Gameplay[]
This game features Cappy, Rodney Copperbottom, Fender Pinwheeler and Piper Pinwheeler as the playable main character. The player can also play as the Wonderbot in certain areas, with partner Phineas T. Ratchet, Lydia Copperbottom, Herb Copperbottom, and Bigweld in the chase scene.
Rodney can invent different devices by collecting a certain number of blueprints scattered throughout the environment. In the beginning of the game, he repairs his Wonderbot, his personal companion. He also obtains the Scrap Launcher from Lydia Copperbottom and Herb Copperbottom, a weapon which uses Scrap as ammo which is found in the worlds of the game, and a wrench which is used as a melee weapon. More weapons are acquired throughout the course of the game. Scrap is also used to purchase items at vendors, including the Maxi-Scrap 500 and Maxi-Scrap 1000 which upgrades his Scrap capacity from 200 to 500 and 1000 respectively, the Refine-O-Max which doubles the value of Scrap, and four mutually exclusive upgrades to his Scrap Launcher which can be replaced at any time.
Later while in Robot City he obtains the Magnabeam from Jack Hammer, which uses energy which must be refilled by going on recharge circles, and can also be used as a weapon.
The PlayStation 2 version of the game runs at 30 FPS in some areas due to the limited power of the hardware compared to the other two consoles and PC, which run at 60 FPS in more areas.
