Be patient and be prepared for frustrating repetition I'm told it is a good game. The individual enemies, on the other hand, are usually one or two-shot kills even the few stage bosses are not that hard. The greatest difficulty is in controlling the air-cars, and one early mission has you racing to get across the city through several twists and turns without being shot down in under a minute, a difficult task. Controls are good, but you'd best have nimble fingers. like Jak's DNA got mixed up with Doom III. the lightheartedness and silly missions (chasing moles into their burrows) are completely gone. While there is an occassional dungeon (or sewer) crawl, and some areas require you to control Daxter. If you expected a traditional platformer like the first game, forget it. And I mean throwing-the-controller-in-frustration hard. The hero is captured and imprisoned in a very dim, slum-like city of contrasts being run by an evil Baron and the 'metalheads.' You get serious weaponry, and missions are unrelenting and HARD. Jak II is like the original Jak & Daxter only in the main characters.

For this second game in the 3D platform series, developer Naughty Dog (Crash Bandicoot) called upon the talents of Hirokazu Yasuhara, designer and co-producer of Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog series on the 16-bit Genesis, to assist with level planning.Īction/Adventure, Adventure, Action/AdventureĬomic Mischief, Mild Language, Mild Violence, Suggestive Themes The game blends action sequences with light puzzle-solving situations, whether it's shooting through a series of rotating pipes on the hoverboard, traveling at high speeds in a vehicle, or aligning multiple objects in a specific direction to trigger a gateway. Jak's new skills have him zipping around the world atop a hoverboard, using multiple weapons such as a laser rifle to neutralize foes, and performing a number of acrobatics to escape from harm's way. As players make their way through this mystical world, acquiring power-ups and interacting with an assortment of characters, they will unravel over an hour of cinematic cut-scenes to further the story. The titular hero, now older and wiser, has a number of new moves and abilities this time around, all of which are available right from the start.

Using the same 60 frames per second graphic engine as its predecessor, albeit with a number of refinements for more dramatic visual effects, Jak II takes place in a darker, more futuristic world than the original game. The sequel to 2001's best-selling Jak and Daxter once again follows the exploits of the elfin hero Jak and his churlish sidekick, a weasel-like creature named Daxter.
