Unfortunately, the world is always in need of heroes and when Eco (the lifeblood and power source of the planet) supplies begin to dwindle, it is up to Jak and Daxter to find a new source.

Now, after the fall of the Krimzon Guards and the Metal-Heads, the destruction of the Day Star, and the defeat of the Dark Makers it finally seemed that Jak and Daxter had earned some well deserved time off. From Haven City to the Wasteland to the mean lanes of the Kras City Combat Racing Championship, Jak and Daxter have faced evil wherever it resides. Some missions occur within Haven City, but most take place in additional levels, usually in the wilderness outside the city.When Jak and Daxter set out on their first adventure to Mysterious Island they unwittingly started a quest that would put them toe to toe with the most dangerous villains and evil organizations in the world, consequently transporting the duo 500 years in the future to continue the fight. Progression through the game is mission based, meaning you are given certain missions to complete and doing so earns you rewards, allows you to explore new areas, and triggers additional missions. It greatly improves your mobility and many of the later missions require shredding and grinding, so some skill with the Hoverboard is necessary to complete the game. This gives the game a Tony Hawk style skateboarding element, though it hovers in the air as in Back to the Future II. If you can avoid them though, they will eventually lose track of you and return to their usual patrol mode.Īround midway through the game you obtain the Hoverboard. While they will usually just ignore you, if you do anything to injure one of them or damage one of their vehicles they will go into alert mode and attack you on sight. The main obstacles here though are the Krimzon Guard.

There are pedestrians at ground level and zoomers flying around just above their heads, so avoiding traffic is a major concern. The central hub for the game is Haven City, a bustling metropolis with maze-like streets. Dark Jak has enhanced fighting abilities and can use several additional moves.

He can now use Dark Eco (now a collectable instead of a hazard) to transform into Dark Jak. In this game Jak can use guns of various types in addition to his punching and kicking moves from the first game. While Jak II keeps the platformer core of its predecessor, its urban environment, mission based story progression, and some of it's new game mechanics have more in common with games in the GTA series. The game Daxter serves as a mid-quel, chronicling Daxter's search for Jak. The game is followed up with Jak 3 in late 2004, which finishes the trilogy. The game was released in 2003 throughout North America and Europe, where it was titled Jak II: Renegade, and in Japan in 2004 where it is addressed as both Jak II and Jak Cross Daxter 2 ( ジャック×ダクスター2, Jakku Kakeru Dakusutā Tzu ?). Jak II is a third person platform action-adventure video game developed by Naughty Dog for the PlayStation 2 console and is the second installment of the Jak and Daxter series.
