Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: The PS2 is finally getting its fair share of platform games, and Jak & Daxter is a corker. Following the adventures of the yellow-barnetted Jak and his wisecracking sidekick Daxter (newly transformed into a rodent, and not happy about it), it's a free-roaming 3-D adventure very much along the lines of the N64's Banjo Kazooie--only less irritating. The gameplay, while not breaking any new ground, is perfectly polished and diverse enough to keep the interest up throughout; the main body of the game involves running, jumping, and spinning around the world collecting orbs and power cells and bashing enemies, but there are also racing, fishing and sliding bits, and all are very well done. The game world is seamless and you can move between areas and missions pretty much at will; there are no loading times whatsoever--a lesson which the latest Crash Bandicoot would have done well to learn. What's more, the irritation of having to restart levels and collect everything again if you lose all your energy is mercifully absent here. The graphics are truly scrumptious and the sound lush--and, shock horror, the script's decent and the characterisation and voice acting not half bad. It's not quite as amusing and cleverly thought out as Rare's aforementioned N64 stalwart--or their more recent Conker's Bad Fur Day--but it's pretty close. The downsides? It's maybe a bit too easy for seasoned gamers--though by no means a cinch--and the magnificent graphics have eaten up memory that might have been used to make the game longer; as trade-offs go, though, that's pretty reasonable. Bring on the sequel! --Rikki Price Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - Brilliant platformerMany moons ago, this is the very first game I ever completed 100% and it brought such a sense of a brillance it makes you return and return and return back to it when your bored and want a fun game to play. You play Jak and a village teenager set for destiny and futher things helping him is his best friend Daxter turned into a ..welll it seems a sort of talking ferret by the villianous black ooze that is littering the home world. This game was a developement from the people that brought you Crash Bandicoot - i.e Naughty Dog. The Jax games now are far more enjoyable and playable than their earlier creation. You collect orbs to unlock further power orbs from the residents of the area your currently playing in. Each level ... Read More: Rating: - pure classthis is a superbly done game which followed on to be a superb series of 3. this game is fun and its humerous. the graphics are expertly animated and its got a great story line. this is a must have with garanteed fun and value. one of the best things about it is that even when you've completed it you still can play on it every day and have fun. Rating: - Platforming nirvanaIf this game had Nintendo written on the box it would regularly feature in best games of all time lists. Sadly, the simple fact that it was a Sony game and not a beloved "Ninty" title or "Shigsy" masterpiece has denied it the classic status it so richly deserves. This is platforming paradise, distilled to absolute perfection. Where sequels spoiled the blend with darker storylines and unwieldy, sprawling GTA influences, the original got everything that makes a joyous 3D platform absolutely spot on. The lure to collect all 100 orbs not only stirs the kleptomaniac inside us all but also lures you on for the sheer joy of each challenge. It sticks to the platforming staples but does it all with such flair and imagination that you can't ... Read More: Rating: - Funny, silly and entertainingThis was a game which I bought because I had a demonstration of it on the free demo disk you get when you buy a PS2. I'm not really a fan of platform games, as I have a rather short temper and they always seem to just anger and irritate me. I saw this game really cheap in the shop, and I got an offer on the game I actually wanted if I bought Jak and Daxter with it, so I did. The general storyline, although it isn't much, is to change Daxter back into a human, as he has fallen into a substance known as `dark eco', which has changed him into an orange rodent known as an `ottsel'. First, the aim is to change Daxter back, but after a while you discover that the sage who is meant to turn him back is actually evil, and has plans to use ... Read More: Rating: - Beats Mr DoI cut my gaming teeth on Defender, Galaxians and the odd RPG MUD (most people under 40 might struggle to remember those) and my recent PS2 has been mostly playing Colin McRae 04 so I thought I'd expand my tastes and see what a "platformer" might be and try to find something that isn't a gore fest so I could take on my nephews when I next see them. Jax and Daxter is a diverse game where you spend a lot of time exploring and vast game area to figure out the puzzles and when you do they are usually require a fairly challenging amount on hand to eye coordination to solve. What kept me playing was the diversity of the areas that I was exploring and the the diversity of the puzzles that required solving. I don't remember anywhere where ... Read More: |
