best of them all... in a way
User Rating: 9.3 | Ratchet: Deadlocked PS2
people say that this is the worst game of the four... well they're biased. The other games of the series were more into platforming, this game takes a new step in eliminating most of the platforming, and going all out in the action. I say... this is a welcome c hange. The story isn't at its best, though none of the r and c games are, but its gameplay is the best of the 4. It doesn't get repetitive looking for the grind boots this, or the swingshot this, it is based on missions that are very varied. like uya, this game features vehicles, 4 this time instead of 2. you've got the hovership and puma, which are similar to the vehicles in UYA, and the new ones, the landstalker, a spider walker, and the hoverbike, which isn't like the one in GC of the similar name, this one is more akin to the ones in star wars.
all in all, if you want this game for multiplayer or action, buy it, if you don't and want it for the platforming, give it a rental... this game deserves it.
