Jak & Daxter: The Lost Frontier

NOTE: i would give this game 4 stars but gave 5 to bring the average up as 1 is not fair!

After seeing that the latest jak was available on PSP i had to buy it! not being able to play jak on ps3 is dissapointing and they're still making them for ps2! i havent played a Jak and Daxter game for years since i bought my ps3 but to have it back reminds me of the precursor legacy on ps2; the controls feel similar to the ps2 with daxter flying round ur head while u pull of crazy jumps, spins and all sorts of crazy attacks, the grahics are pretty damn good for PSP and the camera isnt as buggy as everyone makes out. the camera is an overhead view of the surrounding area and there are plenty of enemies appearing, lush environments and a great mixture of gameplay, with some new flying levels thrown in. Even these levels control great and provide 2 gaming experiences in one as so much effort has gone into the mechanics. The gameplay time also seems to clock up impressively as i have played… more »

The gameplay time also seems to clock up impressively as i have played 40 minutes and only 6% complete (but i have been doing every side mission and explored the towns) All in all id say this game doesnt really fare well against jak 2 or 3 on the ps2 from what i can remember! but if u just missed Jak and Daxter from ur ps2 days, and after playing the standalone daxter game (which is great!) this game is well worth a play and one of the PSPs best latest releases
