Do not knock this game unless you've tried it

Whenever anyone says Ratchet: Deadlocked is Boring. I ask them if they have played it and their answer is no. This the normal scenario. People have posted out the wrong idea about this game. Everyone believes that this is a fighting game with no movie play or story. But those people have not played the game. If you have played the game then you must know what I'm talking about. When you start the game you get your choice of difficulty. If you would like to get through the game quickly and brag to everyone that you complete the game within two days then you can pick the first level. Though if you prefer a more challenging game because you have a lot of free time then pick the last level.

You start of small with armour that is not very good but when you win a few battles then you get new armour and enough bolts to buy weapons which I have to say are very impressive. And are upgradeable to become very powerful aresanal for Ratchet to survive. What I really like is that you get 2 little challenge bots beside you ready to fight. These are upgradable with bolts and can do things for you as well a fighting such as turning bolt cranks or making grind rails for you. As you earn more dread-points and medals you unlock more planets and new challenges.

The story is the usual excellent quality. With twists and turns in the story. With a lot a comedy but it turning serious as well in some parts. The end is certainly not disappointing. I only have one little part which I'm annoyed with. There is no Clank play but it does make up with some new and impressive vehicles.

All in all Ratchet: Deaklocked is one game to have standing proudly on your shelf with the C.D inside mark with hundreds of marks due to overplay. Ill be waiting for the next Ratchet and Clank :RnC next generation.

Repetitive

This video game was definitely not as good as the previous instalments. It is missing the stories and varied gameplay in favour of repetitive battles. Those battles are actually pretty fun but there's not much variety. The best part is the multiplayer mode.

Ratchet: Deadlocked (Ratchet: Gladiator- UK title)

This game is fantastic. Great choice from all Ratchet and Clank fans out there. You can play this game over and over again. You'll love it even more each time. This is the best game of all time. If you haven't gotten it you don't know what you are missing. Simply the best Ratchet and Clank game in the series. Great graphics, great gameplay and the control scheme is superb in my opinion. Its so much easier to strafe and look around, and to aim with precision. The multiplayer is excellent in this as well. Great level design too. I recommend this game to anyone who has played the first three of the games. Ratchet and Clank will go on forever.

Good...but not that good

I'm the first one to reply to this game and I'm not very surprised. Deadlocked (or Gladiator in Europe) is the fourth and final instalment of the Ratchet & Clank series. The story is about a game show where they take heroes from around the world to put in it where they have to fight to survive. Ratchet, Clank and Big Al are captured. Ratchet is forced to battle while the others help him along the way. The show is run by Gleeman Vox, a money hungry being. Ratchet and team Darkstar have to battle the Exterminators which consist of Ace Hardlight, Shellshock, Reactor an the Eviscerator. They game is funny but not as funny as the others. There are a few bad points on it.

1) No playable Clank.

2) Not enough weapons

3) The Challenge type of gameplay gets a bit annoying

I would only recommend people buying this game if they are a fan of the series. Buy Ratchet & Clank 3 if you want a good game.
