It's gotta be mentioned how phenomenal the co-op was. The game felt very built around co-op, with it's emphasis on challenges, weapon leveling, difficulty settings, new game plus, and general mayhem. There's a lot do if you included another player. Grinding the endzone challenge with my friend was so fun, even if it was a glorified firefight challenge.
I used to play this all the time as a kid. I'd replay it endlessly just to see what all the stuff I got could do. It's crazy how small the game actually is, especially compared to today
Deadlocked had a baller Couch Co-Op mode that my brother and I played as kids. Being able to giggle together about all of the mayhem and destruction we caused was something I remember to this day.
Easily my favourite ratchet game... It was the first one i played and because it had split screen multiplayer i was playing it with my brother... I would love to see a remake of this game but i highly doubt it since it wasnt as popular as it should back in the day
Ratchet and Clank 3 and Ratchet:Gladiator are my two favourite games only because i played them repeatedly whenever i came down with tonsillitis as they were the only games i could consistently focus on, so much so i could easily complete the game and challenge mode within a day, thise memories will forever be seered into my head ❤
Of all of the various Ratchet games, I think this one remains my favorite to visit. The pacing is great, Dallas and Juanita are hilarious, and lock-strafe was the best thing ever added. Heck, I've actually gone through and completed the game in first person, just because I could.
The Holoshield is god tier on the higher difficulties. It’s no Shield Charger, sure, but being able to place an invincible barrier or two where you need it is great, as you can give yourself some breathing should your health be low... or keep your bolt multiplier up ;p Throw either shock or freeze on it and now it either does decent damage or even further keeps enemies off your back, as the upgraded Omnishield sort of “pulses” back towards attackers. Even getting it to upgrade isn’t hard, if you actually use it, it’ll level up with the rest of your arsenal.
imagine if insomniac remastered deadlocked with rift apart graphics.. or if they made a dread zone multiplayer game with rift apart graphics and mechanics like the phantom dash for the ps5.. god if only
I have to tell you something. I rewatch your videos a lot and I rarely do that with any videos I watch. Your enthusiasm and the way you edit is hilarious to me. The Patrick screaming meme is my favorite. Idc what the topic is gonna be, if you make a video I'm gonna watch it
Holoshield Launcher is this game is pretty fun once you slap a damaging mod type to them. Then you can just throw them onto stationary targets for extra DoT
I was like 10 playing Deadlock, it was my favorite game, I literally would see how many times i could beat it in one day pretty much everyday before i ever heard about speed running, I recently got it on an emulator and the muscle memory is still there man
I should play this game again one day, I used to play it a lot back when I was young, both this and Going Commando were the only Ratchet and Clank games I ever had and they were both fun
I experienced many problems involving freezing and failed saves. After completing many levels in championship mode, it saved my progress but erased all my badges, weapons, armor, helper bots and other upgrades! Extremely frustrating! 😖 And why does this game not offer Qwark or other popular NPC characters as a possible skin???
@@MrJarheadTV I looked online concerning the save glitches and found that the game is prone to having issues with saving and getting stuck in loading loops. I don’t know if this is a problem with this game on all platforms or specifically on PS 2. Have you experienced any saving or loading problems with this game?
I wanted to share my perspective as someone who's currently playing Deadlocked defensive. The Holoshield Launcher helps stand ones ground, so a lot of my ranged weapons got used more. Freeze mod was constantly used to get out of the Holoshield and attack enemy's with Magma Cannon or Scorpion Flail (Whom both were the ones with freeze).
Great video, and props on being the first who, as far as I recall, mentionned the fact that level 11-99 on weapons go by really quickly! I feel like it's an important thing to point out, otherwise the game sounds like a pain to 100% (even though you technically don't need to max all weapons to have unlock everything iirc)
Yeah before I played Deadlocked I heard about how weapons go up to 99 and was a little intimidated by that lol, so I wanted to make it a point that it does actually go pretty fast to level them up to that point. Glad you enjoyed the video!
Your content is absolutely top notch man. I stumbled upon your channel through the Jak reviews and fell in love with your editing style and your humor. I know how frustrating content creation can be sometimes, but keep it up my friend!
Thank you so much! It used to be frustrating for me at times but especially over the last year or two I've been having the time of my life making content, having anybody who watches and gets enjoyment out of it is more than enough for me so your words mean a lot😁
@@MrJarheadTV Glad to hear that :) You definitely seem to have mastered your style much faster than me so that's already a plus haha! I'm sure you'll get your break soon. You just need the favors of the algorithm gods for ONE video and you'll be good to go.
4:22 I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt pain with the turret sections in Ratchet 3 I swear kid me sucked ass on that first turret section on whatever the planet is called I actually forgot it lmao
The ratchet and clank games on the ps2 were the best. these games then and now are diamonds. with the technology back then it was so hard to make a game like that. did you know that these games were the first step in the online games
Great review, glad you gave the game a shot! While I prefer UYA, you're on point about Deadlocked doing a better job in regards to what it's going for. UYA put more emphasis on combat, but didn't improve it much over GC, which has more stuff to offer, whereas Deadlocked goes all in on combat, making it the most refined R&C combat of the PS2 games. Where would Deadlocked land on your ranking btw?
Honestly it's tough to say, GC has always been my favorite but the older I get I find the original creeping closer and closer to taking the top spot. And experiencing Deadlocked was just so so so much fun, but for now I'd still say it's sliiightly below those two. So I guess it'd go something like GC >= RC1 > Deadlocked >> UYA. It's been years since I played any of the PS3 games so I don't have too strong of an opinion on them but going from memory if I had to say I think Crack In Time would be just below Deadlocked, and Tools below UYA.
One thing worth mentioning is how Deadlocked got rid of the fixed sideflips while strafing in favor of omni-directional double jumps. This was such a good change and I was disappointed they immediately reverted it in the following games.
@@MrJarheadTV If you haven’t finished recording dialogue (or just like a little graphic to the side) can you PLEASE bring up the fact that when characters talk during gameplay their mouths don’t move. Nobody talks about this and it’s so unbelievably distracting once you notice
This was my favorite game and first ratchet and clank game I played it so much the disc got scratched to hell and i couldn’t pass the second boss I really want to play it again 😅
If I remember right I think it's $15 on the Playstation Store on PS3, which is what I recorded it on for this video, though the port has a lot of little graphical issues. If you have a computer to emulate it on give it a shot there too! Hopefully you'd have better luck than I did lol
I love the shit out of this game, so much I'm willing to play its somewhat messy PS3 port. This game and the OG trilogy really need proper remasters and not the rush jobs we currently are stuck with. The menus in the ratchet collection barely work ffs
I got my PS2 around the time I got my first job. Since the PS3 had just come out, I was able to pick up PS2 games for cheap. I didn't pick up Ratchet: Deadlocked because I was told it was a spin-off game. After watching this video, I realize the error of my ways.
I have more fond memories with ratchet deadlocked than with up your arsenal because my parents managed to buy this game for me the summer I turned 12 and HOLY SHIT DID I HAVE ALOT OF FUN. I remember liking how the ratchet and clank series got dark for this title and the combat was sooo good too. I remember unlocking the gangsta mode for firing your vipers and thinking that was the dopest shit ever. Plus I remember xplay reviewed this and gave it a good score as well. With up your arsenal however I only rented it that summer of 2006 for a weekend and didn't get far on it and I didn't own it til 2015, maybe I should go back and beat it
@@MrJarheadTV I like how more shooting and action there is but it doesn’t get stale, plus you’re comedy was good on this video. Some jokes really got me
Idk which video ideas you got in the pipeline but you should check out dying light, it gives me far cry 3 vibes but more survival/horror elements and add zombies to it, at least you should play it
Thanks! I have thought about it actually, I played the first God of War a couple years back and really liked it but I never finished any other games. I'd like to revisit them eventually!
Played it (on Hard mode you p#%$y) Loved it even better then the seconed game, what bother's me is that we will never have another Ratchet Deadlocked story like that again, plus were were supoes to meet some of the heroes that we saw in the end of the scene, but that was cut from the game, as it was rushed
I am sorry for being this guy, but have you watched the TGBS videos? Your video seems very derivative of those. I don't want to accuse you of plagiarism, but with how similar your points and even some of the phrasing was it would probably have been nice to give them a shoutout. I totally respect if your share those opinions, it was just a little uncanny watching this video.
I've watched them before but honestly it's just coincidence I'd say that we share the same opinions / have similar experiences regarding some things. I'd never put all this effort into a video just to steal other people's points, that'd just defeat the whole purpose of doing this.

Dual viper with electric power against the swarm of small enemies

“Killed on dread zone by none other than Logan Paul” that line alone was worth a like and sub
It's gotta be mentioned how phenomenal the co-op was. The game felt very built around co-op, with it's emphasis on challenges, weapon leveling, difficulty settings, new game plus, and general mayhem. There's a lot do if you included another player.

Ratchet Deadlocked is the chaddest game Insomniac Games ever graced us with... Peak of my childhood
I used to play this all the time as a kid. I'd replay it endlessly just to see what all the stuff I got could do. It's crazy how small the game actually is, especially compared to today
I used to watch my brother play it a lot when I was younger, it's definitely a simple game for sure but so so so much fun
Indeed Ratchet Deadlocked was actually my favorite of the series pre ps4/5. Glad to see it getting some love!
It definitely deserves more!
Here they call it Ratchet Gladiator
Deadlocked had a baller Couch Co-Op mode that my brother and I played as kids. Being able to giggle together about all of the mayhem and destruction we caused was something I remember to this day.
1:42 I deadass plugged in my mic and went to discord to pick up call when I heard this.
Easily my favourite ratchet game... It was the first one i played and because it had split screen multiplayer i was playing it with my brother... I would love to see a remake of this game but i highly doubt it since it wasnt as popular as it should back in the day

Damn, every 2 months i find a new series of RnC reviews to watch. Heres another one🤠, looks to be the funi kind, nice.

2 > 1 > Deadlocked > 3
Yup that's how I'd rank them too!
imagine if insomniac remastered deadlocked with rift apart graphics.. or if they made a dread zone multiplayer game with rift apart graphics and mechanics like the phantom dash for the ps5.. god if only
If only, granted I think the crack in time model fits ratchet than the remake and rift apart iteration of the models
This is the first video you've been recommended for me and the first scene had me dying, I love you.
Love you too 😈

I'm seriously honored to hear that, it really means a lot that you get that much enjoyment out of my videos! Thank you so much 😁
Holoshield Launcher is this game is pretty fun once you slap a damaging mod type to them. Then you can just throw them onto stationary targets for extra DoT
PAL version is Ratchet: Gladiator.
My favorite Start of a CZcams video I've seen so far 😂
I was like 10 playing Deadlock, it was my favorite game, I literally would see how many times i could beat it in one day pretty much everyday before i ever heard about speed running, I recently got it on an emulator and the muscle memory is still there man
I’m playing it today , I wish we could talk to clank more, Al talks when we go to his shop, clank doesn’t
Daran Norris did a hilarious job as Dallas.
Just rewatching your videos they are top tier edits and humor
Hell yeah 😎
5:10 Slower than Bentley from Sly Cooper before he got his wheelchair.
Damn that's a good one
The funniest and best way to describe ratchet deadlocked. Honestly where the hell is remake of this game?
I should play this game again one day, I used to play it a lot back when I was young, both this and Going Commando were the only Ratchet and Clank games I ever had and they were both fun
Definitely worth a revisit, I was surprised by just how much I enjoyed Deadlocked it's way too much fun
I experienced many problems involving freezing and failed saves.
After completing many levels in championship mode, it saved my progress but erased all my badges, weapons, armor, helper bots and other upgrades! Extremely frustrating! 😖
And why does this game not offer Qwark or other popular NPC characters as a possible skin???
Damn that sucks, but yeah Qwark or other character skins would've been really cool

@@pscoolguy Nah I've never had problems with it. I think when I played this though I might've just ran through it all in one sitting
I'm regretting using headphones but you earned yourself a sub so funny dude

Love the comedic timing and effort put into this. Subscribed!
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed! 😁
Loved Deadlocked. Glad you reviewed R&C as well.
i remember the first time i played this game i didnt even know there were battle bot partners because me and my brother completed this game co-op
4:22 I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt pain with the turret sections in Ratchet 3 I swear kid me sucked ass on that first turret section on whatever the planet is called I actually forgot it lmao
Marcadia, main reason I even remember the name of that place is because of how annoying that turret section is lol
@@MrJarheadTV Yeah the turret section sucked, which is why I now wanna play Deadlocked lmao (once I get my hands on a copy that is)
Started the Ratchet and Clank adventure by this game. Still listening to the Ost that are masterpieces (Escape Ghoststation) 😎
Finally, someone who has my taste in video games.
My man 😈🤝
Would love a video on Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time as I loved that game as a kid and me and my friend played it at his house all the time
I'll definitely be making videos on the Future Saga one day
4:21 current sections I'm having a wonderful time 🤣
The ratchet and clank games on the ps2 were the best. these games then and now are diamonds. with the technology back then it was so hard to make a game like that.
did you know that these games were the first step in the online games

GREAT VIDEO!!! Loved every minute of it and you summed up my thoughts on my feelings about this game perfectly!!!
Glad you enjoyed my guy 😈🤝
Superb video 👏
Absolutely love the presentation and editing!
Glad you enjoyed! 😁
On hardest difficulty you’ll use the shield and turrets way more haha
True lol
I absolutely love the job you did going full detail on the game. No one liked this game but, but might be my 2nd fav of the saga maybe
Glad you enjoyed! It's probably my third favorite R&C game as of right now but a verrryyyy close second
I WAS ON THE INTRO BABY
Welcome to the big leagues kid 😎🤝
Love ratchet and clank , good video
These videos are disgustingly underrated. Can’t wait to see him either slam or goat Sly 4…probably slam.
Thank you my good sir 🙇🏻♂️ I'm really looking forward to talking about it, I know I'm gonna have a whole lot to say
@@MrJarheadTV If you haven’t finished recording dialogue (or just like a little graphic to the side) can you PLEASE bring up the fact that when characters talk during gameplay their mouths don’t move. Nobody talks about this and it’s so unbelievably distracting once you notice

I love the shit out of this game, so much I'm willing to play its somewhat messy PS3 port. This game and the OG trilogy really need proper remasters and not the rush jobs we currently are stuck with. The menus in the ratchet collection barely work ffs
And the highest difficulty is really REALLY difficulty and the hd collection version for this game is actually the worst port ever.
This was actually the first game I beat as a kid. 😁
I can't imagine how much fun this would've been to play as a kid
@@MrJarheadTV Extremely 😁

Lmao it's not too late to correct your mistake!
It's considered Ratchet and Clank 4 in Japan!! Size Matters being R&C 5

While I disliked OYA, wasn't really sure I liked this one either, it's just so different.
Totally fair. Even I find it kinda weird how fond I am of this considering I was a bit sour on UYA
Great review as always!
Thank you! 😁
