Jak and Daxter: the precursor legacy review

Hey guys, so recently I have been playing an game that I enjoyed playing as a kid however I never finished it when I was young. I don´t know the reason, I came far into the game and I loved those kinds of games, platforming games such as Donkey Kong 64, Super Mario 64 and Banjo & Kazooie. But something in this game made me stop playing it.

However when I restarted playing Jak and Daxter now I fell in love with those kinds of games again. I remember the feeling of exploration, the feeling of joy when finding a missing precursor orb or the feeling of anger when the camera fails to follow the character and you die...

Anyway, the story is as follows, Jak and Daxter explores an Island where there are dark eco (eco is the energy of the world of Jak and Daxter), and Daxter trips and falls down in a pool of dark eco which transform him to a weasle type of creature. Their goal is to find a dude which can transform Daxter back to human form however this dude is none other than the games antagonist.

Controlling Jak and Daxter flows usually... the controls can feel outdated and robot like but thats mostly by the cost of the camera, the camera failed me multiple times when I tried to make narrow jumps or battling enemies. This was probably the reason I put the game down in a box.

However, each time I progressed in the game the more I wanted to play it, I was looking forward to see how the game ended because I know there are two more games in this series so I really wanted to know how this part ended.

If you are a gamer who liked the old platforming games like the ones I mentioned earlier then you will love Jak and Daxter: the precursor legacy. I can really recommend this game for everyone.

Overall: 8
Verdict: Stiff camera controls drag the game down but awesome characters, fun platforming and interesting story makes it worth it for the player to play this adventure.
