Content review for this game:
Pertaining to content listed in the upper left corner of this site.


Crude Humor: In an early scene, there is a spoof-like program on the tv called "Nature's Mysteries," and is like a documentary on Big Foot; one backwater hillbilly states, "He was buck naked and holding a banana...or maybe it wasn't a banana...it could be..."

In another scene a father tells Ratchet (the main character) that his daughter says the main character is good with his hands. Ratchet then starts to say, "Oh, no sir! I swear! That's not..." But then realises that's not what the father meant (as a side note there is nothing going on between him/her).

In a brief scene, after Ratchet defeats a boss, Qwark (another main character) comes in and steps on one of the dead monster's many eyes, resulting in the squished eye excreeting a green goo/liquid, but it's pretty cartoony and very brief.

One scene depicts Quark arguing with a monkey. You hear him say, "It was mating season, how was I suppose to know she was your sister?!" (Quark was raised by monkeys). Later, while looking for Qwark (who has gone missing), Ratchet and Clank come upon Qwark's crashed, abandoned spaceship. Clank finds something in his ship and then says, "We must have just missed him. This pocket Crotchitizer is still warm." Ratchet responds with, "EWW! (No one quite knows what the Crotchitizer does).

One of the game's levels places you in a giant sewer, with the main enemy being the Amoeboids. These creatures pretty much resemble a large goopey, green mass of snot, and act as such when you destroy them. You can also collect sewer crystal from giant King Amoeboids, which you can then trade to a side character for bolts (the game's currency). After receiving them, he'll say, "Mmm...fresh from the bowels of a King Amoeboid!"

When the main villian, Dr. Nefarious, gets too angry, he short circuits, and then completely freezes up. An audio recording then proceedes to play from his head; it seems to be a soap opera couple making out. Here is an example of the kind of things they say: Janice (name of woman): "Oh, Lance, I can't, it's not right, you're my cousin's uncle's son!" Later in the game another scene apparently continues the conversation: Lance: "That's what makes it so good Janice! Feel it! My heart pounding like an anvil!"

There is a side character in this game called "Courtney Gears," a pop singer/dancer (ring any bells?). Anyway, in one scene, they show one of her music videos, where she dances somewhat provocatively. However, she's just a robot. Later, another scene depicts Courtney Gears kidnapping a side character, and proceeds to strap him into a chair. He then says, "Like, wow, Courtney, I didn't know you where this kinky!" But she replies, "Do you ever shutup!?"


Fantasy violence: (This is the third game in the series) While watching tv, Ratchet (the main character, who resembles a cat, with ears similar to the Star Wars character, Yoda) and Clank (his side-kick: a small robot with a personality/appearance that falls somewhere between C3PO and R2-D2 from Star Wars) tune into a news report about the Tyhrranoids (main villain's lackys), who are attacking Ratchet's home planet of Veldin. After remeding the situation there, they find out this is part of a bigger more insidous plot. The main villain, Dr. Nefarious (who was once humanoid), is planning to use his Biobliterator to turn every organic being in the galaxy into robots. Time to stop this madness...

The story itself is full of silly, slapstick, sarcastic, and clever humor, with many spoof-like documentaries for Qwark story like, "[Qwark's real life story has been] Meticulously reconstructed by our crack team of researchers, with the aid of eyewitness accounts, bathroom gossip, wild speculation, and a magic 8-ball." Or a later scene, "With great reluctance, Qwark accepted his meager fee (of about 100,000,000,000,000 dollars) for his services, and promptly donated the entire sum to the 'Qwark for tots scholarship fund,' a charity providing makeovers, and buxom bimbos for needy people named Qwark." There are also a few spoof-like commercials for Annihilation Nation (that acts as the game's arena), and shows small, wimpy, creatures trying to compete in the games, and failing miserably. So in other words, it is sarcastic and a bit over-the-top, but pretty harmless, cartoony, and all done in a fun, light tone.
