The
Naughty Dog team, famous for their excellent Crash Bandicoot series, has been working on
Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy for over two years now and all that hard work shows.
While it is essentially an action game, Naughty Dog has worked hard to incorporate parts
of almost all of the other game genres. From platform puzzle to racing, Jak and Daxter
seems to have it all. You play as Jax, who is looking for the solution to his best friend
Daxters problem. Daxter was knocked into a vat of Dark Eco, some real nasty stuff,
which has transformed him into a ferret type creature. Now the two must set off in search
of the sage that might be able to transform Daxter back to his real self. The graphics are
breath-taking, and to make them more spectacular the world is seamless, no loading. From
one end of the world you might be able to see a mountain top, and after five hours of play
you might be on that mountain top looking back to your original position. Never before has
a world been so complete, so connected, and so full. Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy
is sure to be a game that makes you glad to own a PS2 or makes you go get one, because
this game finally makes the PS2 worth owning.
