Sets the predecessor not in the shadows, but also managed!

Since their victory over Drek the duo "Ratchet & Clank" has seemingly nothing to do. In the TV series "Modern Heroes" runs a report on the two and what they've done since the last save the galaxy so. Aside from the numerous events that have visited them, the two do not seem to be just in the rescue of stress ...

Just at that moment the scientists Abercrombie Fizzwidget sees the mission and bring the two to be. He is working on a project: the "Protopet" - the ultimate pet. The prototype was stolen by a thief, and Ratchet and Clank, it will now repeat. Over time, it turns out that the Protopet's a pretty big threat to the robot world. The little beasts multiply extremely fast, but except in the past couple of planets they are always hard to find. Ultimately, it turns out that the Protopets ... okay, I will not reveal the ending.

The worlds are designed very versatile and beautiful again. There are next to swampy landscapes and icy areas again impressive metropolises. Although the two are now in another galaxy, but the means of payment are still 'Bolts'. The arms trade is but now operated by Mega Corp, clear that new weapons and equipment are then announced. But it would have been necessary not necessarily completely develop new weapons, which the 'Lancer' the 'Blaster' and the 'mini rocket tube' the 'destroyer' of the first part very similar. But on one of the planets there are still a Gadgetron-office where you can buy some old weapons and the 'RIDA 2'. If you have a "Ratchet & Clank" -Speicherdatei (ie from the first part) on its memory card, so you get a variety of retro weapons to this website free. With collected 'Platinum Bolts' (the 'gold-Bolts' peel) can be in the first game of acid, Shock- or capture modifications buy for its weapons and to increase in the course of the game, the individual weapons by frequent use. After completing the game you can then in Challenge Mode to play the game again, stay where weapons and Bolts received and the objects and devices must be issued. Then you can buy from the merchants further upgrades to its shootas and those yet to increase once again.

To the actual course of action come additional challenges. Needed some arenas fights, space battles and Hoverbike race for progress in the game, so you can win by more challenges Bolts. In arena matches, you have to defeat with his weapons a number of gladiators in an arena. In space battles controlling Ratchet's spaceship and shoot at other ships and Hoverbike race correspond about motorcycle racing, just with missiles and speed boosts.

With all the new features and improvements you forgot certainly a bit on the general gameplay look for. The story is a bit clumsy and unimportant what actually should not be. The difficulty level is quite high and this may especially "Ratchet & Clank" frustrate Newcomers. But ultimately it is not so heavy that you could not make it. The boss, however, is in contrast to the rest of the game tremendously simple and without any problems at the latest when the second or third time schaffbar, there was the predecessor of the far more challenging.

Why do I, despite the rather serious deficiencies as clumsy story and high degree of difficulty a perfect score? Well, for one is "Ratchet & Clank 2" in spite of these criticisms absolutely high-quality game. On the other hand, it is extremely difficult to express the quality of a game in a scale of 1 to 5 and I just do not want to push in the "only good" corner the game, just because it's a bit difficult. I would also recommend the second part of anybody who can do with witty platforming action adventure something. Be sure to check try!
