Ratchet & Clank: Full Frontal Assault (known as Ratchet & Clank: QForce in Europe and Australia) is an action game with tower defense and platform elements released as a 10th anniversary celebratory installment to the Ratchet & Clank series. It was released on November 27, 2012. It is a downloadable PlayStation Network title on the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita and it is also available on Blu-ray Disc for PlayStation 3 only. It is a shorter adventure but features online and offline two player co-operative mode and online competitive multiplayer, as well as a significantly higher replay value than the previous short adventure, Quest for Booty. The game returns to the typical Ratchet & Clank classic control style with a third-person camera, but also features a twist on tower-defense gameplay. The game is the second spin-off game created by Insomniac Games.
The game was developed by Insomniac Games North Carolina studio and the PlayStation Vita compatibility was created in collaboration with Tin Giant.

"Maximum framerate with the patch is half the Vblank frequency.\n\nIncreasing the framerate causes the cutscene before levels to be black, but it can still be waited out, or skipped with Start+Cross."
