Jak and Daxter
The Precursor Legacy
For Playstation 2
Jak and Daxter is one of the best adventure games. It's no suprise that
it's made by Naughty Dog, the makers of the first 4 Crash games. I know
I mention Crash a lot, but Crash possibly has the best line of adventure
games.
The story of Jak and Daxter is very original. There are several types of
"eco", a substance that has powers. Each type of eco, and they
are used in the game. In the beginning, Daxter falls into the dark eco,
and gets transformed into a little furry creature. He and Jak go on a quest
to return him back to normal. Just in case you were wondering, you play
as Jak, while Daxter shouts wisecracks, usually when you die. The objective
of the game is to get power cells to advance to the next stage. You get
power cells mainly by accomplishing tasks given to you by the inhabitants
of the place.
I found the gameplay quite interesting. For example, as you play, the scene
changes from day to night, and vice versa. Also, all the levels are a part
of one giant stage. In other words, you exit a level in the same place you
entered it. The graphics of the game are one of the best, and they surpass
those of Crash: The Wrath of Cortex. As for actually playing the game, I
found it a little hard to play with an analog, but aftewr getting used to
it, i started playing all games that way. The attacks have sort of a Crash
feel, which I didnt mind.
All in all, one great game. im not gonna say my usual "Go buy this
game". Wait, yes I am. As a matter of fact, I recommend getting this
game more than any I reviewed in the past. If you got some money, and want
to buy a video game, you know what to do. This game is fun, challenging,
and imaginative. I said all I can. Find out the rest for yourselves.
