Forums - Sony Discussion - How good is Jak & Daxter?

Hey!

 

So apparantly with All Stars coming out soon, there is a reduced price for the Jak & Daxter collection. Add in the fact that I am a huge Uncharted fan and feel a certain love towards Naughty Dog for what they have given me with Uncharted => I am beginning to wonder if I should play the Jak games. Now I really haven't played a single one and my main thought of it is like.. more open.. cartoon, ..I really dont know! Basically its safe to say I havent spoiled anything xD. But how well do the games stack up today? Like are they fun?

The reason I ask mostly now is because of the All Stars intro. Having Jak and Ratchet fight really sparked my interest. Maybe its because it was just so cool, or maybe its because Drake came in shortly after and pretty much helped Jak XD. I DONT KNOW!

So should I play it? Do you think its a good game / series? Worth the ..15-20€ (I believe it is something like that).

Let Aldro know! <3

Go for it!

I think the first game is an all-time great. The second one wasn't as great, but I applaud the developers for mixing up the formula. And I think the third one got a little closer to greatness.

Daxter on PSP is really good too :)



I played this game 10 years ago and it was fairly good, the grafix were fantastic also



Playing the first one now. It's decent.



the second and third games are great the first...aight.

Get them, I brought the collection and the graphics look great and its really fun more fun than sly a little less fun than ratchet.



Naughty Dog is respected for a reason. That is because everything they have made ends up being a great game. Yes Jak and Daxter is good.




       

I recently got the collection and its decent/fun. The writing is kinda funny and witty, and the gameplay consists of hack'n'slash, platforming and exploring, and collecting a ton of items. I'm enjoying it overall and it is a change of pace from what I usually play so that is a plus as well.

The negatives for me are that it can seem a bit dull and repetitive, since it is somewhat antiquated and simplistic.



 

The first one is great, the second one is great for different reasons as everything changed, and the the third one is just okay as naughty dog did the sequel curse in the third game when the tried too many ideas few of which were implemented well.



Repetetive scares me, especially since its like 3 games or something xD.

Fuck it, im getting it at the end of this month. Will have to live on noodles for a month since All Stars also comes out xD
