There's nothing like the original. January 22, 2007

Jak and Daxter, back when Jak couldn't talk (a big reason why this game is rated E) and weapons, jetboards, and vehicles didn't exist.
Jak and Daxter shares almost no similarites with any of the other Jak games other than the main characters (although many more were added in Jak 2). Even though there are no weapons, jetboards, dark eco, or secrets (I guess in the 21st century violence is more important than gameplay), I still play Jak and Daxter all the time. The levels and missions are fun (you must go around the world searching for power cells in the quest to bring Daxter back to his natural form) and it never gets boring.
Although there are no missions, instead you have to do certain things to acquire power cells (findinc scout flies, opening eco vents, defeating plants). The levels range from the boggy swamp to the spider caves to the lost precursor temple. Each place is unique and has its own fun little areas to explore.
Even though I own all of the Jak games currently in existence, there's nothing like the classic Jak and Daxter.
 Not as much fun as Sly January 11, 2007

I bought this for my son because he mastered the Sly series. Jak & Daxter was not too violent, which I appreciated, but my son did not like it nearly as much as Sly.
One of the best games in a game collection July 14, 2006

Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy was the next project for a
famous game company called "Naughty Dog", they made many other
games that were educational though, unpopular and unknown. This
company then made the world famous Crash Bandicoot series for a
few years for the Playstation. After a few years, they decided
that now of this upcoming Playstation 2, they had to take one d-
ramatic step and give the rights to Vivendi and other game comp-
any which have made Crash into a righteous game empire into a
crumbled and molded empire.
When the PS2 was released between 2000 or 2001, they made a ser-
ies that I have loved for three years now, Jak II, being my fir-
st game, I wasn't a pro and a year later, I saw some bad reviews
on the Precursor Legacy that didn't need none.
This game is a classic, with voices unknown to us and wonderous
magic at every peak and crater, Jak and Daxter: The Precursor is
probably one of my most favourite games of all time.
Pros:
-Dreamy graphics and wonderful animation
-Inconceivable voice acting
-Great Samos Hagai the Green Sage of Green Eco and Daxter fight
-Splendid sound
-Great realistic looking mountains and caverns and jungles
-Beautiful powers
-Great character drawings
Cons:
-A Short Quest, whereas, quests should be long with a few misad-
ventures, this is a short game that can respect new gamers,
-Limited fun. You only fish once, it needed to be more repeatful
and although herd animals twice and well, you get the picture
As you may know, this is E for Everyone which really 6 and up,
but the creatures that pop up at unsuspecting prey may scare yo-
ung ones, it scared my five (now six) year old nephew and he p-
reffered me stay in the village and do nothing. When my niece w-
atched it, (nine years old), treasured each moment and watched
me until after we learned the plot in the Volcanic Crater.
What was odd though was that my nephew thought Jak II and 3 l-
ooked less scarier than this one but they were really a bit so
with Metal Head but anyway, let me get on to the great collecti-
on I'd go get for you newbies to PS2, starting with the most ex-
pensive,
Sly 3: Honour Among Thieves, 39.99$
Ratchet: Deadlocked Same Price
Jak X: Combat Racing Same Price
Destroy All Humans 19.99$
Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy Same Price or below
Jak II Same Price
Jak 3 Same Price
Ratchet and Clank Same Price or below
Ratchet and Clank 2: Going Commando Same Price
Ratchet and Clank 3: Up your Arsenal Same Price
Dogs Life Same Price or below
Escape from Monkey Island Same Price or below
Sly 2: Band of Thieves Same Price
Sly Cooper and the Thievous Raccoonus Same Price or below
Now, I heard that games like God of War and GTA were hard so I'd
try conquering one of the hard games in here like Jak II, or RAC
2, and Jak 3 could be a bit hard.
Now for the most difficult.
Jak II Hard, 9-10
Ratchet and Clank 2 Hard, 8-10
Jak 3 Medium/Hard, 9-10
Ratchet and Clank 3 Medium, 9-10
Sly 3 Easy/Medium, 10-10
Ratchet and Clank Easy/Medium, 8-10
Jak X: Combat Racing Easy, 9-10
Destroy All Humans Easy, 8-10
Sly 2 Easy, 10-10
Sly Cooper Pretty Easy, 9-10
Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy Pretty Easy, 9-10
Escape from Monkey Island Easy and Variable, 8-10
Ratchet Deadlocked Easy and Variable, 9-10
Dog's Life Easy and Variable, 9-10
Now, newbie to the PS2, go and buy you those games, be sure to
look everyplace that sells games!
I hope my review was helpful!
Great start to a franchise April 10, 2006
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
From the creators of crash bandicoot comes Jak and daxter. The games overall feeling is a good one. With a very well designed environment it sucks you right in.
Jak, your quiet hero, player, and protagonist and his buddy daxter are quite the duo. When daxter falls into dark eco he is turned into a ottsel.
And from that point jak sets out to find the one person who can possibly turn his friend back into a human. Which basically covers the plot.
With many traps and puzzles this game requires thinking and strategy as well as fighting technique, which balances out very well.
Overall this game is entertaining for a while but will get old. Nevertheless, it is a great start to a great franchise. However The fact Jak doesnt talk can get annoying sometimes. But it is fixed in later games of course.
Great buy.
