 Not so much September 10, 2008
Okay so this is my daughter reviewing, not me:
I am a teen girl and I love video games! This video game is one of my least favorites, mainly because of the controls and music. I hate to dissapoint some of you extreme Jak fans, but this game is not cool.
Pros:
-can be hilarious if you make a mistake
-Jak is sorta hot
-Daxter is so great
Cons:
-music is only ok
-gameplay gets boring after 3 hours
-some missions too stupid, such as tank scence, where i outsmarted the tank and cant get to the explosive room
-dark Jak usually starts when you dont want it
i know some people love this game, but this is my honest opinion.
Hard yet Beautiful July 31, 2008
Jak 2 is the sequel to the Jak and Daxter franchise. Its is much darker and much more complex. It is also much more realistic. This game is for hardcore thinkers and gamers. Action and puzzle sequences fuse together to create an honestly unique game play. There is occasional language but it is usually necessary in this game to help the darkness. This game is the pinnacle of great gaming for the ps2.
 Does everything HAVE to be Grand Theft Auto? May 13, 2008
Let it be said that I like platformers, I like adventure games, and I don't need everything to be "adult" to have fun. Half of my game collection are the "kiddie" games with surprisingly deep gameplay and well-crafted art direction. With that in mind, the first "Jak & Daxter" game fit right in with me and my tastes. Since the two sequels (of which this is one) also got such high marks, I picked them up as well.
I'm now wishing I'd saved my money.
I'm not as put off by the "mature" content of "Jak II" as many of the other 3-star-and-under reviewers, but I do feel like it's been shoe-horned in to try and make a game more "appealing" to an adult crowd. (It reminds me of what Ubisoft did for "Prince of Persia: Warrior Within" in a sense - give us a gritty anti-hero who's really just annoying.) I find the difficulty level on par with the original "Crash Bandicoot," I loathe the vehicle use, and the whole cityscape and subsequent interaction feels like a direct copy of the "Grand Theft Auto" series.
What I wanted was a fun, funny, challenging-but-not-frustrating platformer with an enjoyable storyline, like the first game. What I got was a clumsy crime-spree-laden and angst-ridden amalgam of all the things that appeal to the hardcore-gamer and/or frat-boy demographics. What happened?
Good game...but... April 5, 2008
We loved Jak I and my oldest daughter (10) has been wanting Jak 2 for a while now and so I finally ordered it. We think the game is graet and MUCH bigger than the first but my one gripe is the language that is used. I know it is rated T for Teen but I didn't appreciate the foul language that is used. I don't know if giving you examples would be apprpriate or not so I will not. That upset me about the game but it is otherwise a good game.

I'm going to be the oddball of this situation. I'm sure the rest of the positive reviews will lead anyone to buy this game if they want it. I, however, do not like this game or the third Jak one bit.
For me, it is just utterly and completely too different from the first Jak and Daxter. I'm sure I don't like it ,also, because I much prefer a nice adventure game with a silent character than an attitude filled character in a seemingly futuristic shooting game. Jak has changed a lot and I do not like the change made. The plot line is not even related in the slightest bit to the first Jak. There is also an excess amount of violence and cursing. This game is no longer fit for people and children of younger ages. It is extrememly disappointing that they have made these two sweet characters into a derogatory bunch of simply . . . pottymouths!
I know that most people have enjoyed the change, but I for one do not. I only wanted my opinion to be known and if anyone feels the same about the change they will know of it as well.
