As a few of you may know, there is a new Jak and Daxter game coming out, entitled "The Lost Frontier". This new game looks stunning in it's PSP trailer, but doesn't look like a JnD game much. I think it's because Naughty Dog (the creators) handed it over to High Impact games. So, I decided to write this review as a tribute to the original, and in my opinion, the best.

Jak and Daxter is about a boy and his Ottsel who go off to find a cure for his friend, Daxter. The Ottsel. You see, Jak and Daxter had "borrowed" the fisherman's speedboat to go to Misty Island and Daxter had fallen into a vat of "Dark Eco". Instead of dying a horrible death, he popped right back out as the orange rat-like creature.

You control Jak, the silent protagonist of this game. In Daxter's own words, "He gets to do all the cool stuff, like pilot A-Grav Zoomers." The aim of the game is to collect Power Cells for different mechanical inventions, like the Zoomer's heat sheild or the boulder lifter. There are also orangey pinky egg shaped objects floating around the place called Precursor Orbs which can be exchanged for Power Cells.

This game is very nice for it's age. It has an open world setting with NO loading screens whatsoever. The aforementioned A-Grav Zoomer is fun to tear around on, but there are only limited spaces you can ride it.
