Without a doubt this is one of the best platformers out on the PS2.

The first game in the series "Jak and Daxter" was a very underrated game, with a strong storyline, great platforming and stunning graphics it was a terrific game. Jak II took a very different approach, it had a very GTA feel to it with the free roaming missions, vehicles and weapons and a lot of people feared Naughty Dog may have ruined the franchaise. But Naughty Dog didn't let us down and made arguably the best game in the series.
With plenty of the old characters and plenty of platforming to keep the fans of the original satisfied.

Good points

  • Brilliant graphics
  • Great gameplay
  • Humerous cutscenes (Daxter is at hand to provide funny smart arse comments)
  • Good storyline

Bad points

None come to mind

Overall this is a fantastic game and I reccomend anyone intrsted should get it.
