    Highly overrated. I did not play these games, back in the day, and decided to give them a chance (mostly because of the Naughty Dog pedigree involved - I'm a huge Uncharted fan and thought it would be nice to give these games a try). I must say I was fairly disapointed and really believe the Jak collection only got a HD revamp because of Uncharted's relevance. The games are Ok, but areHighly overrated.

I must say I was fairly disapointed and really believe the Jak collection only got a HD revamp because of Uncharted's relevance. The games are Ok, but are far, far from being classics. I'm sorry I fell in the hype-trap and glad that, at least, this is not sold for the full retail price. These games are beautiful and occasionaly fun, but really dull. The Ratchet/Clank duo is a way better franchise.… Expand

    Un juego entretenido, pero que si no te van este tipo de juegos te aburres con el tiempo Pros: Es divertido, entretenido como dije, esta doblado al castellano y la historia es buena.

    These games are probably a bit dated, I guess. I tried both Jak 1 and Jak 3, but I was not really interested. There was something that drove me away in the first 2-3 hours in both games. I like the Ratched and Clank Future series, and I am rather disappointed here.

    Seriously, the most overrated games since Super Mario 64 (which I detest). My first problem is that it's boring to play. Just really unappealing design, no memorable (and truly ugly) characters, a world that really doesn't come together or feel special. Further, the gameplay is rather boring. Collect orbs and power cells, really? Nothing more! The story is incredibly unmemorable, and justSeriously, the most overrated games since Super Mario 64 (which I detest). My first problem is that it's boring to play. Just really unappealing design, no memorable (and truly ugly) characters, a world that really doesn't come together or feel special. Further, the gameplay is rather boring. Collect orbs and power cells, really? Nothing more! The story is incredibly unmemorable, and just about nothing at all is fun. The camera is often a big problem, as it often was in PS2 games. Combined with below average controls (the double jump timing, specifically) it made me die many times too often, without it being my own fault really. Other than that, I've seen no bugs and it's a solid port with great framerate. But based on how much I enjoyed the game - 5/10. Really, really average.… Expand

    Another HD port of a classic sony franchise, Jak and Daxter remind you of the good Old fashioned Gameplay of the PS2 era. The first game is more platform heavy than the others in the series meaning less focus on combat. Jak 2 adds a stack of new features including gunplay but its too ambitious as each gameplay component lacks polish.

The first game is more platform heavy than the others in the series meaning less focus on combat. Jak 2 adds a stack of new features including gunplay but its too ambitious as each gameplay component lacks polish. It tries things with story to but with a time-travel twist that was mainly to get to a new location, Haven City (think cartoony, futuristic GTA) its just not great. Jak 3 on the othe hand is what Jak 2 should have been with great gameplay that fixes the mistakes of 2. It looks good in HD thanks to timeless cartoony graphics. Worth a look if you didn't get them on PS2… Expand

    Buena remasterización de una trilogía que incorrectamente derivaría del plataformeo a un shooter en tercera persona, con un mal gunplay... la dificultad en algunos puntos del 2 y el 3 se disparen hasta niveles enfermizos.

    Trilogia importante ma dalla difficoltà molto elevata e dei comandi poco responsivi e di facile predizione la trama bene o male è collegata tra un capitolo e l'altro, un must have per conoscere la struttura dei giochi degli anni 2000.

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

    Playing this collection on the big screen TV has left me wanting for more.

    Three legendary platformers remade for the power of PlayStation 3 come in one box. They did not lose any of their appeal and its playability is still flawless. [Apr 2012]
