The Naughty Dog rival to Ratchet & Clank. I always found how the series evolved to be odd. I beat Jak II as a kid but I'm not sure why Naughty Dog decided to go into a pseudo-GTA route. I do think the game gets overly harsh reviews at times though. Dark Jak isn't a very useful power though once you get the guns. I haven't beat the other Jak games yet.

I haven't really played Jak and Daxter (I maybe tried out one game for a few minutes, but I might be remembering wrong -- I can't remember if I played it or just watched a video), and silly kid me was wary of the series because it was always compared to R&C, and I was a huge R&C fan. I remember watching a review around 2004 that compared R&C 3 with a Jak and Daxter game, and the reviewers heavily preferred Jak and Daxter and made it look like a much better game, which bothered me.

I remember watching a review around 2004 that compared R&C 3 with a Jak and Daxter game, and the reviewers heavily preferred Jak and Daxter and made it look like a much better game, which bothered me. The comparison was mostly due to the Naughty Dog/Insomniac (mostly friendly) rivalry that began with Crash Bandicoot vs Spyro then went into Jak vs Ratchet. Really the two games aren't very similar. Jak II is like GTA meets a traditional platformer while Ratchet was a platformer experimenting with some action-arena elements. That said Jak ended on a racing game while Ratchet is still going (although I can't really say if anything past Deadlocked is any good)
