jstup17 Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 i hardly ever really get on here but i have to say somethings about this game.. its honestly terrible.. every damn mission sucks and there all dumb hard.. i mean how can a game change that much from the first to the second.. the first game was so enjoyable and they go to this crap.. having to travel to every damn mission start.. so rediculous.. i am at 92 percent done and thank god its almost over for me.. i sure as hell hope the third one goes back to its true roots.. fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iBuzz7S Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Which is why I only want the first one. The remainder of the games are nothing like the original, which is what turned me off the games in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewis1992 Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Agreed! It is almost like they tried to reach a totally different audience with Jak 2 by changing it from a fantasy platformer to a futuristic shooter. Bad move. When I first got the game on PS2 as a child, I found it incredibly hard. Now I just find SOME missions frustrating due to the lack of checkpoints (much like some of Naughty Dog's other games...) The Krimzon Guard stop you from doing anything in the city - it feels like Grand Theft Auto or something! One of the precursor orb tweaks should remove them from the game completely. Jak 3 has elements of fun, but is still quite similar to Jak 2. It is still, essentially, a shooter. Long live Jak 1. VERY fun game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordSweetroll Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I don't think it's terrible. But it is the worst game of the series and is unbelievably frustrating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinsu2K Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Im not that familliar with the series (as in i havn't played them all) but i played and i loved the first one. But now i played a little bit of Jak II and i agree.. it's so boring and tedious. Im still going to platinum it but it won't be as fun as i originally thought it would be.

Flames Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Most of you guys don't understand that back when this game was released it was different. This Jak got alot of praise from both players and reviewers for the evolution it got from the 1st Jak, (story, gameplay, character development etc..) it even got better than its rival Ratchet and Clack with this 2nd installment which was a old rivalry with Insomniac games since the ps1 era (Crash and Spyro) ND changed the Jak 1 formula (which i love too) because simply another Sony Platform game got the advantage, Ratchet and Clank 1 was a success, Jak 1 simply didn't stand a chance agaisnt Ratchet with the simple platform formula so it got changed to compete with its friendly rival Insomiac Games. And sand boxes games like GTA were a big hit in the PS2 era so this aproach by Naughty Dog was clever. Of course to gamers nowadays the game must look like trash because the sand box and shooter games have evolved alot, and since there are so few true platform games like the 1st Jak and Daxter there is less bashing or hate for the 1st Jak. Regarding Jak 3, Naughty Dog did the right thing by making a mix of both the 1st Jak and the 2nd Jak games with new elements, which makes it overall the best Jak game imo.

Mann0802 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I disagree but maybe that's because I've got a lot of nostalgia for this game. It's definitely very hard at points but I still loved the story and the direction they took. The gameplay was still fun for me as well. The path Naughty Dog took with Jak 2 led to my personal favorite in the series, Jak 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dittyeating Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 i got my own problems with jak 2.

Dark_Phantom_89 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 I completely agree. This game is just boring me to tears and I can only take it in small doses before turning it off. I'd only played it for 15 minutes and already didn't like it. 2 hours later and I'm still incredibly bored. This is going to be such a chore to finish.

I only played Jak and Daxter back on PS2 and was full of anticipation to start Jak 2... well, big disappointment I got there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil_Mermaid_Girl Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Back on the PS2 I played and beat Jak 1 but never played the others. I'm playing 2 now and I like it. It's different, but if it was extremely similar people would complain that ND didn't do anything different from the first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nnr Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 I'm 57% through this game and not enjoyed one thing about it at the moment. Â I don't mind a game being challenging but the lack of checkpoints and terrible mechanics makes it feel like its more luck than judgement on nearly every mission - especially destroying the 5 hellcats that i'm stuck on right now:mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8BitArtist Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 i really dont know if im going to play jak 3. im at like 180 orbs right now and went to unlock invincibility so i could just plow through the entire game and its not unlocked. i guess the glitch only works with the trophy and not the cheats.

Dooplocke Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Back when I was a kid I had all 3 Jak games. But the thing I never completed the first one, but I 100% both Jak 2 and 3 playing through 2 now and some of these mission but stupidly hard and I cant believe I did this 8 years ago. But as I just platinumed the first game I think this rest will be a cake walk.

He-Man Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I played this one several years ago, and even then I found it frustrating and annoying. I absolutely hated driving around the city just to get where I wanted to go. I would always bump into the AI or the buildings. Playing it again now, and I like it even less.

Mann0802 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Looking back now, I just see at one of those titles that didn't age all that well for most people. It was extremely popular when it came out years ago but time has not been its friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubb33 Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 This game is straight bullshit! From the lack of checkpoints down to the shitty camera mechanics! How can you produce a shooter but you can't pan the camera vertical to see flying enemies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodmandurnik Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 I loved the first game but this game is making me want to pull out my hair. Cons: Hard as balls (especially the side missions) Lack of checkpoints Getting around the city (either hover and hit a non stop supply of other cars, or go close to the ground and run over random people) The addition of guns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raaght Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I plated this game last week. Only reason I did it is because I didn't want another game with a few trophies on my list. I thought the game was Ok on PS2 but I suffered playing it through this time on PS3. May have been a good game on PS2 but unless u like punishment stay away. ... I am very thankful for orbs glitch, never would have done it legit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eternalchaos72 Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 i think i will skip jak 2 and just play with jak 1 & 3 then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figure Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 1. The driving is so bad. If you go low you run over the citizens and guards and if you fly high you crash into everything flying because of the narrow paths. 2. Why did they add guns? Not just for Jak but for enemies too, I preffered if there was no guns just combat. 3. Rant over/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landail Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I remember playing this game back on the PS2, but I didn't remember it being so bad... Horrible fighting mechanics (both melee and using the 'guns'), horrible camera, horrible platforming (love when you can't even see below you because of the camera angle), and so many glitches (after 30 tries beating the street race sub-mission (not the one with Errol), I was neck and neck at the last ring, and got the 'You Win' with a 'try again?' option... the game told me I won, but didn't record the win, so I had to redo it AGAIN). I'm going to just finish the main story and use the orb glitch to get my 286 orbs... the game is too glitched to get them without... glitching =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peabob_ Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Agree 100% with the OP. This game sucks. Bland colour pallet. Boring travelling between mission start points. Absurd difficulty spikes. And the worst crime of all... it's not fun to play!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
