    The eco ist strong in this one!

    Jak & Daxter manages to embed casual gaming within a fantastic but thoroughly plausible world.

    Eco, orbs and power cells connect you to the mysterious artifacts and technology of the precursors. Though ancient, there is nothing dusty about this legacy!

    The game follows Jak, but the adventure is all yours! Graphics are quite striking (still), but the sound and voice acting puts it over the top. Especially the lack of the latter on Jak. Muting the hero was an ingenious move! Without the hero uttering a single word, the player feels much more like a part of the conversation.

    Gameplay and storyline make for a fast paced, action packed and entertaining experience that simply won't age.

    A truly brilliant game!

Featuring the first fully 3D open world platforming world it quickly stood out from the pack. This combined with the great voice work and solid gameplay quickly laid the groundwork for one of Sony's flagship franchises.While later games in the series would take on a much darker tone this first Jak adventure is ...
