These games are pretty awesome but I'm really impressed by Jak 2 and the huge leap in graphics, gameplay, and story. I have barely started it and I can't wait to get farther in it. In HD the game looks great. Cartoonish styled games like this don't age as poorly as games that try to look real. Oh and on another note these games are VERY much like Crash Bandicoot. The music is almost the same as well. I mean obviously, it's made by the same developers, but I didn't realize there would be so many similarities. Edited by Neo Metallix, Feb 23 2012, 10:27 PM.

I... really didn't like Jak and Daxter after the first game. The entire game premise pulled a 180, the plot made buggerall sense (or maybe I had to play the rest of the games after 2 to understand how it was all supposed to come together), and really, I didn't like the fact that Jak started TALKING at some point. Don't get me wrong, yeah, the first game was great and I really enjoyed it as a good-old-fashioned platformer without all the gimmicks and stuff that most platformer games are desperately trying to pull out of their asses. But I feel quite vehemently that the time skip ruined everything the series had going for it. $=\$ As time skips so often do... Edited by Tora Unlimited Crusader, Feb 23 2012, 11:34 PM.

Hell yeah, I coulda told you that! The whole series is very entertaining to play. I loved it, still do. I do agree with TUC, time skips (i call them time jumps) do usually get on my nerves. However, Im gonna make a wild estimate and say that I was about... 7... When I played the first Jak & Daxter. It was one of my very first games, back when I was still learning how to use a controller. Point is, I was so young when I played it that I didnt care about any time skips or plot holes; I was just happy that there was another one to play. Well, I remember playing another Jak & Daxter when I was like 9 or 10 but dont get me to lying... I have NO idea which one it was. It was for PS2 thats all I remember. Anyways, love the series, brings back memories of my childhood. 10 short years ago xD

What always seemed to drag me back was the hilarious comments between the characters. They always made me laugh and I always had a lot of fun playing the racing mini-games. Those were always fun to do and made you really work for your first place at times.

I'm not dead....just forgotten. Posts: 258 Group: B Rank Guardian Member #10,326 Joined: September 5, 2009	In a way yeah it does somewhat resemble Crash Bandicoot. The series itself resembles a few other games as well: Jak & Daxter 1 reminds me of Super Mario 64 and other Mario games like that as well as Ty 1, then the 2nd and 3rd games remind me of Ty 2 and 3. However they're still fun regardless for me. I've beaten 1 and 2 of Jak and Daxter, but too lazy to find all the orbs in Jak 2, that's all that's stoppin' me from 100%ing that game and Jak 3.

I don't know, I can't comment too much on Jak II since I haven't played but a few missions but it seems pretty much like a traditional platformer so far. The missions involve platforming and it adds a new twist to where it has a free roaming open world while not doing missions. It's not unlike other platformer games like the adventure fields in Sonic Adventure 1 and Sonic 2006.

My favorite non-Mario platformer. But maybe not like TUC, but I didn't like the other two nowhere near as much as the first, though still good.
