Ratchet: Gladiator takes the series in a fresh new direction, with an action-focused adventure that introduces us to a very different look for the Lombax hero. This time, Ratchet and his faithful robot companion Clank are forced to compete in underground reality battle show DreadZone.                                                   'More' is definitely the keyword here, with more vehicles to commandeer, more enemies to annihilate, and many more customisable weapon modifications. A new-look Ratchet complements a change in pace for the series, with explosive, squad-based combat across a variety of vast arenas replacing the more cutesy platforming and blasting action of old. Of course, the great humour that made the series such a huge hit is still present and correct, albeit with a slightly more acerbic, satirical bite.
