A close up of Ratchet revealed a soup of eyes, nose and mouth. For example, Vox’s gum popped through his lip, which was bizarre. However, cut scenes are fraught with glitches and bugs. In many ways the game has never looked better. Sure, things look cleaner and crisper throughout. However, the improved graphics came at some pretty big costs. Obviously the HD overhaul is a big part of the appeal here. It’s not a strong story by any means, but it’s funny enough to keep you going. There’s still plenty of interaction between the guys, and the humor is as on point as ever. While this affects gameplay quite heavily, it doesn’t hurt the story at all. Ratchet is left to fend for himself in the arena, with Clank and Al left to supporting roles back at the base. The gang is outfitted with collars that will detonate if they step out of line, so they have no choice but to participate.
#RATCHET AND CLANK DEADLOCKED SERIES#
This creepy dude runs a reality show called DreadZone, where heroes from around the galaxy are forced to compete in a series of obstacle courses and gladiatorial bouts until they drop dead. Ratchet, Clank, and Al are kidnapped by a man named Gleemon Vox. The story of Deadlocked is pretty straightforward. Best of all, FFA is twenty bucks new itself, so you might as well go buy that game and get Deadlocked for free.

However, if you have a disc version of last year’s Full Frontal Assault, you can use the disc benefits option and get this game for free! It’s a nice gesture to fans who had to wait six months for the Vita version of FFA to be released. That’s five dollars less than the other R&C HD titles, which is pretty sweet. Well, it appears that Sony wasn’t completely deaf to the demands of fans, as Deadlocked HD is now available on PSN! Does it hold up as well as its fellows? Did the HD conversion go well? Is the online multiplayer functional? These questions and more need answers, and this review will gladly give them.įirst up, it’s worth noting that this game is ten dollars. After all, it was the the last of the games on the PS2, and was well received in its own right. While the Ratchet & Clank HD Collection was a success, diehard fans couldn’t help but wonder where Ratchet: Deadlocked was. The images in this review are of the original game. (Note: I couldn’t find HD screens of the game for the life of me.
