Secret Agent Clank

About

Secret Agent Clank lets you play as the robot sidekick turned covert operative in a mission to prove his partner’s innocence. The game swaps the series’ usual action-platforming for stealth-based challenges where you’ll sneak past enemies, hack terminals, and deploy gadgets like grappling hooks and cloaking devices. The story follows Clank as he investigates a conspiracy that’s framed Ratchet for a crime, blending light platforming with puzzle-solving. Humor and quirky dialogue carry over from the main series, though the gameplay shift might feel abrupt for longtime fans. The game’s split-screen mode lets two players take turns, though the focus remains on Clank’s solo antics. While it diverges from the Ratchet & Clank formula, the level design and gadget variety keep things engaging. Reviews at the time noted its charm but acknowledged the stealth mechanics lacked depth compared to other titles in the franchise. Released in 2008, it’s a curious detour from High Impact Games that still feels like a natural extension of the characters.
