This game is very underappreciated by the people who claim it is just another platformer. I almost believed it too but after reading the reviews I decided on buying it. This is one of the greatest games of all time. The story mode is imaginative and the online mode is the most fun you'll ever have online with a playstation 2. Buy this game and see what you've been missing!!!
The Best Game You'll Ever Play...Until the next one!

This game is awsome it is a must buy if you have a PS2! This game has so much in it! Its a million times better then the other two ratchet games! And thats saying something because those other two Games were awsome!! The guns in these games just keep getting better and better! The storyline is funny and makes you want to watch the inbetween level movies that you would normaly skip in other games. And get this! The game has online!! Oh Yeah! you heard me u can play this game online with other people so the game never gets old...and as for bad language that the other review talked about there is zero bad langauge in this game...at one point someone is about to cus but is interupted by ratchet. There is no profanity in this game and People of all ages will love this game. Even adults! This game has 20 different weapons to choose from and is a great game! There is also a cool website for help with this games single player and online play its RCArsenal.com its a great site and will help you consideralbly with your gaming.

First things first... when you get this game go into the options menu and change your controls to LOCK-STRAFE MODE. If anyone else had their hands contorted in strange ways to use the sheepinator effectively during the impossible challenge in Going Commando, then you know what I'm talking about.
Now that we have that out of the way, if you missed the suck cannon in the second one, it's back; if you were disappointed at the effectiveness of the returning weapons in the second one, you won't be in this one; if you were a fan of the hologuise from the first one (you have problems), it's back and a lot more fun; if you really loved the racing in the second one and can't wait to try out the new tracks in the third one STOP RIGHT NOW... sorry to disappoint but no racing in UYA. I'll make you a deal though because I bet you'll love the Vidcomics even more.
Who would have thought that the first stab at an online portion of the game could have created such a solid experience? Seriously, it is virtually flawless. CTF, assault, deathmatch, cool weapons (some throwbacks) that you can upgrade, buddy up in vehicles, capture nodes... just good plain fun.
Story? awesome... although I would recommend if you haven't played through the first 2 that you do that first, but I'm sure that goes without saying.
For the sake of all that's holy, play through a second time; The RY3NO is so much better than the RYNO II.
Can't wait for Deadlocked...

Of all the cool games ive played this has to be one of the coolest. Not only is the single player good but the online is awesome. You can play with your friend down the street or something or have loads of fun upgrading weapons in single player.
RATCHET AND CLANK~!

This game has a great story with gr8 mini-games action and puzzles. The diverse arsenal (as the name implies) is enough to cause massive mayhem to exterminate the tyranoids and dr. nefarious. All though the game is intended for teens and older, there are still kids that play and are really good. The online is where the fun is meant to be. With 8 different weapons and equipped with a wrench for default the many different choices to play are team deathmatch, deathmatch, ctf, and siege which is like a seek and destroy. If you like cartoonish arcade style shooters or u just want to have fun I recomend Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal

I have just recently gotten a PS2 and I've been renting R and C gmaes for the past few weeks. I first got GC and now I've rented UYA. UYA has gotten me hooked on it for the last week now, and I've been playing for hours each day, getting one step closer to getting every Titanium Bolt, or enoguh money for a RY3NO or something along the lines of that. The game itself is very funny, so this isn't one of those first person shooters with everything in chaos and there's nothing funny about it. No, this game has quite a few funny things about it, although I've heard from past reviews that they relate to pop culture events. I've actually only gotten one or two of the jokes, but they are pretty funny. GC on the other hand holds just plain funny jokes that you don't need to know alot to get. The only reason I'm telling you about this is since I take my funny seriously. Probably my favorite thing about this game though is either the wide variety of weapons, or that there are so many unique things about the game. What I'm trying to say is yu don't just go run around blowing stuff up (Although you do that alot.), there's extra missions that you get to work with robots against the tyrannoids; aliens that have guns and ships and saucers that are fun to kill. Or how about attempting to collect every single titanium bolt so you can have every single skin. There's a wide variety of stuff to do and it almost never gets old. And hten there's weapons. From freaky robot things that shoot lasers, and then cause a nuclear explosion to a gun that creates black holes, to the classic sniper, or my personal favorite, the Rynocerator, the strongest weapon in the game that's a bundle of fun to use. There's many other things that make this game great, and one of the more useful things about the game is that it can be played by both adults and kids. If you're a kid, all you have to do is get the Rynocerator, and the game won't be ezxtremely difficult. If you're an adult on the other hand, you might like to use your wrench or some of the weaker weapons , instead of relying on the Rynocerator or Decimator, or whatever it is that you like so much. The entire game itself is just so beautiful, I just can't list how many great things there are in the game. There are only a few minor problems with the game, but that shouldn't stop you at all from buying this game, it's my personal favorite so far.
Another Great Entry in a Fabulous Series

This is an attempt to give a brief, semi-informative review for those people who are still debating whether getting Ratchet & Clank 3 is worth it if you can't use the online play function, which is what most of the buzz around the game has been about.
I can say the answer to that question is a resounding *yes!* This game has fantastic graphics, great voice acting, a fun story, and engaging gameplay. I wouldn't recommend this game for anybody under...13 or so. There is a lot of cartoon violence, and the humor is a little dirtier than in previous R&C games.
I gave the game a 5 in terms of fun and replay-ability. I played for nearly 8 hours the first day I had it. It's fun storyline and ton of optional missions will keep you engaged. As in R&C 2, you can upgrade weapons and armor, and although there are now four levels to go through, you don't really see any significant increase in weapon strength until the final upgrade. One great feature of the game is the inclusion of the side-scrolling in-game, Captain Quark Vid-Comics. These brief little mini-games are fun to complete, give you great bonuses, and contain funny mini-movies that allow you to see into the life of your favorite big green "hero". The enemies are more varied, and tougher than those in the previous two games. Even with leveled up weapons, it takes strategy to get through most areas, and will likely take more than one attempt. Where this game falls short compared to the other two is how brief it is. With a game this good, you want it to keep going! Not only are there fewer worlds to explore, the worlds themselves are much less expansive and interactive as they used to be. In Going Commando, nearly everything was breakable, but in Up Your Arsenal, this fun aspect was sadly diminished. But, even though it's shorter and less involved than it's prequels, the game is still head and shoulders above most other platformers, or games of any other genre, for that matter.
Ratchet&Clank +Going Commando= No where near Up Your Arsenal

The Pros at Insomniac continue to impress with this third installment of the Ratchet and Clank series.
The gameplay is rich with detail. In single player mode there are fewer levels but a whole lot more fun. Multiplayer fulfilled my dreams of an online Ratchet and Clank game.
Here's the low down on the cool (and not so cool) aspects of the game:
Pros-
-Highly Detailed Levels
-Tons of New Weapons and Upgrades (Including the Rift Inducer)
-Awesome Multiplayer Modes (Siege, Capture the Flag, Deathmatch) [Local and Online Play]
-Customizable Armor for Ratchet
-Totally Cool Vehicles
Cons-
-Single Player has fewer levels
Better than Jak 3!!!
