I'm mature enough to play these games and I've got two of them already! Ratchet & Clank(R&C)3: Up Your Arsenal(UYA) will be the coolest game EVER!!! R&C 3: UYA has a LOT of weapons including five returnees from the last game Going Commando(GC). It will be AWESOME!!! Oh, did I mention the infector? It confuses enemies into thinking THEY'RE fighting! HA!

wow

this game is the best game i have ever played. i thought the the second game was good, this one blew it out of the water. the weapons are better, but if you miss past weapons you are able to buy them back. in this game you can also use vehicles, which is a good addition to make this one of the best well rounded games EVER. five stars

This Game is FANTASTIC!!!!

This game will in all likelyhood be the benchmark for all future games on the PS2 console. It is a shame that it came out the same time as Halo 2, because to be honest, it deserves a bigger kick-off than what it is getting. The game is the best I have played on PS2 and also rivals, if not beats, anything I have seen on any other platform.

Ok, to the game itself. R&C Up your arsonal really brings a lot of new aspects to the R&C lineup. With new weapons, new missions and plot, the single player mode will offer hours of enjoyment. Each weapon can be upgraded 5 times, and although you can import weapons from the 1st and 2nd games, don't worry about having them gold, because they all import at the base level. Don't worry about this, you will have lot's of fun powering them up in the game and it's not a detraction to the overall game play.

The Multi-player platform is also top notch. With easy jump on and off, a buddy list, 8 players to a game and multiple game formats, the Multi-player game could have been sold seperately as a game in itself. The headset support is great, with no lag and quick game loads. Make sure you get the headset for this part, because you will miss out on a lot of the game without it.

All in all, this game deserves more than 5 Stars. Insomniac really has it's act together and this game is going to really be a hard one to beat. If you have never played an R&C game before, don't hesitate to pick this up. The Multi-Player mode is easy to pick up and will offer endless hours of fun. The single player mode has a great plot and will allow a new or faithful follower to jump right into the single player game.

If you get one game this year, make sure it's this one.

The Best PS2 game so far

I'll start off by saying that my favorite game series has always been the metal gear series. I waited months for snake eater to come out and was extremely excited to get it for my birthday. the other game i got was R&C: UYA. I played snake eater for a few hours, then switched over to R&C. Since that moment, over a month ago, snake eater has not come back out of its case. the single player is great, but the real drawl is online. the offline multiplayer pretty much sucks because of the split screen and limited players. ONline though, this game excels. There are tons of stats, clans, and games to keep you busy forever. If you have broadband, you have to get this game

This game was amazing. I have the first two games and this one is even better and more dynamic! There are even more weapons and upgrades than ever before. The graphics are fantastic and more colorful. The A.I. is alot smarter than before. There are even some new gameplay additions, such as the Quark side-scrolling vid-comics. The controls are spot on and very responsive. More levels give it a deep plot against an evil robot named Dr. Nefarious. The new online addition is great, but it won't knock Unreal Tournament off the board. But still, Kudos to Insomniac Games!

HOLY STUFF!

This game is the best thing ever to happen to video games.

For the unitiated, the Ratchet and Clank series is about gathering a bunch of ridiculously-named guns/gloves/other vilent acsessories and destroying evil robots, while laughing your butt off. Real funny stuff.

You control Ratchet, a space-wombat with a bunch of guns. Your goal is to stop the nefarious villain, Doctor Nefarious, a robot who wants to DESTROY ALL SQUISHIES!!! (AKA organic lifeforms.) He has employed the Tyranoids to help him. The Tyranoids are obviously pretty stupid, because they too are squishies.

Along the way you will meet the Greatest Superhero (and Biggest Idiot) the galaxy has ever known, Captain Qwark. He is the only person in the world capable of defeating Nefarious. One downside, though...wait, why would I spoil the plot? Let's just say he's ONE OF NATURE'S MYSTERIES!!!

You will visit such legendary locations as Annhilation Nation (similar to the arena in R&C 2), face off against the Britney Spears-esque Courtney Gears, watch as Clank gets his own secret-agent show, and, of course, BLOW STUFF UP!!!!

If you have a PS2, this is an essential.

Another Great PS2 classic BUT not as good as Going Commando

Ratchet and Clank UYA brings the return of Sonys Platform mascots and this time they're badder then ever! Ratchet and Clank UYA is with out a doublt a MUST HAVE PS2 GAME for people of all ages, the visuals are fantastic, the controls are great and the humor is always there to get you. The level desighn of UYA was my favorite out of everything els, everything is so nice and detailed. Insomniac really did a good job polishing up the visuals and may possibly be a tad bit better looking then Going Commando. WHY NO 5 STARS?...Well these were my biggest gripes...

-much shorter then Going Commando
-Most of the weapons were not as a great and didn't have the same feeling like Going Commando
-The boss battles were waaaaaaaaay better in GC then UYA, especially the one with the HUGE Robot...
-Barley any CLANK missions this time around
-WHAT HAPPEND TO THE GIANT CLANK FIGHTS!, there was only like one I think, and it wasn't really a robot it was just in a set for filming a show

Yeah I know, I'm kind of being a baby about it but other then that the game is top notch, something I love UYA is the fact that this time around you have Robots having your back on most missions, making it fun and adventurus....LETS GET TO IT

The Good
-Top Notch visuals
-mix between platforming and combat never felt so good
-some great weapons like the one were you shoot out a black hole and it sucks in your enemies
-Some really memerable level desighn
-The idea of upgrading a weapons more then 3 times is just awesome
-leveling up your life is much easier and doesn't take so long like in Going Commando

The Bad
-FOR MOST like myself, you'll probably finish this within a rental week...much shorter then Going Commando
-There wasn't as that many great weapons this time around..
-Gets a bit repetitive in some parts
-Not many weapons
and the rest was posted in the beginning of my review

Overall Ratchet and Clank UYA is a great PS2 game that has a great mix between platforming and combat, if you're looking for something great on the PS2 and like myself, is getting sick of all this GTA Crap GET UP YOUR ARSENAL....I give Ratchet and Clank UYA a...

4.5 out of 5 stars...

Sooooo much fun.

This is it, folks, one of the best games ever, which also happens to be the sequel to two of the best games ever. It is utterly, mindlessly, insanely fun. It's triggerhappy and the cutscenes are hilarious. Sure it's shorter than the second game and it has less guns, but it's still sweet. The guns are hilarious and creative, and Isomniac is not stealing off of Naughty Dog. They're just better. Can't wait for Deadlock, coming in November. Play the Qwarktastic Challenge if you know what's good for you. Now. Buy this game. Go.

Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal

I own and beaten Ratchet & Clank and Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando but Up Your Arsenal is clearly the best. There is nothing that I can find that is wrong with the game, it is just awesome. It is one of the few games that are out now that actually makes me want to play the game over and over again just so I can see all of the hilarious cut scenes again. I guarentee the game will have you rolling on the floor laughing.

The storyline is one of the best I have seen. Here it is, Ratchet (and clank of course) has to save the universe from Dr. Neferious, who is trying to turn all organic beings (he calls them "squishies") into robots. The president then tells you to find Quark, who thinks he is a monkey. So now you have to find a way to get Quark's memory back. After you do all that you embark on an action filled adventure with all of the blasting and fun in the previous games. And there are many new additions like Battlefield missions, hovership(sort of like a plane) and Turboslider missions(sort of like a jeep), and finding sewer crystals (you don't want to know...).

The weapons are amazing, each of them are distinct and there is a different type of weapons to suit everyones trigger fingers. Now you have over 20 different weapons at your disposal that can each be upgraded eight times, each upgrade making the weapon more deadly.

The mini-games are very fun to complete and add the most replayability to the game. You have to search for special bolts and tropheys throughtout each world. But trust me, they are well worth your time. You can unlock special 'skins' to play as and the Insomniac Mueseum, one of the coolest things in the game.

The main reason why this game is so fun is the Online mode. It is one of the only online games that I play because it is so fun! Up to eight players can play at a time and there are three different modes, siege, capture the flag, and deathmatch. There are three different modes to these modes, Attition siege (whichever team has the most nodes their base gets stronger), Choas CTF (your flag doesn't have to be at your base to cap it) and Team Deathmatch (you are on a team). Your rank is measured in bolts from 1-4, four being the best. You can also create clans and have clan wars against other clans. The community is awesome with very few glitchers and not a lot of lag. And for those who don't have online play you can play four player split screen mode.

If you don't have this game I highly recomend that you get it, you will not regret it! If you have online and you don't have this game then go to the store right now and buy it. You will not be dissapointed.
