Always good to get more PS2 games on PS4!

Jak II and 3 are OK, but pale in comparison to Precursor Legacy. In my mind, it's the best 3D platformer after the greats from Nintendo, Rare, and Double Fine. In fact, I'd argue it's Naughty Dog's greatest title.

I see this sentiment shared often but honestly, can't really agree on this one - if you played the games as they came out, Jak 2's "GTA" like open world was pretty fresh and uncommon for the time. But more importantly, when Jak released I was a very young teen/pre-teen. Jak 2 and 3 literally matured in theme parallel to my generation and the darker appeal really caught me.

The first one is my favorite as well. I wish they would have stuck with that formula more for the other two. Jak II is my least favorite. Part 3 at least had a lot more variety and story, and didn't feel like it was just ripping off GTA III.

Pretty much same as above. My teens were spent maturing with the series.

For me Jak 2 was the best one. it built on everything atht was good abput the first one and added so much to it. 

Yes. I love all 3 games dearly, Jak 2 was the pinnacle but 1 & 3 are excellent as well.

Fair enough. We'll have to agree to disagree :)

I'd also like to give a shout-out to Daxter on PSP, which did a great job capturing the essense of the series on a smaller scale.
