i cant stand this game its so stupid. it consists of one very big very stupid world full of these little stupid trinkets to collect. i mean youre running around collecting eggs in in one big stupid annoying world full of crappy camera angles and poorly executed scenarios. the characthers are the very definition of DUMB and the controllers are very akward. the music is very dull as if there was no effort at all put into it. and the relaxed atmosphere of the game makes you sick of playing it. i cant stand it it has these stupid nintendo style missions. hey if i wanted a nintendo 64 i would have gotten one. this game really dosent fit on with the playstation 2. and how annoying can daxter be everytime you die he gives you a mouthload. he never shuts up and hes not funny either. sure maybe teenaged girls would think so but seriously he has an awful pitch to his voice that makes him horrible to listen to. all in all jak and daxter is a lame boring nintendo like game i cant STAND THIS HORRIBLE EXCUSE FOR A GAME. its so dumb its for little kids only. get spyro instesead its for psone but it blows this one AWAY.
platforming garbage.

i cant beleive this game. what is with the poularity of jak and daxter. i dont get it one bit i dont understand all the good things said about it. i think it sucks. its sort of like a mario game and we call know that pile of crud dosent deserve to be near a ps2 as he is well near his deathpoint. i am thourghly disappointed by jak and daxter in every way possible. its got boring characthers boring music crappy controls an awful storyline and bassicly nothing to do inside the levels. ijust cant find myself getting into it. theres nothing really all that great about it. the graphics are a plus for jak and daxter but thats all. basicly weve seen it done before many times weve even seen it done on n64. if youre a living in the past and are a big fan of super mario this games for you. but if you wanna join ps2 gamers and gamers of the NEW generation youll have to look elsewhere.
WOW THIS IS REALLY BAD

jak and daxter i must say is one of the worst games ive ever played. the characthers are garbage the storyline is sloppily and the music is so unmemorable. it starts you off by making you sit trough a crappy cut scene. the characther designs in this game are simply poor. in the begining some awfully desingned fat old green man gives you instruction then shouts get out of here. the games characther personality elemants are simply pathetic no characthers are likeable and can be bonded with nore does anybody say anything even remotely funny. in to the buildup i would have expected good graphics i was right on that but wheres the scenery everything is so choppy looking. its just a bunch of rocks and grass nothing no extrodinary detail or background animations to flavor it a little. its just a bunch of simple stuff and after this buildup i would have expected a little better. the amount of detail in characthers is also quite poor and the controllers are kind of tricky. when jak walks he simply looks pathetic the controllers are bad and the music is horrible i could make better music with my mouth. its almost totally unplayable for me im surrounded by so many trees its unbelivable. it gets annoying that everything looks so average your surrounded by trees the characthers are annoying you have an annoying sidekick the music is garbage and the controls are hard what a waste of money. ill tell you this any game from the crash bandicoot seres beats this without a doubt. i say that because there playable its not just trashy trees like in jak and daxter. its a real game with fun characthers jak and daxter is nothing more than an average tree poluted peice of trash with a geeky blond supposive superheroe and a dumb little annoying rodent. get a game in the spyro crash or rachet and clank series. jak and daxter is the worst platform game ive played in a very long time and barely even deserves the star i gave it above. for people that do like it id love to hear reasons why go ahead and play rachet and clank then youll know what a good game is supposed to be. it sure isent this one jak and daxter is so annoying and worthless i wouldent even recomond wasting 4 bucks at the video store for it. what an awful sloppily exucuted barely playable at times games i have purchased. i really dont understand the build up of this one. holy high heavens its not even as good as spyro enter the dragonfly. even newcomers to the playstation 2 would be disappointed at the way this one plays. IT IS QUITE SIMPLY THE WORST GAME IVE EVER PLAYED.what i would recomend is that you STAY AWAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY FROM THIS GAME. ITS THAT BAD.
Great game

This game looks like it has great graphics it also looks funny.
This game looks great because I like Crash Bandicoot games and I heard this game is just like Crash Bandicoot games. The abilities look cool and you start off with a spin like Crash and a punch. This game looks like a good game so you should preorder it or wait until you can buy it. I CAN'T WAIT.
to good to be true

wow at first the game didnt sound all that good but I have much more to say that this game ruled all.the only con was that the game was short,2 hours to complete but this game was tough though.it was better than any oher game I had. Daxter was halareus through the game espiacly the end.
A.K.A: Crash Bandicoot: Help, I have huge ears!

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!
Good but not so good.

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.
Pick one: Play Jak and Daxter Or kiss a dog in the mouth

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
