this game is awesome! the graphics are soo vivid it feels like you are really there!! the makers of this game didn't slack on ANYTHING graphics, sounds, creativity! it has it all..... you can adventure off on your own it isn't just a one path boring game like I've seen before. I wouldn't recomend it for little kids because it tends to get a bit fusterating at times...but it should be no problem to anyone else. this game is an adventure game so if you don't like trudging through swamps and getting lost now and then this game isn't for you. since it is so expensive you may want to rent it first but I would definately say this is the best!
screw this game

This game's instruction manual is a map of the game's world. Naughty dog out did them selves with the details. The details are amazing because ther so yery detailed with all the colores and landscapes and with 17 areas and vehicles, characters and creatures and even a secrt movie. Yup from geyser rock to the dark eco silo jak and daxter is the greatest game everrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

What kinda game is this? I thought this would be an awsome game! But no, its not that great. At first you see the amazing landscape, fun fights, and different contraptions. Then after a day.......... the game keeps repeating. There is almost no new enemies. COME ON LET ME FIGHT SOMETHING ELSE. There is practicaly one boss, and jak can't jump. He tries, but cant. Hes almost as bad as the dude in kingdom hearts. And what the heck is with this idiot Daxter? Whats his point in the story? The comic releif? NO WAY. He says idiotic things like LOOK OUT or AHHHHH or even dont die on me Jak, I need someone to feed me. JEEZ WHAT THE CRAP IS THE POINT OF HIM. He cant do anything, just flies around like a weirdo. If your looking at good adventure games, look at Rachet and Clank, Kingdom Hearts, and Harry Potter. Try to stay away from this game, or be prepared to throw it against the wall.
Good, but not the best thing since swiss cheeze.

Great graphics, decent gameplay. It does have camera clipping problems, not to mention framerate problems and it's too short. You can beat it in 2 nights. It's also just too "cutesy" for my taistes. The humor wasn't all that funny either. NOLF had better writting for example. When it comes down to it, I had a lot more fun playing Metal Gear Solid II than J&D.
Over-hyped.

It has good graphics, controls, animations, and the gameplay is decent. It's too short (can beat it in 2 nights), has framerate issues, not to mention camera clipping problems. The humor isn't that funny. NOLF had better writing for example. All in all, I had a lot more funny playing Metal Gear Solid II than J&D.
NOT happy with SECRET "ending"

The game is great,, but after securing 100 powercells and spending hours navigating back to the Citadel the much touted "secret ending" was only 10 seconds of trite like "look at the pretty colors". We expected something similar in quality to the original ending, especially after days and days spent in search of the 100 powercells. Our time would have been better spend spin-kicking the cattle.
A Good Experince Of PS2 Gamers

The Naughty Dog Team has just created Jak and Daxter, which is a good experince of Playstation 2 gamers. The 3 Crash Banidcoot games were created by Naughty Dog and scored millions and most PS1 and PS2 gamers owned them. Since Nauhgty Dog created another game, I knew I had to play it. It`s graphics were a little bit too much cartoony,so I gave the graphics a 2. The gameplay is awesome and the action is non stop. You get to preform awesome moves like spinning dives to body tornados to quick punches. This game I didn`t rate a 4 or 5 because that it`s really hard to understand but the action got it up to a 3 at least.
Ok, simple but ok

When I first got this game it was the first game I got on my playstation2 so I thought it ws just great because I had not yet experienced better games. To complete the game totaly, you must capture 100 power cells. After hard work and many long hours I succesfuly obtained these 100 power cells eager to find out why I needed them. For those of you who have not played this game stop reading now. I needed those 100 power cells to open a silow. So jak and daxter stanp in front of the slowly opening gateand all that is behind it is a white light. They stare at it dumbfounded
untl final Kira exclaims its beautiful and in no time Im staring at the rolling credits, bad ending. Mega bad ending, Terible ending. Good graphics(kind of cartoonish), bad animation, jerkey characters and an entriging exploration. Ounce you really get down to it it is a very simple game that kids under 10 will really enjoyed.
