Ratchet and Clank Up Your Arsenal had the difficult task of following up upon on the success of Ratchet and Clank 2, which is one of my favorite games. However, despite a troubled development, Insomniac Games rose to the challenge and produced the perfect end to the original Ratchet and Clank trilogy!

J's Reviews which Ratchet and Clank
Is your favorite
Sometime you should do a Mass Effect retrospective.
I’ve could have sworn that this is your least favorite of the original trilogy.
the unused titles are even funnier like into the nether region, Clock blockers, and multiple organisms.
u forgot 4play :3
I would have loved if they called ratchets alternate reality self "snatchet". Snach because girl.
@@josesosa3337
Oh lord. XD
Clock blockers is a great name.
Can't stop size matters though.
Multiple Organisms would of been better that Rift Apart smh.
It's so crazy that even though this game was very much unfinished, had lots of cut content and went through a hellish development cycle, it's still one of the best games of ps2, and one of my all time favourites.
@@murderman8578 preach
Yeah. It was the fan favorite for the longest time, which makes it even more surprising that it managed to lose that title.
@@superlombax1561 when did it loose that title? I thought the general consensus was that the "best game" was a tie between UYA, GC and ACiT (that differes between person to person but those are in general the top 3)
@@maestrofeli4259 that’s still the general consensus.
@@CodeStrife7 oh okay
I asked because @Super Lombax said that it lost that title
I still think think about Clank's "what a load of bullshi..." line its golden
*Klunk ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
The foul language isn’t necessary
@@macysondheim it's a line in the actual game, it's just ratchet cuts him off before finishing. It's during Quarks funeral and technically it's Clunk who says it not Clank since he's still captive at that point, forgot to mention that
That and the clip where the guy was like “he was running BUTT Naked, screaming and holding a bannaner. Or maybe it wasn’t. It could be…
ONE OF NATURE’S MYSTERIES!!!
@@apleb7605@The_Davo_Domain what about “I thought we agreed to put that jungle business behind us. It was mating season! How was I supposed to know she was your sister!”
Honestly had the series ended here I would have been fine.
In my personal opinion the ratchet trilogy is one of the reasons why growing up with a ps2 was totally worth it.
My aunt was a huge fan of the ratchet and clank games and introduced me and my brothers to the series too.
Don't forget Gladiator/Deadlocked! That game is awesome!
@@nicoloenricorimoldi7425 yeah I love dreadlocked.
I grew up with the Xbox and Dreamcast. While I loved Blinx and Halo and Sonic, Ratchet was the one series on PS2 I was always envious of.
That's nuts, my aunt (and my cousins) were the people that introduced me to RaC 1 kind of out nowhere one night.
@@KaiserMattTygore927 I never played much but admired the games from a far.
I'm only familiar with size matters oof.
About the titles of the games: we used to ask our parents for these games for christmas and birthdays and my dad would get a kick out of the titles. We always had to explain that the games weren't actually as bad as they sounded and my dad always had a laugh.
I remember Qwark robots being one of the creepiest enemies in any R&C game. Especially their resiliency and just when you think you killed them, they're still alive kind of like terminator with their endoskeleton revealed
Insomniac really killed it there.
Think it really goes to show just how talented the guys at Insomniac are when, even with the incomplete state this game was released in, it still wound up being near everybody's favorite game in the series just due to how much they nailed everything that did make the cut.
Sonic team should really take notes
@@veryangryboi4128 SEGA needs to stop treating their employees like shit.
I always felt like the odd one out, Ratchet and Clank 2 was my favourite by a huge margin. Not sure how I'd feel going back to them as an adult but I found the locations in 2 much more interesting and varied than 3
My first experience with Nefarious was in Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One, and I will never forget the part in the beginning of the game where Nefarious starts playing a zombie-soap opera-thing. It was hilarious.
Really happy to see a review of this game that doesn't feel too one-sided. It goes nicely over what improvements were made from the previous entries while acknowledging its shortcomings. Great video!
Playing this game (and the rest of the PS2 quadrilogy) is one of my fondest childhood memories.
I could not agree more.
Ratchet and Clank 3 came with a demo for Sly 2 and Sly 2 came with a demo for Ratchet and Clank 3. After completing the Ratchet 3 demo you get the code for the lightsaber wrench replacment.
Love all the ps2 games, heck I love every single Ratchet and Clank games.
Also note that the lightsaber DID extend the reach of the weapon, and as thus is used in speedruns
I had Crash Bandicoot 3 WAAAAAARPED on PS1 and the manual had a code for a demo to Spyro the Dragon which was the only way I could play that game until Reignited Trilogy dropped out of the sky on wings of fiery vengeance.
My house burned down :(
R&C3 is a game I really wanna play now. I love how the characters grow and change plus you gotta love the RYNO.
I never got it in 3. I liked Going Commando more.
I have been watching so many ratchet and clank reviews recently as well as playing tools of destruction for the first time and it's so awesome hearing everyone's takes on diffrent parts of the game. Hopefully I bet tools of destruction before that review comes out lol
yeah, there've been lots of R&C related content lately. I suppose we have to thank rift apart for that
I played this when i was a child. Now i'm in my 20s and i can still hear "LAWRENCCCCE!!!!" like it was yesterday, and watching all the cutscenes again has be laughing my behind off, as does clank saying "what a load of bullsh..."
Man times were different then, games were hilarious
Honestly, i doesnt matter if Ratchet And Clank 3 was better than 2 or no, is still a game that lived up to its predecessors and i happy with that.
Ratchet's innuendos were truly ahead of it's time. That Size Matters cover looks like the girl on the couch meme.
Stop
Everyday we stray further from God
@@MrHotSalsaNo you
The bouncer part killed me😂
You hit the nail on the head with the difference between 3 and 2016 game.
The multiplayer was so fun in this game. I played it all the time.
I played this one first and then the second game and then the first they're all great but Rachet and Clank 3 is still one of my favorite games of all time
I'm currently playing this on my PsVita Hd Collection i dont mind some glitches and the gameplay is really good and im having a great time playing what i used to just watch my friend play 10 years or more ago ahhh the memories.
Only one problem with that from my experience: THE BLOODY SKILL POINT IN 1 WHERE YOU HAVE TO DO A HOVERBOARD TRICK.
@@aldebaran2643 Oh yea i didnt have any case and the touch for r2 and L2 is horrible so i havent done it yet i got a case for it now tho so i probably can make it thats the only skillpoint i dont have of all of them.
25:48 Having just played the game my self for the first time, I thought the line about Biology being his least favorite class in that vid-comic was like, a hint to why he has the whole "Robots over Squishies" thing, some kind of "I like machines more than people" thing.
This was the first online multiplayer shooter I ever played on console. Back then, a lot of people didn’t know the PS2 had online capability and even voice chat. You had to be there!!
I can confirm that the lack of Hologuise is the reason for not getting that discount. It's real stupid, but I can understand why at least.
It does make sense in universe as you are not an employee of Gadgetron until that point. So why would you get the discount otherwise?
Things like new game + are just gameplay features and not actual story elements.
@@jordanread5829 I was thinking more along the lines of the PS2 software simply checking for any save data with the hologuise obtained since technology wasn't as advanced back then as it is now.
This is absolutely in my Top 5 games of all time I had so much fun playing it as a kid and and an adult it has literally everything you can ask for in a video game. You forgot to mention the titanium bolt and trophy collecting as well as the in game skill points!
The music was something else in this game. Marcadia, Aridia and Starship Phoenix were my favourites. So much nostalgia...
I played a ridiculous amount of local multiplayer foir this game when I was a kid. Me and my freind would just play 1v1 and the map was clearly not meant for that few players but cheesing the base turrets with the jets by staying behind the building while playing capture the flag is a core memory for me. Glad Rift Apart came to PC so I can finally play another R&C.
What did you think of rift apart? I can't tell if I'm just that much more cynical or if the whole cinematic feel the game has gone with since PS3 has it just too far from what it started.
Also the characters and story have become way too soft. Quark was a clever evil idiot in the first two games, which helped make 2's story the best imo.
But ratchet and the others in the latest games juat seem like you'd poke them and they'd come with with some corny line or just cry. Is it just expected to be this soft on kids these days? Bye bye clever writing.
Nafarious wasn't too bad but is still a pretty cliche character, another reason I give 2's story with surprise at the end extra points. Drek was meh.
@@teravolt1195 yeah I generally agree with you.... I really liked rift apart but it did feel like it ended a bit faster than I wanted it to. The story wasn't the best thing I've ever come across but it was good enough especially considering the shooting felt better using M+K than I was expecting a PS port to feel.
OH MAN! I remember playing that Demo way back when I was a kid, it was actually my introduction to the sly series, before that I'd never heard of it, it was a great Demo
same dude, I had forgotten all about it until watching this - must have played that demo countless times, never got the game tho, still haven't played any sly game
Wow. Had no idea Armin Shimmerman was in Star Trek. And I watched Deep Space NIne. Forgot he played as Deep Space Nine's Ferengi bartender Quark. He was actually a really funny character, although his voice inflections are very different and I never would've guessed he also did Dr. Nefarious.
I was super surprised he played Conda in Dark Cloud 2 (if you even know the game, if not, you should 100% buy it on PS4, it's awesome). Definitely an awesome voice actor and a versatile one at that.
Its great to see people remember this game! I recently emulated the game quite a few times with my house mates to play 4 player splitscreen Seige mode. Still a brilliant game!
I wonder how the three galaxies interact, we have the Solana galaxy where he came from, the Bogon galaxy where he got kidnapped, and the Polaris galaxy in R&C: future. In the first cutscene in ratchet 3, it has breaking news for a planet Veldin which is in the SOLANA GALAXY, why would Bogon broadcast that? Same with secret agent clank: Holostar Studios needed clank while the duo are on a mission, so Clank either had to go back to the Bogon galaxy to produce the movie, or he had to go back to Solana which he complained about and quote "But Veldin is in the Solana galaxy!" There's no way Secret Agent clank could be made, unless there were two studios, who produced Clanks movie. Clank and Ratchet's relations in Solana would've been impossible while they were on Bogon, period. Sorry for long comment.
Hey, nice catch! You're right, guess that traveling from galaxy to galaxy doesn't take as long as expected?
Jk, it's a fuckup in writing.
Well look at it this way...its so easy to travel to different planets that a galaxy might very be the equivalent of a country.
An while living in one country news and other media are broadcast across others.
It was confirmed that in GC ratchett and clank watched the series behind the hero while travelling in GC and that was a Solana show.
If ratchet and clank had a channel fir Solana then it make sense that an emergency broadcast would disrupt.
@@rushalias8511 okay the broadcast makes sense I guess but what about travel? Ratchet used his untested gravometric warp drive to drive to Veldin, and was also used to get back to Starship phoenix when it was being attacked. I'm guessing it doesn't have many uses left, it's a six-way screw that he just threw in there. Now. Holostar studios... Where is it? Bogon or Solana. How is secret agent clank so popular in another galaxy? I wonder. Thank you guys for the feedback
@@onedova2298 Holostar studios doesn't need to be located in any one place. For all we know it can be stationed in multiple areas like or at the very least there are different places to go film with only the director and crew being needed. Looking back at the sequence in games the director called around the missions for aquatos/tyrannosis which is 3/4 missions after the start of the game and at least 3 missions before the studio appears. So the director could have been on his way during the time and made the plans in advance.
The warping is also explained looking at uya and gc intro. In GC when Fizwidget calls Ratchet he asks for their help saying they duo was on a ship heading to Bogon and how during the trip Ratchet would have 2 weeks to train to improve himself.
In uya he uses the warp drive to instantly teleport them back to solana during the invasion. Travelling between galaxies seem to be like taking a cruise given the distance, you can either teleport which is like flying a plane or drive the long way as if its a boat.
And secret agent clank being popular isn't exactly surprising I mean look at the bulk of Japanese media that became popular elsewhere from Mario, to pokemon to various other anime and games. Clank and Ratchet were already somewhat famous due to their reputation defeating drek and while said reputation did wane a bit Clank did regain most it from Secret agent clank. Similar to how Qwark apparently also had a reputation as a hero
@@rushalias8511 okay the studio could've been set up with the director and crew I suppose.
I believe it was 2 years and I think Ratchet and clank was teleported instantly so makes sense
I like your points I'm glad we discussed it. I wonder how many galaxies they extend to, maybe they are next door to each other? It kind of stays at the Polaris galaxy after everything, when that happens, behind the hero and secret agent clank is kind of... Forgotten, somehow captain qwark tagged along, and finally Dr. Nefarious happens to just float to Polaris, I don't know how age works in this universe. But maybe that can lead to another video. Good night thanks for answering
Jay I have been rewatching these videos religiously for years.
Don’t think I didn’t notice that title change 📸
this was the best one for me
IT'S ONE OF NATURE'S MYSTERIES

@@keeganstormblade5456 ONE OF NATURE'S MYSTERIES
3 was my first ratchet and clank game and after all these years it still is my faiv one(also the v5 of the RYNO is the best one in my opinion)
the Multiplayer was SO GOOD! Played it a lot back in the days and we loved it❤
My grandma came home one day with this game in hand, honestly it changed my gaming life forever though the disk was wrecked or something since it would constantly soft lock and go black screen on the lava level.
They days when J actually replied to comments are long gone bro
F.
Sort of. I mean, most youtubers get to this point where you can't respond to everyone, but if a comment catches your attention enough, you will write something.
7:38 Nah this is just plain out wrong, it depends on the weapon imo, the shock canon takes a long time to get to max level, but the lancer gets to level 2 in like, 15 minutes. In these games xp is completely different, in ratchet 2 you get less xp the more you kill, and in the third game, the amount of xp from killing an enemy is the same forever.
Hype. You make such awesome and consistent lengthy reviews. Best channel ever
I honestly keep going back and forth between this game and Going Commando. Also in hindsight, 2004 had a lot of great games didn’t it?
Sly 2, RaC UYA, Jak 2 (i think), Crash Twinsanity.
Half life 2 as well
So it's weird I actually played this one first as a kid iirc and went back to the other 2 games so it's kinda great how much they all hold up but I do have trouble with not having lock strafe in 2 going back for a bit. Still 3 is the best one as expected of a great sequel
Also remember playing the multiplayer a lot with my nephew and the quark tutorial was so funny we let it play more than once
The one I played first was deadlocked so going back playing this one was next was amazing. I do like deadlocked but up your arsenal was just better.
Going back further I did have the same issue with adjusting to no lock on strafe.
Ratchet & Clank 3 was already my favourite game on the PS2, but your review made me appreciate the game EVEN more!!
Also that joke with the Bouncer was hilarious xD
One of my all time favourite PS2 games ever.
Armin Simmerman also played Andrew Ryan in Bioshock, thats cool as hell
Ratchet and Clank Up Your Arsenal definitely very good game 😊 more action more area more weapons, the story is very good
The funny thing is michael bill raziels voice actor from the legacy of kain is lawrence voice actor
Love how ratchet's games reference sly
And jak
This was one of my favorite ps2 games growing up. Only ever got to play this and Size Matters. Just beat the latter again today on emulator.
how do you use an emulator
I usually wait to watch these videos till I get a taste of the game (usually after I buy it or play it over at a friends house) but I ended up beating the game and didn't have to skip the story summary which shows how much more fun I had with with 3 vs 2 (2 is still a great time though)
This game is fantastic but I find Going Commando and Deadlocked better imo.
Yea I agree going commando is better. Still a really good game
Depending on the day,bI change how I feel about it, in general I feel deadlocked has the nost fun combat, rac 2 has the best planet design, but 3 just feels so epic
@@aaroncarr3413 same
Ratchet 1 is better too. Although I’ve never played deadlocked.
@@aaroncarr3413 Yeah. I like all the games overall and I'll willingly replay any one of them, but if I had to choose, yeah. GC and Deadlocked are up high on that list.
Ahh Ratchet and Clank 3, my first PS2 game ( Yeah I got my PS2 late, Christmas 2004). I played this over and over and over, I think my New Game plus save file was on the 15th run.
5:25 My Claw Grip, which I've used since I was a wee kid, was similar but my pinky was on the bottom, nameless on the bumpers for quick access, and in case I'd slide my hand back down, I'd probably use my middle finger on R1. My index finger helped my thumb handle the thumb stick by having the index move the stick down and the thumb would move it up. And normally my middle finger was just there in a hook. Little/child hand problems.
This game was such a good finale to the PS2 Trilogy :)
Awesome! Unbelievable that the Ratchet & Clank games have not been re-released on Playstation 4 after all these years.
Ratchet and Clank Size Matters actually fixed the RYNOCERATOR.
Thank you for doing justice to the original R&C Trilogy, one of my fave series of all time. Really enjoyed the reviews and everything was spot on! Good job!
I remember playing Ratchet and Clank 3 so much as a kid. I upgraded all the weapons to V8, got all skill points, all skins and all titanium bolts. I think i played challenge mode 10 times.
Same thing as you. I have so much joyful memories and size matters too
I always loved how the president in this game was just furry Bill Clinton lmao
The thing about the Flux Rifle is it does do more damage when you use the scope, and you in turn actually take less damage (something I didn't know even after playing the game a million times). How you use the Flux Rifle is how I like using the Fusion Rifle in Deadlocked tho ;)
I know for a fact that it does more damage at longer range, so perhaps its not the scope like you may think. Didn't know that about the damage tho
Going commando and up your arsenal were the two Rachet and clank games I constantly played as a kid in my ps2 (along with battlefront 1&2)
It's been years since I last replayed this game and it was my favorite of all time for a good chunk of my life. The last time I played I remember not having as much fun as when I was a kid because the game was too easy with all the broken weapons and armor. Recently I started a new playthrough but with a self-imposed challenge of not buying armor, it was great. It really changes how you approach each level and halfway through the story it gets really hard. Highly recommend this challenge to anyone wanting to spice up this game.
Ratchet & Clank Up Your Arsenal has the best weapon selection, but I also think it has the least interesting of the 3 games if we're only counting the brand new weapons. The Rift Inducer is the only new weapon that really stood out to me..the rest were just copies of Going Commando weapons, and the weapons from the previous 2 games are the biggest highlights, mainly the Going Commando weapons.
I like how you expressed your excitement to get the Bouncer back in this game, it doesn't stop there, the Plasma Coil is next then the Shield Charger, those weapons are just as addicting to use.
But for that reason, and the more explorable level designs, I prefer Going Commando over Up Your Arsenal.
Going commando was better
Gladiator had the best selection😅
2004!? Omfg, I remember the car ride home after convincing my mom to buy it for me. It's still one of my all-time favorites
*It was mating season, how was I supposed to know she was your sister?* Btw, unfortunate news that Jim Ward has been in the hospital for a while and is in medical debt. He's been suffering with Alzheimer's for a little while and was also positive for COVID at the same time. We need to support our man, our hero, *CAPTAIIIIIIIIIIN QWAAAAAAAAAARK*
Also, I don't mean to be a dick but the N60 Storm sucks in DPS. If you like it for the aim then power to ya and it is fun ngl, it just doesn't do enough imo. Also, Flux Rifle is broken if you ADS and the Shock Cannon is broken if you wave the controller around.
That's depressing
@@tecknowledjee6933 yeah, the n60 is probably the worst weapon in UYA, and the worst blaster-like weapon in the entire series
@@maestrofeli4259 Agreed. The Lancer is really good for the first several worlds but falls off around Boldan pretty hard. The Blaster is actually really good for almost the entire game and can 1 clip Drek. The Dual Vipers are decent for the entirety of Deadlocked and are great at screen clearing the smaller enemies cause of the ricochet. The N60 falls off around like Daxx or before lmao.
@@tecknowledjee6933 yeah I would say it falls in thyrranosis (when the thyrranoids get the yellow paint and get a bit stronger).
The constructo pistol is decent throughout 3/4 of the game.
The combuster is usually outclassed by other weapons midway into the games it appears in, but is overall fine, if not because it appeared *IN 5 GAMES IN A ROW*
17:33 Actually, you were able to do the same thing in Going Commando too, except it took 2 taps of the Triangle button and it could only go to the last weapon used before, not the one before that.
You can do that in the first title, too; 3 simply added the cycling between 3 last used items, not just 2, and also lets you see your queue.
@@andreapareti324 Is there ever a moment in 1 or 2 where that's explicitly said? Might be why relatively few people know.
@@aldebaran2643 No, I don't think it's explicitly said anywhere in those games; there *might* be something about it somewhere in one of the menus and/or in the manual, but there's no help pop-up for it like in 3.
ratchet 3 is in my opinion the best ratchet & clank game on ps2 and one of the best games of all time
this game is just the holy grail of the ps2 and a must own game on ps2 owners
after watching "the golden bolt" retrospactive i really respect insomniac for making this game, they really work hard in this game so much they lost a lot of team members for high impact games and they scared to make this game the worst game in insomniac history.
i got a lot of memories from this game this is the only ratchet game from the ps2 era titles i completed 100% and i got a multi-tap just because me and my friends play a lot of the multiplayer.
as a ratchet & clank fan it used to be my favorite game in the franchise but its still in my top 3 ratchet & clank games, rift apart is number 2 just because its the game thats make me happy to be a ratchet & clank fan after all the horrible ps4 movie tie-in game and my favorite in the franchise is tools of destruction and thats because its the game thats make me stay on team playstation after most of my favorite franchises from ps1 & ps2 turn to multi-platform titles on xbox 360.
Yeah, ok, but did you play 2?
@@aldebaran2643 ratchet & clank 2 was my first ps2 game so yes I played going commando. I’ve played all the games in the franchise even going mobile, before the nexus and playstation move heroes.
Going commando is a good sequel if you compare it with super mario bros 2, sonic 2, zelda 2, sly 2, jak 2 or even mega man 2 I honestly gonna say ratchet & clank going commando is the best sequel to a first game in any franchise the gameplay is amazing much better than ratchet 1 but the reason why I don’t see it as the best ratchet & clank game on ps2 or even overall it’s because the story is really rush and weak it’s not the worst thing in the franchise (still think the psp games, ffa and the ps4 movie tie-in game are much worst written games than going commando ) but next to the stories of ratchet 1, 3 and deadlocked is the weakest.
Your Hollowguise guess is correct that’s why when I realized that problem in 3 I speed ran all the way there in like 2 hours, maybe less.
FOR REAL!! I just randomly pressed all the triggers and bumpers and I landed in the Sly 2 demo and that was a godsend to me as a child.
I also loved the Quark games and I'd eat popcorn while I watched my brother play like watching a movie.
For the online mode, the fans are trying to revive the online mode of R&C 3 and deadlocked, deadlocked's server is already back up and all it require is to put a specific DNS servers and you can play online again (tho there are mostly hardcore player that are really experimented and few casuals)
UYA is back online it just doesnt have custom content like DL
@@FunkyPanda1 yeh, should had precise its still in like beta
P.S: damn what a small world
My favorite will always be the original game because of how much I love the style it had (in terms of story, character designs, planet designs and music), but man, the third game sure gives it one hell of a run for its money, I got R&C 3 right after R&C 1 (maybe this plays a major factor as to why I prefer them both so much over the second game) and I instantly fell in love with it, unlike the first game, where it was an adventure into the unknown for me and I had to learn to love it as I was approaching the later half of it, I think in general the first 4 games of this series are absolutely brilliant, each of them has very obvious strengths, they also have some weaknesses, but thankfully each entry covers for the other, also, I think your comparison of R&C to Crash Bandicoot in terms of how each series evolved is spot on, Crash 3, just like R&C3 is the ultimate experience of the series imo.
I just recently got into the Ratchet series.
Well, that's a hollow lie, actually I first played Ratchet 1 in 2015 and completed it in early 2016 (the PS3 version. I know, I know.). I started Ratchet 2, but quickly put it down though I did note that it was improved over the original. Recently I replayed Ratchet 1 and even Platinum'd it and went for Ratchet 2. While the gameplay improvements were hard not to notice, I wasn't so keen on the story, it didn't feel as well done as in Ratchet 1 and after I beat 2, I decided not to go for its platinum trophy and contemplated just stopping there and playing Ratchet 3 some other time.
I'm sure glad I didn't.
Ratchet 3 is just so unbelievably freaking good and I'm saying that as a person who has less than zero nostalgia for it. The gameplay? Great. The story? Gives us memorable characters and hilarious moments. The missions and the pacing? SO well done. I enjoyed my time with Ratchet 1 well enough and recognized it as a good game, but that was about it. I recognized the gameplay improvements in Ratchet 2, but thought the story was a bit of a letdown (Ratchet's writing in particular). Ratchet 3? Yeah, I think I'm becoming a fan of the series now. I'll definitely be picking up Deadlocked and the PS3 titles, that's for certain.
How did you like deadlocked?
@@canontheory It was good! It wasn't like amazing or anything, but I had a rad time with it. Platinum'd it too.
My favorite game in the series, just hits the spot
The Starship Phoenix has a small arena area on board. It is also the same location you go to when testing out new weapons. The challenge roster isn't as big as either ones from R&C2 but it does have a few of them. As the large majority of the arena challenges got dumped in AA instead. Which you go to a few times in the story. Helga tells you about it after you escort Quark to his holding pen.
this one was probably my favorite of the three.. but then again i always end up changing that whenever i start thinking about em.. love em all :)
I just wish that Insomniac had stuck with their original intention to name the co-op game "Multiple Organisms". Ah well, at least the platinum trophy was called "4 Play".
REALLY love your content! I watch your Sonic content religiously, but now I’ve gotten into the Justice League show, plan to play the back catalogue of Ratchet and Clank, as well as Sly Cooper! Keep up the great stuff!
My older brother actually played Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal around my age. I was very young in the early 2000s, so I sadly never had the fortune to play the game, since I never saw the game, because I was interested in playing the other games I had for my ps2. Surprisingly, all these years later, I found the game box for UYA, but the disk itself isn’t in the box. It might be in another game box, so until then, I probably won’t get the chance to play this game in some time. I’m always loving to see your reviews about this franchise, so I’m definitely gonna stick around for those
I am surprised that you didn't mention the insoniac museum. I don't know about you, but I found myself enjoying the museum.
Loved this game.
In game franchises, the second game _sometimes_ refines the formula the first game set up (Super Mario Lost Levels, Mega Man 2, Ninja Gaiden 2, Dragon Quest 2) but _sometimes_ it's about getting wild and experimental (Zelda 2: Adventure of Link, Super Mario USA, Final Fantasy 2) only for the third game to be a massive refinement of the first with perhaps some small elements from the second integrated (Zelda 2 was the first Zelda game to use a magic meter for spells and the first to have towns instead of standalone hint givers and shops hidden in small caves scattered haphazardly around the overworld).
There is an exploit, in using the shock Cannon at lvl 5, where it’s charge beam can sweep enemies from any direction, so long as the frame is still up that is. Using the normal controls to move around does help especially if enemies appear behind, so spastically doing 360’s benefit, even more especially when it’s costing a chunk of your ammo, it’ll definitely spare some bolts going to the vendor, or the PDA
The ps2 online servers for ratchet 3 and deadlock have been revived by the fans
Yeah, FunkyPanda posted 2 comments in this comment section.
@@aldebaran2643 I also upload gameplay of desdlocked online :)
You should have also talked about the boss fights but anyways this is a video I really liked as it brought back memories
rewatching these videos after so long, I got to the part of the flux rifle in lock strafe mode and wanted to mention that for some reason, if you use it while zoomed in, it does double the damage. To my knowledge, this does not apply to the snipers in going commando or deadlocked.
Ratchet and clank 3 humor is the best in the franchise
Eh, 2 and Deadlocked were more better imo.
@@aldebaran2643 I think 3 is better imo
I rememeber the level where the starship gets raided being crazy hard
I see nobody talking David Bergeaud's work ... what a shame
I could never beat the game because once you reach the final Planet the game froze. I was so sad, but I do remember loving the game.
Lmao no final planet for you 😂
The fact that this game also had the balls to tackle issues like racial prejudice is just another reason to love it.
I mean, think about it. It's implied by Nefarious that robots are the oppressed minority in this universe and he wants revenge on the "squishies" (a possible racial slur) for the mistreatment of his race. Yet ironically, by doing this, he only comes off as a prejudiced hypocrite.
Maybe I'm digging too deep, but damn. There's a reason why these games are still considered relevant to this day. The mature undertones go way deeper than the sexual innuendos.
I used to play the multiplayer mode with my friends when I was younger and it was great
Ah yes! First video game I ever beat
27:11 Holy crap, how did I ignore that dialogue? 💀
That was Klunk.
27:53 even find a way to go back in time before ratchet and clank 2016 to pre order the game so you could use the bouncer in that game
29:29 I’m pretty sure that there’s a big rock for you to stand on where you won’t get hit by the annoying nefarious clones
Wait, WHAT? Quark was Dr. Nefarious?! That...wow. that makes his archnemesis being CAPATIN Quark just becomes so much better!
I loved the Robo costume in this game, with the lightsaber cheat, id pretend I was playing a 3D MegaMan style games with all the unique guns.
27:10 I just love Klunks Line there xD
