The third installment in Insomniacs Ratchet and Clank series. Up your Arsenal is what you get when you add more outrageous weapons, more crazy characters, another weird storyline, humor and just about everything a game needs to be. This time around Ratchet and Clank are on a mission to stop Dr. Nefarious from turning all organic life forms into robots.
Now to start this game is pure fun. There are tons of weapons, 20 new weapons plus some bonus weapons from the previous Ratchet and Clank weapons. Each weapon also is upgradeable 5 times, and at the 5th and final upgrade the weapon takes on a whole new look and name. So if you want to be technical there are actually a total of 40 something o weapon. Like before there are also armor upgrades as well. I could go on about a lot of things here. But the truth is that if you've played the previous Ratchet and Clank games than you know what this one is about. In case you don't know R&C is about: weapons, explosions, tons of enemies, good platforming and just plain fun.
I suppose the only downside is that one could argue that this is just an "expansion pack" of the last title (Going Commando). In some ways I could see that. But let me say this there is no expansion pack then this good. Another downside is the missing space battles in your ship. That was a very fun part of the previous game, Going Commando, and they are sorely missed here.
All in all Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal is an awesome quality games. Tons of weapons and gear, destructible environments, good humor, good platforming, great camera, fun levels. There are a lot of good things to say about this game. The only downside is that some people may find that whole been there done that feel to it and some features from the last game are missed. Other than that this game is one of the best for the PS2
