Jak and his buddy Daxter, who's been turned into a weasel-like ottsel, explore a bright island world collecting power cells. It's a seamless 3D platformer with almost no loading screens, built by the makers of Crash Bandicoot.
Kit's verdict · 8.0/10
A breezy, lovely platformer that's much gentler than its sequels.Kit · Sadkitty Games
Loved

Not so much

Play it if platformer fans who want a cozy, colorful adventure.
Skip it if players who want the darker, gun-heavy sequels.
