Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando (known as Ratchet & Clank: Locked & Loaded in Europe, Australia and New Zealand) was released on November 11, 2003 in North America for the PlayStation 2. Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando was the first Western game to be bundled in with the PlayStation 2 hardware in Japan, but there were a few changes made to make it more popular. Ratchet's eyes are more of an anime style, and he was given large eyebrows. This game uses the 'leveling' system that appears in every other game. Rather than collecting platinum bolts to upgrade weapons to more powerful, Platinum Varieties, Weapons have nanobot technology that, after gaining enough experience, causes them to evolve into a more powerful form with new abilities. These nanobots also apply to Ratchet, and his health will increase once his own personal experience rises high enough. Going Commando also introduced regular strafing to gameplay, whereas Ratchet could only strafe with the thruster pack, and he would only hover in the first game. Plus, Instead of an improbable "bomb glove" like in the first one, the game uses a bazooka-like gun which shoots bombs. The game takes place in a different setting than the first installment, this time in the Bogon Galaxy. In Going Commando Ratchet competes in hoverbike races and engages in spaceship battles. The story in this chapter has Megacorp boss, Abercrombie Fizzwidget, hire Ratchet and Clank to retrieve the "protopet", a new invention stolen by a masked thief. The duo retrieve the protopet and confront the thief, but "he" turns out to be a female, Angela, who helps them investigate the protopet's true origins. They find out Abercrombie Fizzwidget is Captain Qwark in disguise and he created the protopet to spread disaster across the galaxy. He plans to frame Ratchet, Clank and Angela, and then destroy the original protopet to restore his reputation as a hero. Qwark then films himself attempting to "cure" the original protopet using a device made by Angela. The device backfires, and turns the protopet into a huge mutant monster that the duo will have to defeat as a final boss.Vollständige Rezension lesen
It is what it is, a platforming game where you shoot enemies with lots of different weapons. At least that's the gist of it. But don't expect to see a story that can match the greatest novels or inspire you. It has a compelling enough story for you to progress, but that's about it. Bare bones story-telling, fast-paced gameplay.

The case had a hole on the bottom left, and the video game instructions were not included. When putting in the game the first time, it did not work. It didn't work the second time either, but when I cleaned it a bit, it finally worked. Hopefully, I won't experience that problem again. But so far, the game runs fine.

I thought that Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando was a game that tied very well into the whole series and it contained plenty of missions to do to keep you occupied. It had a good story line that was easy to follow and the characters interacted well. Overall I would suggest this series to anyone who likes good adventure games, possibly like these other series: Jak and Daxter, Spyro, Sly Cooper, and Crash Bandicoot.
I have completed the first Ratchet & Clank completely, and I really wanted to continue the series. I found a complete copy for $6! I got it, I'm pretty far in the game right now, and it is very good! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Get the first one, too.

The original Ratchet & Clank Trilogy still holds up as a staple of the platforming genre! The weapons are fantastic, the movement is smooth for the era, the score is phenomenal, & the humor still tickles my funny bone! If you've got a PS2 I'd highly recommend hunting down the original games. They may not be as graphically polished as the HD collection on PS3, but it's hard to beat nostalgia, & the original's refinement on PS2. While red label games aren't as favorable for a collection, it's far easier to find copies with beautiful disc, manual, and case conditions.

Ratchet & Clank is one of my favorite video game franchises and Insomniac Games is one of my favorite game developers. So I needed Going Commando in my library. The weapons are hilariously satisfying to use and the humor is funny.

The Ratchet & Clank sequel shows this series has a permenant place in gaming. It's even better than the original and that is really good. The controls are improved, graphics are still great, and there are so many more things to do thanks to arena combat and spherical worlds to play around with. Oh and Giant Clank is back and better than ever. And the guns are back and bigger. That's what this is really all about, right? Upgradeable weapons increase power just by using them and you will have to use them a lot to get maximized capabilities. There are several side quests to keep you busy besides the single player campaign and you will want to play this more than once to find all the secrets. This is a true gem and a must have game. 5/5
I just recently discovered the awesomeness of this saga and Ratchet & Clank Going Commando doesn't disappoint! This second fun filled adventure takes Ratchet & Clank on a mission thats bigger and better than the first. Better graphics and a new "Ratchet" attitude makes this game well worth the money. With hoverbike racing & ship battles, the ability to destroy more stuff that makes Ratchet stronger and your weapons bigger and better you can't go wrong. Ratchet's spaceship can also be modified to your specifications as well. The story takes place with a Megacorp boss, Abercrombie Fizzwidget that hires Ratchet and Clank to retrieve the "protopet" stolen.. Ratchet & Clank find the protopet and confront the thief but he turns out to be a girl named Angela who helps them find out the protopet's true origins. They find out the Megacorp boss is Captain Qwark in disguise. You have to play the game to find out the rest of the story! Like I said Ratchet & Clank Going Commando will never disappoint.Vollständige Rezension lesen
Second of the Ratchet & Clank PS2 games. This one is by far the best. Ratchet and Clank are recruited to recover the stolen "proto-pet" experiment, only to discover that things are not as they seem. Many excellent levels and tasks. Two hoverbike race courses, a variety of grind rails, fantastic graphics, and a wonderful variety of new weapons and gadgets -- plus you get to keep your old gear from the first Ratchet & Clank game if you've played it. The weapons upgrade as you use them, and many of them are worth the effort to upgrade (the spider-bot is the best, trust me). They story line is fun and the characters are great. This one is by far the best of the Ratchet & Clank games for the PS2
