You smoke crack, right?
Honestly, that\'s the only reasonable explanation for that statement.

The game is obviously flawed, even based on its\' own merits.  Don\'t get me started as to why they call it a sequel.

Glad you\'re enjoying it though.

the game\'s great, im 97-98 percent done, and i loved the whole thing-you guys are too harsh with it\'s difficulty...complaints, complaints, complaints... some of the best games that i ever played were a pain in the @$$ to beat. also, a sequel needs new stuff! it still has some good old clasic levels outside the city, and jak\'s gun has tripled the game play! anyways it\'s great game, obviously not for everyone, but a nice tough game, ill finish it off tommorrow and wait for Ratchet and Clank:D

It didn\'t triple the gameplay, it just shifted from a platform game to whatever it is now.

Think about it, almost every mission had you either shooting things until you get to the end of the level, or more plainly just shooting something.  The platform elements seem as though they were a second thought to loading the stages full of enemies so you\'d get plenty of gunplay time in...a bore, imo.

ugh...just write your review, if you feel like it of course, and we\'ll get in to it then;)

Glad you liked it though.

Shooting thinhs till you get to the end ?

sorry but i am starting to think your talking about an entirely different game..,.. well unless the European version is different Jak 2 if far removed from just run around and shoot things.

So far I am at 73% and love the diverse selection of both “missions” and total freedom. (Running round to get more precursor relics to unlock more secrets.

Yes some missions are just blast away till you get to the end but I have so far they have been well placed in the story line to avoid the repetition of this or platform stages.

Also I will get a world record in the scatter gun training course if it’s the last thing I do .  

in short if Jak 2 was a let down for you ... don\'t worry because Ratchet and Clank 2 is still the "classic" platformer.

Good move by both Insomiac and Naughty Dog...

Meh, less shooting more jumping would have been my ticket...

Yes, I am looking forward to R&C 2.

well ok, i guess its understandable that not everyone likes it when a platformer game makes a whole new game and changes everything (w/ the guns) i made my point across on why its a good game in my opinion though, so im not going to bother writing a review but since this is a complaints thread i will say, "crap this final boss is getting on my nerves, i got so close to beating him then i died!"

I\'ll give you a little heads up to balance the playing field.

Either go in able to turn into dark Jak or use the scorpions to build up the dark eco so you\'ll be ready to clear the screen in phase two of the fight. (I refer to his energy bar in phases).

Whenever all the scorpions and the flying guards overwhelm you use a dark bomb to clear the screen and it will also deplete his energy to the last phase...or close enough.

The last part is easy enough, just keep circling the pit on your hoverboard while keeping an eye on him.  When you are direclty opposite of him, let him have it with whatever you got. Repeat.

Kudos if you already did this, and try, try again as I\'m sure you\'ve learned by now:)

 yup i figured it out after my last post, alittle different strategy involving the hoverboard at the end, but mostly the same thing. Fun game though! NowI kind of feel like playing the first game again.

[sp]What did you do differently with the hoverboard?  I just kept circling until he used the little blast, shot him a couple of times then hopped back on my board. Rinse, lather, repeat...[/sp]

whoops -i kindof read your post too quickly, cause i was having problems with my printer at the same time, yea i did the same thing w/ the h. board srry

I should apologize...I just editted my post.  I assumed you would know what I was talking about when I orginally wrote the post.  

I went back and read the advice then changed it approprietly.

What exactly is progresive scan and can I turn it on or do you have to have a special tv that supports that feature?

And by the way,this is a great game only I hate when people(and reviewers) say "This game has no frameratedrops at all!"

They must have a different version then me because the final level,(not the boss) where you have to break the barrier in the nest and have to attack the nest,is almost one big framedrop for me.As soon as the lightning strikes the game drops significantly.

Just thought I mention that.

i had no framerate problems by the time i got 50% throught the game...or i didn\'t notice them
