This is a really good game, my children are 3 and 2 years old (they can't play be themselves but), they ask me to play "Jak" so they can view it (as a cartoon).
I live in Mexico and Jak (well Daxter) speaks in Spanish and it's great!
Some people say PS2 is for big people, with titles like this one, they cannot longer say that.
(Does someone knows where can I find a real Orb? Bateria?) :D
Fun for all ages

Jak and Daxter has impressive graphics and gameplay. I really like how the camera angle can shift a full 360 degrees smoothly so you can see what is behind you or off to the side. You can see anything! And what easy controls! This is a great game for just about any age. My best friend and I are 22 years old and we can't stop playing it. I only wish it were two player mode, that way I can beat her while we are playing together instead of impatiently waiting for my turn... ;)
Highly recommended, 5++ stars.
Truly Enchanting

While this game's ending was a slight disappointment to me, I loved it.
1. The controls were very easy to slip into and use from the moment I loaded it in.
2. Load times are zilch. Even when you die and the game reloads from the last spot, the load time is negligible.
3. The story is a variation on a theme, but it's originality of characters is to be applauded. From the crotchety old green sage, to your smart alec sidekick, to the lecturing, long winded blue sage. I still can't figure out what Farthy is supposed to be though.
4. The graphics are very well done and use the effect of 3d animation very well.
I do think the game is a bit short, I finished this in two days, upsetting my gamer friend at work who still doesn't believe I did it.
Overall this game is entertaining, fun and very well done. It's worth the investment for the whole family. From my daughter who likes to play too, to my father in law who heckles me in the background when i fall off a cliff into molten lava...

This game is so much fun.
Jak is the main character with his furry friend Daxter going along for the ride on his shoulders. Daxter's do nothing job is kibitzing. his dialogue is entertaining, scathing and often hilarious. A sidewalk superintendant of sorts.
Jak plays his role well with many good moves and fine built in control of the figure.
The graphics are nothing short of spectacular. A lot of thought was put into creating new and different locations and game play.
Dispatching the final boss, a gigantic robot is actually fun.
It's been many a game since I could make that statement.
GREAT!!! but not as good as crash

WE THOUGHT WE WOULD GET BY WITH PLAYING MOSTLY PSX GAMES. AS SOON AS MY 5 1/2 YEAR OLD SAW THIS GAME AT A FRIEND'S HOME. WE HAD TO GET IT. IT'S A GOOD GAME FOR ALL AGES. ALTHOUGH, I MUST ADVISE--YOU JUST ABOUT NEED A MEMORY CARD FOR THIS AND MOST PS2 GAMES I HAVE PURCHASED.
Best platformer

Hands down, this is the best platformer on any system. Buy it if you like the genre, rent it before buying it if you don't or are new to the genre. Gorgeous, funny, just right difficulty, and just right length. Recommended.
Dark Eko? No Prob!

I bought this game in December when I purchased my PS2. I completed it last night at like 3am...no, it hasnt taken me 7 months to finish. I like this game so much, I keep letting my friends and family borrow it, and I finally got it back for an extended period of time.
Being a HUGE fan of the Crash Bandicoot games for PSOne, I picked this one up based upon the Naughty Dog logo. They developed some awesome games for the 1st generation playstation, I assumed that the 2nd generation game would rock as well. It does! The graphics in this game are suberb, it is like playing a cartoon. The backgrounds and environments are lush and vivid, no load times, and an awesome plotline complete the total package.
This game is great for younger gamers and those who arent hardcore gamers at heart. It appeals and works well across all genres and likes. I am impressed with the smooth and seamless control and the speedy gameplay. The game is perfection! I highly reccomend that this game be added to any game library, it is truly one of the "must-haves." I cant wait for a Jak and Daxter 2!!
Awsome Game

Jak and Daxter is probably the best video game i have ever played.
the plot is very interesting and the levels are diverse but still connected. An immersive world with amazing graphics. The only problems are that it is a little too short and also the end after you get all of the precursor orbs is disappointing, although the normal end to the game is pretty cool.
Definately buy this game if you like adventure games like mario or crash bandicoot.
