(BTW Jumpman, nomatter what you say, I\'ve got your back. I\'ll protect you from any flamers )
That makes two of us.
Woo-hoo. I got a little gang going on myself.
So Jumpman, this game doesn\'t impress you at all? Doesn\'t it make you want a PS2 just a little?
...only one thing...what do you think of this Game ? Are you interested in it ? If not...why ?
Um...I don\'t know what I\'m supposed to say now. When I respond, everyone will be like "Way to express your opinion Jumpman!" and it feels a little akward voicing my opinion infront of everyone but what the hell.
Jumpman\'s opinion on Jak And Dexter. Writen by the man himself, Jumpman. A lot of PS2 fans are extremely interested in this game for numerous valid reasons. It\'s the first true 3D platformer. The Crash series, in my opinion, since the progression is more linear instead of being able to go where ever you want, it\'s like your on tracks. Naturally, PS2 fans are wowed by this concept. But for me it\'s already been done, many times might I add.
In Mario 64, a game released 5 years ago, you could do almost the same. The only, and I mean only difference is that there were magical paintings that were the entrance of each level. All of them were connected by the castle. The Mario castle concept with connected every level was a popular one. Banjo-Kazooie and Sonic Adventure both improved upon it but you could easily tell where they borrowed from it. Jak And Dexter looks to do the same. The only difference is now your always out-side in one big level. Revolutionary? Hardly, just the power of a next-gen console. It\'s still the Mario 64 concept in the end. You know there\'s going to be one or two main parts which connects all the levels and worlds. ND just took longer to try it out.
Secondly, the gameplay looks dull IMO. Jump, figure out puzzle, punch, been there done that. I see nothing new in the gameplay so far. And quite frankly I\'m getting bored with platformers. A month ago I rented Banjo-Tooie and found it to be very disapointing. It was a good game, yes, but I\'ve already experienced it before. The first was the best platformer ever, but it just wasn\'t the same. I\'m in no current mood to do the same with J&D.
Lastly, the graphics, are a none issue for me. It looks great for a PS2 game, but there are simply better looking games elsewhere. RL, Kameo, Halo, EGO, RE1 remake, Munch, etc. The graphics are a none issue with me though. I really don\'t care about them but nonetheless this game\'s graphics do not impress me a bit.
It should also be noted, that I do not care if ND is making the game contrary to other\'s beliefs; it still looks boring IMHO. The Crash series may of been a sorry excuse for a platform game but I won\'t hold it against them and it still wouldn\'t matter in the end.
Yeah so that\'s my opinion on why I\'m not interested in the game. Word.
