Review Ranting: Jak & Daxter: The precursor Le

Journal Entry: Sat Nov 24, 2007, 4:23 PM
So here is a game I bought some time ago and decided to replay it this time and go the whole mile and get the secret ending, more on that later.

So anyway, Jak and Daxter is a great platform game, it has a vast land for you to explore and many characters for you to encounter. The story is as follows you are a mute hero Jak, who goes to some property full of evil bad guys, and you end up accidentally chucking your long time best friend Daxter into Dark Eco which is the equivalent to let's say cartoon nuclear waste, Daxter becomes the games center furry mascot, so from what it seems the story is set as to help Daxter get back to his original form. But then splits of to a rescue mission to save a bunch of old Sages.

So you are set to find these items/artifacts called Precursors, scattered through out the whole land and randomly punch and kick everything that gets in your way. Some of the initial missions are fairly fun like aligning certain towers to provide energy to the village, but after that it's pretty much pay me this much for a precursor, or simply find one just hovering about in the middle of no where. So the game is pretty much downhill and repetitive after the first zoomer bike challenge.

The game itself is visually astonishing for one of the first game on the PS2. Nice crisp graphics, no frame rate slowdowns, great animations. Nothing to complain here, but the down side of this platform game is that it simply is that, a platform game... with some serious trial and error levels, that will make you want to break your controller.

If you get to the end of the game and Keira, the female sex appeal of the game will say something about a certain door only opening when you get 100 power cells/ precursor orbs. So I might as well state this wasn't the first time I played this game, but I wanted to go and have a look at this secret ending. Last fucking time I ever do something like that, this game made me want to just break it after that pathetic excuse for a secret ending. I had deleted the game save data, so to actually go through this i had to start from the very beginning, so it was a tedious voyage. Back and forth collecting those stupid fucking orbs finally getting the 100 hundred needed, not giving a shit for the rest only to have the door open seeing a beam of light and them saying it's beautiful, magnificent and amazing, and while they are all having an orgasm the screen fades, so what ever they saw, they kept it to themselves, and your reward for collecting 100 orbs was just that, opening a door... that's it... nothing else. I would have enjoyed to see at least something like a piece of corn, but you really aren't rewarded at all by this secret ending, so don't waste your time with or go watch it on youtube.
