Manufacturer's Description
Ratchet & Clank: Locked & Loaded takes place over 20 brand-new locations, each one up to 50% bigger than those in the original game. Players get to explore new spherical worlds, small-scale planets that Ratchet can literally run rings around. The gameplay is an incredible mix of genres, including action adventure, platforming, RPG, racing and strategy. There are a host of \"maxi-games\" to play, fully fledged challenges that take the form of everything from hoverbike races to space-age gladiatorial combat.
Ratchet is now a highly trained commando, and he's got a whole new arsenal of awesome weapons at his disposal--sniper rifles, grenade launchers, gravity bombs... you name it, Ratchet's ready to blow something up with it. All of the weapons are great fun to use, with superb special effects and satisfyingly loud explosions. Plus, an RPG-style upgrade system has been introduced, whereby the more Ratchet uses a weapon, the more powerful it will get.
This system also applies to Ratchet himself; seeing off opponents earns him more experience in the form of \"nanotech points\", which means he can handle a lot more hits. His armour can also be upgraded to offer more protection. And he'll need it, since enemy AI has been greatly improved. Players will need to think and play more strategically in combat situations, and carefully consider the best ways to build up their strength.
