This game reminds me a lot of the older Harry Potter games, but instead of carrying a magic wand like Potter did, Daxter carries a lethal bug swatter. There's a lot of exploring around the different environments to collect stuff Daxter needs, much like in the Potter games, as well as a storyline and short animated clips that follow along the storyline. It also guides you through the various controls for the moves you need Daxter to do, again, much like the old Potter games did.

The graphics are outstanding, the storyline is fun and interesting, and violence really is minimal since it is bugs Daxter is killing, after all, and not human characters. The environments in the many levels are fun to explore although at times can be tricky, as one wrong move can send Daxter plummeting over a steep edge or send him into oblivion.

The music in 'Daxter' is pleasant to listen to for long stretches, unlike some games where the music gets obnoxious pretty quickly like in the game 'Thrillville'.

This game keeps me hooked for hours at a time and is well worth its price. It definitely has replay value as well since the first time through usually results in missing quite a few of the collectible objects. I know I'll be replaying it repeatedly not only because it's fun, but also to go back and see if I can get the objects in the more challenging locations.

If you're having a hard time deciding which game to get next for your PSP and don't already have this, choose this one...you won't be disappointed! :)

This is a great PSP game 5 out of 5 stars

This is a great PSP game for all ages. It is a necessity if you've played the other Jak games.It tells about how Daxter took up a job as a bug exterminator and ultimately freed Jak from the Baron.There is a ton of levels with 3 challenging bosses. The second boss took me a while to beat but you'll understand it after a while. You can use Daxes electric fly swatter to squash bugs or catch them on fire with his flamethrower. And you can play other players with its wi-fi connection.Even if you haven't played the other games you'll love this one. It is my personal Favorite. I would say this is the best PSP game yet and is a must have for Jak fans and non Jak players alike.

I Love the PSP Again!

This is by far the best PSP game I've ever played. The graphics look great, the action is fun and challenging, and the story is whimsical. Finally, a good PSP game. If you like Mario type games you'll like this one for sure. There's lots of jumping, climbing, and riding. The cut scenes are some of the best I've seen on a handheld. The sound is great and the dialogue is well done. The rendering of the environments is smooth and fluid. Nothing really looks bitmapped like on some other games. The colors look beautiful on that little LCD screen. It looks about as good as a PS2 game. I had pretty much given up on the PSP, so I'm glad I took a chance on this dandy.

a great sequel to a wonderful series

The Jak and Daxter games for the PS2 have always been some of my favorite games and Naughty Dog rarely let's their fans down. This is another great game in the series although as you would imagine from the title you play as Daxter alone. You are an exterminator and you go around killing different types of bugs and nasties. The boss battles are great and well done, the game is enormous considering it is a portable game! The graphics are PS2 quality. The loading times aren't that bad, compared to some other PSP titles. My favorite level so far is the subway where you have to jump from one train to the other, it's pretty wicked. There are even minigames sprinkled about, when you collect enough precurser orbs (the copper looking egg things) you can return to Daxter's bed and he will have a dream sequence! You play different action heroes depending on the dream for example: Neo from the matrix, the guy from Braveheart, and others. These are button mashing mini games where you have to press the corresponding button in the order shown to hit the bad guys that come at you. The Matrix level is particularly great. The camera is probably done the best they could do on the PSP but it is frustrating at times. Pick this game up for yourself or the jack and daxter fan in your family! You won't be disappointed.

A pretty good game

This game has alot of things to do for a while but it isn't very hard. I really thin it should have been a lot harder and a little more open. But overall I think it is pretty good.

Fantastic!!!

I had read so many reviews about how awesome this game was. So I bought it. After playing it for twenty minutes or so I was bored with it. It's not bad, and I can see how some people might like it. But really, it's nothing to rave about. Sorry Daxter, but you really didn't impress this gamer.

Play more

Ok if your just a person looking for a good game to sit and relax and play then read my review.

First off lets start with the graphic quality. People say the graphics are amazing. Are they really? The answer is no. I mean for that small of a system they are good dont get me wrong but people act like the graphics are the best ever and no there not they look like all the other psp games. So finnaly I give graphic quality a 7 our of 10 because they are good for such a smalll system but people stop exagerating.

Ok now moving on to the gameplay.Let me tell you this, I havent played the other Jak games so I dont know the hole story or anything but that should be no reason of what I think of the over fun of the game. Ok well I can honestly say I have not beaten the game yet but so far it is pretty lame. You find yourself doing the same things over and over and after awile you will come along a fun little even. I mean think about it, your a little weasel thing running around with a fly swatter hitting bugs. How fun can that possibly get? Answer: Not very.
Camera angles can get very annoying right in the midst of action and cause you to die a lot. so overall gameplay I give a 6 out of 10.

Just please I beg you do not buy this game, rent it. It will keep you entertainment for awile but thats about it, it gets boring fast.
