Ruff Trigger: The Vanocore Conspiracy is a video game for the PlayStation 2. The player takes on the role of Ruff Trigger, a bounty hunter sent to rescue tiny creatures known as "piglots". A whole shipment of them has crashed on a foreign planet, sending them all over the place. You can use different weapons to destroy numerous mechanical enemies that face you on the planet as you rescue the piglots. Other gameplay mechanics include driving sequences, explosive piglots, and a werewolf form that Ruff transforms into when he drinks a substance known as 'Vanocore Power Drink'.
Despite the game's often-praised budget price, it was often criticised by game reviewers for its derivative gameplay, taking elements from such games as Pikmin, Jak and Daxter, and (most notably) the Ratchet and Clank series.
