Awesome start of the franchise ^ I only bought the game again because my copies of the trilogy were stolen a while back and I kept having nostalgic moments of the games, but I'm so glad I re-bought them. Since they arrived, which was 2 days before the estimate, I've replayed em like 4 times. FYI to all those who buy this, the default sticks are inverted so it takes a while to get used to.
Fun and a challenge! ^ I got this game for my son and he loves it. He had some trouble with it at certain points, but overall it's a good game for anyone looking to revive their PS2's playability.
Great Platformer - A PS2 Gem ^ Jak and Daxter is rated one of the top 25 PS2 games of all time. After playing it, I can see why. It is the original game that inspired several follow-up sequels. If you enjoy platformer games, you'll love this game.
I recommend it for players of just about all ages. The current price is just right as well, if you are still playing PS2 games like I am.
Good game for the price ^ Even though this is an old title, the graphics are very good for a PS2 game and the gameplay is solid. Don't have much to add since most other reviews state everything in detail so I would just recommend this to anyone who hasn't played it yet.
Love this game. ^ This is my second copy of game my kids keep borrowing first copy, so I ordered my own copy.
