    I love this series and really liked the game, but I feel they're going in the wrong direction. Cutting down on the platforming, which the other games did better than any other game, is a big mistake. Also, cutting down the scale of the story makes the game feel more like an add-on than a sequel. Still a fun game that people should play, but if you're new to the series you should I love this series and really liked the game, but I feel they're going in the wrong direction.

    Ratchet deadlocked was ok, but this didnt show me any impression. The gameplay felt like it was similar to full frontal assault but at least it had more levels

    En su momento no me gustó, pero el tiempo lo ha tratado muy bien. Uno de los mejores shooters que te puedes encontrar en PS2, aunque como parte de la franquicia se queda cortito y es el eslabón débil de la oferta que hubo en la consola.

    Slow start on this one but a great finish. The intro levels are far too easy and I was disappointed that there were no cheat codes available. Some of us like to have the morph gun from the start. Just cause I cheat dosn't mean I'm not a real gamer. I like the idea of the gun mods. I was disappointed that its all challenges and not enough "levels" like the previous games in the Slow start on this one but a great finish.

But most of that could be over looked by playing the final 2 hours of the game. Things get really fun once you have all the weapons. Watching those swarmers run into an electrofied force field is just fun.… Expand

    If it weren't for the game's generic gameplay and lack of identity, Deadlocked would've been a blast. However, its 3rd person controls are impressive, the visuals are great, and as usual, Ratchet's arsenal kicks ass.

    Ratchet And Clank Deadlocked esta bastante bien. Sigue siendo bastante frenético y conserva en parte la esencia de la saga, pero a diferencia de los otros, este se siente muy repetitivo, con poca o nula exploración, poquísimas armas, sin sistema de armaduras y muy pocos modos de juego que hacen que, como ya dije antes, se sienta repetitivo.

Al igual que los anteriores, tampoco me gusto la historia y la música se siente bastante genérica. En lo que si mejora con respecto a los anteriores es en el multijugador. Este se siente muy variado y entretenido! Puedo recomendarlo si te gusta la saga, pero no es por donde yo empezaría.… Expand

    It's not a game for me, this is one of those games where thousands of enemies come at you at the same time, there's so much on the screen that it gets polluted and you don't know what an enemy/object or collectibles are

    It just doesn't quite live up to the standards set up by its predecessors. [Dec 2005, p.90]

    It's every bit as enjoyable as you would hope, too. Of course, if you are into deathmatching, Ratchet's online presence once again packs a wallop. [Nov 2005, p.160]

    There's a sense that Insomniac wanted to go out with a quick, clean fourth installment without too much hassle and strain. [Nov p.78]
