About

Ratchet and Clank return as heroes for hire in Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando, the second game in this action platforming franchise.There are 18 entirely new weapons, as well as five weapons from the first game (you can upload them if using your old memory save). Each weapon is upgradeable, utilizing a new experience system, where weapons transform into more powerful forms the more they are used. In addition to main story levels, new Maxi-games give players a chance to test their skills and gain experience.

What players say

A sequel that improves on the original in nearly every way, adding addictive RPG-style weapon and health leveling, space combat, and bigger worlds. Widely considered superior to its predecessor and an essential PS2 classic, with a deeply satisfying, charm-soaked gameplay loop.
