A 3D platformer on a Sony machine?? nah that’s gotta be a typo. Nope Jak and Daxter is the first game to appear on the PS2 from Naughty Dog and it’s fantastic. The environments are gorgeous filed with the attention to detail that developers never bother with these days- Butterflies, Waterfalls, ripples, stars and it’s lovely. You can jump, crawl, roll, swim and basically go anywhere you please, Also various vehicles around the place will help you out for long distance. The beauty of this game is it all flows in real time, no loading times, no need to save/load your game from the menu and it works brilliantly. The PS2 can move data around at lightning speed- faster than both gamecube and xbox which makes this thing easily possible, lets hope others follow in it’s footsteps *cough* red faction.
PSW described this game as “pure and simple fun” and Naughty Dog have gone far out of their way to make sure this game entertains throughout, All the irritating bits from your usual platformer have been taken out making this one enjoyable, laid back, fulfilling title with no interruptions. It still lacks a certain spark that the PS2 should have delivered but Naughty Dog have done everything they can to this game and it’s a classic. Daxter is a funny little critter but I expected a little more on the comedy end, I mean Crash made me laugh without saying a word with his funny facial expressions, especially when legging it from the boulders, hehe. Seriously though it’s nice to see a game like this on the PS2 and it really is superb, better take notes Nintendo ;-)

You really don't want me to list all the games that have 60hz and full screen, but I can think of at least 5 that I own.

PLayed it for about half an hour this morning. I dont think the cut-scene movies flow as well as Nintendo platformers.
In MY OPINION conkers bad fur day is much much better.
This game was supposed to be funny, i havnt laughed once. Conker had me laughing all the way through.

I would have finished it but when you fight that dude on the mountain I didn't see the path behind him and went back, I spend hours trying to find where to go and collected all the power cells, found it in the end though ;-)
Turns out you need all 100 power cells anyway :-)

81%, you'll be finishing it pretty soon then. I havent played on it since this afternoon. I have THPS3, DMC and Shenmue 2 to play aswell, so J&D wont get completed too quickly.
I had the same problem, The stone stuck in the mud which is behind the fence is released when you hit the last baulder - Just keep looking and you'll find it ;-)
I'm on 81% :-)

I am on about 36% but I seem to be stuck on the Baggy Swamp level. You have to shoot down 4 boulders I think but I can only find 3. The bit where you get ambushed has a gate and I can see the boulder behind the gate which unfortunately I cannot open.....Any chance of helping me out?
Its an amazing game. I didnt play it much yesterday, just the training level and getting the eco harvesters up and running. Iam on about 15% which is good as I dont want to complete it too soon.
I also have played some of the Nintendo platformers like Mario 64 and Banjo Kazooie, and must say that this is in the same rank as them. The graphics are amazing and no loading times make this a truley awesome game. This is going to be a platformer that Nintendo need to better to still be king of the platformers.

I'm on 84&, the last area is so so tricky, I prefer this to Mario and Banjo games - and that is from a (previous) Ninty diehard.
I can remeber paying £310 for an N64 and Mario on it's UK release day !
Roll on the sequel, I've only another 244 orbs to collect, 15 powercells and 5 scout fly's.
Has anyone collected all the orb's etc?
Roll on the sequel.....
