    Uno de los mejores juegos de la PSP sin más, jugabilidad fluida, graficazos y una historia muy entretenida que en ningún momento se hace larga o pesada.

    For a PSP game this is really good. Not as GOATed as the Jak games on PS2, but pretty solid for what it is.

    Está buenísimo xd watafok además que los personajes son geniales tienes mecánicas nuevas con el personaje de daxter. La historia está bien para ser un juego de PSP y continúa la travesía de jak and daxter: precursor of legacy

    One of the best 3D platformers honestly ever, on any system, fun combat and some of the greatest level design around, plus the dream sequences are hilarious.

    The great memories playing this game on my PSP. One of my very actual "console" like game. The story was so engaging with lovable characters. Each level felt unique and were so fun. It had a great variety of gameplay features and puzzles to feel fresh. Overall, this is an amazing game and had unforgettable memories with this game. This game was definitely way ahead of its time.

    I think this could be the best Jak game. Right here you can play without strafe and don't have fire in your ass. Daxter isn't annoying, levels are good, music is good. My first Jak game. I really enjoyed it in 2010-2015, but it still playable in 2021.

    First I was a bit sceptic but the game turned out to be very enjoyable. Somehwat simple mechanics and low amount of a bit frustrating moments but the game itself is a lot of fun. Had a great but short time with it. Would definetly recommend it for someone that wants an easy to pick up game for some chill fun every now and then.

    A great childhood game, I still remember how I killed bugs and flew in the final on a plane. For me, the final as a child was difficult. It's good. In general, playing music and the environment leaves warm feelings and memories, returning to feel a pleasant taste of nostalgia.

    Играл давно, но игра хорошая. "Классический" платформер в каком-то роде

    I played nearly all of the Jak and Daxter games and i really love them, same goes with Daxter for PSP! Its an (as usual for a Jak and Daxter game) really funny game with cool characters and an unique art style that stays in mind. Its a nice addition to the Jak and Daxter series and in my opinion a must have for everyone who has a PSP!

    Daxter a spinoff not made by Naughty Dog is pretty amazing. Daxter still got the moves and the groove to attract pretty women or captivate those that want to help him on rescuing his best friend while being captive by Haven City militia before the events of Jak 2.

    Замечательная игра с очень неплохим сюжетом и, немаловажно, геймплеем. Отвечает на вопрос о том, как Декстер спас Джека между первой и второй "большими" играми.

    Fun and addicting. This game is has among the highest replay values I've ever seen. You never grow tired ow this game. If you're on the go, you need to own a PsP with Daxter. It's not a choice, it's an obligation.

    Lovely graphics, memorable characters, intriguing level designs, laugh out loud humor, and the fact it is all portable.

    Simply put, if you own a PSP, you SHOULD have Daxter

    I've beat this game twice and i still enjoy playing such a fun game you get to collect these eggs to unlock stuff and the soundtrack sounds awesome especially when your going to the baron's palace, fish cannery and the final boss. The best psp game ive played besides gta vice city stories

    Back in 2006 I picked this game up for my psp (without having ever played a Jak & Daxter game if you can believe that), and I really enjoyed it despite that I was confused about the story here and there. It's a decent size game for the psp, around 17 or 18 levels and more importantly, it's a fun, solid platformer. I would recommend it even to vita owners, it's only 10 bucks on psn.

    I only paid around $15 Australian for this, and I certainly got my money's worth. The story and humour aren't stellar, but the visuals and gameplay are the big achievements and more than make up for the other shortcomings. Quite a bit of fun, but it's unlikely to resonate with you afterwards, nor is there any replay value.

    Daxter is a great PSP adventure that nicely compliments the Jak and Daxter series. Exciting gameplay is coupled with a fun campaign and although aspects such as the open world and game length are sized down for a portable device, the heart that characterized the series remains intact.

    This was quite an enjoyable game with loads of fun. Great platforming. Superb graphics for a psp game. However, I was kinda confused by the plot (although that's probably because I never got Jak 2).

    Daxter is the best game Ive played for the PSP.Not only are the graphics good but the gameplay is too. The controls are great and are real easy to get into. And it only cost 5 bucks! I just wished the storyline was a little better but its still a great game

    A good platforming game, but this gets nowhere near the PS2 Jak games.

    An engaging plat former. fun to pick up & play. the similarities between Daxter & the good origianal spyro games are quit obvious. a little short but addictive. if you liked the first two games you'll find a lot to love here. The fact that it has no loading screens was a god send when it was realized but now seams common place. Daxter is definitely worth more than it costs now.

    Sure, its story is kind of ridiculous and even a little boring, but the events that said story lead into are fantastic. From the great level design to the ultra-refined controls to the excellent production values, Daxter is a game every PSP gamer should check out.

    This is the action/platformer we've pined for on PSP. With amazing graphics, an entertaining story and uber-accurate control, it's virtually flawless and its appeal knows no bounds.

    Even without the compelling multiplayer, Daxter is the best platformer available on the PSP, and a fantastic extra chapter for the series.
