|gameinfo          = Insomniac Games' follow-up to ''[[Ratchet & Clank]]'', ''Going Commando'' is a planet-hopping adventure set in the brand-new Bogon galaxy where you play as Ratchet and his robotic sidekick Clank. ''Going Commando'' was widely considered more polished than the original, and it was proceeded by ''[[Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal]]''.
|gameinfo          = From the creators of Ratchet & Clank comes the next installment of this sci-fi action adventure series.  Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando features more than 50 imaginative weapons and gadgets.  The more things you blow up, the stronger Ratchet gets and the more advanced the weapons you'll have.  Participate in all-new side challenges; destroy hordes of enemies in gladiator arenas, upgrade your ship and pick off enemies in space combat, and leave competitors to eat your dust in hi-speed challenge.  Are you up for it?<br />
Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando is a 2003 3D platformer video game developed by [[Insomniac Games]]. The gameplay of ''Going Commando'' is similar to that of the original ''Ratchet & Clank''. The player explores planets in the "Bogon" Galaxy and undertakes missions. It contains more mini-games than were present in the previous game. The game also introduces role-playing game (RPG) elements, such as upgradeable weapons. ''Going Commando'' was released roughly a year after its predecessor, and received very positive reviews. Critics noted the game's improved graphics, longer gameplay, and added role-playing elements as being major improvements over the original, but also criticized the game for its very high difficulty.

|Comments=BIOS: USA 2.00. Played at full speed. Opaque background to menus, but it's worth it to stay in hardware mode. Crashed once when a level was being loaded, but it was after hours of play. The game auto-saves before this. Anisotropic Filtering is optional.

|Comments=PCSX2 crashed when loading Maktar in challenge mode, but the game never crashed again and loaded after a restart, so this was probably a one-off. When loading a savestate saved when moving between planets, PCSX2 ejects the memory cards, but you can still save after landing. Models stretched/warped on Oozla and Snivelak, but in the latter case PCSX2 updated after I closed it and the issue was fixed when I restarted the game. Towards the beginning of the game the pause screen showed solid colours, but after an update this was fixed, though the screen changed to native resolution when paused. There was some relatively minor lag in the opening cutscene before the first visit to Aranos and at the beginning of some planets, most notably Maktar and Dobbo, but this stops once you move the camera. The only area where lag affected gameplay at all was in some parts of Grelbin. It never reached unplayable speed but not much seemed to be going on when it did lag. These were all GS bottlenecks so GPU palette conversion would probably have improved performance. Other than that, full speed. Fully playable.
