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

Try all 3 Jak games out.

I own and loved Jak and Daxter (the first one). A very fun game. The second one, Jak II, was too out of bounds for what made the first game awesome. I only got about 1/2 through Jak II.

I only played the third one for a couple hours, and I enjoyed every bit of it. From what I recall, they mixed up the environments of the first and second in the third to create a better game.

Jak II seems like it wants to be Ratchet and Clank/GT/GTA/Tony Hawk all at the same time, and it doesn't really excel in any of the areas. Hard to believe this is a Naughty Dog game honestly.



Jak I is more of a spiritual successor to Crash Bandicoot, Jak II was an underwhelming GTA clone, and Jak III was by far the best in the series. Overall a solid trilogy but the third was the only one that really captivated me.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

The first is really a great game, an excellent platformer. I have the collection and i beat the first one again but I get bored on the second. Haven't played the third. The first game alone is worth it imo.



jak 2 was the first game i got for ps2 that really resonated with me in a big way

that was a while back but i remember enjoying the open environments, the diverse gameplay and the characters themselves ( especially daxter )

Picked up the Sly and Jak trilogy. Excellent prices. Wish Ratchet trilogy was on special over here but its a whopping $50 for us.

1 and 3 were just far too easy for my tastes, I much prefer 2. Then again I can be a masochist when it comes to games.



The platforming sections of Jak 2 are the best parts and the witty Daxter is always fun. I'm about 7 hours in now, and I honestly can't recommend this game to anyone but the diehard fans. They really went 10 steps back with this one.



I WANT TO PLAY IT NAOW :( why dont the mailman & co work 24/7 even on weekends?
