Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal
 
I can't wait to get this game! I couldn't get it when it came out on November 2, so I have to wait until Christmas. It has gotten great reviews from everyone!! It looks awesome!! I heard mixed reviews about the online game play, however.

Hmm... I know this game has stolen its name from somewhere, I just can't remember where...

My Brother will with out a doubt, get Ratcher & Clank 3 for Christmas. I seem to get all the Jak's and he gets all of the Ratchet's. It looks purdy, but I don't know if it will be anything stunning in the way of originality. I do hope it is very original, as I wouldn't want to see the same old thing again, especially with such a great game franchise.

Hey, If you can't wait to get it, go to the Insominaic Games website, www.insominaicgames.com, R&C Rulez!

Rented it and completed it .

*Slight Spoilers . Nothing too big*

Sheepinator is gone . Now you get the Qwack-O-Ray . More deadly . And now ALL weapons have 5 upgrades .

But the sheepinator is on online, isn't it? Oh, and I've been to Insomniac's website. It was redone not too long ago and it rocks!!!

I like the Jak series more. I think Ratchet and Clank is a little repetitive

Alcar 11-24-2004 04:08 PM

Oooo, last time I checked the Insomniac Games website, they had the original design. This one looks way cooler, and they even have new and better sections - especially the community section.

Can't wait to get my hands on the game! (After my brother though! :p)

Personally, Ratchet and Clank makes me dizzy, I tried to play it when I was with Biggy Bro Slig filming Joe & Gramps, but I nearly fainted, the graphics are just so real.

That's the annoying thing about games coming out at Christmas, you can't buy them incase you gettem for Christmas, but whenever you do buy em', you get it for Christmas, and whenever you don't, you never get it

This rachet game sounds good from reviews (and i will hopefully get it :p)

I don't know if I would call this one "original" because you basically do the same things that you do in the first two--get cool weapons and blow the crap out of stuff. But it sure is fun to do those things! One thing I like about this franchise is the originality that is put into the weapons, I mean come on! Where else will you find a gun that can turn enemies into ducks?!

I was afraid someone would say that. I didn't like Ratchet & Clank 2 nearly as much as I liked the first installment. Insomniac are great at producing games, but they seem to crumble a bit when building upon an established franchise.

Though blowing shit up is fun ;)

Yeah, I agree w/ you on the fact that R&C: GC was not as good as the first one. It felt like the originality of it was lost and the humor was forced. Although I still enjoyed the game, it just didn't have that same type of magic as the original one did.

Biggy Bro Slig 12-12-2004 05:44 AM

Yeah I thought Locked & Loaded (Europe Version of GC) lost it's funnieness a bit, but hopefully it comes back in 3 :)

Am I the only one who gets the joke in the name?

Lol, no :p

The previous Ratchet & Clank was named "Going Commando" in Australia. Those whacky Insomnians must be having a right laugh about the humour in their game's names :p

Ha ha! Nope. The titles have double meanings. While I thought Going Commando was a pretty humorous title, there's just something about Up Your Arsenal that gets me really cracked up! :D ;)

Read that sentence again and tell me you said "cracked up" on purpose. :D

odd chick 12-12-2004 07:06 PM

I sure did! I put a double meaning into my comment, just like Insomniac does with their game titles! Ha ha! *thinks-hmmm, that could be a good title if there is a R&C4-R&C: Cracked Up. Ha!! I kill myself sometimes!* :D And BBS, don't worry about it being funny. From what I've heard about UYA, it is the funniest one out of the three games!
