A simple, well-rounded game, this is one of the earlier titles for the PS2. It has excellent control, vibrant colors, beautiful scenery for each level, challenging gameplay, and it's not so difficult that it would require a serious gamer to make any real progress. Also, Daxter is pretty amusing at times and also serves as a pretty useful guide when you get stuck. This is a great deal!

You really can see the quality with Jak and Daxter: it's fun to play, it's paced really well, and it allows you about as much freedom as a "quest-based" platforming game can. I loved it from one end to the other, and even went out of my way to beat it completely.

You can see plenty of reviews that will give you the story--let's instead take a look at the gameplay. Jak & Daxter is a "platformer", meaning you spend a lot of time jumping up and down on various stair-step parts of each level. The monotony is broken up by side quests: for example, helping a farmer herd cattle, or shooing pigeons away from a series of monuments.

There are also changes to gameplay: "end bosses" that require you to crack the pattern to beat them. There are "riding" stages where you're on a small skimmer, and even these have diversity: sometimes you're racing some bad guys, sometimes you're racing the clock. Last, you collect "Precursor Orbs" as you go, which you can trade for Power Cells, the core collectable of the game. Precursor Orbs are hidden all over the place, as are Power Cells that don't need to be bartered for--they're just waiting to be discovered. It's not easy, but the important part is, when you fail, you know why, and you feel driven to try again, just one more time. A good game makes you really feel like you've earned something that's hard-to-get, not like you had to wrestle it out of the programmer's hands. You don't have to collect every Precursor Orb, nor do you have to find every Power Cell...but if you do, you get a special ending to the game.

Probably the most important point to Jak and Daxter is that little "E" on the package: the game is rated "E" for "Everyone", and it truly does live up to that claim. It's hard for me to find games that I can enjoy, and still share with my 8 year old daughter, but she loves this game, too. It's unfortunate that the second game went in the "T" (Teen) direction--it just doesn't seem right for Jak to start using shotguns and rocket launchers--but at least we have this one, and I would recommend it for the whole family.

For the record, I played Jak & Daxter on a PS3. It ran extremely well and has no glitches or hangups.

Jak and Daxter is a really fun game but its a little confusing. Unless a character on the game tells you what to do or gives you a certain goal to reach like in the beginning of the game when you have collect 20 power cells. Because after you cross Fire Canyon, you ask yourself, what now?
But Jak and Daxter is a really fun game, it has great graphics and there is alot of fun stuff to do. So its really worth buying.

The first Jak and Daxter game ever,but the best! Their are so many games to choose from called Jak 2,3and x.Your adventure will take you from forbidden jungle to underwater ruins, through firey canyons and over snowy mountains.you'll make many fantastic discoveries,and learn of a sinister plot to change your world for all time.and eventually you will be made to make a terrible choice give up daxter or lose your life! can jak save him and daxter?????. Played it for 6 years now and I mastered it! 9.99 for 6 years of fun!

Jak and Daxter, back when Jak couldn't talk (a big reason why this game is rated E) and weapons, jetboards, and vehicles didn't exist.

Jak and Daxter shares almost no similarites with any of the other Jak games other than the main characters (although many more were added in Jak 2). Even though there are no weapons, jetboards, dark eco, or secrets (I guess in the 21st century violence is more important than gameplay), I still play Jak and Daxter all the time. The levels and missions are fun (you must go around the world searching for power cells in the quest to bring Daxter back to his natural form) and it never gets boring.

Although there are no missions, instead you have to do certain things to acquire power cells (findinc scout flies, opening eco vents, defeating plants). The levels range from the boggy swamp to the spider caves to the lost precursor temple. Each place is unique and has its own fun little areas to explore.

Even though I own all of the Jak games currently in existence, there's nothing like the classic Jak and Daxter.

I bought this for my son because he mastered the Sly series. Jak & Daxter was not too violent, which I appreciated, but my son did not like it nearly as much as Sly.

Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy was the next project for a
famous game company called "Naughty Dog", they made many other
games that were educational though, unpopular and unknown. This
company then made the world famous Crash Bandicoot series for a
few years for the Playstation. After a few years, they decided
that now of this upcoming Playstation 2, they had to take one d-
ramatic step and give the rights to Vivendi and other game comp-
any which have made Crash into a righteous game empire into a
crumbled and molded empire.

When the PS2 was released between 2000 or 2001, they made a ser-
ies that I have loved for three years now, Jak II, being my fir-
st game, I wasn't a pro and a year later, I saw some bad reviews
on the Precursor Legacy that didn't need none.
This game is a classic, with voices unknown to us and wonderous
magic at every peak and crater, Jak and Daxter: The Precursor is
probably one of my most favourite games of all time.

Pros:

-Dreamy graphics and wonderful animation
-Inconceivable voice acting
-Great Samos Hagai the Green Sage of Green Eco and Daxter fight
-Splendid sound
-Great realistic looking mountains and caverns and jungles
-Beautiful powers
-Great character drawings

Cons:

-A Short Quest, whereas, quests should be long with a few misad-
ventures, this is a short game that can respect new gamers,
-Limited fun. You only fish once, it needed to be more repeatful
and although herd animals twice and well, you get the picture

As you may know, this is E for Everyone which really 6 and up,
but the creatures that pop up at unsuspecting prey may scare yo-
ung ones, it scared my five (now six) year old nephew and he p-
reffered me stay in the village and do nothing. When my niece w-
atched it, (nine years old), treasured each moment and watched
me until after we learned the plot in the Volcanic Crater.
What was odd though was that my nephew thought Jak II and 3 l-
ooked less scarier than this one but they were really a bit so
with Metal Head but anyway, let me get on to the great collecti-
on I'd go get for you newbies to PS2, starting with the most ex-
pensive,

Sly 3: Honour Among Thieves, 39.99$
Ratchet: Deadlocked Same Price
Jak X: Combat Racing Same Price
Destroy All Humans 19.99$
Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy Same Price or below
Jak II Same Price
Jak 3 Same Price
Ratchet and Clank Same Price or below
Ratchet and Clank 2: Going Commando Same Price
Ratchet and Clank 3: Up your Arsenal Same Price
Dogs Life Same Price or below
Escape from Monkey Island Same Price or below
Sly 2: Band of Thieves Same Price
Sly Cooper and the Thievous Raccoonus Same Price or below

Now, I heard that games like God of War and GTA were hard so I'd
try conquering one of the hard games in here like Jak II, or RAC
2, and Jak 3 could be a bit hard.
Now for the most difficult.

Jak II Hard, 9-10
Ratchet and Clank 2 Hard, 8-10
Jak 3 Medium/Hard, 9-10
Ratchet and Clank 3 Medium, 9-10

Now, newbie to the PS2, go and buy you those games, be sure to
look everyplace that sells games!

I hope my review was helpful!

From the creators of crash bandicoot comes Jak and daxter. The games overall feeling is a good one. With a very well designed environment it sucks you right in.

Jak, your quiet hero, player, and protagonist and his buddy daxter are quite the duo. When daxter falls into dark eco he is turned into a ottsel.

And from that point jak sets out to find the one person who can possibly turn his friend back into a human. Which basically covers the plot.

With many traps and puzzles this game requires thinking and strategy as well as fighting technique, which balances out very well.

Overall this game is entertaining for a while but will get old. Nevertheless, it is a great start to a great franchise. However The fact Jak doesnt talk can get annoying sometimes. But it is fixed in later games of course.

Great buy.

I rented this game from BlockBuster back in 2001 after I got my PS2. I was not dissapointed like a few of my friends were.This game has great characters and levels. It starts out when Jak and Daxter got to Misty Island, a forbidden zone. Daxter falls into Dark Eco, A toxic fluid that is very hazardous to anyone. He pops back out transformed as a weasel like creature. They then return back To Samos, The Green Sage to try and change Daxter back. Samos cannot do anything about the problem. The only guy that can help lives far,far away. From there the two must go through dangerous worlds picking up precursor orbs and helping out the different villagers in the different areas to obtain power cells,The most sacred artifact in the game. As u can tell this a very great game. Go Get it

First of I'm noy a kid I'm just don't have a reviewer name. This game was okay just it was way too easy.I defeated the boss of rock village in 1 try and beat the game in 2 days. The story lines a little dumb as well. Your friend(Daxeter) turns in to a ferret-thing and you risk your live to find Gol, the guy who can change Daxter back to his regular form, who's acctuly the bad guy. The scenenery's nice in this game i like to just run around looking at it sometimes and the graphics aren't to shabby either. I didn't want to give this game one or two stars because I don't hate the game I like it but it's not a favorite.

Over all if your not good at video games buy this game but If you are good look for a different title instead.

one word describes this game Incredible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. thier is nothing like it the best game ever

Ok, let's get some things straight. Jak II is an awful game. Anyone who thinks that Jak II is better has something wrong with them. Jak and Daxter, on the other hand, is incredible. This game is like a work of art. The environments are beautiful and incredible. Here is a few of the many levels:

Sentinel Beach-
This level is really easy, but it's fun as hell. You get to run from ferocious dogs, and yes, even chase seagulls. You get to witness some beautiful sunrises, and flawless graphics, too.
Difficulty (1-5)= 1
Rating = 4.5

Forbidden Jungle-
This level is difficult compared to sentinel beach, but still a blast. There is a very cool boss here, too.
Difficulty (1-5) = 2.5
Rating = 4

Precursor Basin-
This level is ok. There is a few difficult goals.
Difficulty (1-5) = 3.5
Rating = 2

This game is great. Buy it now. Just DONT buy Jak II. It's visually boring and the goals are repetitive.

Sure, it may be little more than a hybrid of Crash Bandicoot and Super Mario 64, but it has extremely polished gameplay and loveable characters: Jak, the mute, spiky-haired hero, Daxter, the motormouthed furball, Samos, the old and crotchety Yoda-esque sage, and his hot and intelligent daughter Kiera. Much of the gameplay consists of "collect X number of bronze eggs/Power cells" with some hoverbike action and a few minigames in between but it's still darn fun. All the levels consist of one giant, seamless world with gameplay ranging from the ridiculously easy (Senitel Beach, Geyser Rock) to the unbelievably challenging (Spider Cave, anyone?) My favorite level is the Atlantis-esque Precursor City. It's extremely fun to play, although the game could use a few more boss fights.

The only flaw in Jak and Daxter is the completely unoriginal plot. It doesn't affect the gameplay, but it must have taken the guys at Naughty Dog about 5 minutes to come up with the story for J&D. Here it is: J&D explore a forbidden island that must have been inspired by the elephant graveyard in The Lion King, and Daxter falls into a pit of dark evil stuff and is transformed into an otter-weasel hybrid: an "ottsel" (ooh, how original!) The entire game revolves around the pair journeying north to find the only guy who can change Daxter back (who, of course, turns out to be a bad guy). Along the way, they must fight off enemies called Lurkers (again, how original!) and interact with artifacts from a lost people called the Precursors (can't we be more creative than that?)
But overall, J&D is an almost perfect platformer. Jak 2 and 3 are superior and much more complex and adult-oriented, but that just makes Jak 1 that much more one-of-a-kind.

The game goes like this, you play as a mute, who is on a quest to save the world around different locaitions with 'help' from a guy who turns out to be the villain of the piece. You tackle many enemies uning a duble jump attack, a jump-slam attack and a spin attack. Sounds 'a bit' familiar, eh? This game is basically Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back (Naughty Dog's other and better platforming adventure on PSone) but in a 'lame' outfit. If you really wan a good game, get either Jak II or Ratchet: Deadlocked. Or perhaps Sonic Heroes, or Shadow the Hedgehog, or The Incredibles 2, or... you know, too many games to count, just stay away from THIS one!

Great characters. Nice world. I just didn't like playing this game simple as that. May I suggest a good platformer, sly cooper. Im playing that game now and it made me change my perspective on platformers. I thin the world in this game is too big and i get lost. thats why i didnt like it.

Ether way your making the biggest mistake of your life

I'm Sorry but i have to hit this game where it hurts...

This is the worst game on the face of the earth.

They were smoking some powerfull (BLEEP) to make this game
I'm not saying it's a bad game sereis, they just had a bad start

Get Jak 2, Jak 3, Or Jak X: Combat Racing, Buy this game and i may have to track you down and distroy it

the graphics very good the sound is pretty good overall a great game

With Jak and Daxter, developer Naughty Dog basically retreads over the successes of their past, stopping only to make a few necessary tweaks that had been sorely lacking in similar titles in the past. And that's not necessarily a bad thing, because the platforming genre had by this time been hammered down to a few absolutely key elements that are necessary for such a title to be successful. At a glance, the game presents nothing all that noteworthy; a gratingly bubbly cartoonish cast, a story pulled right out of a coloring book, bright and shiny graphics to match, the existence of an occasional power-up, and a large cluster of bottomless pits. Make no mistake, if you cringe at the thought of spending a few days in front of a game that looks and speaks like something you'd expect to see on a Saturday morning cartoon, this is absolutely not the game for you. If you share a house with more than just a pet or two, your roommate(s), spouse(s) or family member(s) will be making fun of you. If you're at a point, spiritually and emotionally, where you can deal with that... there's a somewhat enjoyable little game buried underneath it all.

The storyline is easy to establish, short on dialogue and heavy on gameplay, and that's just about the extent of the good things I can say about it. The story is bare bones at best, establishing the good guys and the bad guys right off the bat, (the bad guys are the ones with tusks) introducing a conflict (the guys with tusks want to unleash chaos on the world) and a motivation, (Jak's buddy Daxter falls into a pit of mystery goo, transforming him into a furry critter) eventually unleashing you out onto the world to fight evil or some such nonsense. The characters themselves are just paper-thin and almost completely devoid of emotion or appeal.

Jak, the main character, (naturally) is conspicuous in his silence throughout the tale, leaving the majority of the speaking parts to the green sage (an elderly wizard who grants you a miniature nugget of motivation at the outset of each level) and Daxter, (the aforementioned furry sidekick, equipped with enough cheesy one liners to make Rodney Dangerfield spin wildly in his grave) both of whom are way, way over the top in the "flamboyant personality" department. Once in a while, the sage's daughter will pop in to share a new bit of technology or something, and as you visit new towns you'll meet a new character or two, but for the most part it's Daxter and the sage bouncing off of one another and Jak standing around to make confused or frustrated faces.

If you've played any of the post-SNES three dimensional platformers that preceded it, you've probably got a good handle on how Jak and Daxter feels. You've got an overhead camera dangling just behind you at all times, a couple very basic attacks, and the vital ability to jump. As you progress through the game, you'll discover different variations upon Jak's abilities as they're necessitated, such as the ability to somersault, to crouch, to double-jump and to long jump. What's cool is that these abilities aren't something you need to unlock... they're available right from the get-go, so there's a process of experimental discovery that makes you feel directly involved in Jak's progression as a character. On the other hand, the existence of these abilities and instructions on their use are never truly explained, so if you haven't discovered the long jump by the time Jak needs to clear a large canyon by his lonesome, you're in for a long, painful series of trials and errors.

Despite the occasional difficulty in explaining its own controls, the actual gameplay of Jak is largely a lot of fun. Obstacles are challenging without being frustrating, most of the puzzles are just difficult enough to whir your gears without forcing you to seek out a walkthrough in a moment of fury, and the boss fights are wholly entertaining. It makes good use of the power-ups, staggering them early to get you used to their intentions and then introducing them at just the right times as they become more and more important later in the game. It does have a few small hiccups that will continually bother a refined gamer by failing to function as designed at critical moments. For example, Jak doesn't always latch onto the corner of a ledge, Prince of Persia-style, like he's supposed to. Nine times out of ten, he'll perform the brave feat without hesitation, but it seems like the most important jumps are usually where he has the most trouble, slamming into the edge of a platform and then awkwardly vibrating for a moment before falling to his death. Likewise, the extremely touchy nature of the double-jump system also provides for its share of headaches.

Although I complained a bit earlier about the game's hesitancy to fully explain its control scheme, once you've experimented enough to actually discover all of the characters' possible actions, the full control scheme is really very basic and easy to grasp. The way some games map out their button setups, I wonder if they're expecting players to have an extra arm installed to make some certain actions possible (the Xbox release of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas springs to mind.) Jak overcomes this potential flaw by keeping things extremely simple and never requiring the use of more than two or maybe three buttons at the same time, analog stick included. By limiting themselves to the R1 button, the four main control buttons (X,O,Triangle and Square) and the analogs, they ensure you never need to move a finger into an awkward position and allow you to really envelop yourself in the game.

I think I was expecting a bit more out of the graphics, since this was an early title for the PS2 and that's usually when developers are frothing at the mouth over the new hardware and going out of their way to show off everything it can do. The visuals of Jak and Daxter just feel like a marginal improvement over the visuals of Naughty Dog's PSone titles, and certainly didn't age well in the almost five years since it was released. Part of that is due to the cartoony direction taken by the art, but you can't blame the lumpy renderings of the sage's face when speaking or the distractingly simplistic appearance of most of the game's enemies on artistic decision. Some things, such as the distant skylines in the forest and the radiating glow of eco matter in the wild, are very well executed, but on the large this is no showpiece for the PS2's visual capabilities. Bluntly, if you're looking for an exceptional early graphical display on the PS2, keep looking.

Voice acting aside, I can't say much nicer things about the audio. I suppose it's of a higher quality than the tunes found on the old PSone, albeit not by much, but the compositions themselves are so aggravatingly bouncy, joyful and happy that if you aren't, in actuality, a Care Bear, you'll want to rip your hair out by the roots. While I'm not sure something like heavy metal or R&B would suit the feel of the game much better, I was expecting something a little more contemporary and interesting, considering the marketing that announced the game's launch (remember the commercials with the title characters reclining, poolside, with a cluster of bikini-clad young ladies? Yeah, I don't think they were aiming those at the 7-10 year old market.) The voice acting is sound, for the most part, with a few performances standing out above the others. The dark sage's voice perfectly matches his demeanor and appearance, while the green sage really feels like an old man tired of the world that surrounds him, but determined to aid in its resuscitation, all the same. On the other side of the coin, bad voice acting isn't exactly missing, either, and the dialog is so bad that even the competent actors have trouble making their lines come to life.

When stripped down to its very basics, Jak and Daxter is an entertaining play. While there isn't anything the actual gameplay does badly, nit-picky flaws aside, there's also nothing that it really excels at. It's a good next-gen translation of an already-enjoyable system of mechanics, controls and direction, basically reading the map drawn by its forefathers and following it to the gold buried at the end. If it weren't for the abysmal storytelling, the hot and cold voice acting and the sub par graphics and sound, this would probably be deserving of a score well above average, that map is so well-drawn. Unfortunately, I can't honestly say that those factors don't affect my opinion of the disc itself, and they drag my score down by quite a bit. If you can shut your brain off or go to make a sandwich during the speaking parts and accept the visuals for what they are, you'll really enjoy this one. For those of us looking for a complete package, prepare to be somewhat disappointed.

Remember Sly Cooper, and Ratchet and Clank? Well, It's me and t-
he next best animated and safe from harm games, not like those
illegal GTA games... that you kill innocent people and hurt cop-
s, I don't like em! (though Jak II is like em but its not as bad as well you know what)

Graphics, well made... Sandover Village, best... Lava Tube, dar-
kest.
Sound, well constructed, buy now, ask questions later!

Levels

1. Geyser Rock
2. Sandover Village
3. Sentinel Beach
4. Forbidden Temple

and Clank 1 or the series, be sure to check out Ratchet and Cl-
ank: Going Commando.

My husband bought this game for our then 3 and a-half year old son in the hopes that he would interest him in video games in a couple of years. My husband is more of a "first person shooter" gamer. The packaging of this game looked bright and seemed appropriate for a grade school aged kid. Our son learned how to play this game so quickly that he was able to complete all of the levels of play when he turned 4. I am not suggesting that every preschooler can do this though. There were some things he did not have the coordination to complete, like catching 200 pounds of fish with a net or defeating Klaww later in the game. Otherwise, he was teaching me how to find all of the power cells and how to steer the zoomer through the different challenges. This game is not too difficult but there are some difficult challenges. We have collected all of the power cells (101 total) many times but still love going back to the beginning and starting all over again. Our son is now 5 and loves any video game that is age appropriate (rated E and sometimes T if no harsh language). I still love this game since it was our first PS2 game and really my first video game since Ms. Pacman twenty-something years ago.

This Game is stupid and boring. This game has no weapons of anytype. Not even My sister who is 8 can't do it with my help. The only reason I gave it 2 stars for fun is because my sister loves playing it. Most of the missions are almost immpossible such as the power cell mission.If you want a fun game buy Jak 2 which at least has weapons or buy Jak 3. Don't waste $20 on this piece of junk. I'm eventually going to sell this game for $15 Please take my advice don't buy rent first!

Jak and Daxter is a game you have to play to really enjoy it, it has every kind of good thing you'd like to see. mixing jak 2 and jak and daxter is the best thing on earth, just totally awesome. very very very cool.

the best game ever made in america
a basic story line where there aren't crimson guards running after you like in 3 and 2

my rating: ***********************************************!

This is a beautiful(forest,water,beaches) platform game. Very realistic and detailed. Daxter adds the cuteness factor while being the "mascot". Luckily, you have missions; go out and find power cells,etc. Unfortunately, that can get reeally boring after searching and searching. If you don't get everything you can't move to the next part. Probably best to have the strategy guide next to you. On my own I grew frusterated and wasn't close to finishing the game by the time it was due back. I do wonder that if I had bought it, I'd have gotten farther and feel differently. After this, there were two Jak minus Daxter games made which turned me off and reviews for those said that the games were in a new battle type direction, so I never tried any more.

this game has a great story line, graphics, humor, and voices. its gameplay is awesome and its story is intreaguing. I love it. Great adventure. it is very free spirited and great for the entire family.

INTRO.
This game is about a young teenager named Jak and his pal Daxter, who get into lots of trouble...
While tresspassing on the forbidden Misty Island off the coast of Jak and Daxter's home, Daxter falls into a pit of a substance known as Dark Eco: a powerful and destructive force. But just when all hope is lost, he comes flying out again. Except, this time, he's a small, furry, orange creature called an Ottsel, a cross between a weasel and an otter. And both their lives start going in a VERY different direction. The village's sage reprimands Jak and Daxter and says that he doesn't have the power to change Daxter back to his original form. (Daxter, of course, is horrified.) The Green Sage continues on to say that the only person who could change Daxter back was another Sage, one who studied Dark Eco. The only problem is, nobody has seen any of the other Sages in years. So Jak and Daxter set off on their quest to change Daxter back to his human form.

GAMEPLAY
This game, right off the bat, is very fluid. Jak moves like a real person, and the time transitions are well done and look beautiful. The graphics are great and so far I have encountered no glitches in this game. The music is catchy and seems to fit right in with the area Jak is in. (For instance, Sandover Village's music is kind of bouncy and happy, while Rock Village's music is kind of sad and depressing.) The controls are easy to use and I have no complaints about the camera angle either. Yet another good thing is that there are NO LOADING TIMES! I hate it when you go in a room and you have to wait 7 darn minutes to see what's in there. This game, I am proud to say, hosts none of that. The gameplay is almost perfect, except for a few things. The game was...well...more than a bit easy. And while I don't like super hard unbeatable games, this game took a short time to complete. One other bad thing is that to power up various machines in the villages (Such as the Zoomer and the Levitation Device) require things called Power Cells to get going. Unortunately, you have to work for every one, unless you have the money to pay for a select few. That takes quite a while, since the number keeps increasing to make it harder. and unless you know where every single Power Cell is, then you're just going to have to puzzle it out, and that can get tedious.

PROS AND CONS:
Pros:
1. Jak's movements are fluid
2. The different areas are really well done
3. Sunsets, sunrises, etc. look real.
4. Catchy music (Although it can get annoying if you listen to it for a while)
5. The camera angles are good and the controls are easy
6. No glitches so far
7. No loading times
8. The plot is pretty good and the characters are actually original

Cons:
1. This game is easy
2. It's very short
3. This is just my own thoughts, but I wish they made Jak talk in this one.
4. Looking for Power Cells all the time can get boring

OVERALL
I'd say that you should at least give this one a try. Rent it if you're not sure, but buy it if you think you are.

The game wasn't great but it wasn't bad good game good game.

pros:
Daxter is always a good comic relief.
They have pretty good humor when you go through the different places.
It is fun or frustrating to go on your flut-flut.
Jak has some pretty fun to use punch/kick moves.
cons:
The only thing you do in the game is collect power cells by doing tasks or paying some guy or finding scout flies or just finding them, this makes the game extremely repeditive and takes most fun away.
Almost all tasks are frustrating.
Its hard to keep your eco gauge up.
Most zoomer/flut-flut missions are frustrating.
Bosses are frustrating, repetitive and just plain annoying.
Finding stuff is so boring.
Finding precursor orbs(money) is always hard
This game has quite a few flaws in it though it can be fun(rarely) you should choose Jak2 instead even though it has gotten many "rave" reviews.

Ok, I thought this game was pretty good. But hey, I was only eight when I got it. I've seen alot of people saying it stinks. Most of these people are allowed to Ratchet and Clank. I've never played it. I'll put it in specific terms: if you aren't allowed to play alot of T games, this game rocks.
Pros: Awesome graphics
Cons: Too short

...also known as Jak & Daxter: The Precursor Legasy. This game is all about running around a silly free roaming 3D world while beating up repeative enemies you have seen 15646 billion times earlier and collecting tons of crap. I got this game a loooooong time ago. It was fun at first, but then came the titles that could exterminate this game: Ratchet & Clank, Ratchet2, Ratchet3, Jak II, Jak3, Sly Cooper, Sly2, The Urbz, Sonic Heroes... the list is long. Now lets talk about the game's features:

Pros.
Okay graphics.
Cool scenery.
Free-roaming action adventure.

Cons.
Crap voices.
Insanely boring missions.
Veeeryy repeative combat.
Only 3, count them THREE bosses!!!
Soon gets annoying and frustrating.
Sooooo easy.
Very short.
Zilch replay value.
Jak is a MUTE!
Doesnt even compare to Crash Bandicoot.
Stupid music.
Almost every mission involves some Eco boredom.
Zoomer missions are frustrating.

Now see: 3 pros and... about... 13 cons.
That means this game is just a smelly good-for-nothing excuse of an game. I dont play this game anymore, it just collects dust while I entertain myself with REAL titles. They are too many to count so I wont count them.

Graphics: 6.5

Final Verdict:
THIS GAME SUCKS!
Avoid it, run away from it, stay away from it, whatever, just do not, I repeat: DO NOT BUY IT!!!

I praise the good lord that I only rented this game for 7 nights. To be honest it didn't 4 nights. The game is toooo easy and simple. On top of that it is tooooo short. However it was fun for the short 4 nights that I had it. Naughty dog used to the good games like Crash Team Racing and Crash 2 my favorite out of the first three. But this junk errr game or game wanabee is just the example of how good companies can screw up BIG time. The one time I about it is the hoverbike but that is about it. So go out and get a real game like Spyro the dragon:Year of the Dragon which should be cheaper and better than this junk.

This.. game... STUNK!!!!!!!! Do not play. The storyline is absolutely stupid. The missions arent even fun. Just dont play it. It's just a waste of time and money.

"Mommy! Mommy!" cries a little sissy boy. "Can we go to the store and buy Jak and Daxter because i am such a spoiled little brat?" The mom should reply "Well you are a little spoiled brat so you get to get beaten!!" After hours of reckless beating the bruised boy asks again "Now can we go get the game?" the mom should say "That game is to stupid for you. its to stupid for anyone. Ha Ha Ha!!! You dont get the game!!! Now you little brat go do the dishes before i conk your scrawny little butt!"

This is a must buy adventure game.
If you are a fan of Ratchet and Clank, you should like this game.
I am a Ratchet and Clank fan.
So I just love this game.
This game has good moves.
It includes weapons.
The weapons are great as in Ratchet and Clank.
That is why this is THE BEST ADVENTURE GAME!

this game is borring its only for little kids i have all 3 jak games 2,and3 are good but this game is for little kids whoever likes this game is stupid buthole
