Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando

"Ratchet & Clank: Going off the Shelfs!"

If you want a good action/adventure game that is so thrilling that you just cant stop playing it, then you found the right game. This game is amazing and it just has so many things to do that you cant put your controller down. The thing that makes this game so fun is the gameplay itself, because it is the perfect view and it is long lasting fun!

The characters in this game were very well made and it is so fun to control them. There are two characters that you are in the game. Most of the time your Ratchet, but every once in a while you get to be Clank, even Giant Clank! Each characters have their own weapons and ''moves'' that are just for them. One of the things that I really liked about this game was the ''Giant Clank.'' This character is clank except the fact that he is 1000 times his size! It is so fun to play mini-games with him and and it is great to even play with little Clank. The character that is the best though, is ratchet. He can do so many things and it is great to play as him. One move that will save you when your in danger is the double jump move, first you jump then you jump again in mid-air!

The one thing that makes this game topple over competition is the weapons. This is practically the best part of the game. The first thing you do is buy weapons, and to buy weapons you need bolts. The bolts are earned by destroying monsters, random posts, lamps, and boxes around in your environment. You will always have a wrench that you may slash or throw and in the beginning of the game you start off with a gung called a lancer, which is like a plasma machine gun. Once you start to obtain bolts from killing and destroying things you can buy weapons.

Buying weapons is one of the best parts of the game because there is so many to choose from. There are about 20 different weapons and a few are from the last game! Some weapons that are returning from the first game are the Tesla claw (my favorite), the decoy glove, the Visabomb and many others. The weapons are usually more powerful if they cost more, and weapons can get pretty powerful in this game! The weapons you can get are so good that they can even upgrade several times making them super weapons! The weapon upgrades is one of my favorite parts of playing this game and if you buy this game I think it will be your favorite too!

When you have a weapon it is possible that you can upgrade it to a better weapon. To upgrade a weapon you must use it often, and a bar will show how close you are to upgrading. Once a weapon is upgrades it will be more powerful, it will get bigger, look cooler, and it even might have some new features! Almost all of the weapons are able to upgrade but some have exceptions such as really powerful weapons. For all those who played the previous ratchet and clank I have good news: the rhino is back! This time is really cool and better than before and to find out more, you should buy the game!

The story line is pretty cool, but I think they could have made it better. Mostly the game's story line is about an evil villain who is distributing these protopets to destroy the universe. It sounds corny but it is better in the game. The whole story is basically you have to stop this evil villain or he could take over your town and your family, which that means you will pretty much have to be the hero, and save the world just like all the other games.

The sound in this game is amazing; it is great I think that it is one of the best parts of the game. Basically for everything, I mean every little detail there was a perfect sound. When things broke it sounded so real, it made me feel like I was actually in that unreal world.

One other thing that you have to notice is that this game has simply phenomenal graphics and great action graphics to. When someone gets hit they fly back from the blast keep their same form not getting distorted as they fall. The graphics are really what brings this game alive and I think that is really cool that they spent so much time on this subject while creating this game.

This is a great game to buy and I think it is still fun to play at the date today, even though I got it when it first came out. This game is worth buying and If you think it’s not good then rent it, definitely you will see that this game is great.
