Please no. Naughty Dog have been much better since they ditched platformers.

All a matter of opinion.

All I'm saying is that II is a terrible, terrible game. 1 is a good open world Crash 4, but I 100%ed it blind in less than a day. 3 is mostly what II should've been except executed better. I can go for an hour about why II is garbage though. I won't, because, well, that's a topic for another thread, and because I'm sure I'd miss a few points since I haven't played it in a couple years, but II is a bad game. 

I'm not exactly sure what part of Jak II is a bad game.  I enjoyed it, and for some people it's their favorite Jak game.  

Broken hitboxes, a bad and nonsensical story that's also somehow predictable, a lack of checkpoints, missions designed around poor mechanics, a linear overworld with only one path from A to B, 8 hit points despite every enemy but one doing two hit points of damage, horrible handling on cars within the linear paths leading to unnecessary crashes, auto-aim on weapons, Jak's character development, the escort mission that I believe is in Act 2, the pointlessness of the overworld to do anything but waste the player's time, et alia res. 

 

There are others I'm forgetting and I'll even skip by the most fanfiction line I've ever heard in a video game, but yeah. No it's not a good game, it's a rose-goggled mess. 

 

Edit: I forgot the big one, no invincibility frames when getting hit, leading to you losing half your health within a second because of poor design. Fun!
