They sold approximately million units across the globe. Their longevity was amazing, considering the fact that the first set of units came out early and they produced the last set about a decade after in I can say that Jak and Daxter is like a spiritual sucessor for Crash, bearing some similarities with it.
I cannot say much about this game. They took advantage of the momentum from the first PlayStation, which successfully captured the adult game market. Even though Sega Dreamcast started bit generation before them, the PS2 was closely behind them and even had better hardware capability.
In addition, it was actually the first game to introduce DVD media, which turned out to be a great marketing idea considering the fact that it was introduced at a time when a lot of families used DVDs — Sony gave buyers an opportunity to enjoy their movies and game in one device. This was the nickname given to the central processor of the console.
Sega has Sonic. Sony has Crash. Well, up until about a year ago, Sony had Crash. Due to the tangled web of licensing, Sony can no longer lay claims to Crash Bandicoot, their lovable unofficial mascot. So why is this relevant? Because, while Sony may no longer own exclusive rights to the Crash Bandicoot franchise, they do have exclusive rights to the development team that created Crash and all of his games excluding the current PS2 version.
This development team goes by the name Naughty Dog and Jak and Daxter is their first foray into the gaming world sans Crash Bandicoot. I guess they don't need a bandicoot to be successful after all. The story begins with two ordinary fellas out poking around on an island of ruins when the careless Daxter falls into a pit of dark Eco. Once he drags himself out of the pit, he has been transformed into a cross between an otter and a ferret.
It is up to Jak to brave the dangers of the world in an attempt to see his wisecracking buddy returned to his human form. While it is not an easy task, it is one that most gamers will accomplish and have a good time doing so. Before you groan, understand that this game is much more than a Crash offshoot.
While it does have a very familiar and comfortable feel to it, it also has some unique features and ideas that give the game a personality all of its own. You play the game as Jak. He has a number of moves that are easily executed with only a small amount of practice. Jak can jump, kick spin okay, this was a Crash rip-off , punch, crouch, roll, dive attack, aerial attack and pull of a couple of different uppercut punches.
Jak also has a first person camera that you are able to access by holding down a button. This will help you spot objectives, items in the distance or just plain help you get your bearings. He is the comic relief that ended up losing humor after a short amount of time.
Hey, I am all for the wise-cracking sidekick but if it is overused, we all know that the sidekick can start to grate on the nerves. Every time you die, good old Daxter has some witty comment to make. Okay, maybe I am being a little harsh and I bet the younger kids will love him but about 20 minutes into the game I was asking myself the question: Why the hell am I wasting my time trying to help this annoying thing out?
Anyway, moving on, the basics of the game have Jak seeking out Power Cells. These Power Cells have a number of uses but they are primarily used to open new areas of the game.
The Power Cells can be obtained a number of ways. Sometimes they are simply floating around and you just need to walk up to them and pick them up; other times you will kill an enemy and they will drop one. Another collectible, Scout Flies, show up on each level. Gathering every one of the seven Scout Flies in a level rewards the player with a Power Cell. A Large part of the gameplay spins around Eco, a kind of hued vitality that comes in six diverse forms.
The player can use Eco controls by either gathering little measures of shining Eco particles or completely charging through Eco vents. A: Yes, you can play this game on PS3. For that, we already published an article how to play PS2 games on PS3. Further, if you need any assistance then write to us.
