The third installment in the Rachet & Clank series, Up Your Arsenal is a 3D platformer and fantasy shooter created by the Insomniac Games studio.

The player character and main protagonist is Ratchet, a Lombax from the planet Veldin. He wields a wrench as a melee weapon and can use a large arsenal of weapons. Clank, Ratchet's robotic sidekick and sometimes co-protagonist, is usually attached to Ratchet's back and uses attachments to help Ratchet's movements. Dr. Nefarious, the main antagonist of the game, is the robotic form of a former organic life form. He has a hatred for organic life and tries to destroy it. At the end of the game, Doctor Nefarious is left stranded on an asteroid, eventually making cameos and reappearances in later titles.

Up Your Arsenal is a good game because of the strong characters, comedic dialog, a vast array of weapons to choose from, and a classic story of evil vs good. The game was a instant hit with me and even now, i still replay the game.
