Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy is for the platforming gamers who like cutesy games, but not anime cutesy, like Mario,Kirby and Ape Escape (especially). Since this game is Western, a unique thing in the gaming industry, the art style (and almost everything else) is more of a fantasy Saturday morning cartoon. As stated in the description, you play as the silent,strong-and somewhat cool- Jak, who is on a quest to turn his best friend Daxter- the hilarious comic relief- back to his former self. But you'll feel more like you're on a tourist trip of the world of the green sun and the elvenfolk when you go through each level collecting Power Cells and Precursor Orbs, because each place is sooo beautiful! (My favorite level is probably the Lost Precursor City) The game should've have music like Kingdom Hearts, but well, guess not, because it'd probably make the game look more Japanese, I suppose.
My favorite part of the game was the cutscenes, because each time a new cutscene rolled, I was like "Oh, boy, is Daxter gonna say something hilarious?!" The best cutscenes are the ones when you die, because sometimes Daxter will pipe up saying something smart-aleck about the dead Jak, like " I'll Say something real teary at the funeral, like 'How am I going to change back now?!" Jak and Daxter, you make the grade!
I know there are other Jak and Daxter games, but I don't really have the heart to play them, because it seems like they changed Jak and the enviroment too much, turning him and his tourist trip into a grittier darker world. I'm kind of upset about that. I will probably play the PSP game Daxter (if I ever get one) because it's not that gritty in presentation thanks to our lovable hero, Daxter!
I think I'll get that far in the series, then pretend it ends there.
Daxter: Don't step into the light, Jak. DON'T STEP INTO THE LIGHT!(Shakes camera.)
Hilarious!! <:
