I wouldn't recommend you get this.NOTE: This will contain spoilers for those who haven't played or seen videos on the Jak and Daxter series. You do have to have quick reflexes for certain missions, so if you have carpal tunnel syndrome or difficulty with fine motor skills. Although you "kill" a number of your enemies, there's no blood and guts, usually only green eco left (used to heal Jak) after you defeat an enemy. meaning that sometimes there is more than one way to get to an area. Some call this a platform jumper, I suppose you can say that if you keep in mind it's a 360 degree 3D platform jumper. Some of the quests or if you prefer the game term "missions" are significantly difficult, but for the most part aren't too hard for the ones that move you thro ugh to the end of the game.

Many aspects of game-play and even the soundtrack are similar. If you are a fan of Crash Bandicoot Warped(also made by Naughty Dog), you will enjoy this game. I also liked the storyline and how the levels looked. What I liked about this game is that it's simple, fun, and great for any age. ![]()
