"Jak & Daxter - SOME OF YOU HAVE IT!"

Yep, that's right - I know some of you have it! Maybe It's just me, but conversation about this beauty of a game seem to be a little scarce around these 'ere parts, don't you think?

I chose this game as my GAD not long ago and it arrived Tuesday mornin', me thinks. I had played the demo before hand, which is why it was I chose it - platforming adventure games like this are my cup o' tea, you see - and Jak & Daxter doesn't fall short in the slightest.
Anyway, as I said, it arrived Tuesday morning and naturally, I played it to the death as soon as I laid my grubby mits on it. Playing it to the death is exactly what I shouldn't of done, I think, mainly because by that night I had managed to work my way through 70% of the game. Yes -70% in one day! Although, playing it to the death means: around 12 hours worth...NON STOP. No tea, lunch - anything. :D

So, there I was that night, in bed wondering when I'd complete it when I began to get a bit irritated by something. I was beginning to get irritated by the fact that I may have rushed through it and played it too much to get the most out of it. I was asking myself whether I should of saved it a little, just to appreciate it that little bit more.
Anywho, real reason as to why I have written this post is about to be explained. Of all you lot on this wonderful site who have purchased Jak & Daxter - how far are you? Did you find it too easy, like me? Or are you enjoying it thoroughly? Just tell me, maybe you'll be able to help me.
Now, although I may be 99% into the game at this very moment after having it for just three days, it doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it - oh no, I thought it was wonderful...just, it went too quick. It's a shame, because if it was that little bit longer, then it'd be up to Zelda's standards.

Anyway, the other reason I wanted to post this message is for help. Now that I have EVERY SINGLE POWER CELL in the game, all I need to get (to see what exactly is behind the huge Precursor Door in the final cutscene before the credits) is EVERY SINGLE TINY PRECURSOR ORB. You see, even on 99% you can't see the hidden thing yet - all the cutscene shows you is Jak, Daxter, Keira and Samos staring into a mass of glowing white light and saying things like: "What is that?!" and then the credits come up! Aargh. And so I have begun my quest to adventure back into all the previous lands to recover every single Precursor Orb hidden there. I have about 25 left until, I predict, I can see what the characters are staring at...

But the thing I need help on is The Forbidden Forest - WHERE ARE THE LAST 5 PRECURSOR ORBS, EH? Any of you that have actually discovered every single one - could you tell me where the most hidden ones were? PLEASE?

Cheers, SHOCKY

I am personally going to take my time with that game, I dont want to rush into a game that could be easily finished in a few hours just like many people on here stated. If I play just a couple of hours a night the game may last me for a long time and I will be able to get the most out of the experience

Brilliantly long, eh?

Meh - maybe I'm just too good a gamer to find this game hard :D Maybe it's the experience of playing all those superb Nintendo platformers that helped me along the way?

Or maybe because I'm sad enough to play it so much...:-S

:D

SHOCKY

Thanks Wookie - Now I have no incentive to play it again...ever...:-)

I'll still play it just to find out, though.

And yes, Strafex - isn't it just IRONIC that all these Sonyphiles (what are they called?) were saying how us Ninties were sad that we played babyish cartoony games - and now they go and say a game which almost perfectly fits that description is the best game they have ever played! Heh, who was right, Strafex, eh? WHO?

:D

SHOCKY

I've not collected all of the Orbs, but I'm not sure it would make any difference.

I've a feeling that the end of the game is deliberately like that in order to leave it open for the 2nd game, which is already in development.

If you don't have enough Power Cells when you finish the last level, you are given the opportunity to go back and collect more; not sure if you can do this after the door is opened to get more Orbs.

I can't check at the moment because I've lent my copy to FatButcher - so if anyone knows otherwise, let us know!

In the forbidden jungle, have you gone down into the precurser tower. the one that you need to be powered up with blue eco to get in, if so, when you have killed the big plant, jump on his head a few times if you haven't done that alreay ;)

Not only do most of them have it, they're also raving about how it's one of the best games ever and how it's so brilliantly long.

So Shocky, haven't we always told them these cartoony platformers are NOT JUST for kids!

Didn't we tell 'em! Eh?

:-)

look through some of the Jak and Daxter topics to find the answer

Yeah, alright, I have the game.

Havent got it so cant comment. Ask me again after christmas. I doubt I will spend all my time on it as I will have Tony Hawks 3, DMC and Shenmue 2 aswell.

SOME OF YOU BETTER BLOODY HAVE IT!
