Australian Gamer Review: Secret Agent Clank

Australian Gamer writes: "The life of a sidekick is nothing glamorous, we all know that. A sidekick is usually smaller, weaker, less brave than the hero and more often than not, less intelligent. While the hero bravely risks his life to ensure the safety of the world, a sidekick usually cowers in the corner, occasionally muttering some inane banter.

No, that's not a euphemism, it's long been the resting place of Clank, one half of Insomniac's best selling Ratchet and Clank series.

However, Clank has finally had enough sense in that massive robotic brain of his to expand his horizons in his first leading role in Secret Agent Clank, Ratchet and Clank's second foray into the Playstation Portable. So, does this game Get Smart and deliver, or is it doomed to Die Another Day?"
