    Words can not express on how amazing this game is. One of the best OST's in gaming. Creative futuristic weapons and great characters. A great bonus re-play ability after you beat the game too.

    I don't think it's really fair to consider the two low votes for this game in the average. In fact, go ahead and don't consider two high votes as well because then you will get a good idea of how good this game is. This is easily a 94 or 95 score game that has been tanked by two publications that cannot accept or understand it. I, like others before me, give it a 10 . . .

There are meatier weapons like the Lava Gun and the Bouncer to play with and fun to use. New gadgets like the Electrolyzer and the Infiltrator make up for some interesting mini-games to get through a locked door or raising a bridge. I also like the plot although the first one's plot is better. I also didn't like the final boss although altogether, this game has better boss battles than the first game. There is also added RPG elements to the game where with daily usage of a weapon, you can upgrade it to a more powerful version of that weapon which is a nice touch. The game can get hard towards the end of the game that can become annoying. However, Ratchet and Clank: Locked and Loaded is a fantastic game that everyone who loved Ratchet and Clank will enjoy.… Expand

    I PLAYED THIS GAME IN A DEMO DISC I GOT FROM WAL-MART. IT WAS LIKE $5.OO. IT IS THE DEMO DISC DOR WINTER 2003.
    ANYWAY,
    FROM THE DEMO, THIS GAME LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BE THE BEST THING SINCE SLICED BREAD. THE GRAPHICS ARE STUNNING AND THE WEAPONS ARE INCREDIBLE. BASICALLY, THE GAME IS BLOWING SHIT UP WITH A STORYLINE. IT ROCKS.

Cant wait for more titles in this series. Insomniac has ALWAYS impressed me. Spyro 1,2 and 3 blew me away and i STILL play them to this day. This series is the same.

And no, the first game didn't have any of these. Enemy A.I. has been increased, when a nearby enemy has been hit, they stop what they're doing and scan the area. Some board other enemies or go to a turret and require you to use the correct strategies and guns to beat them, and using your ratchet as a last resort. With that said, the game gets more difficult as you progress. But, you get newer weapons, armor, and life to help you out. Much different that the last one. Bolts increase and weapon crates decrease as you progress. The new RPG style may be the best part of this sequel. You gain expansions to you health bar with the more enemies you defeat. The more you use weapons, the closer they get to evolving into even better weapons. And MODs can be bought for these weapons! The engine is also wonderful. Whether you're exploring a spherical planet or fighting 4 missle-launching enemies, there is little to no slowdown. Uniforturnatly, the graphics look virtually like the previous game. Going Commando delivers all the fun of a Platformer and the deepness of an RPG into one awesome package. Buy now.… Expand

    After the original Ratchet and Clank was a brilliant game, there was bound to be a sequel. Ratchet and Clank 2: Locked and Loaded (Going Commando in US) is not only the best game on the PlayStation 2, it's the best game ever made. The story continues from the first game, and you start the game working for Abercrombie Fizzwidget, trying to kill the Thugs-4-Less crew and stop the productionAfter the original Ratchet and Clank was a brilliant game, there was bound to be a sequel. Ratchet and Clank 2: Locked and Loaded (Going Commando in US) is not only the best game on the PlayStation 2, it's the best game ever made. The story continues from the first game, and you start the game working for Abercrombie Fizzwidget, trying to kill the Thugs-4-Less crew and stop the production of deadly but cute creatures called Protopets. The whole campaign is full of great humour and funny moments, Captain Qwark being particularly the funniest character. You start on cool weapons that become even cooler by upgrades, turning them into more powerful weapons with 'Heavy' put in front of their name. (Lancer becomes Heavy Lancer) Once you finish the game, you can buy even more powerful versions of your weapons with 'Mega' or 'Ultra' put in front of their name. The game is generally challenging, but not in a frustrating way. You actually know that you failed for a reason (unlike Flappy Bird) and can try again to get better. For the time (2003), the graphics look very good (better than the first) and look even better in the recently released Ratchet and Clank Trilogy. The sound effects are fun and memorable, and the same goes for the excellent music soundtrack. There is an area in the game, Planet Joba, which has Megacorp Games, a place where you face off against waves of enemies and bosses, under certain restrictions. Another area has Hoverbike Racing to take part in. Both of these areas are great fun, and they control very well too (just like the rest of the game). Several segments of the game have you playing as Clank, Ratchet's robot companion. In his missions, you do more of the same platforming that Ratchet does, but certain doors or jump pads require help from other robot friends you find throughout his missions. After you complete all objectives on Planet Dobbo, a small teleporter to a battle will unlock, where you play as a massive Clank trying to destroy a massive version of a boss. Other sections include spaceship battles, where you get to a new area, but have to fight off the enemy forces in flight. All planets are available to explore at any time during the game. You can also customise your ship at Slim Cognito's Ship Shack, where you can give your ship a different nose model or change the style of paint on it. Once you complete the game, you can do it again in Challenge Mode, where you go through the game as normal, but you keep all of your weapons and have the ability to buy Mega and Ultra weapons, as mentioned before. All weapons are very creative, including one that turns enemies into sheep. You always have your signature wrench. My favourite weapon is also the most overpowered one, the RYNO 2. Puzzles are a chunk of the game too, and they're quite frustrating but very satisfying and fun. There are a few Easter Eggs as well, the most noticeable one being Ratchet playing the first Ratchet and Clank game on the start screen, while Clank reads a book. However, there is another secret which is a button code for a demo of Sly Cooper. Overall, Ratchet and Clank 2: Locked and Loaded/Going Commando is the best game of the 2000s, the best game on the PS2, and most importantly, the best game ever made (in my opinion). It has an entertaining story, great controls and gameplay, good graphics, funny humour and characters, plenty of reasons to finish it a second time in Challenge Mode, and tons of things to do besides the main story.… Expand

    This game did what a sequel should do... Improve on everything. It has better graphics, better gameplay and a better story. If you liked the first game, then your going to love this one. If you didn't like the first one, then you might not like this one that much since even with all it's improvements, it's still just more of the same.

    All joking aside, oh my good god this game is something else. Literally everything wrong with its predecessor has been reworked into something truly beautiful. The guns are some of the best that this series has seen yet (and as a series with a heavy emphasis on gunplay, that's saying something). One of the best parts is that the best weapons aren't your "typical" weapons. An issue with a lot of Ratchet games is that the most efficient weapons are ones that draw parallels to real life guns, like rocket launchers, machine guns, shotguns, and what-have-you. Ratchet and Clank 2 doesn't suffer from this issue; while those weapons are there, they can't hold a candle to the weapons you get later in the game, like a glove that throws out automated turrets that fire lasers at enemies, a gun that fires out a searing hot ball of plasma that shocks nearby enemies and explodes upon impact, a gun that shoots out molten lava, a grenade launcher which launches one large bomb that explodes and releases tons of smaller bombs; so many creative ideas for weapons, it's ridiculous.

    As well as regular gunplay, there's also bike racing (which is like Mario Kart except fun), space combat (with numerous missions and excellent controls, as well as an upgradable ship), and Clank levels (where you send your robot companion Clank through short RTS-like levels). The presentation is excellent, too, featuring memorable levels like a space casino, a warehouse floating in the sky, a weapons factory overrun with mutant squirrels, and a chemical factory, and a delightful soundtrack that has many different genres of music to it.    … Expand

    Can't decide which is better this one or 3. This being the more original one with the most new ideas I'll have to give it to this one. The games are just fun they aren't attempting to be ultra realistic or ground breaking there main focus is for the player to have a good time with the great humour, colourful graphics, array of weapons and mini games in the world.

    Going Commando is just pure destructive platforming fun with cool weapons, enjoyable puzzles and great originality. It's also full of fun humor. I wouldn't recommend this to younger players, though, because it's actually a difficult game. I wish checkpoints and save points were a lot more frequent. And the spaceship battles suck. Otherwise, a great effort.

    The second instalment of the Ratchet and Clank series manages to even improve on its awesome predecessor. The game adds the vital abilities to strafe and upgrade weapons, innovations that would go on to dominate the gameplay of Ratchet and Clank games to come for years. Whilst the story isn't quite as gripping, it's improved gameplay is impossible to ignore.

    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 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

Por ultimo, los minijuegos… Son muy aburridos, al igual que el primer juego. La historia tampoco tiene mucho chiste.

In fact I actually enjoyed all of the characters in this game. I found the Thugs-4-Less guys to especially hilarious.

    Weapons in this game have much more of a variety in this game and there are more of them. My favorite of which is the Chopper where you throw ninja stars and they ricochet everywhere (very satisfying and flashy).

    The weapons also can be upgraded in this game by killing enemies. (Upgrading in this game basically gives you a new more powerful version of the original.) Not only that, but now you can add modifications to your weapons.

    Also, you can buy a few weapons from the original (mostly the ones that doesn't have a similar weapon in GC. For e.x. you can't buy the Blaster because of the Lancer). The weapons that you bought in the original are free as long as you have the game saved to the same memory card.

    Clank moves much faster in this game and the puzzles don't really slow down the game mostly because of the new gimmicky robot helpers. You can have much more health in this game with maximum of 75 (I believe) versus 8 in the original. Strafing also now thankfully exists. And the OST has much more of a variety to it this time around.

    The Bad: The Hoverbike races try to feel like there own game versus the simplistic feeling of the Hoverboard races. Which somehow makes it feel less because it isn't good enough to be sold on it's own. There are many more ship battles which I don't think I've liked in any game not just R&C. The planets' globes mostly all look the same and similar to Earth's actual globe.

    The Hoverbomb Gun doesn't really work properly. You're supposed to hold O to move Hoverbomb, but without it going into first person it just feels awkward. It actually sort of reminds me of the 2nd player in the Shadow the Hedgehog video game.

    But, my least favorite weapon has to be the Lava Gun. The Lava Gun has a very generic name (compared to everything else) and it is very weak and the range didn't really work for me. I tried to upgrade it to the Meteor Gun (to see if it was any better), but it didn't upgrade fast enough for me and it just wasn't really fun/easy to use. So, I gave up on it.

    It also seems as though the original game's weapons were made weaker in this game. That could just be that the enemies are harder because you can upgrade weapons in this game, but I don't really know. The puzzles were actually pretty confusing/annoying.

    -Wonderful and exotic worlds, favorites of mine include: Todano, Boldan, Damosel, Maktar Resort, Endako, Tabora and many more!
    - Not too easy, but not too hard either.
    - R.Y.N.O II is THE BEST!
    - Carbonox Armor looks so badass!
    - Clank sections includes new Gadgebots and i love em!
    - Thugs-4-Less went on to become one of my top ten favorite video game enemies.
    - Hooverbike is so much more fun than Hooverboard, albeit abit simpler, but whatevs.

    ­CONS:
    - The flying sections can be quite annoying until you get access to Ship upgrades.
    - Little backtracking compared to the previous game.
    - Have very few memorable Boss Battles.

    Going Commando is a fantastic RaC games and one of my personal Favorite Four in the whole franchise. It has a few shortcomings, but none of them are much of a bother to me.    … Expand

    Considerably harder than the first Ratchet and Clank. However, it's still great fun.

    Uno de mis juegos favoritos de todos los tiempos. Tiene una jugabilidad extremadamente adictica que lo vuelve un juego muy divertido. Tiene mucha variedad de armas para el gusto de todos, tanto de corta como de larga distancia. Posee un tono humorístico muy divertido y a veces algo ácido. Y posee un buen rendimiento para ser un juego de PS2.

    The best Ratchet game. Other entries don't come close to the weapon and gameplay variety.

    Pretty good game where you would like to come back very often. The only minus - sometimes R&C 2 becomes too difficult.

    Once you start this one you'll have a hard time putting it down - I found myself playing longer just to see the next weapon upgrade I'd get - it's like Christmas all over again!

    I don’t think you have to be into platformer’s to enjoy this game which shows how much depth it offers - liked the first one? You’ll love the second!

    The controls, the learning curve, the difficulty, and the story all make this game possible to be enjoyed by gamers of almost any age without feeling overwhelmed or underwhelmed. I seriously can't say enough good things about this game.
