THE DEFINITIVE VERSION™ OF
RATCHET & CLANK
One of my first jumps into modern platforming. Ratchet and Clank was tough to put down as new and unique weapons were constantly dangled just in front of my nose. A cast of archetypical but lovable characters has kept players coming back to the series for every sequel, remake, and remaster for over a decade at this point.

The Definitive Version of Ratchet and Clank can be found on the Ratchet and Clank Collection on Playstation 3. One of the things that this updated version of the original game has to offer is the optional stereoscopic 3D support. While the graphics were not as updated as you might expect they stayed very true to the original, as opposed to the later releases, which look noticeably altered. The increased frame rate, and faithful story make the Playstation 3 release of Ratchet and Clank the best way to play and therefore it is the Definitive Version.
