Ratchet & Clank: Full Frontal Assault (known as Ratchet & Clank: QForce in PAL and Japan countries) is a 2012 platform game developed by Insomniac Games for the PlayStation Network and published by Sony. Like the previous downloadable game in the series, Ratchet & Clank Future: Quest for Booty, in Europe, as well as the United States for this time, it was released on Blu-ray Disc as well as the PlayStation Store. It was produced in commemoration of the 10th anniversary of the Ratchet & Clank series. It is available on the PlayStation 3 with the PlayStation Vita version delayed for a May 21, 2013 release and available for free with the PlayStation 3 version. It is a spin-off from the series.
The game received mostly average reviews from critics. It was criticised for its short length, lack of a proper story, the new tower defense element (which greatly contributed to the game's already brutal difficulty), lackluster campaign experience and severe deviations from previous games in the series, with many calling it the worst game in the series. However, it did receive praise for its soundtrack, multiplayer mode and replay value.
Full Frontal Assault uses the camera angles, weapons and third-person Ratchet gameplay used in previous versions, while adding a new tower defense element. It features five levels set on three different planets. The game allows players to play as Ratchet, Clank (in either his Giant Clank or normal forms), or Captain Qwark. This title also features the ability for co-op play, both on and offline.
Former president Captain Qwark is on the Starship Phoenix II with Ratchet and Clank complaining of boredom at how there's nothing to shoot in the Private Sector. In an attempt to entertain Qwark, Clank suggests that there are some "rogue" cleaner bots in the engine room. After destroying the robots they're summoned to the bridge where a transmission from an enemy of Qwark comes in, explaining that several Planetary Defense Centers are going to be taken by Grungarian Marauders. In response to this threat Qwark reassembles the Q-Force.
