Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier Review

still waiting on jak and daxter 4, pls dont give up on it...

[@SossboyOG]

vesko5252 I just want a full remastered for 1,2&3 that would be 🔥🔥

[@JR-zv8ow]

vesko5252 haha that's the day I'll buy a PS4 if they bring jak back that was my fav game on PS

[@knockoutreviews6468]

J R30 well...now the trilogy and jak x are coming... you've got your wish

[@TheGreatAustino]

[@BurninPhoenix]

Well, they gave up.

[@savagebeast5483]

its daxter not dexter

[@wistful3631]

neo coyle it’s a joke

[@SalmonOfK84]

I honestly think i wouldn't have minded this game if it hadn't purported to be a Jak and Daxter game. As psp games go, it wasn't bad- the powers were reasonably inventive, the air combat was alright, and the guns, though simple, felt decent. But then you think back to JAK AND DAXTER- two of the most amazing characters of the ps2 era, and probably of all time. We all know that the series picked up after they added Dark (and Light) Jak, and not only was it a completely negligible decision to get rid of him, but the logic they used was some of the most nonsensical I've ever seen. They got rid of far too many interesting recurring characters, and when you think about the dune buggies in Jak 3, the planes pale in comparison. But the worst part is, if Naughty Dog doesn't pull another out of the bag, this is going to be the last Jak game ever made. and THAT is a very sad thought. :-(

[@360bobba]

+SalmonOfK84 It wasn't made by ND though

[@SalmonOfK84]

360bobba It wasn't, but that doesn't excuse the fact that it was using the Jak and Daxter name, the Jak and Daxter characters and many of the elements of the old games. It was just bad compared to them.

[@IAMNICK1033]

The fact that the second time he says their names he says Dexter, just shows me how little he wanted to do this

[@JackmySnack]

Redeeming qualities of this game: flying is fun, and the soundtrack was great.

[@stickmanpictures01]

Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy was one of the first games I owned for the PS2. And since then, Jak and Daxter has always been my favorite franchises. I now own every game in the series (including this one) and I enjoyed this new addition to the series.

[@ECDT1089-EtheLamborghini]

I'm a big Jak and Daxter fan, and I enjoyed this one. My favorites where the eco powers, and Dark Daxter. If another Jak and Daxter game were to be made, I hope they make those even better

[@notsolegalciv2761]

why are people hating on this game i have played it and would rate it 8/10

[@spencerducato5567]

The one thing I hated more than anything about this game was the whole dark daxter shit. It took jak 2 YEARS of dark eco exposure to develop his dark powers, and daxter gets them after falling into dark eco? WHAT?!? And didn't daxter already do that?? Is it not the entire reason he's an ottsel?? Bullshite. And jaks voice actor is gone, I'm not having that shit. And how can eco be running out? The whole series is about saving that shit from the metal heads. I don't understand this world anymore with these crazy game butchering developers.

[@nibormorfleur7922]

With The Precursor Legacy, this is my favorite Jak game. For me the only bad thing about it is that it's too short.

[@coolcool3192]

The brink? if only there weren't some cutscene showing their planet as round in the game before....

[@bencilbusher5070]

i refuse to acknowledge this game's existence to the best of my ability

[@reallybadcontentXD]

No, game is good.. but.. this is no Jak And Daxter.

[@wistful3631]

I don’t hate this game but I think it is the worst “Jak and Daxter” game

[@BringOnThaFire]

Jak and Daxter was my childhood. Beat all 3 and X multiple times. I actually enjoyed playing The Lost Frontier though.

[@themaninthebowtie4219]

It was ported to the PS2 and I picked that version up and played through a little bit of it (I hit a point where it became painful for me to play it) and here's what I think about the game, they eliminated too much from Jak by getting rid of his Dark and Light Eco powers, the story seemed a bit too forced, they didn't include enough recurring characters and over all it felt like Spyro and Crash Bandicoot where an excellent series was created and when the creators felt they could go no further with the series they left it and another company picked up the series and made a game that fails to live up to expectations from previous games in the series just to try and milk the cash cow.

[@themaninthebowtie4219]

***** Actually when Naughty Dog decided to leave Jak and Daxter Behind they sold the rights to the series, from the Bbeginning Naughty Dog only ever intended for it to be a three part series, Jak X was made as a sort of farewell to the characters. Naughty Dog had nothing to do with this game Sony licensed the game to High Impact games. Naughty Dog did help publish Daxter but that was the last time they did anything with the characters.

[@Furmanov18]

themaninthebowtie Why are you making stuff up? Jak and Daxter is a Sony exclusive IP, Naughty Dog is owned by Sony. They have not "sold" any IP. Naughty Dog started making this shit we see in the video, since they had only one team at the time and made this and uncharted, well they couldn't do both. So they let High Shit Impact take over the project. ND has stated after this: If we could go back and do things differently, we would.

[@Keriys]

i love jak and daxter but is it even worth playing this?

[@nibormorfleur7922]

If you love Jak and Daxter, yes it is. Download it and play it on PPSSPP, runs easy on any modern computer.

[@LonelyIslandKid09]

As a TRUE fan of this franchise, I believe this game doesnt exist.

[@SonicMania2099]

Naughty Dog said they would make a new Jak & Daxter game for the PlayStation 3 after they done with "The Last Of Us" and I wish they would get to work on that!

[@petplatypus]

they never said that, they're working on Uncharted 4 right now, maybe after that we can get a new Jak and Daxter, but I doubt it, unlike Nintendo, Sony likes to just leave money making and beloved franchises in the closet

[@IrishladScark]

petplatypus Nintendo depend on their franchises

[@petplatypus]

ScarkyBoy but they use them, Mario, Zelda, Donke Kong, Kirby, we got a new Star Fox on the way too, they actually use there franchises, but Sony just lets Sly Cooper and Jak and Daxter collect dust, among others

[@IrishladScark]

petplatypus I am glad they do as they do not milk the games, Id rather see new gameplay and IP's than recycled assets, they do use their franchises tho, Uncharted and LBP, Killzone and InFamous just came out and I would not be surprised if Resistance will be announced again, also I want more games rather than the same, Media Molecule and Guerilla Games are creating different games so expect goodness there..

[@petplatypus]

ScarkyBoy but what's wrong with seeing franchises continue? Mario games are still fun, Zelda is still fun, new IPs are great but every time one gets announced its the same generic bullshit we've been seeing for years, zombies, dark and gritty, 3rd or 1st person shooters, plus the franchises I wanna see again haven't had games in years, we got a Sly Cooper game somewhat recently but no Jak and Daxter, I'm glad Sony is still doing things with Uncharted and Infamous, but it would be nice to see some variety

[@MrAppleby56]

@tgm09 : It's ''DO A BARREL ROLL'' followed closely by ''TRY A SOMERSAULT'' and ''USE THE BOOST TO GET THROUGH''

[@Jetboardkid]

You are much to kind to this game. TLF is CRAP. I've been playing Jak and Daxter for 14 years. I've grew up the games, they were my childhood and TLF is a sorry Addison to a great franchise.

[@GorTheMovieGod]

I think Jak and Daxter is a better series then Ratchet and Clank and it should get more big budget games.

[@sonikkrokks143]

In MY opinion, I think it would really suck if they proved or disproved Jak's being Mar. I like the fact that it's a mystery, as to where some believe he is, or people like me, who just believe that Jak and Mar have the first name.

[@j6yxx123]

is this game for the ps2 as well as the psp?

[@Halohunter553]

J6Y xx it did doesn’t really changed that thid game isn’t great

[@ealing456]

People complaining about Daxter falling into more dark eco and mutating into Dark Daxter are beginning to irrirate me. No one KNOWS the effects dark eco ever has on anything and any given time, especially all of us OUTSIDE of the J&D universe. I think its pretty awesome that too much of the stuff turns him into something as grotesque as Dark Dax.

[@PyroMaker3]

10/10 BIG NO 0/10 BIG YES

[@nkoscik]

I loved Jak and Daxter: The Precurser Legacy. It was an amazing game for its time! I think the J&D series should have stuck with it's simple, quest-like roots.

[@LeRandomBro]

*Cough* no dark jak *cough*

[@rokuspace]

THANK YOU, finally someone brings that up, and their reasoning, COMPLETE BULLSHIT!

[@LeRandomBro]

I know i was disappointed

[@rokuspace]

seriously, dude, the only explanation would be no dark eco, but it's EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!

[@LeRandomBro]

Well him transforming into dark jak would cause him to die

[@rokuspace]

Then what makes Dax so special, and pretty much everyone else in the game, Tym could've helped too!

[@gldyOftheinternet]

SPOILERS you make it sound so simple; the story still had some unanswered questions that badly need answering like how did young jak end up in haven city? what happened to jaks mother? and why is his apparent uncle in sandover village (jak and the explorer really look related).

[@Mw2ClanHD]

The game is good. You people don't know what a good game is

[@sebwatson9887]

You dont know what gaming is

[@Michaeldragon800]

The gmeplay itself hasn't changed much really. All they added was Dogfight combat, Dark Daxter, Different Colored eco powers, and thats pretty much it.

[@jackpedley8603]

This butchered th Jak and Daxter series...

[@runningwild09]

man its been so long since I played Jak and daxter The Precursor legacy. I think that each of the first 3 were good in there own way. First one was great to start the story as a nice pretty paradise. Second one had a dark twist to things, had guns, had jak talk, had deep story and was reallly hard. The 3rd game was a good balance of everything. It had more guns, more vehicles, light jak, lots and lots of story plots and twists

[@miguelcondadoolivar5149]

7.4?! Really?! This game is crap!

[@MaoRatto]

Miguel Condado Olivar It is bad, it could've WORKED IF DID THESE THINGS, Put more MONEY and time into it and make the developers PLAY ALL OF THE JAK AND DAXTER GAMES! Then make them or recreate and make a story and push the limits of the hardware, try to make segments replace gun fight with semi THIRD PERSON SHOOTER! Not top down and use the buttons as a well to aim. Make the guns work that way and have camera mode that allows to see head and freely move it.

[@verinyce5897]

+Miguel Condado Olivar I think that a 5.7/10 would be more of an appropriate score.

[@MaoRatto]

Veri Nyce I wished they atleast made a port of the first game on PSP. They should've played Jak and Daxter series 1 to 3 on the PS2 then make the game, atleast they would have a feel and controls of the previous games

[@verinyce5897]

Quinn The Quartz I agree. My biggest problem with this game (other than Dark Daxter) is the story which, let's be honest, is very forced. Not to mention the characters; talk about bland and forgettable. I don't include the main characters because in actuality, they're not even the same characters.

[@MaoRatto]

Veri Nyce I know right? I find this game is behind crued and someone forgot to play the trilogy of games. The trilogy of games are great. The PSP version crashes so damn much as well. It is a technical FAIL! To me a game developer should always play past games before taking on that person's game IP. And the game developer behind the original series should ALWAYS be involved with the game. If don't get a disaster!

[@brownmaine]

what im still tripp'n on is if sony was the first console to have a controller with 2 analog sticks why did they think that they didnt need one on the hand held

[@ECDT1089-EtheLamborghini]

Seriously, what's with all the hate with this game? I for one enjoy it a lot. It felt like I was playing the first J&D and Jak 2 at the same time. I think the ONLY reason why the people who dislike this game, dislike it because it's not developed by Naughty Dog. So what if it's not developed by Naughty Dog. It's STILL a great game. People just can't accept change. "Oh look, a new Jak game! Wait, it's not developed by Naughty Dog? Then I don't want it".

[@EmilTheFallen]

Personally , I enjoyed this game. I liked how you could upgrade rides, use cool eco skills, play Dark Dax, etc. The only things that bother me are the inability to go Dark Jak, the lack of characters from the original games, and, most of all, it's length. Everything's rushed and there is no foreshadowing whatsoever. But I'm glad there was another J&D game. I was sad when it ended but now I hope it can go on through HIGH IMPACT GAMES. They really did an awesome job.

[@MythicSuns]

naughty dog haven't said that they've quit on jak 4 yet. they said they were struggling with a good story alongside a lot of other elements which have unfortunately escaped me. at least it shows that they care more than high impact

[@Michaeldragon800]

Yeah but as an Ottsel/Precurser, being exposed to more dark eco. Could turn him into a dark maker, Now why doesn't daxter turn into a dark maker instead? because that was an early stage, If he was like this forever he would've turned into a complete Dark maker forever! So if you think happens to daxter when touching more dark eco well remember what Jak says to daxter in Jak 3? "Who knows what ore dark eco can do to you" And this is what happens.

[@XJbLIVEfilmsX]

I got be honest guys, I went on a whim and bought it for the ps2. I'm really liking it! As a Jak and Dax game, I will admit it's not a lot like it and not a good one. BUT, as a game, a regular o' game, it's pretty darn fun! It just fails at being a J&D game. No open world exploration, more like levels like a R&C game. But I'm pleasantly surprised. Only issue I got is the terrible camera position.

[@ADayOOO]

I didn't mind the gameplay too much for a game that was made for the PSP(Yes I know there's a PS2 version), but the story really put a damper on things. If Naughty Dog was ever to make something like Jak 4, I would really hope they opt out The Lost Frontier's story from being canon. It just adds and answers so much in the series in such a bad way.

[@vVAstrAVv]

im starting to miss this game it was pretty fun outside of the combat it would have been fine but enemies were just too time consuming to kill not to mention we went from 12 guns from jak 3 to 4 in tlf which i can forgive IF I HAD A GODDAMN PECEMAKER "say guys lets replace the srongest gun with one that lobs a weak grenade like 5 feet" whoever had that idea can burn in hell

[@SilverSpade92]

you can, you just have to hold down the dpad instead of just tapping

[@mallqui123]

well thats may never happen because naughty dog and insonac confermed they arent thinking of making a game together but i realy would be cool to see rachet and clank meet jak and daxter

[@VoiceParodies]

But this was still ND's idea. They even worked closely with High Impact Games to make sure the game came out good. The only reason this game probally failed is because ND always loses their touch on a series when it comes to a 4th game of any series they make.

[@JoeTheJRPGManiac]

Ratchet and Clank: Secret Agent Clank, Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters,Phineas and Ferb: Across the 2nd Dimension, assisted with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 on wii,and some planned games. I listed them, didn't say they were good. Also the company was composed of former Insomniac and Naughty Dog members.

[@MENDEL7530159]

so instead of light/dark jak, he has some neutral abilities like slowing down time and the whole force field thing along with the green pillars. im sure that when you play the game, everything will answer it self.

[@IamtheJayman]

Anyone else think they're just bridging the gap between Jak and Ratchet? In this game they took away Jak's dark & light powers, and they gave him a plane. Also they gave Daxter a giant monster form, while Clank has had a giant robot form sense game 1.

[@MrPumpanddump]

actually the game is not too much of a setback, considering all the airplane fights and customizing your plane is amazing

[@lulu1night4ever]

The difference between Jak and Daxter's interaction with dark eco, is that Daxter fell into a 'primitive' transformation, whereas Jak was probed, trained and tazed by dark eco until it entered his blood stream via the military. I just absolutely hate this story and the change of game-play, I really hope that Naughty Dog returns to this franchise soon enough.

[@SevenMinuteNutter]

you actually did have some form of lock on in Jak 3, it was a weak element but it was there, it's just hard to notice since you often killed in practically two-three shots

[@bjtbjtbjtfffff]

the company that made ratchet and clank and the company that made jak are like best friends and their games hav usually been similar to eachother

[@Zephyr16]

@petplatypus oops...pardon me....sony owns jak and daxter, not ND. they are just developers. sony has every right to hire a different team to make games for the series. ND was preoccupied with uncharted, so they couldn't make it.

[@zarfact]

if daxers a precursor when dark eco hit him he should have turned into a darkmaker because thats what the precursors said in jak 3.

[@monsterborn12]

wow jak and dater have come a long way since the originals, jak 1 2 and 3. They made flying ones, racing ones, its all so different. i liked the first 3 better

[@SevenMinuteNutter]

Ratchet and Clank is an alien and a robot team up and Jak and Daxter are an elf and otsel team up, that's really all the difference. and Ratchet and CLank are still going strong while JD was practically abandoned by naughty dog after they made Jak 4

[@xellany]

I didn't actually consider it a bad game. It's nothing compared to the original games but it is quite entertaining. I had problems with the camera angles , the Dark Daxter & a few other minor things but other than that I didn't HATE it. I just prefer the others more.

[@VoiceParodies]

You just told my point. Jak X didn't do as well as the first 3 jaks, and it's the 4th game.

[@richboywird2]

Love how nobody has said anything how dark daxter doesn't make sence. Daxter is a Precurser so he shouldn't be affected other than he was back in 2001.

[@axonn101]

I always liked the jak and daxter series, and i played jak 2 and 3 again on my PS3, but i dont like how this game is only on the psp and ps2, a series like this needs to evolve

[@lulu1night4ever]

Very true. Some people actually forget that Dark Eco caused Daxter's transformation and started off the adventure of Jak and Daxter.

[@Farctow]

Man, I played Jak 3 on the PS2. It's the best fucking game for that console. Just a greaaat game.

[@Gatanikaz]

what i dont like about it is that fact that you cant use dark jack, i mean come on thats there biggest seller right there, when he gets pissed off and cant be stoped unless killed they need to come out with a nother game to where he is grown up and goes back in to time to make haven city.

[@BenLozareXIII]

I agree... Jak 2 was the best among all of its game. He was a complete bad ass character there and having an amazing story.

[@RemyLanslots]

@cottonwell The PlayStation 2 version of "Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier" never made it to Platinum/Greatest Hits, and so it was never reduced in price officially. Still a very fun game to have, though, just not as good as the original four titles.

[@kaliedoscopesharinga]

[@joevictor53]

It's Sony that did it, not Naughty Dog. So don't blame the best PS developer for no reason. Also, High Impact Games had made 2 Ratchet and Clank games before this

[@MojoSmelz]

or if you play someone with a slow connection - though that effects them more then you but is still in furriating

The Dark Daxter camera perspective seems to be a good choice for the whole game.

[@CardCaptorDeadpool]

Tara Strong has been voicing Keira since 2004, you're only noticing now?

[@sethbingo]

dark daxter isnt possible because hes a precursor and the dark makers are precursors exposed to dark eco so that would make daxter a dark maker(HINT THIS DOES NOT FOLLOW THE STORY LINE AT ALL)

[@RAZGRIZ135]

Listen you guys, Naughty Dog did not sell jak and daxter. Remember ratchet and clank size matters? That was not made by insomniac, they just let a different developer make one of their games. After uncharted 3 naughty dog might be able to make a jak 4.

[@starboomer11]

I agree that Dark Daxter was a bit ridiculous, but I did enjoy the game. Especially the gameplay with the planes. Why do people dislike it so much?

[@tveye363]

Well, they never forgot about Crash. They just sold the series and they have expressed how sad they are about what Crash has become. As for Jak and Daxter, ND has expressed interest in making a Jak game for PS3.

[@aperson30]

i dont think they should have made a dark daxter, like he was already exposed to dark eco, so second exposure turns him into the hulk? what?

[@0194D]

I wish they do a game where Jak and Daxter meet Ratcher and Clank, and both characters have a new arsenal of guns and on ps3 so they have more room to work.

[@TheBlueGoldenHawk]

lol at Richard McGonagle (voice of Sully) being the voice of Dark Daxter

[@Aloverssoulz]

That's true. The only time I ever get lag on my PS3 is if someone from down under is in the match with me:/.

1) Sony has control of Jak & Daxter, not Naughty Dog. 2) This game is good and I think the devs also made the great Ratchet & Clank game for PSP. 3) Anything you don't like is Sony's fault.

[@nobodysprince]

I don't think Jak is ruined. This is essentially a spin-off, as it doesn't really carry on the Precursor storyline.

[@petplatypus]

they spawned from Insomniac Games, and they made a Ratchet and Clank Game on the PSP that was very well received, they weren't nobody

[@blackdarius1342]

In the next game they should have some effort, I mean something cool, in which you could join the combat racing (Jak X) as a minigame and you could play it as the traditional way. I mean, give jak with dark eco powers again, and this time, new and better powers. I expected more from them, and I was so freaking excited when I heard naughty dog was developing a new game last year, but then realized it was "The Last of Us" good game tho, but as many people, I am still waiting for a new jak game.

[@PenguinSauce22]

@supermariolucas dude ya know they actualy had a jak and daxter movie. they took the cut scenes and some gameplay and made it into a 2 1/2 hour movie. seriously look it up, it covers jak 1 through 3 with daxter narating.

[@MrAppleby56]

They would have reached out to a larger audience if they classed it as the first Jak ps3 game though. I mean Uncharted 2 is amazing, but nothing beats Jak.

[@coolscoob]

i agree. Jak 3 just might be THE best game I have ever played, believe it or not. the gameplay was excellent, the storyline intense and the conclusion extrememly satisfying. and now we have this new game, that has nothing at all to do with the actual storyline, and having just found out that Jak is actually the legendary Mar, it's kind of stupid having to go back to spin-kicking animals and firing a shitty version of the original scatter gun to kill enemies.

[@hedge7]

This game had a huge god of a game series to live up to. Too be honest, I was expecting something worse. The game is decent, not as good as 3 but still it was a fairly entertaining game, at least for me.

[@MR_FIAT]

people saying this game is bad need to stfu, just because its different from the main series doesn't mean its bad geez by the way its on the psp so they had to cut stuff in order make it fit with the psp so please stop the hate.

[@camybratt]

Yeah, I aggree that going from the lighter original game to the darker sequel was a bit too fast but I still think that the darker Jak 2 wasn't bad and should have came sometime (maybe it sould have been the third or fourth instead of second) but like you said everyone has their own opinion.

[@Michaeldragon800]

C'mon guys this game isn't that bad. Sure its not as good as the first three games that Naughty Dog made but still this is a decent game and its nice that they made another Jak and daxter game.

[@jakxcombat]

I'm a huge fan of the series, but I just wish they made this game on the PS2 or PS3, it would be so much better.
