It is the third installment in the ''Ratchet & Clank'' series and was released in North America on November 3, 2004. Shortly after it was released in Japan on November 25, the first volume of the Ratchet & Clank manga, drawn by Shinbo Nomura, was released. A demo of this game was included in ''Sly 2: Band of Thieves''. The gameplay is similar to previous games in the series but introduces new features such as a new control system and more levels in the upgrade system for weapons. It follows Ratchet and Clank's adventure through a fictional universe to defeat a robotic villain, Dr. Nefarious, who intends to destroy all organic life. Characters such as Dr. Nefarious and Sasha, a Cazar starship captain who helps Ratchet throughout the game, are introduced, and a number of characters return from the original ''Ratchet & Clank''. ''Up Your Arsenal'' is the first in the series to offer online multiplayer as well as single-player. The service was terminated in June 2012, however the PlayStation 3 HD version features the online mode. Multiplayer features three different modes of play available on all of the maps and has a selection of the weapons from the single-player game. As well as the multiplayer mode, it has many other differences compared to its predecessors such as higher quality graphics, larger worlds, and drivable vehicles. The voice cast from the previous game return as their respective characters, and new actors were hired to voice the new characters.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal Info )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando Info )〕 The game was met with critical acclaim upon release, earning an average review score of 91% at Metacritic.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ratchet and Clank: Up your Arsenal (ps2: 2004): Reviews )〕 == Gameplay == Despite straying further from a classic platform game, ''Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal'' still offers some of the basic features of a platform game but with a strong mix of action and shooting; ''PGNx Media'' has dubbed it a "combat-platformer". It offers melee and long range combat and boasts a large, varied arsenal as one of its primary features as it has been in previous games. As the player progresses through the game new weapons and upgrades can be obtained. As well as the 20 weapons available to the player, each weapon (apart from the RY3NO) has eight levels of strength, which is different to the previous game's four levels of strength. Five upgrades are available after a weapon's purchase and then three after that once the game has been completed, the player starts "challenge mode", and purchases the weapon's upgrade. Alongside the weapons, which are primarily used in combat, there are ten gadgets that can be collected for use in other situations. For most of the game the player will be in control of Ratchet but in some areas the player takes control of Clank, Ratchet's ally. Clank can give commands to smaller robots called Gadgebots to perform tasks with the use of a command menu to solve puzzles and attack enemies. Clank also features in "Giant Clank" scenarios where Clank transforms into a larger and more advanced form and can battle similar size enemies; in this form he gains increased firepower with rockets and bombs and a large amount of health. During the single-player game, the player can also play as Captain Qwark in 2D side-scrolling levels (called "Vid Comics"), which build upon the history of Captain Qwark and his previous conflicts with Dr. Nefarious. The game offers a large range of enemies〔 and different stages. It also features online multiplayer modes, such as Deathmatch, Capture The Flag, and Siege (in which the player storms the opponent's base and tries to destroy the power core inside). It supports up to eight players at a time and supports voice chat through a PS2-compatible headset. Internet connection is needed if playing online against other players. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
