known as Ratchet: Gladiator in Europe, Australia and New Zealand, is a platform/shooter video game developed by Insomniac Games and published by Sony. It is the fourth game in the Ratchet & Clank series and is the sequel to Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal. It was released on October 25, 2005 in North America. The game includes many of the same pieces of gameplay as Up Your Arsenal, such as online games with nine other people (ten people max to a game). New modes and attributes include co-op gameplay in single player mode (better named, "story mode" now) and newer, more devastating vehicles. Also, the game includes a vastly more RPG style in the form of custom armor and weapons (through the use of "mods"), although this does not mean the game is anything like an RPG. It is still a third/first person shooter at heart.

Secrets
Free Ammo Go to any Boss Battle and play it. When you start, the game will automatically reload all of your weapon's ammo. Exit the challenge and your ammo on all of your weapons will be reloaded for free. This way you do not have to spend your bolts on ammo.
Massive Weapon Experience & Bolts After gaining access to the Battledome Challenge "Endzone", use the Holoshield Launcher and/or Mini-Turret Launcher with Shock Mod equipped. After setting up the shields and turrets, equip whatever weapon you want to upgrade, making sure you have the Shock mod equipped. Complete the challenge and repeat until you upgrade your weapons to the desired level. After being able to buy Experience/Jackpot Mods, max out the alphamods on the weapon of your choice to rapidly get to lvl 99 weapons and/or make millions of Bolts.
