according to an interview, not much was cut but that (according to insomniac) "interestingly, we really didn't cut anything except for a few weapons and gadgets that just weren't fun when we prototyped them. there was the revolverator – a drill gun which would spin enemies around once ratchet impaled them and the mackerel 1000 – basically a fish that took the place of the wrench. both of these got cut because they were either too hard to use or just didn't add anything to the game."
