Man looks like I need to go buy the collection on vita to see what the fuss is about. Plus I've wanted to play them for a while anyways. Don't know why I never played them on PS2.



Well cant agree more. I like rthe Story and the Charakters but the rest is very bad maked. Bad controls, to hard, unfair most of the time and more flaws. Definitely Naughty Dogs worst game..

Jak 2 is by far, in my opinion, the best Jak game ever made.

A friend of my father first showed me Jak & Daxter when it was on the PS2, and I didn't really "enjoy" it, but it was a decent game for me at that time, a few months or years later he told me that he had Jak 2, and I didn't even finished Jak & Daxter, so I went to his place with very low expectatives, and when I played it, I have to say that, to date, it is one of the best games I have ever played, even better than any game of my beloved Ratchet & Clank franchise, and Jak 3 was a good one as well.

So it comes to which genre you like, Jak & Daxter is a decently-done platformer (not as good as Crash Bandicoot or Sly Cooper though) and Jak 2 and 3 are more like an open world weapon-based combat game (not as refined as Ratchet & Clank's combat play), but they all are great games in my opinion.

I can't say the same about The Lost Frontier.

are they bringing out The ratchet & Clank HD collection on Vita? i guess you would know lol

Unfortunely there is no clue they will release it soon, but I hope they do, along with the Sly Collection, I already have them but i'd like to play the games on my VITA.

 

And I still don't understand why people complains about Jak 2, it is the best game on the franchise imo. :(



Jak 2 was pretty damn awful, but Jak 3 was an improvement.

I liked the original the best though.

Oh thank god I thought I was the only one that hated it... I really loved the first game and I even got the platinum. I went to the second game thinking I would have the same enjoyable experience but all I got was a boring game . I did about 2 missions and left the game... I'm not even sure if i can beat it... Each time I put it I feel like sleeping rather than playing it. I feel like they have lost direction with the sequel and it really ruined the franchise for me... I hope 3 is better...


More lies

 

You know DAMN WELL that there is a big number of people who didn't like Jak 2

 

Lol



geez its not THAT bad! Not the best but not as bad as the OP and title suggest in my opinion. there is far far far worse,



 

I loved Jak & Daxter: The Precursor Legacy to bits. It's a stunning game. Like someone else on the thread said, it's a beautiful, poetic and explorative platformer that is just fun.

However, Jak 2 is a boring, annoying and clunky mess in the gameplay department. This series did NOT need guns and vehicles, but the allure of the GTA sales were too much. I did like the plot though. And I still finished it out of stubbornness, but I was disappointed beyond belief and hoped that Naughty Dog would go back to the series roots with number 3.

It did't happen though. Jak 3 still had guns and vehicles, but it was a lot more tolerable. Took me a long time to finish it, but I eventually did. Tolerable, but still not as simply fun as the first one.

Unfortunately, and to be perfectly honest, the first game is the one I truly miss. I would love for a Jak & Daxter 4 game to happen, but only if it was along the lines of the first, else they needn't bother. Ratchet & Daxter already fills the platformer with guns void and with a movie coming out to cinemas in 2015, Insomniac is rather likely working on a new one for PS4.

Did you really buy it because of this thread? XD

You'll enjoy the first one for sure.
