This game is pretty good. The graphics are good and gameplay is too. My favorite character in this game is lawrence because he's kinda funny. The game is fun in multiplayer as well. Multiplayer goes up to four players without adapter. I give this gae a 9.9 out of 10.

Online Will Be Awsome

This game is going to be outstanding, many people think its pointless rating a game before it comes out but this game is definetly an exeption. I have the first 2, i beat them both, honestly, the ratchet and clank games are the best ones i ever played, and i dont think there will be anything better than this.

The best yet to come....

This is sure to be the best yet in the Ratchet and Clank series. Not only are they adding a ton of new weapons and vechicles but they are also going online. That is definitely gonna rock!!!!!

LOTS of fun to play, lots of good weapons, interesting puzzles to solve, fun plot. If you can overlook the cartoon violence, there's not much offensive material. Of the four games our family acquired this holiday season, this is by far the best one.

Love It!

I first borrowed the original Ratchet and Clank from a friend. It was a new milestone in video games.

I found this game in Wal-Mart and bought it. It was great. Many of my old favorite weapons like the Suck Cannon, Lancer (I think that's what it was called), Morph-O-Ray and others were reincarnated into familiar forms.

The controls are great. Personally, I prefer the lock-strafe mode; third person camera with first person shooter controls.

The weapons upgrade through usage to provide more power and usability. Unlike in some other games, the order you get a weapon in doesn't necessarily dictate its power--the first weapon you can get, the N60 is one of my favorite and it is the best all-around weapon, in my opinion.

For anyone who has played the first or second game, buying this one is a no-brainer. For someone who hasn't, I recommend you buy all three and play them all.

Some great improvements, some minor shortcomings...

UP YOUR ARSENAL, the third installment of the Ratchet & Clank series of games, is a hands-down safe buy for anyone who has enjoyed the series thus far as well as newcomers (though playing the series in order is highly recommended). Many, many reviews have outlined the game very well - this review will simply highlight some improvements as well as some shortcomings as compared to the first two installments.

IMPROVEMENTS:
1. No unattainable super-weapons. While the RYNO and the like were ultra-fun to wield, they demanded countless hours of bolt collection to attain and simply weren't worth the time and trouble. Instead, UYA follows COMMANDO's lead and offers upgradeable weapons that are actually powerful in their final incarnations and suffice very well.
2. No Hover-Board races. While these were a definite challenge, they had gotten old by the end of COMMANDO. I was extremely pleased to see this type of level absent from this chapter of the game.
3. Interesting variations on vehicle battles. While there are no space battles in Ratchet's spaceship, you do command a hovership and Hummer-like-vehicle, adding a change of pace and new challenge without repeating the same old space-type battles from the previous episodes.
4. New fun mini-games. The Qwark NES-style horizontal action mini-games were a hoot. Not too hard but none too easy, either, they were fun in themselves and I would have loved to see even a few more instances of these throughout the game.
5. Good balance of Clank/Giant-Clank missions. Remember how hard the Giant Clank vs the Flying Saucer was in COMMANDO? We have only one Giant Clank battle in UYA and while it is challenging it is not overly difficult. There are only one or two Clank mini-missions and the servant robots are underused, but too little Clank is better than too much.
6. Only one "Find 100 Crystals" level instead of two. Remember COMMANDO? The desert level was fun. By the time you reached the frozen world, you were sick of searching for crystals. The concept is repeated here but, thankfully, is limited to only one world.

SHORTCOMINGS:
1. Too short. While a fun game, clocking in easily at 10-15 hours of play if all challenges are completed, UYA lacks the breadth of scope and massive sprawl of COMMANDO. That leads to #2...
2. Feels incomplete. This episode has the feel of a title rushed to market. Take for example all of the "gadgets." The new gadget, the Warp Pad, is used only twice in the game and serves no real purpose at all. There are no real challenges requiring any of the gadgets (no grindboots challenges, for example) and very little underwater or ice challenge at all. These two types of world are extremely frequent in these games and always add some nice variance between worlds.
3. Where are the mini-bosses? There is one occurence of a mini-boss early in the game and he is easily defeated. There are no significant challenges prior to the final battle with the arch-enemy and, when it occurs, it almost comes as a surprise that the game is over so soon.
4. The arsenal isn't too exciting. Again, you can import some weapons from the memory cards of previous games, but none that are too useful. There aren't any real exciting new weapons, just variations on old favorites. Those that are new (the Infector and Plasma Whip, for instance) simply aren't any good.
5. Blah online option. The online play is similar to the deathmatches seen in Killzone and SW: Battlefront but don't give you any reason to spend your time on this as opposed to superior online titles such as those.

All in all, a great game, definitely worth addition to your library, but not a groundbreaking new chapter. Those who love the series will enjoy this. Those new to the series should not hesitate to give it a try but will be best served by picking up all three titles and playing them in sequence.
