Product Description
In Ratchet & Clank 2, the two unlikely pals team up again for an all-new sci-fi adventure combining action-platform, exploration, adventure, puzzle-solving, strategy, role-playing and racing into one compelling experience resulting in plenty of explosions and devastation.
Mr Smiles, the head of Megacorp, has come up with a fantastic new product! It's a super – cute creature called the "Protopet" which he wants to sell to every house in the galaxy. When the prototype is stolen, Mr Smiles hires in Ratchet and Clank to help him get it back. Slowly they begin to realise that maybe the thief isn't necessarily in the wrong, and maybe the Protopet isn't quite as sweet and innocent as it seems... It's all going to go horribly wrong and only Ratchet and Clank can put it right and find out who's really behind all the mayhem.

I wasn't happy
 Reviewed by Luke on April 11th, 2005
For some reason i enjoyed this game less than the original. Here's what I enjoyed.
The leveling up of the weapons. If you used weapons enough, they leveled up making them stronger.
Space battles. While these were easy, they provided a change to the running/shooting gameplay.
The Arena battles and racing were good but got quite tiresome near the end of the game.
I did not like the actual gameplay though. At the end of the game enemies have annoying amounts of health and you just have to chew slowly through them. The last two planets I just chucked on a shield and jogged past all the enemies. I was bored and wanted to see the outcome which was disapointing.
I would suggest buying Jak II to be honest. People say you should get both but this isn't as good.
Another Great PS2 Platformer!!!

There has been many heated debates about which is better, Jak & Daxter or Ratchet & Clank. The answer is simple, BOTH. However, since this is a review of R&C2, I will explain why this game is so great.
First off, if you havnt played the first game in this series, there is no real need. The two stories are completly unrelated and the controls and interface of the game are easy to learn.
You can blast, destroy, annihilate and nuke anything and everything you want, and while that might sound a tad violent to all the parents reading this considering whether this is an appropriate addition to their childs arsenal of console software, all the violence in the game is exhibited in a comic/half-hearted fashion (as opposed to games that take it more seriously, ala Grand Theft Auto).
In this game, story comes second to gameplay. The story isnt bad, just simple (which makes it a better purchase for the young ones than Jak2 would be). The gameplay is where the game really shines. Youll just have so much fun blasting everything around you that after a while youll wonder where the last week went. Add to that the huge amount of extras and mini games Insomniac managed to put into the game, and youve got pretty much an essential purchase.
Finally, for parents who cant decide between getting their child R&C2 or Jak2, get R&C2, Jak2 will just be far too complicated for them.
Sony have stamped their authority on the platforming market, beating Nintendo to a pulp. If youre reading this and love platformers, and dont own a PS2, you should be crying. Mario was nothing compared to these games and I beleive never will be.

The bar is raised again.

This game outdoes the first. I didn't think that possible, as RnC has for over a year been the adventure title by which I judge all others. They've added RPGlite elements - stamina and weapons experience, gameplay additions, fantastic new weapons, and wonderful new planets. The glider and bike replace the hoverboard, and a mining machine is added.
Insomniac haven't fixed what works. The travel paradigm and weapons interface are unchanged. They added games elements in - satellite planets and battle arenas - which enhance play. The plot is really unchanged. This doesn't help, but certainly doesn't detract from play. The gameplay is what engages you, and the sheer joy of smashing/blowing stuff up. Humour is paramount.
Softness of enemies is made up for in numbers if needed, and many enemies are much tougher than in RnC. Design and attention to detail stun again, and simplicity is elegance. Everything is ramped up a notch in RnCII, and completists will get a LOT of value from this game. It'll take ages to realise the potential of your weapons, as they just keep showing more scope with use and upgrades.
Once again value is gained from the second play-through, whereby enemies toughen/increase in number.
When the end came it was too soon. As with RnC I could have played twice as long, despite them being large games, but this time it felt more abrupt, perhaps because of the degree to which I got hooked. I think the better the game the harder it is to see it end, and this time I just started a second game right away.
Buy this game, and if you haven't buy RnC also - it's cheap, so there's no excuse.

Going Commando
Reviewed by Rob from Paparoa, NZ on December 15th, 2003
Like most game sequels Ratchet & Clank 2 is bigger and better than the original with excellent graphics and gameplay.
The new weapons and gadgets are just as imagitive as before and the ability to upgrade the weapons with continued use is a great idea. The new maxi games are also a lot of fun and mix up the gameplay.
If choosing between this and Jak 2 get both! Both are very different games and equally as good as each other.
