Ratchet and Clank - Up Your Arsenal - Gifted Gamer Review


Ratchet and Clank - Up Your Arsenal Review


This third game in the Ratchet and Clank series is markedly different than the first two. Captain Quark starts off as someone who lost his mind in the jungle and turns into your team leader and doesn't try to kill you. Half of the game you are helping the Galactic Rangers fight off an alien space menace known as the Tyranoids. The Tyranoids were created by a robot called Dr. Nefarious. You are back at Gadgetron again.

Your home base is called the Starship Phoenix. You get a lot of missions from there. You can buy armor and weapons. You can train in a special training facility and you have your own room which you can play Captain Quark video games at.

One thing about this game is that at the higher levels you get hit harder and die faster. One level for example, is impossible without the Shield Charger. There is no way to destroy all of the enemies without being destroyed. Therefore you must run through it and have the Shield Charger up to make sure you make it through. Something that is mandatory for the last boss would be the Bouncer. It did half of the overall damage during the boss fight.

The enemies take a lot of hits later on in the game. This game is better than the first two games in the series, other than the lack of save spots in some places and how high the enemies can do damage.

Overall I rate this game an 8 (but I really hated that one part that requires the Shield Charger to get through).
