To me, perhaps the single greatest thing this game did (besides the orgasmically smooth controls), is the fact that it never loads. Even if you die. It never wastes your time ever. It's fucking brilliant and I've never seen it done since. Really disappointing, but I always loved that about it, even back then.

Interesting fact about the loading, whilst loading areas, the game would make you trip before you could enter (this is only if you get there fast enough to trigger the tripping though).

Totally agree. Jak & Daxter was a great 3D Platformer set in a beautiful fantasy open world. The Jak sequels came off as sub par GTA III clones with Jak as a character, did not like it.

The Precursor Legacy is my favorite of the trio and I feel like its pretty underrated. If Jak and Daxter do comeback one day, I'd like it to return to a similar concept. Eco is awesome.

This was the first ps2 game I ever played because my cousin let me play his copy when I was little and it is the main reason I bought a ps2 but until I saw this video I couldn't for the life of me remember what title in the franchise it was all these years I only remembered it was jak and daxter and I thought the precursor legacy was a prequel not the first game

We need another game like The Precursor Legacy. I loved Jak 3 but I feel like if they returned to this style of game it would be fuckin nostalgic.

I went from the Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga full video to this. The growth in videography dude. Keep doing what you're doing! You have honed your style throughout the years and I can't wait to see what you make next!

One thing that really made the Jak and Daxter series age well is the animation system. Most PS2 games had very stiff animations and the change between animation states (idle, walking, running, jumping, attacking, etc.) was instant. Jak and Daxter blended those animations, like you would do in a modern game engine, which makes everything seem incredibly fluid, which is further reinforced through the good movement system.

I also think Jak 2 and Jak 3 cutscene models are a contender for best looking characters of the sixth generation, even compared to many PC games at the time such as Half Life 2, no character reach the incredible amount of 15.000 polygons in a single character until the seventh gen.

Have to love this game's soundtrack, and environments. One of the biggest reasons why I still love this game.

10:21 wait is he asking for more loading screens?!?

You know the most precious part of this game? No loading's...

Never played this game more than maybe 15 mins when it was new, I just got this game for myself a few weeks ago and started playing it last week. I completed it 100% (got all 101 power cells) a few mins before typing this, and the game definitely holds up 15 years later, I had fun with it. As for Daxter, I actually thought some of his statements were helpful when I didn't know what to do exactly.

I tried posting this comment earlier, but it seems like it didn't properly submit? Good ol' Google Plus! It's finally here! You guys have wanted it for a long time, and it's finally time to talk about the Jak & Daxter series. This should be an interesting marathon as I'm sure I'm bound to make hardcore fans of the series upset at some point...sounds like fun! I'll leave the question open for this first video.

Loved dude! Cant wait for the next

otsel (otter weasels) and yak coes. am I the only one getting an avatar vibe there?

the best thing about at least the first jak game, is the music for me. i can remember playing the first few hours of the game over and over again because id didnt know i could save the game and i was loving it. skip 15 years later and i played all the main games, they are good enough to give it a shot

the sand over village theme gives me a lot of nostalgia

great review and the music for me personally is insanely memorable

my favorite line from daxter: "well uh, while your down there can you uh, rub my feet?"- I actvate his death scenes commentary in a fiery brazor to make daxter look straight from hell.

I am glad that at least this channel actually gave a shot on jak & daxter no matter what. :)

I am an italian user, and despite the fact that you speak tooooo quickly the video is absolutely excellent. I remembered when I was a child! Thanks

Awwwww Jak & Daxter, my first foray into the PS2 world, my first game using the analogue stick (I was all D-Pad throughout the PS1 games lol) and still my fave video game of the PS2 (and probably overall fave video game ever :D heehee) ^^ Awesome review, dude :D I can't wait to see your Jak II review, good luck too ;) lol

It's my childhood all over again, I've played all these series through so many times (up to the last ones in the ps2 series) I loved them all so much as a kid. I have played some of the ps3 games off of these series but they really don't seem nearly as good as the ones on ps2

such an amazing game series imo only played the first 2 though

I love this game so much. A new game in the series would make me so happy!

Gol is also voiced by Dee Snider and he's not gunna take it.

Was a brilliant sand box platforms.. took marios inspiration and did amazing things with it

So good I've only played the first game but it was so good!

Discussing current events with a tape dispenser involves discussing Gannondorf and the Zelda timeline. Who knew!

Man, I remember wanting to play this back in the day, but I was getting to the age where I just wanted to play GTA3/VC and Halo 1 all day. Its a shame I couldnt experience it at release

The way everyone makes you buy power cells in this reminds of me of Mario Sunshine and how they make you use blue coins to buy the shine sprites that will literally save the village they live in xD

The Precursor Legacy is the best Jak game hands down. First played when I was probably 7-8 now 25 and just beat it like 3 times in a row! I love everything about this game and just wish they would remake it with graphics like Uncharted 4. I know it will never happen but man I would be so happy if it happened!

I just played this game for the first time on the PS4 last year. Thought it was amazing. (Also Hadn't played a open 3d platformer since Mario Sunshine). Still haven't started 2 or 3 because I'm scared of what everyone says about them and all of their changes from 1.

You should use some footage from Scottishduck's lp of Jak 2 game, it'll show just how hard Jak 2 is

The gameplay and graphics still hold up. One of the benefits with making cartoon-ish characters instead of humans.

Honestly, Jak 1 is the only game I like from this franchise. 2 is way to punishing with its difficulty and 3 is too dark (like it takes itself too seriously).

Yeah, it always seemed eerie that Crash and Spyro's histories were roughly identical... hope that continues, given that Crash is coming back again!
