Hella Late: Jak and Daxter is fun

I used the 2 for $25 Best Buy deal to get Jak and Daxter 1 and Ratchet and Clank 2, so far I'm 83% done with J&D1. I'm liking everything about this game, EXCEPT the damn camera! Who came up with the bright idea of having the camera not being able to move when something is blocking it?! I think 90% of my deaths have been when I try to move the camera while in the middle of a platforming section and I end up watching another Daxter death cutscene. Anyway, everything else is ace.

This game gets 4 1/2 out of 5 Jordans!

Edit: Did Naughty Dog fix the camera for Jak 2 and 3? Please say yes... :|

But Jak II- stay the fuck away from it.

I swear. You were raped by Daxter, weren't you? :lol

Your hate knows no bounds and you pop up in every Jak thread I've ever seen.
 
The camera is better, but believe me when I tell you that Jak 2 is simply GTA3 in a fantasy world. It changed a LOT and some would say NOT for the better, although I still enjoyed it.

I love Jak and Daxter, I just think what they did to the series in the second installment was terrible. He asked about the camera in Jak II, so I gave him a blanket statement.

Jak II is so very little like Jak and Daxter. There's some damn good platforming moments in Jak II, but they're placed too far apart.
 
Jak and Daxter is the only fun game in the Jak series. What a great game, though. It reminded me a lot of a next-gen Banjo-Kazooie (not Tooie).

I agree that Jak & Daxter was a fun game. But did you finally play Jak III to give your Final Judgment on the series?

No, that's why I try not to comment on Jak 3 or bunch the second two together.
 
Good game...better than R&C 1 which was pretty repetitive but well...both are pretty far from the awesome Sly Racoon !
 
J & D 1 was awesome. Really fun game.

Jak 2 was fuckin terrible tho.

Whats the deal with 3? Is it like the first one (platforming) or the second (lame 'gta clone').

Its more like the second one with lame fetch quests into a huge and barren desert.
 
Jak and Daxter is the only game I haven't played from "the big 3" on the PS2. The other two being Sly Cooper (AWESOME AWESOME) and Ratchet and Clank (AWESOME AWESOME).
