The young Ratchet harbours dreams of striking out on a big adventure. Stranded on a forgotten planet, he longs to put his technical know-how to good use and mentally pictures himself engaging in all kinds of hare-brained schemes. But judgement day comes quicker than he imagines when a ship is shot down near his home carrying a curious robot dissident. It turns out that Clank, a diminutive robot with a social conscience, has uncovered a plan by the ruler of Belchworld, Chairman Drek, to build the ultimate planet - comprising the best bits of other planets in the galaxy, regardless of what the residents of these planets think! All Ratchet's birthdays have come at once - fate has brought the duo together and it's up to Ratchet & Clank to stop Chairman Drek in his inter-galactic tracks.
