I'd disagree, but theyre both excellent series... "
Crossover game needed, they will call it Jack and Ratchet and Daxter and Clank. "
I don't know if that much awesome could be contained on one disc.

Ratchet & Clank over Jack & Daxter; Uncharted over Resistance.

Picked this up today and played the first couple of hours. It's much more fun than this video might let on, and picks up a lot right after the point they stop playing in this QL. So far, it seems like a pretty faithful and solid entry into the series. It has some flaws, but I'm enjoying it quite a bit.

i loved the jak and daxter series
they had excellent characters to make the gamer actually like them and an excellent story line to go along with it.

And here I was thinking it reminded me of the best game ever: Fury 3.  In trying to find an image of it, I realized IT ISN'T ON THE SITE!  WTF GUYS!  Alright, that does it, I'm making a goddamn Fury 3 page.

Those buzzsaw enemies Brad was fighting at the end is totally a rip off of an early enemy in the first Ratchet and Clank game.  They didn't even change the color.

Thought that Ratchet series was better than Jak but Jak was entertaining to play. If they continued this on the PS3 & the open world of the other Jak games they's have to almost incorporate as much as the latest GTA to make keep up with the open world activities.

I don't think this looks as good as the earlier games in terms of animation, story, gameplay. I'll probably will pick it up at some point though because I love the Jak series.

Alternate line for Jeff saying "You're gonna want to get though that door before it closes":  channel Peppy and say, "USE THE BOOST TO CHASE!"

Okay, so I come here to watch the Jak & Daxter QL and learn a little history as well.  I am pretty sure this is the best site ever and an awesome group of people.  I love the little snippets of little known facts or tangent subjects, yet totally relate to the actual topic.
 
Any review coming for this game (waiting for the PS2 ver. to come in to compare)?  Or just the quick look?

I disagree with that statement completely.  A person that is required to review something needs to be knowledgable in the genre that they are working in. 
 
I could never give a educated review of a MIG welder since I can't weld or work with metal. 
 
Brad's previous experience with video games should give him tools on how to play a game that has platforming with shooting in a 3rd person view.  I will give him a pass if he does not own or use a PSP very often but it is still just a portable gaming system. 
 
This seems to be a consistant problem as he states in this video; "It seems I die on every Quick Look".  Then stop talking and start playing or spend more time with the game before filming the Quick Look. 
 
Just a nerd's opinion.

@vunna: I don't think many people are seeing Brad dying in QL's as a problem. And his lack of multitasking prowess doesn't make his opinion of a game any less relevant. Maybe if he tells me a game is too hard, I'll be likely to take that with a grain of salt. But otherwise, you're supposed to die when playing games. If a reviewer told me s/he didn't die while playing the game, I'd think the developers made the game far too easy or maybe the reviewer is too good at games to be qualifying its difficulty level. 
Either way, dying in QL's is funny, and not a problem.

Brad keep rockin' the QL's.  We just want to see the game doesn't matter if you get stuck in the part.  Plus its a good laugh to see someone die a few times.

The Jak and Daxter series doesn't seem to be aging very gracefully (gameplay). The game certainly looks good though. Been so busy working that I forgot how much I loved QL's. Yeah that's right, I get depressed when away from the interweb.
