Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy

I've played a lot of video games in my life so far, so I wasn't entirely sure where to begin. I decided on Jak and Daxter simply because it's the one I've most recently played through.

Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy
PS2- Naughty Dog- 2001

Overall I was really fond the game. It was amusing, clever and had likable characters. The story line was mostly believable and not too complicated. It was made back in -gasp- 2001, so the graphics are not quite today's standards but they're not at all bad. The voices weren't too crappy; a couple were a little annoying and I would have cast differently (such as Keira, Gol ) but that's just personal taste, and it doesn't mean they weren't adequate.

It's a very easy game. I was able to beat it 100% in a less than 24 hour time span. To be fair, I have played it before, years ago, so I knew approximately what I was doing. I'd totally recommend this game if you're not looking for something too hardcore. Like I said, it's pretty easy, so it's a nice game to chill to. If you're gonna play it, however, make sure you beat it 100%...it's a bit important if you want a special ending and if you want some idea of what's happening in the sequel.

Speaking of sequels, I'm playing through Jak 2 for the first time right now, and I think I'm almost done. I could be wrong, but hopefully that review will be up soon!
