Some of you may have read my review for Future Tactics: The Uprising, and already know that I traded that in. Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando is what I chose to replace the empty space on my shelf. Anyway, I'm going to compare this to Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal. First I'll write a review for Going Commando, then I'll write one for Up Your Arsenal.
But first, I should explain the series. Ratchet & Clank are a duo of intergalactic heroes who really know how to win a fight: blow the bad guys up! This mayhem is the signature of the series.
Before playing R&C: Going Commando, I had played Ratchet: Deadlocked and R&C: Up Your Arsenal. I picked this because I loved both of those, and was sure I was going to love this just as much. Like the rest of the series, this has amazing graphics and a good storyline. It also has a TON of replay value, there's a lot of extra side-missions. But I give this a 7 for 3 reasons. 1: Is a simple drop-in/fall-out multiplayer to much to ask for? I loved that in Deadlocked. 2: The checkpoints seem so far apart, especially in the beginning planets. 3: The other games seem so much funnier. I give this 7 out of 10.
R&C: Up Your Arsenal was the second R&C game I ever played. Up Your Arsenal also has a good plot, nice, polished graphics and a bunch of replay value. But they fixed the flaws that Going Commando had in this one. I give R&C: Up Your Arsenal 9 out of 10.
So there you have it. I recommend Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal over Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando. But I still recommend the entire series to any and all who even remotely like action/adventure games.
