This is an awesome game. It has so much to do and took my son and I quite a while to get everything done, we loved every minute of the game. I would have to say it is one of the best games we've ever played!
Must Buy

This, like the other Ratchet and Clank games, is a must buy. Great fun and great looking.
I Love This Game.

As I sit here, I cannot make a single solitary complaint about this game. The story is entertaining, the gameplay is fun, and the controls are truly flawless. I am so in love with the third-person shooter controls in Up Your Arsenal that I wish every developer would employ them in their shooter games.
Most of the gameplay will consist of platforming, killing robots, collecting bolts (money,) and upgrading your weapons. Your weapons are really what it's about (if the Arsenal in the title didn't give it away.) There are Area of Effect weapons, Sniping weapons, and even strange Sci-Fi weapons (suck enemies into a vortex, turn them into ducks, etc.) The weapons are so diverse that it puts strategy into the shooting. What gun you use and where you use it is often the deciding factor between victory and frustration. This isn't to say that you can't run and gun (or jump and gun in this case,) but you'll be returning to check points a little more often if you do.
The cutscenes are well voiced, and the scripting is laid back and humorous. This game won't give your little one nightmares like Silent Hill, and it's not blood-soaked like GTA or God of War. All in all, this is one of the best PS2 games I've ever played.
Okay

Great game that carries on the tradition of the other Ratchet and Clank options that in our view (mine and my sons) has the best weapon choices and best locations of the PS2 series. The storyline is still adequate.
Great Game

I just recently beat this game and it was fun. There are so many weapons to choose from. My favorite weapon was the rift inducer. It makes a black hole and all the enemies in the area get sucked in. The people that made this game really used their imagination with some of these weapons. I enjoyed every minute and would recommend this game to anyone.

This is a replacement for the original game, we've played it so much! :) It's got all the challenge you'd expect from a Ratchet and Clank game and more. The games main focus is on upgrading your weapons. Each can be upgraded to level 5 - then you purchase the 6th level and upgrade it to level 8. It's got 5 levels of a Captain Qwark 2D side-scroller game
The Dynamo/Swing-Shot are now mixed with a third one into the Hacker Device. The Hacker is used to unlock doors through a very cool new many game. There is also armor to buy, Clank levels to play, Charge/Magna/Grind Boots, Ratchet Skins, skill points/cheats, titanium bolts and Trophy's to find/earn. There is also a Championship Level replay here and the End Boss Battle is the toughest in the series, including the new R&C:Future Tools of Destruction.
This game introduces the Hovership -- for ship to ground and ship to ship combat. There is also a four wheeled all terrain vehicle that you drive, while a monkey does the firing. There is also arena combat and you can even try weapons before you can buy them.
If you have them, make sure to insert a memory card with R&C 1 and 2 saves on it to get a free skin, free weapons and a one-time only discount.
This is my second favorite R&C game, after #2 -- it rocks!

We have only done a few levels soo far, but have had a total blast with this game. As with other R&C games its just fun. My 6 yr old loves them all as well (mostly runs around killing a bit and runs to me for the bigger kills or difficult things).

I am a pacifist and I usually don't like shooting games, but, with this one, the bad guys are just (almost) robots, so it is okay. No blood or gores. I really enjoy the game because the design is smart and the game is not only about shooting enemies with a lot of choices in weaponry, but also about racing, treasure hunters, strategy and more. The characters are funny, but not too silly. The environment is superb. The sound is great as well, and I like the idea to go from planet to planet. Besides, you don't stop playing because you get old, you get old because you stop playing. So enjoy this game. It is a well constructed one with a lot of surprises.
