The start of a great series
I absolutley adore the Jak and Daxter games. I recall, when I first got a PS2, which was years ago (I had the big, black, old one so you do the math), I would rent games for it in the movie store. I saw Jak and Daxter and it looked exactly like my type of game. And so, of course I loved it. This game is flawless, the graphics are awesome (I adore the cartoon type graphics, it suits it so well), and the characters are loveable. I fell in love with Jak when I started playing as him (yes I'm one of those weird girls who thinks that guy characters are hot). As a pair, Jak and Daxter are awesome. I never and will never know to this day if Jak was a mute or not in the first game. Sometimes he acted like he was about to talk when Daxter cut in instead. ... Read More
Jak and Daxter
Jak and Daxter is fun for all ages. Great game to play with a friend or young one.
Perhaps it was Good for it's Time... (by Laura)
I'm torn about this game. For the most part, I don't really have fond memories of it but memories of frustration; which is quite unusual for me. I've actually had this game since I was very young. If a game is hard enough (it must be extremely difficult for me), I can get tired of playing it and put it down, as well as forget about it, for several years. Then, later in my life, I dig it back out to complete it (often my skills have improved since I last played). So, in that respect, it occasionally takes me years to complete a game. I'll give you the cons and the pros in that order. Ultimately, it's up to you to decide whether or not this game is even worth your time.
Cons:
1. This game is one player only. This isn't ... Read More
Pretty Good Platformer
Seeing how the PS2 is a decade old now, it's easy to find discounted games that one may have missed out on when it was first released, as is the case with myself and the first entry into the Jak & Daxter series. Overall, The Precursor Legacy is a pretty good platformer with a few stumblings.
Keeping in mind the year when the game came out, the artwork is great - simple but great. Equally amusing is Jak's wisecracking sidekick Daxter, and in my opinion, the quirky one who adds a lot of the spice to the game that it has (Jak's kind of a wiener).
This isn't breaking any new ground: it's your basic platformer that has you running around areas, capturing items (Precursor orbs which look like huge Willy Wonka golden eggs), beating ... Read More
Great game and a PS2 classic!
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!
