""In the end, there\'s only one way to conclude this review, and that\'s by simply restating the traits that make Naughty Dog\'s Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy the best adventure/platform game to date. No other adventure title will impress you as much as J&D does. No other adventure title features an atmosphere as gorgeous, as vibrant and as exuberant as J&D does. No other adventure game comes close to achieving the same level of detail in every single technological field of Jak and Daxter. The sound is crystal clear, as it features some fascinating ambient effects, incredible music and perfect voice acting. This game is jammed with replay value, as it\'ll take nearly 20 hours to complete with everything at your hand. Even after you\'ve done that, you\'ll feel an urge to play Jak and Daxter through all over again. It\'s an addictive nature that this game possesses, as it sucks you in, almost like Super Mario Bros. 3 did. Playing Jak and Daxter, you\'d better make note of the clock, because at times the minutes seem to just melt away. I\'ve stated it numerously already, but there\'s no doubt in my mind that Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy is the best adventure/platform title across any console or any other piece of hardware.""

"Jak and Daxter\'s character detail is superb, the details are all there, and the polygon counts are surely in the thousands. The motion animations for Jak are stunning and smooth! Running at a crisp 60 frames, the motions are well executed and feature a slew of detail not seen in an adventure game before"
WOW!! This game sounds incredible!! I didn\'t pre-order this game yet but I\'m getting this game ASP as soon its out this week!!
-
Awesome.... I might have to pick this one up... I think I have too many games... I might have to start trading in some old boring ones.... Like DOA2.. I will never play that game again... or Resident Evil... I could mention more.. But I think I would offend...;)

This will be a delightful change to the games that have been out recently on the ps2

LMAO
they aren\'t planning on shippping this thing until Dec 20
I had the buy 2 get 1 free thing going. They shipped SSX Tricky and I got that one and it was my freebie, so today I said screw them and cancelled my Amazon order for Jak and Daxter (2 copies)
so basically I screwed them and got a game for free without paying for the other 2 games. I\'m just unwilling to wait 3 weeks
I\'m dissapointed that J+D doesn\'t have much to offer new in the gameplay department though
All that work on a kick ass PS2 engine and they couldn\'t come up with something unique to mix in with the old school platform formula.
ND will have to anser to alot of critics on this. Everyone who reviews the game says the same thing and they could\'ve and should\'ve come up with something
Have ot admit I\'m disspointed with the lack of boss fights too.

Jumping off the rail into a huge enchanting world is quite a departure from the box smashing hit Crash series. If Naughty Dog did come up with some truly unique gameplay features it would seem foolish to me to dump them all at once on top of what this game already offers. Got to save something for the next game, don\'t you think?

Sounds as if that\'s all the critics have to complain about and otherwise they\'re enthusiastic. What is with this cold water routine ddaryl, afraid our hopes are too high?
-
dam this game is awesome...no jaggies...well they hide it..hehe..
-
I\'m getting my copy tomorrow and I can\'t wait cause if it takes away most of my game playing hours (aka Spare Time) then I\'ll be very very impressed but the Pics look stunning and Daxxter has some very funny dialogue...but I\'m hoping it will last a long long time, like Spyro 1,2, and 3 did...

I\'m with you...we should be very happy for the great job ND have done...and even if they are ultra talented...they\'re not God...and couldn\'t put everything they\'d have wished in their first game...
Who knows what kind of beauty ND will show us in their next game ?! :)

Damn! I just picked up Dynasty Warriors 3, and Baldur\'s Gate. Now I gotta get this one too! Looks excellent. I guess I\'ll have to trade in Midnight Club, Knockout Kings2001, Wild Wild Racing and Moto GP! Oh yeah Ridge Racer V too! Now the only other game I want is MAXIMO!
-
***sigh***
I\'ll keep my opinions to myself then
All I said is ND should of come with a little something unique in the gameplay department. After all its a video game that has all the next gen flair except in the gameplay department.
-
no no ddaryl i like your opinions, ts good to be open like that :D
and as for what dj said about 0 jaggies, thats completly false, the games has its share of jaggies, but it doesnt hurt the game in any way what so ever period, in fact the jaggies aren\'t all that noticable.
-
Not to split hairs ddaryl but you also expressed disappointment in a shortage of boss fights. On top of that you thought it important enough to say the same things in another recent J&D thread on this forum. Knowing you to be a ND fan, it made me wonder out loud, is all. Don\'t be keeping your opinions to yourself big D, as one of the cooler heads around the forums, you are one of those I count on for early word or confirmation of what\'s up. The twist in attitude seemed a bit chilly for not having played through the game yet.
To reiterate, though there may not be much that hasn\'t been done already in gameplay, a tall order to begin with, ND making good use of the hardwares strength looks as if it will add up to a unique, very enjoyable gameplay experience. Should we ask for more the first time out? Nah

My expectations were inflated do to the fact that I really enjoyed Crash bandicoot 2 and 3
I still have to play the game to form a final opinion, and nothing is going to be able to drag me away form BG: DA
