Gaming Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier

[Fyxe]

[size=1][color=slategray]Apparently there is another installment of Jak & Daxter coming our way. Or, at least, that's what IGN.com announced sometime back in May.
I guess that so far, the title isn't permanent, but there is definitely something going on. I'm honestly thrilled. I think that the series is running it's full course, which isn't always a great idea. But if a new saga for Jak & Daxter starts up again, I have a feeling that no matter how stale they may get, they'll be my biggest guilty pleasure.

I've really loved the series so far, I thought Naughty Dog did a great job with this one. Sure, the third game [I]did[/I] get out of character quite a bit, and spun everything in a whole new direction (which I'll admit it annoyed me)... but they seemed to patch everything back up in Jak X.

So... any other Jak fans out there? Thoughts on a new game? Have more info to add? Be my guest to share.
Oh, and I noticed that there aren't any threads for Jak & Daxter in the directory... so, any discussion in general to the series is quite welcome as well.

[COLOR=DarkOrange]Well, a little over a year ago I took a deep liking in the[B] PS2 [/B] thanks to a little game known as [B]Sly Cooper [/B] which got me back into video games. I didn't have much money at the time, so I decided to buy all the PS2 classics ([B]Ratchet & Clank, Jak and Daxter[/B], etc. At this time, all three of these games had recently released their second installment.)

When I first played [B]Jak and Daxter the Precursor Legacy[/B], I didn't take much interest in it. My interest in [B]Ratchet and Clank [/B] outweighed it and I barely gave Jak and Daxter a second glance.

One day I had decided to play Jak and Daxter while listening to music (as the game doesn't have enough cutscenes to justify increasing the volume) and I was having quite a bit of fun. Within a couple days I'd made my way up to the point where I was in between Spider Cave and the Icy Mountain place, which I was intent on completing.

That night my cousin visited and had brought a mixed CD of some rather cool techno and we listened to it in the dark while I played the mountain level. While I didn't end up completing that level, it is a very fond memory.

A few months later I decided to play and I beat the ice level but had no desire to go to spider cave. My brother, having watched me play, took interest.

And so for the next week or so I watched my little brother play through Jak and Daxter while I listened to the [B]Gorillaz CD - Demon Days [/B] a few hundred times. It was good. He beat the game (not 100% though) and I traded it to him later.

I never bought [B]Jak 2[/B] because I have heard that it is not only difficult, which I don't like, but has an open-ended [B]GTA[/B] style, which I equally dislike.[/COLOR]
