Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am a 40-something gamer and as an adult gamer time is limited.I usually have a million and one things all in competition for my precious free time.That is why I love Jak and Daxter.The game is very easy to learn, only took me about 5 minutes, and is straight forward in communicating the mission objectives.The best attribute in this game is the ability to save anywhere!There are times when I only have a hour or a half hour to play any games.A game that requires I play for a minimum of two hours before hitting a save point is a game I would tend to avoid.But Jak and Daxter and its "save anywhere" function is just what all adult gamers have been looking for.But be warned, this game is highly addictive.So, while you may sit down with the intention of playing for only a hour, several will go by as you become totally immersed in the great graphics and hilarous voice acting.I just can't wait to see what that little guy will say next, he cracks me up!I highly recommend this game for all ages, and especially for busy adult gamers who are looking for a quick game fix inbetween PTA meetings.

Jak II Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First and foremost, dont buy this game expecting to play the original on a different world.While some of the controls are the same and the characters are the same, the gameplay is very different.This may turn some people off, and it may make others look at this game is a very different light.
Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy was a great game, and so is the sequal, Jak II.One of the first things that you will notice is that the "hub" world, Haven City, is HUGE! There are numerous alleys, shops, buildings, caverns and dark places for you to explore.The city is massive and covers a lot of ground.The setting has been darkened up a bit as well, Jak has gone through some...interesting changes since we saw him last.His powers have increased...as well as his attitude.
The majority of gameplay is taken up by mission structured objectives.You need to go to point A and do B and your reward is C.The missions range in scope from racing to escort missions.The game developers have obviously taken a hint from the Grand Theft Auto series in terms of gameplay.Virtually every vehicle can be hijacked and ridden around the city.Guards are patrolling the streets, and if you make trouble, they will chase you down and shoot some pretty wicked weapons in your general direction- to avoid them you need to either hide or outrun them.
The camera is great, and can be repositioned to help you out with the trouble spots.As expected, the graphics are smooth and lush, with a great style of animation incorporated into the final product.There are no load times and the scenery flows together nicely.As I mentioned earlier, the world on which we find outselves is massive and there are many objectives to accomplish before we can unlock all its secrets.The addition of a map option is a great help as the size of Jak II's world(s) can sometimes be overwhelming and confusing.
The only thing that detracts from the game is the difficulty level on some of the missions.I have found myself trying for over an hour at times to clear one objective or another.The game can be downright brutal, cruel, sadistic and even petty...yet I always find myself going back into the fray for more.This game is unique and by all means shoud be rented before you go and buy it.Naughty Dog has tried something new, they have tried to grow with the times and create something that stands on its own.As mentioned earlier, some might be put off by the new direction that Jak and Daxter have taken, others will applaud the developers for the fresh new look.
Its a mixed bag...some like it, some hate it...the best advice: rent before you buy...its safer that way.
