 How hard do you have to make a game? January 1, 2009
This is one hard game! Jesus, and with no real cheat codes around to help. Most levels, you have to replay it so many times to beat the level. That is if you could.
Tell you the truth, it is so frustrating playing this game!
 Best Jak Game In The Series! December 26, 2008
I'm a HUGE fan of the J&D series and I have to say when I bought this game I was very happy. The story is Keira, Samos, Daxter, and Jak want to find out how the precurssor ring they found works. Jak pushes a button and is flung into the future. After two years of dark eco injections and torture, Jak's furry buddy, Daxter, busts into the prison and frees Jak. Daxter then finds that Jak can now speak and has a new alter ego... graphically the game is beautiful. Character models move smoothly, and the locations look stunning at certain points, the HUB, haven city, also has a day and night cycle. Gameplay is similar to that of the grand theft auto series. you run around, shoot things, steal cars(in this case hovercrafts), and you play missions to advance the story. Platforming is essentially striped from the game except for a few levels. unlike the first game this one is much darker and isn't for six year-olds. The difficulty has ramped much higher so don't expect this game to be a cake walk. Many things have been added like guns, riding in cars, mission based gameplay, swearing, and many other things. Overall if you are 11 and up and liked Jak And Daxter then pick this up, if not pick up Ratchet And Clank. Score: 10/10
Favorite game in the Jak and Daxter series! November 13, 2008
I'll admit that when I saw the cover of Jak 2 for the first time I was a bit confused at why Jak had a gun. In fact, it upset me, especially when I was in a futuristic world in a city. The thing is though, that first time of playing Jak 2, while I had my doubts, I didn't stop playing and knock it off as a bad sequel like so many others do. I was introduced to missions and I absolutely loved that. I love missions in a game and so by the time I got done with pretty much one of the first missions, which is getting the flag to get into the Underground, I loved it!
Jak 2 continues on from the first one, delving into a much deeper plot, involving new characters that are easily attachable (like Torn). I grew in love with the characters and the city of Haven. I just really loved the whole idea of having a sort of..primitive people in a futuristic city with technology that most of the citizens didn't understand. And, me being a lover of constant communication with other characters in the game, I instantly fell in love with it. Citizens walk everywhere in Haven and you do have the choice to punch them (or kill them) and steal their vehicles (kind of reminded me of GTA but it's not GTA so get over it people). The plot is original and though it may be confusing by the end, if you keep playing it over and over, in sequence with the first game, it makes sense. I love games like that, where the plot is so deep that it leaves you confused. Racing was introduced into this, which I think Naughty Dog loved more than its players, but it added to the game. Jak loves racing and that goes along with his personality. I, personally, do not think that there are too many races in the game. You have 3 main races in the Stadium and then a few races in the city. That's all. The rest of the game, more than half of the game, is missions. Dark Jak is also an upside. It makes Jak more unique and allows him to past some obstacles. Jak adds to the comedy. In fact, if it weren't for Daxter and his personality, then the game would be too serious in itself and while the game does have a serious tone to its plot and characters, it also has a comical side. Daxter brings out everyone's true personality, especially with Jak and Torn. Jak proves that in spite of the situations at hand, he can laugh or smile at Daxter, showing that he does have a sense of humor too. Torn just gets pissed if Daxter even talks. It shows that Torn is or acts all tough and is easily annoyed by things like Daxter. Tess adores Daxter and quite frankly..Tess scares me. She can go from bitchy to weird to sweet in seconds. I love all of the characters, even the Baron. They are just so well developed and the voice acting is great! I couldn't have picked anyone better for Jak's voice. See in the beginning I was a bit upset that Jak talked but he grew on me after a while. Even after you beat the game there is still much you can do afterward. Spread throughout the city are devices that you can talk to Torn on. He gives you challenges such as racing and hunting orbs, which have become rare since the first game. Even then, if you're bored, you can visit many places that you've already been to, search for orbs, or mess with people. One time I tried to see how many citizens I could punch into the water (in the slums). I got a bunch of people in there, all of them just swimming.
Overall, I love this game! I have beaten it more times than I can count and it is my favorite in the series, being right in the middle. I love Haven City and everything about it. I still become frustrated on missions, having to do them over and over sometimes, but it's good that the challenge is there. Love it, one of my favorite games.
Awesome November 9, 2008
This game is awesome. It is super fun and the setting is really cool. Great Game.
Pretty good game. October 27, 2008
It's a fun game to play. Has some good challenges in it. I haven't beaten it yet. I originally got it for my sons who are 8 and 10, but it has a few cuss words in it. Not horrible, but enough to make my sons snicker at it. I let my oldest son play, but it's a little violent for my youngest. So, I think it's a perfect shoot 'em up game for older children, no blood which is a plus.
