Recensione di Bungle-9

This game was direly renamed in the UK to "Ratchet and Clank 2: Locked and Loaded", but I simply refuse to call it by that. This is a very well put together, humorous game (much like the previous installment) and has tons of neat little things about it and a good element of re-playability. In-jokes, funny dialogue and a few references to other games such as Jak and Daxter give this game a comic edge that keeps you interested. It must be said that the references can only be really appreciated by people that have actually played the games they are spoofing...

The graphics aren't all that different from the last game, in fact it's pretty much the same with a few minor tweaks, but hey, if it ain't broken don't fix it! The idea of you leveling up (like in RPG games) to increase your health was a good move, but even better was the idea to get your weapons to level up to become bigger and better. Other little extras like the arena games, the bike races and the fact that you can import the weapons from the first game make this title all the more enjoyable.

This game is challenging and often frustrating, although not without reward. The ending put me off a little bit - it didn't feel really conclusive enough after all that effort. Take my advice, play the first game before you play this to fully "get it". Then play this. Then get Ratchet and Clank 3 when it comes out.
