I'm a HUGE huge fan of Ratchet and Clank. As soon as Going Commando game out we grabbed a copy - and have been playing it non-stop ever since! Talk about a great sequel!

The plot and gameplay is similar to the first game - you're going from planet to planet, bashing things, gathering up nuts and bolts and finding some INCREDIBLY fun weapons along the way. Even better, if you still have your memory card from the first game, you get to bring in many weapons from that for free.

If you didn't play Ratchet & Clank I, I *really* recommend you get it! It should be super-cheap by now and is great fun. It's not required to understand this second game, though.

This game is almost like 20 games in one. There are pod-racing like portions where you challenge on faster and faster tracks. There are gladiator arena fighting where you test your strength and endurance. There are spaceship flying sections like Wing Commander where you fly through asteroids and around corners. There are button-combos and logic puzzles and really funny video clips.

There are the skill points that you have to guess at and then execute. Each weapon upgrades to a new super version of itself. You really feel like you're making progress as you move through the game, becoming stronger and further along in the plot. Going back to planets is great fun, too, as you find ways to use your new weapons in fun ways.

The game is also great on an entire-family sort of way. There's a lot of fun puns that will go right over the heads of the kids, but in general the game can be great fun for everyone. The kids can hand the controller to the adults if they get stuck, and the adults will have just as much fun as the kids did (and may not give the controller back for a while).

There's always something fun to do, and if you want a change from what you're doing, just hop into one of the mini-games for a whole different experience. The game can literally go on forever. Highly, highly recommended as a must-have for any PS2!

5.0 out of 5 stars Insomniac has out done themselves!!, October 23, 2003

In todays age of gaming having games w/tons of blood, gore, guns and foul language, it's wonderful to have Insomniac Games make a game that, although rated a T, kids under the age of 10 can play. Yes, it has guns, but they're more the ACME sort from Looney Tunes compared to the realistic sounding guns in Jak II. And, you're shooting aliens/robots, not real people like in Jak II and other games. Ratchet and Clank 2 is bigger all the way around... more weapons/gadgets, bigger levels, more things to do than even the first Ratchet and Clank. I've played the first game COUNTLESS times and I know I will Ratchet and Clank 2. I highly recommend it as a game for the whole family and I have a 6 year old son who plays it too. I can let him play and not worry that he's going to want to go out and shoot someone. It's not the type of game to have to worry about what bad habit your child is going to pick up from it. Thank you Insomniac Games!!

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Ratchet & Clank Going Commando (Video Game)

i really love rachet and clank going commando. god the weapons are so much cooler than in the first. youll have tons of awesome weapons at your disposal. theres the lancer- deadly automatic rifal. the blitz gun- powerful shooter. the minirocket tube- big gun that shoots rockets. the bouncer- shoots corkscrew rocks than explode in a small eruption of flames. the ryno 2- unbelivabely hardcore power gun with several holes for bulletshooting a powerhouse of a gun costs 1000000 bolts. all the weapons you carry can be completely upgraded. so use your weapon a lot and it will change to a more powerful form of that weapon. rachet gets bigger and stronger as he fights bad guys as well and his health increases. and the weapons arent the only thing that can be upgraded your ship can be too. youll get to choose diffrent colors and designs for your ship. oh and rachet can now purchase armor. excellent game with excellent weapons. use your wrench a lot and that can also be upgraded. the weapons are simply so shar looking satisfying and fun to use youll wonder why you liked the first games weapons.
