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 ;-)
