Great Game, Shorter than "Commando"

Let me say as a married, 24 yr. old gamer, that I don't have allot of time to be a gamer anymore. I have responcibilities, a career, and a family, so when I actually get time to play games, I want to enjoy it.

R@C, has been uterly enjoyable! This game is one of those that you plan on playing for a few minutes, or maybe an hour, and you wind up playing for 3-4 hours without even realizing it!

The only kicker is that, this game had allot less content than "Commando". Don't get me wrong, I love this game, but it just seems that you can get everything in about a weekend of gaming. Its just not that hard, compared to "Commando".

Don't get me wrong, I can't wait till the next installment comes out, I just hope that the developers don't rush through it this time around.

4 out of 5 for the shortened content.

An Above Average Game

For anyone who needs a little time away from the first person shooters or the online roleplaying games; and feel like something a little different, then this is a game that many can enjoy. From the game dynamics to the well written plot line, it just all seems to work together and compliments itself over and over again. Quality like this in the gaming world seems to be falling short lately. The guns used are all individual and have a different feel for each of them. For some gamers, the light and airy feel of this game might set them astray. But for the rest of us, Ratchet and Clank Up Your Arsenal proves once and for all that in this monogomy of sequals, that it can be done properly with a little effort.

Absolutely one of the best....

I am over forty and have been playing video games ever since...well, "Space Invaders"! Needless to say I have witnessed the evolution. This is the best game I have ever played and I have played many. What's even better is that my 9 year old son's love it too (their favorite part is turning me into a duck in multiplayer mode...oooh! I hate that). I am sure in a year or two something more thrilling will come along and "Up your Arsenal" will seem old, but for the time being, this one is best!

Perfect is all I can say..

Assuming that the third game would be similar as the second installment of the Ratchet and Clank series, I bought it just becuase i haven't played Ratchet and clank since the first game
As soon as the first mission started with Ratchet jumping out along with the "Galactic Rangers", it made my jaws drop. Everything changed. The combat was more intense than the first two series and WOW even using one weapon(shock cannon) was fun.
i can't decribe how much I enjoyed this game. Multiplayer was a nice addition to the game. You can play either online or offline with different types of game, such as Capture the flag, and the siege. Offline was only fun if you had 4 people playing, but going online wasn't disappointing. Each game supported up to 8 players, and you can even have 2 local players playing online(which means you and your buddy can go online against other people). Although the ranking system is little buggy i still enjoyed my ranking go up each day. So in conclusion, i think R&C:UYA is a must buy for the fans of the previous series and people who is looking for a great single player shooter but also has online capability that will last them couple of months. I could say other great things in this game, but im getting tired.. Thanks for reading this review

Best entry in the Ratchet and Clank series.

Ratchet and Clank has been a mainstay of the Playstation 2 lineup, and the series just keeps getting better. The latest installment, Up Your Arsenal, is the best and is major fun.

Graphically, the game has really progressed. It looks absolutely spectacular and the entire game feels very polished. Similarly, the music and sound effects remain top notch. The framerate is always smooth, and I've never experienced any slowdown, even when there are tons of explosions on screen at once.

Gameplay wise, the series hasn't changed a lot, but it's excellent. There is still the single player filled to the brim with Ratchet and Clank humor and a fun if predictable storyline. Not to mention that Captain Qwark is back! The single player is about as long as Going Commando, but it's much better because of new environments, more polish, better weapons and challenges and some nice little 2D side-scrolling in between. They've even gotten rid of those frusturating space fighting scenes and mandatory races. Overall, the single player is great.

Where the game really shines is in multiplayer. There are 3 multiplayer modes, capture the flag, siege, and deathmatch. The best is by far siege, where teams work together to destroy the other teams base using vehicles, weaponry and by capturing nodes located throughout the map. The maps aren't huge, but they are very well desgined for each of the modes. I only wish they had included more vehicles since the game only has 2 currently, and isn't completely suited for them like in say, Halo 2. The multiplayer can be played splitscreen or online. The splitscreen really pales compared to online play though. Part of the screen shows the nodes that are captured, and so you're limited to only about 40% of the screen, and it's considerably harder to play that way. Full screen online play is much more robust and allows for up to 8 players per match while standard PS2 allows for only 2 without a multitap. Online Play is virtually lag free, and you can find plenty of games. Plus it's free, and it really provides an excellent online experience considering the PS2's overall lack of quality online games (besides SOCOM and this game that is) I highly recommend getting a USB headset, because it's impossible to coordinate with teammates without it, and I've even gotten kicked out of games for not having it. Be warned, the game requires Broadband to play online (as in DSL or a Cable Connection.)

Overall, Up Your Arsenal is great. It looks great and plays great whether in single or multiplayer (but avoid the splitscreen if you can.) Should you purchase it? If you have a broadband connection and maybe a headset, and can play online, then I'd wholeheartedly recommend it. But if you don't and are only in it for single player, then I would recommend renting it unless it drops down to $20. Splitscreen multiplayer is only fun for so long, and some might not be able to stomach it.

Awseome!!!!!!

This is a very awesome game! A must have for fans of shooters and platformers. The game is complete with upgradeable weapons, armor, epic battles, and a comedic and intriguing story line. One of the most well liked features of this series is the light-hearted feel to it. Even when the mad scientist is about to destroy your home, you can still get a laugh or two! Fans of weapon play will love the broad weapons range of Up Your Arsenal. There are well over 20 weapons that you can level up 8 times, to get the extremely powerful omega version.

And I've yet to mention the best new addition to the series! ONLINE PLAY! Now you, or you and a friend, can play online in an 8 player match of guns and vehicles. There are three fun-filled modes and 2 cool vehicles- the turboslider and a hovership for bombing from above! The USB keyboard and headset are combatable with this game.(...)

Most addicting game ever!!!

Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal may be, wait, is the greatest video game every created. The folks over at Insomniac with their 3rd installment of the Ratchet and Clank series went above and beyond. The storyline is intriguing and exciting while in single player mode, and the game doesn't stop there. With over 50 different weapon combinations to choose from the game will never get boring. Ratchet and Clank UYA takes the series one step farther by providing an online mode. While playing online, there are options to play three different types of games: Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, and Siege. With all of the different features in single player mode and now the online mode of Ratchet and Clank, this game is a must have for any true video game lover.

The Ratchet and Clank series is simply an amazing series. This one however, beats both the first and second one three fold. Not only is there now multiplayer, but there's online mode which is so fun to play. I've played the game at least 8 times through and the storyline is still as funny as the first time I played. The weapons are awesome ranging from a simple Blaster type gun to a gun that shoots 4 missiles at a time to a gun that shoots out Black Holes. Each gun can even be upgraded from Version one to Version 5 and then Version 6 to Version 8 (only in Challenge mode in which you must beat the game once through before you can play Challenge). The enemies are even tougher and the characters are hilarious. The online play is awesome mostly because you can communicate with your teammates. Theres even three different modes of gameplay in online mode.

I strongly suggest any fan of action games and anyone with a good sense of humor should buy the entire series.

In my opinion, I think this game was a very impressive game. First off, exploration here is pretty good. The levels were somewhat massive, awesome graphics, pretty unique guns, everything what a person who likes Adventure/Shooter games would dream of. The bosses have resonable difficulty, awesome vehicles, weird skill points, and much more. This game is pretty vital to all avid gamers's collections, or just another awesome game to be with all your others smash hits. Overall, this game manages to pull off what any gamer would expect from a Insomniac Game, and amazes, and impresses everyone, everywhere.
