    The Jak and Daxter Trilogy doesn't hold up very well as a remastered version of the original games.

Fans of the series won't be disappointed, with all the new features including 3D, Trophies and much more. Also, new players will also get a blast out of it as they will be able to see what Naughty Dog used to do before Uncharted. One, if not the best Collection out there for the PS3. A must buy for any nostalgic gamer, or new ones looking for a thrill.

All three are great games and this collection deserves a purchase.… Full Review »
