Sony Computer Entertainment America Inc. announced today the release of Ratchet & Clank(R): Size Matters, an all-new sci-fi adventure designed exclusively for the PSP(R)
(PlayStation(R)Portable) system. Developed by High Impact Games, Ratchet and
Clank make their PSP debut in the latest installment in the multimillion-selling series. Returning to the franchise’s roots with classic Ratchet & Clank gameplay, Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters features everything fans have come to expect from the series with explosive weaponry, an immersive storyline and action-packed online gaming.

“We are excited to be bringing one of the most successful franchises on
the PlayStation 2 to the PSP and provide millions of PlayStation fans with a
high quality, on-the-go Ratchet & Clank experience,” said Frank Simon,
producer, product development, Sony Computer Entertainment America. “Although
Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters is completely new, it stays true to what has
made the franchise a huge success — the unique weapons, humor, characters,
style and engaging storyline.”

Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters takes place after the events of Ratchet:
Deadlocked(TM) where players will find Ratchet and Clank taking a much needed
vacation. While relaxing, they are approached by a young girl named Luna, who
is working on a school report on heroes. Soon afterwards, Luna is kidnapped by
a group of mysterious robots. Ratchet and Clank set out to rescue her only to
discover a much bigger galactic adventure than they’d anticipated.

Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters raises the bar on portable gaming by
delivering a console-like experience on a handheld system, with smooth
controls, visually-stunning graphics and all-new vibrant worlds specifically
designed for the PSP. Building on the franchise’s reputation for innovative
weaponry, High Impact Games utilizes the power of the PSP to deliver explosive
destruction-wielding weapons made famous in previous Ratchet & Clank games.
In addition to new weapons and gadgets, including the Bee Mine Glove, Acid
Bomb, Laser Tracer and Sprout-o-Matic, Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters
reintroduces fan favorites such as the Blitz Cannon, Agents of Doom and Shrink
Ray.

Ratchet’s brainy robotic sidekick, Clank, is back as a playable character
with all-new gameplay. When taking on the role of Clank, players will be able
to control the gadgebots, pilot super-sized robotic torsos and engage in space
combat missions as Giant Clank. For those looking for a challenge outside of
the single-player adventure, Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters features intense,
fast-paced multiplayer wireless gaming. Supporting both Ad-hoc and
Infrastructure play, up to four players will have the option to start a game
with their friends nearby, or take on other gamers around the country.
Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters incorporates several of the classic multiplayer
modes such as Death Match, Team Death Match, Capture the Flag, as well as a
new unconventional mode called Iron Lombax. Iron Lombax is an objective-based
mode where players are teamed-up to complete different tasks before their
opponents.

Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters is receiving full marketing support in the
following categories to extend consumer awareness for the franchise’s debut on
the PSP.
