This video game is a good improvement on the original Rachet & Clank. There are more settings, more challenges, more weapons and more variety. Great fun.

An OK!

When I played Ratchet and Clank I didn't think that they would release a second one (this shows how extremely dumb I am as now the whole of Ps2 Europe is waiting with baited breath for Ratchet and Clank:the next generation)But this game did exceptionally well. This game has been advanced well from the previous game with loads more added bonuses. Such as armour, an modified ship and the best thing ever: upgradeable kickass weapons. They may start off as little tools but play them well and you receive a powerful arsenal of weapons.
Clank is playable in this game again but instead of Gadgebots to control you have Microbots. But as an added bonus to make that little more playable you have a hammer bot, a lifter bot and a bridge bot. (I don't think I need to explain what they do.) These make Clank more fun to play when its his turn to have a little piece of the action.
We all loved the hoverboard last year but now we have the Hoverbike with acts the same but gives a different idea. So this does not disappoint.
The story is funny with loads of twists. You keep on playing because you so want to know what happeneds at the end. You might even chuck your controller at the T.V in frustration because some parts are challenging even though I don't advise you to do so as you WILL end up with a huge bill. I am sure that if you play this game you will enjoy this to the very end.

Funny game

This game was direly renamed in the UK to "Ratchet and Clank 2: Locked and Loaded", but I simply refuse to call it by that. This is a very well put together, humorous game (much like the previous installment) and has tons of neat little things about it and a good element of re-playability. In-jokes, funny dialogue and a few references to other games such as Jak and Daxter give this game a comic edge that keeps you interested. It must be said that the references can only be really appreciated by people that have actually played the games they are spoofing...
The graphics aren't all that different from the last game, in fact it's pretty much the same with a few minor tweaks, but hey, if it ain't broken don't fix it! The idea of you leveling up (like in RPG games) to increase your health was a good move, but even better was the idea to get your weapons to level up to become bigger and better. Other little extras like the arena games, the bike races and the fact that you can import the weapons from the first game make this title all the more enjoyable.
This game is challenging and often frustrating, although not without reward. The ending put me off a little bit - it didn't feel really conclusive enough after all that effort. Take my advice, play the first game before you play this to fully "get it". Then play this. Then get Ratchet and Clank 3 when it comes out.

I found this odd.....

I was searching through the booklet and came across the name "David Kaye," I thought I've seen this name before, so I went here to find out more. After searching Metal Gear Solid and finding out that the Ninja is played by Pinky from Pinky and the Brain and that Liquid Snake was Ryudo in Grandia 2, I searched this game, and there it was: David Kaye as Clank. I clicked on the name and cycled a while to find "Inuyasha" on the list of shows he's been on, I look next to it and it says he's Sesshomaru, I never saw that one coming, same with the Ninja, did anyone else find this odd, or any one else that participated in this game someone you didn't expect?
