one of the years best games

I am positive this is one of the years best games. It has a lot of action and an interesting story. The only problem is that the missions are pretty hard. You have to try over and over about 4-5 times to complete them. I myself cussed and threw my controler, but a minute later I was on to the next mission. It's wierd how you can hate it one minute, but then love it the next. There is not that much cussing in the game either. there are like three bad words in the whole hour and a half i played it. The worst ones are crap and piss off. over all, this game is a keeper(if you have a good temper).

EXCELLENT!!!!!!!

This game is incredible, I have played it so much I am starting to have dreams about it. The graphics are the best I have ever seen on any game on PS2. Be warned if you played the first game it is nothing like it, the game is much more challenging and it is a much deeper and larger game. The story is great and the movies and voice acting is great. It is a bit too difficult for my 10YO, but our 13 YO neighbor seems to really enjoy the game. It is also a long game, I am about 18 hours into it and still have a ways to go. I highly recommend this game to anyone that considers themselves a good gamer. Excellent game.

It is hard but it worth it

Jak II as everybody says it is very different from the prequel, that much that I don't remember Jak as it was, now, it talks, but he is p**s off. Daxter doesn't say anything when Jak drops down, I miss that. Guns, not as good as Ratchet and Clank but they work, actually in this game is better that you have skills in driving, very good skills.
It gets frustrating, if you are used to giving up, don't buy this, it's a challenge, I don't get how people can finish this in 16 hours.
The big city doesn't provide anything to the game, only obstacles in mini-games.
It moves very well, the graphics are pretty damn good, the sound so so.
But is difficult, difficult, very difficult sometimes, it is that hard that when something is not that hard, you say, Is that it?
I would put 5 stars if they put an Easy, Normal, Hard setting and if they shrink the size of the Hub city, waste of time there.
See you!

Phenomenal

Outstanding sequel, better than the first. Great game play, lots of variety and beautiful graphics and sound. This may be the best (and most addicting) video game I have played in the last 20 years. Seriously.

Jak and Daxter sequel

i think this is a fun game. although i do think that Nauty Dog purposely made it frustrating to the point of controler dammage, all missions are possible, they just require luck to get by as most are timed hideiously to the piont where you get it on the button, or your off by a second! I found this game to be rather frustrating on all the missions so far...

but Jak does have redeming qualities, the music and game play keep me hooked, and the remarks are funny... yes Jak does talk in this one, and hes rather peeved.

i love this game, but i want to throttle the game testers!

i would have given it five if not for the frustration factor...

This is a fantastic game. I played the first and I thought it was missing something. With this game it has EVERYTHING. You can do just about anything. The great thing is has a grand theft auto feel to it. Overall I loved it.

Good game...but...

We loved Jak I and my oldest daughter (10) has been wanting Jak 2 for a while now and so I finally ordered it. We think the game is graet and MUCH bigger than the first but my one gripe is the language that is used. I know it is rated T for Teen but I didn't appreciate the foul language that is used. I don't know if giving you examples would be apprpriate or not so I will not. That upset me about the game but it is otherwise a good game.

Does everything HAVE to be Grand Theft Auto?

Let it be said that I like platformers, I like adventure games, and I don't need everything to be "adult" to have fun. Half of my game collection are the "kiddie" games with surprisingly deep gameplay and well-crafted art direction. With that in mind, the first "Jak & Daxter" game fit right in with me and my tastes. Since the two sequels (of which this is one) also got such high marks, I picked them up as well.

I'm now wishing I'd saved my money.

I'm not as put off by the "mature" content of "Jak II" as many of the other 3-star-and-under reviewers, but I do feel like it's been shoe-horned in to try and make a game more "appealing" to an adult crowd. (It reminds me of what Ubisoft did for "Prince of Persia: Warrior Within" in a sense - give us a gritty anti-hero who's really just annoying.) I find the difficulty level on par with the original "Crash Bandicoot," I loathe the vehicle use, and the whole cityscape and subsequent interaction feels like a direct copy of the "Grand Theft Auto" series.

What I wanted was a fun, funny, challenging-but-not-frustrating platformer with an enjoyable storyline, like the first game. What I got was a clumsy crime-spree-laden and angst-ridden amalgam of all the things that appeal to the hardcore-gamer and/or frat-boy demographics. What happened?

Jak 2 is the sequel to the Jak and Daxter franchise. Its is much darker and much more complex. It is also much more realistic. This game is for hardcore thinkers and gamers. Action and puzzle sequences fuse together to create an honestly unique game play. There is occasional language but it is usually necessary in this game to help the darkness. This game is the pinnacle of great gaming for the ps2.
