All levels have that nice 'wide shot', which is specially notable in Notak. I personally feel that Yeedil does it best, with the megacorp HQ. Looks like Wily's castle lol
@Stevo Exactly! Every time I hear that place's soundtrack I reminiscence of that big ass sun. Reminds me of when a cartoon or whatever has a desert scene and shows the sun irradiating extreme heat down, it's a similar sound
Oh my god I remember this level. It was like breaking into a facility against all odds. Just when you thought you had won, they threw more at you. Still a fun level, just hard.
I will personally greet him with his award *And the award for best video game music composer goes to: well, we only had one nominee the rest were all rubbish, DAVID BEREGAUD!*
This song really does capture the intimidation you feel when you get to this planet, knowing that you're at the thugs' stronghold. Also love how you start the level from far outside, and work your way in slowly until you reach the city area. Oh, and that sunset, too, just great stuff all round.
Special with the shot where it shows all the towering buildings and hundreds of ships just flying in and out of orbit after you land and that opening segment plays you know it just got real
If you beat this planet with the wrench, or any of the planets in the latter half of the game with the wrench successfully and without armor, you are a badass
pfff, played it through without even upgrading my armor ;). only the helicoptres are kinda annoying, 'cause of their rapid fire. but for beginners it sure is quite difficult. especially, if they don't know the spider trick against the boss ;D.
And the Minirocket Tube. Otherwise it'll be even more of a pain in the butt trying to kill that one chopper. Edit: Well, apparently the Megaturrets also work exceptionally well against that chopper, so as long as you have it fully upgraded, it shouldn't be too much of a hassle.
I just had a long dream with this entire song in the background. This is giving me such chills. This game is truly a masterpiece. They put so much effort into the second ratchet and clank game
alternating between a 7/4 and 5/4 measure in the "verse" and then a climactic straight 4/4 in the chorus.. just delicious :) this game had some of the best soundtracks imo. they complemented the game so well.
1:35 oh man I remember at that point I was by the bridge with the tanks and thugs behind them opening fire like mad strafing and side flipping. I felt like a actual hero in that moment. Level was hard but I love the soundtrack
1:35 Oh man...... I remember trying to get to the Giant Mech Boss, the swarms of enemies were crazy, I kept running out of Ammo for the Mega rocket cannon and the Plasma coil. Great times.
This soundtrack is especially memorable simply because of how many times I've died on this level and heard the start of it, loved this level and this game, it really had a banger OST
Man the soundtrack was very tense and was a challenging time getting through the swarms of enemies. The helicopters and electrical fences were a big surprise when you enter far into the territory. i'm a big fan of R&C
DEFINITELY my favorite planet of all. Saved enough bolts for the right weapons through out the whole game and got by it like no problem. Freakin love this level and those damn tanks and helicopters.
I remember, fighting unbreakable tanks, leading in front of strong solid troopers that reappear always and when you though it was finish, the fucking copter came and...no amno left.
This part of the game made me feel like a badasss, from all of my gear that I've gathered AND from the weapons I've maxed out... Truly brings my eyes to tears!
Such a difficult and memorable level especially getting through the city area to fight the mech boss having to destroy all the henchmen and the helicopters
Valeforxd says in his Everthing wrong with Valeforxd video, in the Ratchet and Clank section, he said that going through the level was not bad but the boss against the Thugs 4 Less Leader was always not his favorite, unless if you have the RYNO and use it sparingly
The game always had sick ass intro views if you know what I mean. I would just stay looking at the view without moving the control once ratchet got out the ship
Well the you can first get the lava gun on tabora in the underground lava cave section the rocket tube becomes available one level after that on dobbo the megacorp testing facility, i dont really recall snivelak having any weapon unlocks
Or you can just shoot at the boss without triggering the cutscene because it's on the map and can be damaged. But you would have to unload every weapon in your arsenal and go back to the vendor multiple times
@@Rugrats-91 Load the boss without the cutscene activating, use Sheepinator and kill the sheep once it's created, activate the cutscene and POOF, gone! or... if you are feelin' it: activate the boss, go on the turret for a few frames, leave, go on the bridge where he should be clipping inside of, use the Hoverbomb gun with shield charger and SPAM, and its way quicker. Note: you must be inside the bosses model to do this more efficiently.
This strong and powerful feeling that I felt while going through the area and sniping the thugs from afar, to finally, thinking that all this trouble is over, arrive at their boss and have to face him as a giant Clank too, with the objective: save the beautiful! Incredible for a child this resentment
I was always horrified at the bridge, i don’t think I’ve ever actually approached the tank and the enemies I always used this part to level up the spiderbot glove
The bridge is where I I got stuck for the longest time , I then realized I had to shed about 1,000,000 bolts to buy the “rhino” to clear the bridge from a safe distance without triggering the tanks moving forward
Yeah especially when all you have is a heavy lancer, mini-nuke, vaporizer, black sheepinator, and a couple other random low-level weapons. Had to deal with that in my no armor playthrough
I remember when I was really little playing this game (4 or 5-ish) and, for some reason, I would call this planet Texas... To my utter disappointment, Texas is not, in fact, a place filled with lava, advanced monoliths, and lizard thugs. :/
I just rushed wirh double r1 tap dash and i think i broke the game lol kinda dont regret it since there was way too many enemies i dont know how can you beat this level killing everything
Luckily, your dogfight didn’t end in your ally on-board any ships you nuked, so now it’s time to take the foght to their home base. This’ll be a grind.
I loved how whenever you would travel here, you're welcomed by a view of that monolithic tower.
or those gross looking mushrooms that spray some weird gas when ya hit 'em xD.
"Welcome to Snivelak. Now get out."
All levels have that nice 'wide shot', which is specially notable in Notak.
I personally feel that Yeedil does it best, with the megacorp HQ. Looks like Wily's castle lol
@@migueeeelet Agreed, Yeedil's imposing Megacorp factory tower along with the black backdrop gives it a sinister final level vibe.
@Stevo Exactly!
Every time I hear that place's soundtrack I reminiscence of that big ass sun.
Reminds me of when a cartoon or whatever has a desert scene and shows the sun irradiating extreme heat down, it's a similar sound
The theme of difficulty curves
I was raging when I was trying wrench only
The dam thug labyrinth
Bro, they turned the difficulty right the fk up with this planet and Yeedil (but that's the final planet so...)
@@legoyoda6717wrench only? Bro?!?!
@@biffmcspandex7748I hope that didn’t include the boss. 😭
Oh my god I remember this level. It was like breaking into a facility against all odds. Just when you thought you had won, they threw more at you. Still a fun level, just hard.
and this music suits perfectly to your/our feels. it sounds so dangerous...
You had to break into a city, not a facility.
@Midhav0 That's why he said LIKE breaking into a facility.
I found this planet way harder than the final boss... just remembering this planet makes me want to play again, though! One of the best games on PS2!
They don't make them like this anymore....👌🔥🔥🔥💯💯🐐🐐
Seriously man💪💪💪👌👌👌
Somehow this kids game has a soundtrack that better captures that dystopian feeling than Deus Ex or Cyberpunk.
Someone put a *lot* of money into this
"kids" game
@@soulonireall ages game, I prefer ;)
Cyberpunk yeah but have you heard Michael McCann's Deus Ex soundtracks? They're excellent
It's definately not a kids game. Rated T for Teen in the USA with a lot of dirty jokes and adult motives like corporation greed. Such a classic!
My favourite tune in the series especially 1:35-1:57 just awesome. How has David Beregaud not got an award yet?
I will personally greet him with his award
*And the award for best video game music composer goes to: well, we only had one nominee the rest were all rubbish, DAVID BEREGAUD!*
Yea hes underrated
@@raveaw379 Doom Slayer might have a word with you for dismissing Mick Gordon like that.
But yeah this is great
@@randocalzone8772 all mick Gordon does is mix synthesizer with electric guitar shut up making metal music

If you don't have the Bouncer and a good armor, you're fucked here
Doing this planet in no armour and only the wrench except for the boss. That was one of the worst decisions I've ever made.
If you beat this planet with the wrench, or any of the planets in the latter half of the game with the wrench successfully and without armor, you are a badass
pfff, played it through without even upgrading my armor ;). only the helicoptres are kinda annoying, 'cause of their rapid fire. but for beginners it sure is quite difficult. especially, if they don't know the spider trick against the boss ;D.

Bouncer, Minirocket Tube, Hoverbomb gun, shield charger you’ll need maximum firepower
The beginning of the song coupled with the view you're given. Insomniac are geniuses.
absolutely
David Bergeaud is the genius
I just had a long dream with this entire song in the background. This is giving me such chills. This game is truly a masterpiece. They put so much effort into the second ratchet and clank game
I agree this game would be amazing even if the soundtrack was bad but it's made all the better because of the badass compositions
second game will always be the best one, best weapons, armor, soundtrack, story, you name it
Rac 2 is my favorite game of all time 😊
@@jakemedina7805 garbage buggy game
They really really did
alternating between a 7/4 and 5/4 measure in the "verse" and then a climactic straight 4/4 in the chorus.. just delicious :) this game had some of the best soundtracks imo. they complemented the game so well.
It's a synthesizer using a keyboard right
@@chinossynthesizer705 he used a lot of sample packs and obscure osts as well you can find a video showing the sample packs he used on yt
@@LeafGreen906 some of them are orchestral music samples
@@chinossynthesizer705 yeah but also a lot of the breakbeats and sci-fi percussive fx
1:35 oh man I remember at that point I was by the bridge with the tanks and thugs behind them opening fire like mad strafing and side flipping. I felt like a actual hero in that moment. Level was hard but I love the soundtrack
This is GC's answer to Gemlik Base.
Oh right, cause GC's answer to Oltanis is Grelbin.
ratchet and clank 2 was was my favourite game of the series and it has the best soundtrack too so its just another awesome thing about the epic game
I like all of them in the series but Deadlocked(gladiator for you PAL people out there) was my favorite. It has a certain aesthetic I like about it.
Rac 2 was nice but Rac 3 was more catchy to me
1:35 Oh man...... I remember trying to get to the Giant Mech Boss, the swarms of enemies were crazy, I kept running out of Ammo for the Mega rocket cannon and the Plasma coil. Great times.
One of the most blatant difficulty curves I've experienced in any game during my lifetime.
The difficulty spike hits like a truck.
Difficulty spear : D
This is insane! Ratchet and Clank is such an amazing game!
This soundtrack is especially memorable simply because of how many times I've died on this level and heard the start of it, loved this level and this game, it really had a banger OST
Man the soundtrack was very tense and was a challenging time getting through the swarms of enemies. The helicopters and electrical fences were a big surprise when you enter far into the territory. i'm a big fan of R&C
DEFINITELY my favorite planet of all. Saved enough bolts for the right weapons through out the whole game and got by it like no problem. Freakin love this level and those damn tanks and helicopters.
Soooo difficult level but the soundtrack is awesome!
from 2:30 to 3:00 it just feels like you’re preparing for one of the biggest battles of your life and you can’t die and the world is counting on you
I remember, fighting unbreakable tanks, leading in front of strong solid troopers that reappear always and when you though it was finish, the fucking copter came and...no amno left.
This part of the game made me feel like a badasss, from all of my gear that I've gathered AND from the weapons I've maxed out... Truly brings my eyes to tears!
i love the buildup to 0:55 - 1:16 it just sounds so good bro idek how to describe it omg
Such a difficult and memorable level especially getting through the city area to fight the mech boss having to destroy all the henchmen and the helicopters
The bass is beautiful.
This level is crazy when you get the runback with the ryno 2. you feel like a boss
Once Ratchet gets to the bridge, all hell breaks loose
I sucked when i was a kid on this level. Once i stayed near the vendor and just spammed the visibomb and spider to kill everyone.
I did the same thing!
Same for me except that I was too scared to even go near the tanks so I stayed back by the ship and spammed the visibomb lol
Valeforxd's favorite level
He especially loved fighting the boss
Skeet *makes Valefor’s mating call noise*
Valeforxd says in his Everthing wrong with Valeforxd video, in the Ratchet and Clank section, he said that going through the level was not bad but the boss against the Thugs 4 Less Leader was always not his favorite, unless if you have the RYNO and use it sparingly
When you first hear this, you know the shit has hit the fan. Even though there are four levels left.
This point of the game was where the enemies really meant bussiness, and it only got more harder towards the end of the game
God this level was sooo hard, took me weeks to beat it. But it's still my favorite xD
That Planet agiatated me ocacionally, from the thugs to that Boss in the mech.
Good Soundtrack regardless.
The one dislike is from the thugs 4 less leader
“Welcome to snivelak, now get out”
accurate
Surprisingly, going through this level with only early-game weapons was more fun than I expected.
The game always had sick ass intro views if you know what I mean. I would just stay looking at the view without moving the control once ratchet got out the ship
Oh damn, this Planet was so freaking hard.
I like the concept of this planet :)
This level was such a huge difficulty spike. Remember being stuck here forever.
This is the soundtrack you hear in the depths of hell.
*This planet in a nutshell:* "Shit just got real." *Martin Lawrence voice*
Harder planet in R&C 2!
SlimCognito that's What she said!
I remember this zone, was volcanic right? And it's where I got a new toy.... the lava/rocket tube (or something like that) and that weapon felt badass
Well the you can first get the lava gun on tabora in the underground lava cave section the rocket tube becomes available one level after that on dobbo the megacorp testing facility, i dont really recall snivelak having any weapon unlocks
0 Dislikes, Thank You David😍
I took way longer than I should've with the Dynamo puzzle for the platinum bolt
Sadly the end is just a FIFTEEN MINUTE LONG TURRET SECTION, which are the WORST parts of any ratchet and clank game.
Fluffy Frosty Fury turret section? How so?
It doesn't have to be. He can be taken down (strangely enough) with your own weapons. The RYNO II, for instance
Or you can just shoot at the boss without triggering the cutscene because it's on the map and can be damaged. But you would have to unload every weapon in your arsenal and go back to the vendor multiple times
@@Rugrats-91 Load the boss without the cutscene activating, use Sheepinator and kill the sheep once it's created, activate the cutscene and POOF, gone!
or... if you are feelin' it:
activate the boss, go on the turret for a few frames, leave, go on the bridge where he should be clipping inside of, use the Hoverbomb gun with shield charger and SPAM, and its way quicker. Note: you must be inside the bosses model to do this more efficiently.
@@sanjum2475 Eh, I just find a spot where I can hide and the boss can't go any further and unload my most powerful weapons at the moment
I remember having to go back a kilometer for ammunition and another kilometer to come back. Lmfao
This strong and powerful feeling that I felt while going through the area and sniping the thugs from afar, to finally, thinking that all this trouble is over, arrive at their boss and have to face him as a giant Clank too, with the objective: save the beautiful! Incredible for a child this resentment
I was always horrified at the bridge, i don’t think I’ve ever actually approached the tank and the enemies I always used this part to level up the spiderbot glove
Someone else said it best "Difficulty curve? No. Difficulty brick wall."
Difficult planet, amazing music.
I vividly remember raging at this level as a kid, it was so hard back then
This is the best song in the whole game trust me I checked
The level that proves that the difficulty has been spiked up
*aggressively buying visibomb ammo*
my childhood
when you arrive here NG+ to buy Carbonox was an epic feeling!
1:34 good synthesizer
Top 5 ost here!!
The most difficult planet in the whole ratchet video games serie
Image you have such an HQ with all the money you need. But with a noice oceanline instead of Lava.
When those thugs are waiting for you at the bridge....7 year old me was like "Bring it!"
Many thanks.
The Mars of the Bogon Galaxy
To me it's more like Mustafar than Mars
I just charge booted my way through this until they blocked me off with those 500 foot High shields. Then came the boss...
What planet do you get the charge boots from again? I forgot they were in 2
On Joba. You have to beat the first Hoverbike Race there. @@LorFire
All I hear is Difficulity Increase lmao
Lost Chaos bruh thousand percent facts
@@thisistodd190 lol they was hitting like trucks inside the base 😂😂
This song is fucking intimidating.
this would totally work in Deadlocked
This level gave me a very difficult time when I first played this.
The bridge is where I I got stuck for the longest time , I then realized I had to shed about 1,000,000 bolts to buy the “rhino” to clear the bridge from a safe distance without triggering the tanks moving forward
this level is the shits man
CLASSIC
“You’ve infiltrated an enemy facility, best keep to the shadows…. This place is crawling with personnel.”
Siiiiick
I loved Lizard Hell, it was the best planet, felt impossible to beat, whom else is with me?
Wasn't prepared when I got to this level. I had to back track
Yeah especially when all you have is a heavy lancer, mini-nuke, vaporizer, black sheepinator, and a couple other random low-level weapons. Had to deal with that in my no armor playthrough
The part where the tough get tougher.
I’m going to learn ableton just so I can remix this track. Such a fucking banger 🥵
did you make any progress?
I remember when I was really little playing this game (4 or 5-ish) and, for some reason, I would call this planet Texas... To my utter disappointment, Texas is not, in fact, a place filled with lava, advanced monoliths, and lizard thugs. :/
10 y old me on this level: *potato*
10 years later me: *french fries the whole game in 5 hours*
I just rushed wirh double r1 tap dash and i think i broke the game lol kinda dont regret it since there was way too many enemies i dont know how can you beat this level killing everything
After beating this level I went to an anger management clinic
Where's Thug Leader to deslike this masterpiece?
1:33 😍
I need this in flac 24 bit
Listening to this makes me want to write a cyberpunk call of Cthulhu campaign
Gonna be honest, This like the Orxon of Bogan cause of the difficulty of the level
YAY
Hardest planet and boss
Luckily, your dogfight didn’t end in your ally on-board any ships you nuked, so now it’s time to take the foght to their home base.
This’ll be a grind.
in this level you learn that insomniac hates you
Omg this fucking level 😁😁😁😁
*15 MINUTE LONG TURRET SECTION!!!*
The beginning is scary
This planet was hard as fuck
This planet was really hard
