I liked all of the Jak and daxter games but none of them had the magic that Jak 1 had. The environments are beautiful and the gameplay still feels good to this day
True.
+sorar4 My favorite Mission
Chiefsmackabro Yo umm if you like the lost frontier there's something wrong with you I don't even consider it a Jak game
Chiefsmackabro Yo I agree with you, but the gameplay is exactly the same in all 3 games. They only added more to his moveset by giving him guns, vehicles and with the eco forms. Unless you're talking about how the objectives change or the different lvl designs
Chiefsmackabro Yo True
To me, perhaps the single greatest thing this game did (besides the orgasmically smooth controls), is the fact that it never loads. Even if you die. It never wastes your time ever. It's fucking brilliant and I've never seen it done since. Really disappointing, but I always loved that about it, even back then.
Interesting fact about the loading, whilst loading areas, the game would make you trip before you could enter (this is only if you get there fast enough to trigger the tripping though).
I still remember that even as a kid, I thought that this would become the standard in gaming. But where are we today?
At least Sony seems to try to make this the standard now with the PS5; they even used Jak 2 as an example!
@@xXYannuschXx during that presentation I literally had to contact my brother to hype that they mentioned Jak and Daxter's clever loading system.
@@AltName7 when did they mention this? I'm actually getting plat for Jak and Daxter on the PS4 and holy shit man... This game's transitions are smooth af. It had me thinking about PS5's supposed speeds.
@@xXYannuschXx if you want no loading zones stick to a less powerful console cause theres more and more added to new game.
Normally when I go to replay the Jak & Daxter games, I play this one, then play about half of Jak 2 before I get frustrated and quit.
Jaeger Newman iv playd to jak x with 100% in every game. now i want to replay all xD
i have played the ps3 verions and have 3 platin trophys :3
Same! I can play the first one over and over, but the second and third...blehh
Totally agree. Jak & Daxter was a great 3D Platformer set in a beautiful fantasy open world. The Jak sequels came off as sub par GTA III clones with Jak as a character, did not like it.
The sages were kidnapped because Gol and Mia wanted to sap their energies to power their robot. Samos even said it himself!
The Precursor Legacy is my favorite of the trio and I feel like its pretty underrated. If Jak and Daxter do comeback one day, I'd like it to return to a similar concept. Eco is awesome.
going back to a similar concept would be tricky since the guns pretty much replaced the whole concept of eco (or at least up until green and light eco (dark eco is used for the peacemaker guns ) )
ViewtifulBeau agree
Would it be to much to just throw out 2 and 3. The could remake jak 2 with a really good story not the futuristic steam punk GTA wannabe
@@whatsittooya9690 Jak 2 did have a really good story, tho.
@@superlombax1561 Eh, no
Jak 1 is my favorite because it's a pure platformer.
7:20 Because it was a last minute implementation. Behind the crystal wall is actually an entire unused level called Yosemite / Unsnowy Mountain.
This was the first ps2 game I ever played because my cousin let me play his copy when I was little and it is the main reason I bought a ps2 but until I saw this video I couldn't for the life of me remember what title in the franchise it was all these years I only remembered it was jak and daxter and I thought the precursor legacy was a prequel not the first game
Took me a while to realise Antdude used to have the Scott the Woz outro theme lol
Holy fucc
Scott's use of it is better.
@@jameslawrenson1208 true
@@jameslawrenson1208 Of course it is.
@@jameslawrenson1208 shut up Scott the Woz sucks ass. He’s not a good UA-camr
We need another game like The Precursor Legacy. I loved Jak 3 but I feel like if they returned to this style of game it would be fuckin nostalgic.
10:21 wait is he asking for more loading screens?!?
I went from the Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga full video to this.
The growth in videography dude. Keep doing what you're doing! You have honed your style throughout the years and I can't wait to see what you make next!
Daxter turn into a digimon..... because digimon can talk lol
daxtermon
I love Digimon
Have to love this game's soundtrack, and environments. One of the biggest reasons why I still love this game.
You know the most precious part of this game?
No loading's...
Never played this game more than maybe 15 mins when it was new, I just got this game for myself a few weeks ago and started playing it last week. I completed it 100% (got all 101 power cells) a few mins before typing this, and the game definitely holds up 15 years later, I had fun with it. As for Daxter, I actually thought some of his statements were helpful when I didn't know what to do exactly.
One of my favorite games of all time.
you forgot how fucking terrifying the misty island sea was
your scrips are getting a lot better. Keep it up!
One thing that really made the Jak and Daxter series age well is the animation system. Most PS2 games had very stiff animations and the change between animation states (idle, walking, running, jumping, attacking, etc.) was instant. Jak and Daxter blended those animations, like you would do in a modern game engine, which makes everything seem incredibly fluid, which is further reinforced through the good movement system.
I also think Jak 2 and Jak 3 cutscene models are a contender for best looking characters of the sixth generation, even compared to many PC games at the time such as Half Life 2, no character reach the incredible amount of 15.000 polygons in a single character until the seventh gen.
9:15 Snowy Mountain? Sandover Village? Lost Precursor City? Gol and Maia's Citadel? The Final Boss? LAVA fucking TUBE?!?! This game has very memorable music!
+masgames38 Some of my favorite themes from video games come from this Jak & Daxter
kaedan henderson Same!
+masgames38 (Blaze) It sure isn't bad. It fits in the game and so on but seriously, there isn't that many memorable tracks. In my opinion Jak X is where the awesome music is in the series. Turbofied, Bird, Whiplash and many others are just awesome and also fit the game perfectly. :)
***** Yes but a lot of the songs in that game were remixes of eachother or slightly varied versions, though I do love the OST yeah
Don't be surprised he said stupid stuff. Antdude is a biased guy mostly Nintendo fanboy and when he reviews games outside Nintendo he becomes too nitpicky and such all the time, this isn't the first time.
9:47 *Power Cells
Haha, I make that mistake all the time.
3:23 You got that right, HOT DAMN!!!!
A water level good? OOOOHHHHH MY GOD!!!
As a kid Jak 2 and 3 were always my favorites of the series, but after replaying I think that Jak and Daxter is a much better game. I still like the other two but idk this game just has more charm for me now
"You don't know what you're missing" 😏.
Health. Super Star. Fire Flower. Sonic Speed Shoes. You're Welcome.
Precousor Legacy's eco powers in a nutshell lol.
I tried posting this comment earlier, but it seems like it didn't properly submit? Good ol' Google Plus!
It's finally here! You guys have wanted it for a long time, and it's finally time to talk about the Jak & Daxter series. This should be an interesting marathon as I'm sure I'm bound to make hardcore fans of the series upset at some point...sounds like fun! I'll leave the question open for this first video. Which is your favorite game of the series? I'd probably say this first game, or maybe even Jak 3. Jak 2...that's gonna be an interesting video. Thanks for watching!
Of the main series? Jak and Daxter. But including the spin offs? I actually really enjoy Jak X: Combat Racing... even if it's more or less based off Mario Kart.
Now all we need you to do is review the future ratchet and clank series.
Good ol' Google Plus and UA-cam. \m/ In all seriousness, for a review in which you thought people were gonna get really mad, 1 dislike. The ratio is in your favor.
***** Jak 2 and 3 are hard as hell compared to Jak and Daxter lol. I've 100% the first game in 5:35...the other two however...yeesh. Still love em' to death though!
lol I'm not quite sure... maybe battletoads difficulty...?
Loved dude!
Cant wait for the next
Dude its been 6 years and the quality of these videos is just so high into the sky i love it
apparently, I wasn't the only one to try to see these videos this year, what a coincidence!
@@HidroFalante cool!
otsel (otter weasels) and yak coes. am I the only one getting an avatar vibe there?
IMO Jak and Daxter 1 is the best traditional collect-a-thon 3D platformer. Tight controls, seamless vibrant world, excellent music, the list goes on.
Jak 2 is the best in the series though.
Jak 2 is easily my favorite one in the series, with the precursor legacy in second. I've still never actually completed Jak 3, but what I did play was fun.
Good review mate! I love the whole collecting thing of the game, it scratches my completionist itch.
I liked Jak 3 the most, that game's main storyline was epic and I liked how it was an expanded, improved version of Jak 2.
Jak 2 is a very close second though, the only thing I didn't really like was the infamous Drill Platform mission on Hero Mode..
I am an italian user, and despite the fact that you speak tooooo quickly the video is absolutely excellent. I remembered when I was a child! Thanks
great review and the music for me personally is insanely memorable
the best thing about at least the first jak game, is the music for me. i can remember playing the first few hours of the game over and over again because id didnt know i could save the game and i was loving it. skip 15 years later and i played all the main games, they are good enough to give it a shot
Awwwww Jak & Daxter, my first foray into the PS2 world, my first game using the analogue stick (I was all D-Pad throughout the PS1 games lol) and still my fave video game of the PS2 (and probably overall fave video game ever :D heehee) ^^
Awesome review, dude :D I can't wait to see your Jak II review, good luck too ;) lol
the sand over village theme gives me a lot of nostalgia
I am glad that at least this channel actually gave a shot on jak & daxter no matter what. :)
such an amazing game series imo
only played the first 2 though
I now want to play this game
Oh can't wait to see the next one XD
my favorite line from daxter: "well uh, while your down there can you uh, rub my feet?"- I actvate his death scenes commentary in a fiery brazor to make daxter look straight from hell.
It's my childhood all over again, I've played all these series through so many times (up to the last ones in the ps2 series) I loved them all so much as a kid. I have played some of the ps3 games off of these series but they really don't seem nearly as good as the ones on ps2
Honestly I'm surprised you didn't make note of the lurker sharks just being there lol
Gol is also voiced by Dee Snider and he's not gunna take it.
This is my favourite game of all time, and its also my first game i ever got. Love this game
Good, review, but I completely disagree in the music department. I LOVE the music, and I can playback every track in my head. Definitely worth the listen.
i barely can if i'm honest however i do like the soundtrack. sentinel beach is one of my favourite soundtracks. that and the temple music from Jak 3
I’m 5 years late, but, me being 16 now, I can still remember the songs when I was 4. I just came back to play the franchise and the music is superb and even better than what I remember. Legitimately the best soundtrack of any game (nostalgia bias).
@@ChickenBeter I agree with you bro, 5 months late haha. I'm currently getting platinum for Jak and Daxter on the ps1 and I'm appreciating how beautiful the music is. The ambience and variety in its soundtrack is an example of masterclass composition
I heard that Ace Attorney music at the beginning. You can't hide the truth from me!!
I love this game so much. A new game in the series would make me so happy!
Lol u should've mentioned the fish that eats u XD
DUDE the soundtrack of the game is fucking brilliant! Anyways nice video
This is the first video I have ever watched by you so do you normally get terms mixed up in the games you review?
This review is so dam funny. lol. really good review.
Was a brilliant sand box platforms.. took marios inspiration and did amazing things with it
SonikDude101... or should I say AntDude92, its is very nice to see you. You were the first Let's Player I had ever seen and I really enjoyed watching you, so thank you for that. Now I'm starting my own channel because you inspired me to do so ever since I watched your Spyro the Dragon Let's Play a long time ago. I hope it goes great!. I just announced my Spyro the Dragon Let's Play and I'm about to record right now so wish me luck. You are the absolute best!
This was a great review and I agreed with most things you said. I have a feeling your Jak 2 review is going to have an opinion very similar to mine, I'm looking forward to it.
Never played any of these games, defiantly got to try them!
Discussing current events with a tape dispenser involves discussing Gannondorf and the Zelda timeline. Who knew!
this is the first game i ever beat, in 2002. i was 4.
this game looks and plays so great
This Sly and Rachet were my childhood
this is the one game i can 100% in lass than a day
love it
6:16 me when I play this game at ten o'clock
Aww shit man, I love Jak 2. The next video is gonna HURT.
I consider this game my first true childhood game.
Man, I remember wanting to play this back in the day, but I was getting to the age where I just wanted to play GTA3/VC and Halo 1 all day. Its a shame I couldnt experience it at release
heh heh. It's like Lenny face but words.
The way everyone makes you buy power cells in this reminds of me of Mario Sunshine and how they make you use blue coins to buy the shine sprites that will literally save the village they live in xD
Fun fact: ozzy The ottsel was one of the names Universal presented naughty dog with when crash bandicoot was being developed. The other name being willy the wombat
best series ever
I think I heard somewhere that the main reason Daxter exists is to show off what the PS2 could do with his animations on Jak and all.
The soundtrack actually changes in every place you go. Same rythm more or less instruments.
;)
this game is my childhood
Great Review
I played Jak 2 again about 6 months ago until the level where u see samos' hut. I failed at beginning of level 10 times,quit,then just now finished the level.
I can't get over how adorable a numbnuts Jak is
So good I've only played the first game but it was so good!
There is a way to record from a PSP, dude. If its a 2000 or 3000 model, I believe, you can use component cables to connect it to your TV/Capture card. I'd really like to see you do Daxter as its really good considering the platform its on.
3:19 We all love a good Animaniacs reference.
I kinda wish you had mentioned the boundary enemies if you swim too far in the sea.
wow i just found out that at 0:56 the agents are gol from the first game
Pretty much the only 3D platformer I could ever get into.
3:23 Me: heeeeloooo nurses
Spider Cave pissed me off the most in this game, but this game is still descent! :D
Unlike your spelling.
Homer sams What is wrong with my spelling? -_-
"descent"
First game i ever played didn’t even know what the ps2 was when I opened it for Christmas 😂🤷🏼♂️
You should use some footage from Scottishduck's lp of Jak 2 game, it'll show just how hard Jak 2 is
damn man your channal only got better sense day ony keep it up
These games made me.
8:53 I mean seagulls are my least favorite animal so I would enjoy that.
Yeah, it always seemed eerie that Crash and Spyro's histories were roughly identical... hope that continues, given that Crash is coming back again!
oh my god me and my brother used to play this game all the time when we were young it has always stuck in my memory as a brilliant game. Does anyone know any way I can get this on mac cos when I was little I didn't really pay attention to the story or even complete it and I really wanna play it again for nostalgia.
JANUARY 25th 2021 Ah Memories
when hyrule historia came out,i had the option to get either that or jak and daxter hd collection [had my eye on it for a bit]
i chose the latter and i do not regret it a single bit
i love all jak and daxter games. need a new ps2 in order to continue my lost frontier game. good thing i kept memory cards in with the memory card holders.
Ahaha, I see you have improved so much from the last time I watched one of your videos, you sir, are a very good reviewer. :P This was personally my favorite of the games from this series, I liked this one a whole lot. And not to sound creepy, but it is interesting to see what you look like. Seriously, not as a creep, just since I've been watching your videos since what, 2009 now?
Hey Kariana, I didn't know you watched AntDude's videos, that's pretty cool.
The first Jak and Daxter is the best and my favorite.
This is the best jak game imo
