Hands-On with Ratchet:Deadlocked
 
I actually borrowed this one from my neighbor and played it. I hate to say it, but this is my least favorite Ratchet and Clank game, although it isn’t as bad as I make it sound. It tells the story of Ratchet in the world of an Annihalation Nation-like contest, in which the greatest heroes of the universe are being kidnapped and forced to play in this Gladiator-like tournament. It controls really well, as well as always, and the graphics and sound of course were fine, but what I had a problem with was the enviroments and some of the upgrades. The weapon system is a little more complicated than I’d like it to, but in Size Matters, it’s been fixed to my style. From what I played in this game, you’re playing a lot in really dark enviroments, like rainy cities or dark plains, but the arenas are a lot funner. (I know funner isn’t a word.) This game also seems more mature than the others, with the main villain having to be bleeped because of his lanquage, and it kind of felt like a different game in that area. Overall, I didn’t hate what I played of this game, I just think it could have been better.
