the Gold Groovitron when purchased , and ammunition is scarce, meaning they are mostly used in emergencies.
Fourteen gadgets are featured in the game, of which five are original. Other gadgets are earned by completing objectives and are required to progress further through the game. In some sections, the player controls Clank, who can command the Zoni to complete puzzles and traverse areas. Zoni control is similar to Gadgebot control from previous games, with some differences. The Zoni automatically fire at nearby enemies and allow Clank to slow down time on his own, allowing him to bypass quickly-moving obstacles.
They can be commanded to use Levitate, allowing Clank to hover for a certain amount of time; to use Manipulate, allowing them to fix objects provided he controls enough at a time ; or to use Charge Up, energizing an object allowing Clank to proceed using up the Zoni in the process. The player sometimes flies the Aphelion through on-rails sections. The Aphelion can move and aim its weapons anywhere on the screen, but is confined to the set path on-rails.
The player is tasked to survive through this section and defeat the boss at the end before proceeding. Along the path, the player should destroy several ships to earn bolts, with larger ships arriving with exposed weak points that can be destroyed to take down the ships.
Asteroids can also be destroyed to earn bolts. During these sections, the player sometimes is given control of Clank, who pilots the turret on the back of the ship, and the player must destroy incoming enemies and projectiles to survive. Once the boss is reached, the player must destroy the boss' weak points to defeat the boss and move on.
Tools of Destruction takes place in the Polaris Galaxy, which is ruled by the cragmite Emperor Tachyon. After leaving planet Kerwan, Ratchet explores several sectors of the galaxy, as well as a few locations in space. The Polaris Galaxy was once home to the lombaxes after they had defeated the cragmites during the Great War , but Tachyon had since drove the lombaxes to near extinction. Abandoned Lombax technology can be found on many planets in the galaxy, such as Fastoon , Sargasso and Rykan V.
Much of it has been found by Max Apogee , a lombax explorer who kept his findings in Apogee Space Station , now home to his daughter Talwyn. Much of the knowledge of the galaxy is contained within the IRIS supercomputer.
Emperor Tachyon controls much of the galaxy, with his drophyd armies defending his own territory and searching the galaxy for lombax technology. There are several planets not ruled by Tachyon, with Igliak as the capital. The galaxy is also home to Space Pirates led by Captain Slag , who attack and loot ships around the galaxy from their hideouts such as Ardolis.
Several planets are also controlled by the kerchu , some of the galaxy's greatest architects but also fierce defenders of their territory and hostile to outsiders. At the start of the game, Ratchet and Clank were on planet Kerwan trying to complete one of Ratchet's new vehicles, the nuclear-powered rocket sled. While Ratchet was assuring him that the vehicle would work fine, Clank received a distress call from Qwark , who was stationed at the Planetary Defense Center. Before Ratchet and Clank arrived at the Defense Center, Metropolis was attacked by an alien race known as the Drophyds , who worked for a villain named Emperor Percival Tachyon , the last of the Cragmites.
The Cragmite Emperor was hunting down Ratchet, who was thought to be the last Lombax in the known universe and the greatest threat to Tachyon's empire. Tachyon tried to make a deal with the duo, stating that if they both surrendered, the Drophyds would leave Metropolis unharmed.
Ratchet and Clank tricked Tachyon; however, and fled into his warship. Having escaped from Kerwan in the warship, Ratchet and Clank were forced into Cryosleep by the ship's autopilot system. Some time later, they crash-landed on planet Cobalia in the Polaris Galaxy.
While unconscious, Clank had a vision where he was flying in a strange city with a group of mysterious robots surrounding him saying, "His past is inside. The duo made their way to a spaceport , where they met the Smuggler.
The Smuggler told them that he would take them off Cobalia if they got the nearby Gelatonium Plant working again. After they agreed, he gave Ratchet the Gelanator. Ratchet and Clank were able to get the plant running again.
The Smuggler gave the ride as promised, but only took them as far as Stratus City on planet Kortog. The Smuggler ejected Ratchet and Clank onto the surface of Stratus City after a lifeform scan detected a Lombax signature on his ship.
After fighting through the city, the Zoni upgraded Clank with the Robo-Wings.
