This time the Lombax isnt wearing underwear.
The game is a platformer but with shooting in the mix. This run and gun platforming works very well, we've seen how good this works in the first game. The second game however, expands this making it even better. Now each gun you obtain has levels. When the gun gains a level it become more powerful and carries more ammo. Ratchet also gains level increasing his health. Along with the platforming, there are space ship missions. In these missions youre in your space ship gunning down enimies ships. Its not an on rails mission either you have total control of the space ship in a 3 dimensional plane. your also able to play as ratchet who uses tiny robots to do his dirty work. So anyway the storyline as you looking for someone who stole this firby looking alien kids toy. Later on there are some plot twist. But the main thing is you go from planet to planet, in your space ship (you dont have to fly when you go to another planet it shows you a little cut scene). Each planet as a number of mission objectives. The difficulty is a little harder in this game also. Enemies are much more difficult towards the end and they come in greater numbers too. This gives you a greater emphisis to use your guns more often then other games. Besides more guns Ratchet also has more gadgets thatn the previous game which also help out alot.
The Graphics are, bright and colorful, everything runs smoothly in the game. All the smoke and firing from the guns look nice, and the background of the cities show tons of futuristic cars. Cut scenes are also very well done.
Voice Acting is also very good, the cut-scenes are very funny because of them. Sometimes when movie from planet to planet little cutscenes pop up on space ship's tv. Usually little commericals with some funny dialouge advertising a product which when they test it on the commerical something goes horribly wrong. Its all very funny. The characters voice all sound good and feel like they make the character too.
This game is much longer then the original it took me about 17 Hours and 50 minutes to complete. There are also a ton of easter eggs like the insomniac museum which you can visit if youre up really late (or change your systems internal clock). This area is pretty much a test area and shows vechiles and things on display. there are also funny cheat codes that you can unlock.
If youre looking for a good platformer then Ratchet and Clank Going Commando just might be it. I think its the best out of the other two big sony platformers (sly cooper, and Jak and daxter). Going Commando is probably the best in the series expanding more on the gun formula that made the last game so good.
