   The first Ratchet and Clank game was a beauty that folks were unsure Insomniac would be able to top. Then Going Commando came out and blewThe first Ratchet and Clank game was a beauty that folks were unsure Insomniac would be able to top. Then Going Commando came out and blew everybody's minds. It does everything the first did, but better, and with more. As well as fixes some of the issues the original had. The game now pauses when using the weapon wheel, so you're not open to cheap shots while switching weapons. Ratchet's double jump feels a lot more acrobatic and carries a lot more momentum than it did in the first game. Both Ratchet and the camera move a lot quicker this time around so everything is just so much smoother now. And the real godsend among all of these improvements is the implementation of straving. Graphically it's improved too. With bigger worlds and a more bombastic soundtrack. Enemies have also been beefed up, but it's okay because so have your weapons. They're much bigger, louder, and more destructive than the first game could ever hope to be. And you have more of them too! And if you have an R&C1 save, you get a few of the weapons from the first game for free, which is a sweet bonus. But I'm not done yet. Insomniac threw in some RPG elements which now allows you to gain experience with every kill so you can upgrade your health and weapons to be able to consistently stand up to the enemies which grow tougher and tougher with every planet. And there are a lot of planets in this game. When weapons upgrade, their destructive power can become beyond comprehension, and using the platinum bolts that are scattered throughout the levels, you can mod them. That way they can effectively cause damage in more ways than one. By half way through the third act of this game, you feel like a badass leaving a trail of smoldering hot wreckage in your wake wherever you go. There are around four major difficulty spikes at major parts points in the game that if noobs don't buy armor, they're gonna find difficult to handle. Of course if you feel tough, you can prove your manhood by attempting a no-armor run. Mad respect if you accomplish said feat. The gadgets make a return too and do just as good of a job at mixing up gameplay as they did in Ratchet and Clank 1. Also making an appearance in this game is what Insomniac calls "maxi games" they're like mini games. Only on a scale that's anything but mini. You got adrenaline pumped hoverbike racing, intense spaceship battles which you can trick out your ride to perform better and better in, giant Clank sections which were also in R&C1 in which you can duke it out with gigantic bosses, and grueling arena battles which throw wave after wave of enemies for you to mercilessly slaughter to your heart's content. All of these award you more bolts to buy more stuff to make yourself that much more destructive. Everything in this game feels like it's on such a huge scale, and there's just so much to do in it. Throw in the more puzzle / strategy based Clank sections and glider sections along with the two sandbox worlds and all the other things the game offers for you to do, and you have a package that is practically bursting at the seems with content. And it doesn't even stop there because in Challenge Mode (new game plus) you can purchase mega versions of your upgraded weapons so you can upgrade them AGAIN to make them EVEN MORE devastating against the enemies that now in challenge mode are EVEN MORE vicious! The game is unrelenting in throwing every single little thing it has at you, and if you manage to complete it 100% it has one of the sweetest bonus features ever. The Insomniac Museum, in which you can view and play around with cut content from the first and second game, as well as learn a thing or two about their development cycle. You can even access the testing level, like how sweet is all of this?! Insomniac set the bar with Ratchet and Clank, and then proceeded to shatter that bar with Going Commando in a way few sequels are able to do. Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando is a game with so much content, so much replay value, as well as a story, (holy **** I forgot to mention the story) that twists and turns quite a few times and actually throws you for a few loops, which is more than I can say for R&C1. And with more characters that play bigger more involved roles, returning favorites, your feel like your a part of something bigger the whole time. The writing is witty with a focus on comedy. It comes out to be quite the biting satire on consumerism which the early R&C games eventually become known for. With all of these things packed on one singular DVD, Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando is guaranteed to rip you a new one. 10/10… Expand
