Summary

Huge, and hugely fun

The Good

Jak & Daxter has it all - there are easy bits, too easy bits, hard bits and "whoops!". The entire world is lovingly created and essentially every part of it flows together into one large ribbon - from Samos's hut at the start to Gol & Maia's Precursor Robot at the end. Daxter is amazingly lovable and a great deal more sarcastic than everyone in the whole world ("Don't step into the light Jak! DON'T STEP INTO THE LIGHT!"). The day/night cycling is gorgeous, the puzzles are just about right and there's simply tons of subgames to get involved in.

The Bad

Not much. Sometimes Precursor Orbs are ridiculously hidden, or far too easy to come by. The occasional must-make-an-inch-perfect-jump-or-else moment which belies the otherwise mostly natural environment.

The Bottom Line

Possibly the greatest platform-type game ever made.
