GREAT GAME

The fourth Ratchet and Clank video game is coming, but Clank is nowhere to be found.
The new Ratchet and Clank is called Ratchet: Deadlocked. The story line in Ratchet: Deadlocked has Ratchet and Clank captured and forced to participate in an underground reality combat sport show. The reality show features captured heroes fighting for their lives against a deadly gang of fighters. The show is run by a crazy media tycoon, Gleeman Vox, who intends to use Ratchet and Clank as his next contestants.
Because of the collar attached to Ratchet's neck, he can't do anything Vox doesn't want him to do, or he would kill Ratchet instantly. To keep him and his friends alive, Ratchet has to participate in the games and increase the show's ratings with his incredible victories. The goal of this game is to break free of Vox's control, get rid of the deadly collar attached to Ratchet's neck, and bring down Vox's huge network.
Ratchet: Deadlocked has many new features such as more freedom for your mission choices; co-op game play in both single and multi-player story modes; a new set of weapons; medals; dread points; squad-based battles; and many more! The squad-based battles allow you to command a group of allied bots in both single and multiplayer game modes. Each bot has a different personality and a customization feature which allows you to change their body parts and textures.
Another key difference from the previous Ratchet and Clanks' game play is that you will not be using Clank. This is because he will be serving as the mission engineer. However, he will provide information and monitor your progress throughout the missions.
The new weapons in Ratchet: Deadlocked are better than ever. The main new feature in the weapon system is the ability to choose how your weapons are upgraded - both numerically and functionally. This new feature allows 1000's of possible weapon combinations to create the largest variety of Ratchet and Clank weapons ever before!
You can collect dread points and medals by beating missions. Dread points and medals are needed in order to unlock new planets, each planet offering new missions, challenges, and enemies. The first planet with actual missions is called Catacrom IV. The planet is filled with zombie robots which come out of the ground to attack you. The best feature about the zombies is that when they get torn apart and have their body parts scattered everywhere, they keep attacking you.
There are many new missions in this Ratchet and Clank. The first few missions are very simple. These missions are basically tutorials on how to use the game. As the game progresses, the missions get much more difficult. In some of the later missions, you can race hoverbikes, capture control points, destroy key targets, clear areas of enemies, and much, much more. The missions are never the same and the order of them keeps the game fun and interesting. Also, the missions usually last a few minutes, so you probably won't get bored with a single mission. Many missions are optional, but still very fun. Plus, the more missions you do, the more bolts ($ in the Ratchet and Clank world) you collect.
To sum up, this is a great game and I would highly recommend it to anyone who liked the previous Ratchet and Clank games or likes action adventure games.

good game ! didn't expect it to be this good .

I personally enjoyed this game . It was pretty good. Although the main gameplay is mainly more focused on action this time around , it still has some platforming, and a lot of variety. The story starts out with ratchet , clank , and big al (from the first and third games)all set out to find a certain hero named captain starshield, that has been missing for a long time. They hear he was last seen at a region of the galaxy called the shadow sector. They set out to find him , and when they get to the shadow sector ,their ship is attacked by a gruop of robots , and they are brought to a certain space station . Here, Ratchet is forced to compete in an illegal combat sport called dreadzone.This is an arena-style show were captured heroes fight different enemies and complete various challenges in order to win their freedom . This sport is headed by a man called gleeman vox, who is the founder of the show.To make sure that Ratchet and Clank don't escape, deadlock collars are put around their necks. These are deadly devices, that will explode if they become uncooperative, try to escape, or do anything that is against the rules. So Ratchet is forced to compete in this show, until he and clank can find a way to escape.

Now, there are a few changes to the game . First, it is focused more on action this time around , although there are still some platforming challenges here and there, so don't be discouraged . Secondly , Clank will not be on Ratchet's back anymore , and you won't get to control him . But don't worry , he will still be in the game .He will function as you mission control engineer , which monitors your progress through Dreadzone , and you'll still get to interact with him a lot .

Also , as compensation for Clank's "loss", you will get two combat bots that will fight alongside you. These things are great , and their AI is great , so they'll make any stupid mistakes that will really annoy you. they have about 3 different weapons, that they'll use of their own accord (don't worry about this , as they choose them pretty wisely , and not just randomly and in a stupid way ). They also have 1 special attack that's very strong , and they can use it when it's available , and they use it only when you command them to. besides that, they also have about 5 gadgets that you can tell them to use whenever you need to . Their gadgets are really cool , and they are things like creating a defensive shield aroung you or the other bot when you're completing a certain task , or throwing an EMP grenade at electronic devices to shut them down (However, you'll only get to use these gadgets at certain points, like in the previous games.)You can also customize your bots with different heads and paint jobs.

The weapons have also undergone a big change. This time you only have 10 weapons, but they are customizable. You can add tons of different mods to them . There are two types of mods:
alpha mods , and omega mods.
the omega mods add special qualities to your weapon , like the morph mod ,which turns enemies into animals, the insanity mod, which causes enemies to attack each other, and the naplam mod, which creats big pools of lava with each shot.The alpha mods just improve your weapons' performance, and they improve things like the ammo capacity of a weapon , the rate of fire of a weapon , etc.

Co-op mode has also been added , and you'll be able to play the entire story mode with a friend. This friend will replace your combat bots, and both you and he will have all the gadgets that your robots have. Speaking of multiplayer , versus mode and online mode have also returned. The vs. multiplayer inculdes 5 different mods , one of them being conquest mode, which is an improved mode of siege from the third game. Here , you have to capture more nodes than the opposing team , and if you hold a node long enough , you can get upgrades for it.

The only downside to this game is that some people might not like the fact that it is focused more on action this time , although that didn't bother me.

Overall this is a fun game , with lots of variety , great graphics,good weapon upgrading system, and great multiplayer modes.You can even choose the difficulty level , ranging from 1-5. I recommend this game to anyone.

Ratchet and Clank is short but sweet!

This is the easiest game in the R.A.C. series! it is short, but
it's about a story when Big (fat is more like it!) Al, Ratchet,
and Clank are forced to play a role in Dreadzone, a illegal co-
mbat show but Gleeman Vox, the founder of the game show force t-
hem to to go to over ten worlds to terminate the four Extermina-
tors, Shellshock, Reactor, Eviscerator, and Ace Hardlight, thou-
gh Vox still has faith in- uh just rent or buy! I want to tell
you the six battles.

King of the Leviators:
Place: Sarathos Swamp, the hellish world of icky stuff!
Difficulty: Easy

Shellshock:
Place: Dark Catherdal of Kronos, the dark side of Metropolis, w-
ell, not Metropolis but dark!
Difficulty: Easy

Reactor:
Crusader Tournament, the Battledome near your pal's sanctuary.
Difficulty: Easy

Eviscerator:
Vindictor Tournament, same
Difficulty: Easy

Ace Hardlight:
Liberator Tournament, same
Difficulty: Medium

Vox:
Battledome, same
Difficulty: Easy, and Medium...

This is easy, and you don't die much, a very good game but I'm
telling you Vox is easy at the first round but in the last he's
got a little strength then enjoy the ending and Nefarious ending
after the escape ending!

boo yah

THis is an awesome game. It allows cooperative play with a friend for all the levels in the single player mode, enabling you to have much more fun with the exciting game. It also has a new weapon system, where instead of just buying and upgrading a gun, you actually get to customize it to your own liking. Furthermore, this is a great game and I'm definitely looking forward to getting it some time soon.

Mike Jones! Who? Mike Jones! Who? Mike Jones!
Back then, they didn't want it, now i'm hot they all want it.

best ever

Ratchet Deadlocked is an awesome game! It's also very funny and has exciting gameplay with great graphics. However it is short. Insomniac Games will make the next game for PS3. But it won't be Ratchet and Clank. It's going to be a sci-fi FPS game which means Ratchet Deadlocked is the last game of the series.

ya gotta love it!!!

This game is freaking awesome. I just got it today and wow, I was impressed. The levels are absolutely huge and it there are different types of difficulty for the game so thats good for people who want a challenge. The vehicles are spectular as well as the game and you will have a blast blowing up anything in sight. The weapons are much better than the previous versions of the game too and they have different mods. It also has online like UYA. Well, see you online!

This game is really nice. Ratchet is captured to compete in an illegal game show run by Vox. Ive played through this game and there are both awesome qualities and some average things. If I could, I would have given this game 4.5 stars, but I like to round up.

Pros:
You get these two bodyguards that you can customize.
Your weapons can really become personalized. There are all kinds of different mods. There are mods which are mainly elemental mods, such as acid, lava, shock and others. And there there are mods that improve your weapons, such as a faster firing rate, a larger impact, and other things.
This game has an excellent replay value, just as much as the other R&C games.
There are A LOT of jokes in this one, some parodies that many people will not catch.

Cons:
If you didnt like the gameplay of the other R&C games, though it is improved here, you probably wont like this game.
Clank is not a playable character, now he is in the background helping you out.

ratchets back!!!!
