I got Ratchet Deadlocked a few days ago, it's a bit diffrent from the other Ratchet and clank games. Clank gets some time off and in place Ratchet gets to AI bots to help him out. Basically in gameplay terms the goofy gadgets and platforming is left out so we can have more action. The basic story is Ratchet is kidnapp by a man named Vox and is forced to fight in gladiator matches, the game pokes fun of Stephen Kings running man. You don't get has many wepaons but what you do get our useful and can be modded to make them your own. Acid mods will lower enemies helath while freezing mods will allow your weapons to freeze enemies and you can mod on the fly. Weapons also level up while you battle. Graphics our gorgerous for a PS2 game and Ratchet and the crew our animated beatifully. There is some slow down. In the end Ratchet Deadlocked isen't has good has other Ratchet games but it's still pretty good.Read full review
Insomniac Games brings back one of its most beloved characters, Ratchet, in RATCHET: DEADLOCKED for the PS2. Although more of the focus is on combat instead of the traditional platform action, Deadlocked still plays similar to the previous RATCHET AND CLANK games. RATCHET: DEADLOCKED begins shortly after the end of RATCHET AND CLANK: Up your Arsenal. The three heroes, Ratchet, Clank, and mechanic Al, have just finished their latest mission when they are captured by galactic villain Gleeman Vox. Vox plans to use the heroes as part of his reality TV arena show, Dreadzone, where heroes are forced to fight each other to the end. The major difference in RATCHET: DEADLOCKED is that Clank is no longer on Ratchet's back. Instead, he will occasionally supply Ratchet with a necessary gadget. This takes out many of the platformer elements of the series, leaving Ratchet to mostly battle his way through the eleven different Dreadzone levels with the help of two combat bots. Gamers can find a number of different weapons and gadgets throughout the game, including the incredibly destructive Harbinger gun. The more Ratchet uses a particular weapon, the more powerful it will become. Several different vehicles are also available. In addition to the main storyline, players can also compete in a number of Dread challenges on each level, complete side tasks, collect skill points, and battle each other in a number of different multiplayer modes. RATCHET: DEADLOCKED has many extras to keep players battling against the evil Vox for hours.Read full review
We love the Ratchet and Clank series of games. They're all high-quality, well-thought, and well-produced games. The latest, "Deadlocked", is no exception. Deadlocked changes the tradional paradigm of the Ratchet series, in that you do not collect hidden bolts (like Gold bolts, Platinum bolts, etc.), and there is little or no "exploration and adventure" to the game. You solve problems, fight off the baddies, and collect experience (a real plus held over from the previous games). You also have the new ability to choose overall difficulty level (like "Couch Potato" or "Exterminator"). This can be changed at any time by loading a saved game and making a choice. This is a nice feature for families (like ours) who have gamers of diverse ability. Overall, it is a great game - a worthy addition to the franchise. The animated cartoon violence is no more or less that previous games, there is no profanity (not that I heard, anyway), and the character development story is interesting. The commentary from the game's "announcers" can be annoying at times, but can be turned off ("Juanita, since Ratchet is a tough cookie, I wonder what kind of cookie he would be? I'm going with Snickerdoodles." )Read full review
This latest Ratchet game is wel done. Though it doesn't quite follow the game type lines of the first 3, but the way this one is still set up is still well-done. Imagine yourself as a futuristic gladiator, and you have many weapons at your disposal. That adrenaline pumping action is just what it is like in DEADLOCKED. You have a good amount of weapons at your disposal, and you can upgrade, upgrade, upgrade, upgrade; get the hint. You take control of Omega Mods and Alpha mods to customize your favorite weapon. Like when you have the dual Raptors, you can have 1 Jackpot mod and all ammo mods if you wanted to. Or, if want the Fusion rifle to have all the aim mods and 1 Jackpot mod, go right ahead if you can. The last weapon, THE HARBINGER, is also a customizable weapon. Vehicle wise you have 3: Stalker, Hovership,and Puma. Plus in single player, your 2 robot dudes. The hover ship is almost like the 3rd and 2nd, but "tricked out". These are repairable at certain vehicle pods. Online, single player, and Co-op are all fantastic. Pro's- Mentioned above Con's- robot friends can be dumb at times. The mega-weapons upgrade a bit too fast( about 2-3 kills) Controls need a getting used to.Read full review
I bought this product because I have played the other rachet and clank games. I enjoyed playing the other games and this one to. It is a great addition to the series. There are many weapons to choice from but what makes this game different from the others is that you can customize your weapons. Being able to do this and upgrade your battle bots, another new feature, makes the game worth playing at least twice. Here however is where the game looses points. It is just to short. If you have played pervious Rachet and Clank games then you will probally beat it in a weekend. The replay value is good though so I most certainly recommend it.
