Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy Review

[SlipperyMooseCakes]

This dude sounds exactly like Shane Satterfield from GameTrailers.

[unprofessionalvids]

after watching this i don't wanna buy the Jak collection anymore

[gwet17]

@unprofessionalvids Get it.

[Trevman55]

I remember this from my ps2 days. Best game ever made. I have a 360, and have been contemplating getting a PS3 for a while. Now that a Jak HD collection is coming out, its final, I'm getting a PS3 :)

[lthomp28]

this guy sucks

[megamanX1100]

Which game is the best out of the 3??? 

[Pikintool]

@megamanX1100 All of them.

[Gonzales9514]

@megamanX1100 probably this one in my opinion.

[RadiatingToller]

@megamanX1100 i like the sequels better, they have SOOOOOO much more depth

[devinx10]

probly one of the best games i have ever played...well the whole series from 1 to 3 was amazing...the story was confuseing at first but its good...but after the 3rd one the games died mainly cause they werent made by naughty dog..naughty dog should make a 4th one

[PokemasterLiamo]

this games my favourite out of the three

[TheDynastyWarrior13]

thumbs up if you think this game is the best game of all time. Its so much better than CoD

[no1cares67]

Since Call of Duty 4 came out there hasn't been any good 3d platform/adventure games :( i had Mario Galexy for wii but its just so overrated and it gives me motion sickness and on top of that the wii controls suck :'( the only good platformer thats left is the Ratchet and Clank series.

[kcdude500]

@no1cares67 Well I hope you have a Ps3, because Naughty Dog is releasing the Jak and Daxter HD Collection sometime in 2012.

[no1cares67]

@kcdude500 I heard about the HD collection. And I do have a ps3 :D

[agentfire102]

@no1cares67 even at that i prefer the originals over the ps3 ones but the series has taken a dive with the new one so the series is more or less dead

[no1cares67]

@agentfire102 I see what you mean. I like the new ones just not as much.havent played All4One but it looks so crappy. the ps2 games are better and after all4one the series is probably is dead. maybe even the genre. at least we still have some good RPGs like Fallout and Skyrim. Im so tired of FPS CoD rip-offs :'(

[agentfire102]

@no1cares67 amen my friend

[DarkSkull1986]

@no1cares67 What about Sly Cooper?

[DarkSkull1986]

@no1cares67 What about Sly Cooper?

[no1cares67]

@DarkSkull1986 Sly Cooper is good too, I just never got into it as much as Ratchet and Jak. No doubt I'm exited about Sly 4 though. :)

[LinkOfZoras]

@Unduore NO!He is actually what was missing from the series!Look,I like the first game really much!But my ratings are:

1.Jak II

2.Jak and Daxter the Precursor Legacy

3.Jak 3

4.Daxter

5.Jak X

6.Jak and Daxter the Lost Frontier

And I was as almost everyone a little dissapointed with the last game but...what to do... :(

[danielparthenis]

aah sweet memories . i rented this game from a video store when it first came out , eventually got it for christmass and since then ive been hooked to all of the jak games untill the dreaded jak and daxter the lost frontier came out :/

[Mattboy300]

Jak and Daxter is one of few games to have the entire map at once. That means it is possible to get to any point in the game from anywhere. This was my first PS2 game and I still play it today. Go Jak and Daxter!! Woot!! (:

[Reddeadrockstar11]

this was my first proper video game

[Comixspirit1]

This has got to be my favorite Jak and Daxter game :P

[Jiyaijo]

The bee sound in this review is annoying.

[DisasterPiece0302]

He's a fucking idiot. YOu can double jump while you're getting the precursor orb on the barrel chute from misty island.

[ShadowPhazonv2]

I love the Jak and Daxter series so much. I wish Naughty Dog would have continued it on the PS3. That was one of the reasons why I wanted a PS3 so bad because Sony promised a Jak 4. We never got that. Why can't Naughty Dog develop an entry on the side while making the Uncharted games? Both are excellent franchises and Jak especially needs more attention.

[TheBlueGoldenHawk]

@ShadowPhazonv2 Naughty Dog is a relatively small team, they can't really make 2 games at once, they gotta focus on 1

[SSUGAMER90]

favorite platformer of all time. imo.

[dudemandude3]

This is my favorite game ever. :)

[ashilohman]

I loved all the jak games... but 3 had to be my fave mainly cause(spoilers) you have a huge desert to drive cars that can shoot, more dark jak powers, flying and time freezing with light jack, more guns and way more fun precurser orb cheats

only thing I kinda disliked is like half of haven city is gone and the hoverboard track in stadium is gone :/

[misterkingofcool]

best game on ps2 such a classic my childhood favorite fo sho

[NetherDrakeye]

imo the best ps2 game of all time

[rpggame16]

This is my favorite Jak game! 

[AceKarterReloaded]

cut the criticism its a game made in 2001 and people still play it! ill never forget how good the levels and the storyline was when i first played it

[bakinslato]

precursor orbs are in now way pink. just throwin it out there.

[bakinslato]

@bakinslato *no

[depression4ever]

this is my favourite jak game

[NikkiRose]

Whoever is playing SUCKS at that game

[H0wlinPelleAlmqvist]

@novicegaming101 It was a response to xbox fanboys, Halo release of rated M

[phcusfboy]

i love senery in this game its just GREAT!!!!

[KrownKrash]

wow this game is going to stay a classic on my list like mario. I want to have this game when im like 30 and say wow, they don't make these anymore and i still got a copy. My fave game on the ps2 other than gta sa ofcoarse lol still pretty good review other guys are just bashers point out all bad and barley good 

[Ryuzaki40]

[H0wlinPelleAlmqvist]

[SpyroTheDragon96]

@H0wlinPelleAlmqvist

[B1tchN1gg3r]

lmao @ at "this is better than halo" good one guys, really had me going there xD

[Ibeenez]

This and the whole Jak series were some of the best games of all time.

[tontsa911]

Can't make this work with ESR :( Guess i'll have to buy it. I get it cheap and im a Uncharted fan anyways.

[NerdyTurd307]

lol he keeps on blicking all the time

[aidange2]

when in the game can't you double jump?

[robinett11]

it's not really a butt stomp more of a headbash

[nntrebing]

this my first game ever

[robinett11]

@nntrebing me too

[FOB508]

One of the first games i have ever played about when i was 5. I know every part and pixel of this game. Its a classic on my list.

[proasa123]

the ferst ps2 game i played evry day i snuk into my brfers room when he whent to school I maneged to complete it in 2 hours

[carddealer758]

damn i shouldn't have traded this in...

[agent136]

im still playing this ever since i got it a while back i wish i never sold my ps2 and all my games

ahh well least i got a ps2 slim for christmas and jak 1 and 3 :D

[TheDarkbomb]

First PS2 game I ever played way back 2001

[hasnoku]

@TheDarkbomb Same for me, and one of the best I got for my PS2 as well hehe

[stillprince]

I played this game when I was around 10 or 11-ish. They need to make more games like this type~ ^^ It's so much fun

[oxe161]

many games tried to cash in the mario 64 collecting to progress gimmick.

Some were succesful like, Jak, Banjo, and Ty the tasmaniean tiger

others just sucked like those shitty nickelodeo games in 03. They all involved collecting...and they sucked!

[snowdenYT]

quality game

[BeakyRed]

this was the first ps2 game i ever played. way back in 04

[aboredskater]

i cant wait for daxter 2 and jak 4

[egypten3]

if they ever come out :/

[redsox1006]

how many times did he say "3D platforming game"???

[1745holly]

this is 1 of the best games ive ever played

[xcommentarys]

same here... easily in my top 10

[SwedishGamer96]

same whit me its in the top 10 and it really reminds me of supermario 64 so i had a big nostalgia feeling whele playing this game lovde it =)

[spideyfan300]

ya but mario 64 had LEVELS and they also got EXTREMELY boring after playing it for 5 minutes. Jak and Daxter was ALOT better than mario 64. but jak 2 and 3.......idk maybe they are better too........

[awesomejunk7]

daxter is shunned in the newer games he did get his own game but it was rather short but fun

[Rouelrules]

this game WOULD be good for the whole story, but sadly, jak 2 and 3 say the same things this does(exepct for daxter being an ottsel)

[GamMan93]

I want this game.

[Schoolz1995]

I have this game I'll be walkthoughing it

[SilentKill786]

Daxter isnt a muskrat... hes an Ottsel

[passiveMenis]

Nobody really cares. You're the same kind of person who would correct someone for calling the wumpa fruits "apples". It's a made up term, so calling it the made up term seems stupid.

[GamingJack9]

@SilentKill786

His species didn't have a name until the first game.

At the time, he was just referred as a orange muskrat or weasel.

[awesome9001]

@SilentKill786 no. he's a precursor

[HeliumCowFilms]

Oh wow it's Shane from GT, back from the days he worked at Gamespot!

[REZAandfriends]

i only liked this game because of the huge world

jak 2 was better because the missions were more fun

and better story line

[YoubixCube]

I preferred Jak II over the first, but mainly because of the ability to steal cars and become Dark Jak.

[awesome9001]

@YoubixCube jak 2 was the best.

[RatchetClankFan1996]

a muskrat? what the hell, i thought daxter was an ottsel?

[Michaelas11]

Most stereotypical loser I ever saw.

[electrodefuse]

Stop double jump ability? I don't know what he's talking about. I did the log chute mission, and I could double jump fine

[Darksupersonic768]

WAIT THE FUCK Daxter is a fucking human

[hineskamau08]

I cannot believe that sony really chose this game over halo 2,do you know that halo 2 was first coming to the ps2 then sony cancel it and work and this game,then microsoft buy halo from the company that was offering sony the deal.

[kcdude500]

Jak and Daxter was made before the first Halo game.

[hineskamau08]

I know bungie was offering sony halo 2 then sony didnt buy it becuase they was going to work on jak and daxter,then microsoft buy it from bungie,then sony started to work on jak on daxter but halo was release before it.

[itachicosplayer4]

@kcdude500 actually jak and daxter came out a month after the first halo

[WeightGainingII]

well, i like this game better still...

[denvarap]

they didnt cancel it bungie said it wouldnt work for ps2

[kcdude500]

BUNGIE IS NOT FOR SONY!

[christian0314]

o wow your a dumbass

[NerdyTurd307]

@hineskamau08 wa... wa? are you serious?!

[CradleShocks]

@hineskamau08

uhhh, no it wasn't, lmfao

[MrEvans425]

@hineskamau08 well in that case all the xbox fanboys owe sony and should stop talking shit about them!

[crk416]

@hineskamau08 and even if that was true this game was infinitly better than halo. 

[ZebraReviews]

@hineskamau08 This is like a million times better than no damn halo game.

[electrodefuse]

Haven't you seen the intro! lol.

[Qaxed]

Cool

[TYLERREDICKHUGEFAN]

YAY Jak And Daxter Hooray!

[doodlemasterz]

Nice review.
