One of the best titles for the PSP

I got this game for my Bday last night. I must say i am impressed, not very buggy,good Graphics,All right audio, and decent game play. It maybe the best PSP title out or close to the best.Daxter takes place before Jak2. Jak is inprisoned and Daxter has to Save him, Daxter takes a job as an Exterminator, so he can explore the Haven city in search of Jak. You basically just kill Bugs on every level and search for Items(And ofcourse jak). The game play is very cool you get Upgrades as you progress through the Story and theres a cool Bug wrestling mini game and a few Dream mini games.

adding my two cents to what everyone is already saying.

The best game currently out there for the PSP.
I researched all over the web and this game was rated as overall #1 nearly everywhere (and if not, #1 then it was #2).
You will not be disappointed with this highly entertaining game.

A game that's worth your time.

Seems like the PSP is finally getting around to some really good games. Daxter's been an awesome one to play so far. I haven't finished it yet, but from what I understand it's short. However, short missions and whatnot are good. I'm generally on the run between classes and work so the shortness makes it easy for me to play a level or two. I definitely recommend this for everyone. Daxter's humor alone gives this game five stars. The graphics/sound/gameplay are also another five stars easily. Get this game if you want a really fun game.

Great game, no replayability

Daxter, is a great game. It offers unique levels, challenging bosses, and several vehicles levels that vary from driving and gunning. It is pretty easy to pick up and just start playing. However if your used to the sensitivity/accuracy of the PS2 dual-shock analog sticks you'll be disappointed with the PSP. It is not a problem with the game but actually the hardware. It caused me several deaths during the construction site level when I was running along open steel girders and a slight tap of the analog stick sent Daxter plumiting to his doom. It was not as bad as it might seem since you can save at almost any point in the game, the load times are fast, and you have unlimited lives as far as I can tell. Overall the game provided a solid 10 hours of fun. My favorite part of the game had to be the dream sequences when you play some of the most memorable scenes from movies such as the Matrix, Lord of the Rings, or Indiana Jones. What I thought was a major downfall of the game was the lack of replayability. You collect orbs and other items throughout the game, and unlock special features like the ability to watch any cutscene again. Which is pointless if you have already beat the game you've seen everything. There is a Bug Combat minigame that you can play, but when you break it down all your doing is playing paper-rock-scissors.

Conclusion: Daxter is a great platformer that will keep you busy for hours. In my opinion it is one of the better games for the PSP. It was fun throughout the whole game, but when I beat it I just didnt have any desire to pick it back up.

And we have a winner!

After 10 months with my PSP and Godfather, both Grand Theft Auto's, MVP Baseball and Lumines I am completely hooked on Daxter. It's the most fun, the wittiest and prettiest of all the games. Daxter has now justified my purchase of the PSP. It's THE game to get.

Favorite PSP game so far!!

I bought this for my PSP since I really liked the Jak&Daxter games for the PS2. This game did not fail to pull me in and become a true favorite for me.

Daxter has more personality than quiet Jak, and somehow I don't miss Jak at all in this game. Like Jak games, Daxter gets to ride cool machines, use cool weapons and explore interesting locale, as well as kill off some pretty gnarly creatures/bugs and figure out some tricky moves.
I have completed this game by killing the final boss and finding all my 1001 orbs, but I am still not at 100% done!!

In order to get 100%, You have to reach gold levels in the dream sequences. Well, I am still working on that one...and I seem to have missed 3 bugs along the way somehow! There is so much to figure out and explore and collect that it stays true to the style of the Jak & Daxter games that I came to love for the PS2.

Another cool aspect of this game, are the dream sequences (as before mentioned). You work on these when you get a chance to get back to Daxters bed. As you make your way through the game and collect orbs, you gain new dream sequences that are fun to watch and play. Daxter goes to sleep and becomes a different character...(ie: Matrix, Braveheart, Indiana Jones, and Lord of the Rings characters). As you beat dream levels, you gain life bars, new moves and gain new secrets...But beware...it takes some pretty fast fingers to win these up to the gold levels, as I have mentioned.

Another aspect of the game is: "Bug Combat". Along the way IN THE GAME again, you are also collecting "bugs, tokens and bug powers" while you play. Than you try your hand at "Bug Combat". It is kinda fun (but not great!) it is basically a game of "Rock, Paper, Scissors" as you choose weapons and shields for your bug, to fight the psp bug. One bug tops the other with their choices of shield/spit/claw. In the game you can also find or win funny items like pants, masks, and a hat for daxter. These are fun and interesting, but not an important part of winning the game.

Finally, if needed, this game has a guide at the Daxter webpage of the Playstation U.S. website, if you get stuck. It may come in handy as I found I was stuck a couple times in various locations and had no idea how to get out...if you don't get out...you cannot move on. It also helps you locate those last and final orbs, masks, and bug combat items that you couldn't find.

There is not really a ton of great games for the PSP out there as I am sadly finding...but this one is my top favorite so far and worth the purchase. ENJOY!" It takes time to complete, and is fun all along to watch and play.

The Best

As a parent I'm extremely pleased with this game. It was well worth the money. This was the first game we purchased after buying our psp. My kids had really liked the Jak and Daxter series of games. Some are better than others. This is definitely one of the best in my opinion, if not the best. I don't usually play games much anymore, but have played the first few levels and found it to be a really fun game. My 12 year old thinks it's awesome. I'm just hoping there are a few more games out there that are as good as this one.

This game has it all

Daxter is one of the most fun games ever made, and it was designed for the PSP so it plays incredibly well. It starts out a little slow, but I didn't want it to end. The levels are HUGE, and there is a zero load time engine that almost eliminates load times... almost...

Its part adventure, part shooter, has humor, innovative levels and puzzles,
there is even a hot elven chick with big hooters.

Simply an amazing game, its like a contemporary Mario 64.

Recommended!!

Very cool graphics, very good movement & response to controls, cool characters, beautiful environments. ...As Daxter, you're basically supposed to kill bugs & collect gems. And sometimes you have to figure out HOW to reach (or get into) certain areas, so there's a certain amount of "puzzle element" to this game. ....I must admit, I was a little bored with it in the beginning (ie: in the 1st-level hotel), but very soon after, the game just got more interesting! New enemies are added, new environments, bigger goals, better weapons...! This has turned out to be one of the more fun titles I've owned for the PSP! Plus it costs about $20.00 -- a very cool value! (NOTE: I made a mistake on the "star rating" but now I am unable to change it. I wanted to give this game 4 stars, not just 3)
