Daxter is the latest installment in the Jak and Daxter series. It's set about 2 years prior to the escape of Jak in Jak 2 the game. In this game, you'll become a rouge exterminator that ...well... exterminates pests in Haven City. In addition, you'll have to take part in some quests that are somewhat correlated to the follow up of Jak 2.

First off, the gameplays pretty solid, and there arent any really super arduos puzzles that will keep you baffled. And as for the weapons, well you'll have a bug spray stunning weapon, a flamethrower, and not to mention a wicked awsome shotgun like energy blaster that just tears your enemies to shreds. Also there arent any flaws with the combat system. All you really have to do is jump at an enemy and shoot at them. It's as easy as that.

However, there are some bad aspects to the game too. The worst part is that you will have a limited selection of levels that will take you a good 10-15 minuets to complete. Secondly the levels are redundant too. For instace upon completing a part of a level, the player will have to repeat that same level that they just played exept they'll play the level with "new and improved" objectives.

All in all, Daxter is certainly a phenomenal game that excedes its predescesors reputation of being a great platformer. Anyone who owns a psp and enjoys platformers should definetly check this game out!

Daxter Full Length Review

Alright, I haven't seen a review for this game yet, so I'll make one.

Daxter- Rated E10+ for Animated blood, cartoon vilence, crude humor, and mild language

It takes place right before Jak ll

The Pros: superb graphics, easy controls, colorful scenes, many moves to learn, great gameplay, different missions, variety of vehicles.

The only con: a few camera problems

Story: You play as Daxter, a half otter half weasel mix. You work around Haven city disguised as a bug exterminator, in order to find clues in hope of breaking Jak (from the infamous Jak and Daxter) out of prison. You have different gadgets (like flamethrower, toxic spray, mini bombs), and you will need all of them to survive. I give it a 8.3/10 since it's a little weird

Amount of Fun: This game is great fun, though it can get pretty frustrating at times, like during boss battles where you have no idea how to beat them . However, w/ different variety, this game is great. Almost all missions are different, and the game rarely gets boring. I gave it a 9.3/10

Graphics: This might as well be the best part of the game! The graphics are simply superb! They're visually stunning! No matter what you do, where you are in the game, the graphics are always amazing! Not much else to be said. I give them 10/10!

Sound: The music is great and goes w/ the settings and scenes. The voice ins are perfect, though I was a little surprised when I first heard Daxter talk (for those of you who have never played a Jak and Daxter game... Yup, he can talk). There are no multiple voice-ins (like the same ppl for different charectors). Daxter's pretty funny too!I gave it a 9.7/10

Controls: The controls in this game are simple, and don't take very long to get used to. Maybe 15 minutes at the most! You learn new moves as you collect certain eggs and act out Daxter's "Heroic Fantasies". The camera is easy to control (L and R to move the camera), and overall I gave the controls a 9.4/10

Gameplay: Gameplay is pretty similar to the console version of the game, except it's all Daxter What seperates this from the rest of the PSP games, is it is full of variety! There are very few boring parts, and it's pretty rare that you get stuck (maybe 1 or twice in the whole game). I gave this a 9.6/10, also.

Difficulty: This game is pretty simple, and rarely gets you discourgaed. Only once or twice do you get stuck (meaning you do the same thing more than 10 times). It's a fairly easy game, but is still pretty long. I would give this a 9.1/10

Multiplayer: Ther is only AD Hoc mode for multiplayer, and even that is not needed. The single player is long enough to keep you playing! Anyway, in multiplayer mode, you do weird bug battles. You put your bug up against other people's bugs. It's pretty unusual I've never done it, so I'm not going to give it a score.

Replay value: This game isn't very long. I've beaten it in 8 hrs and 51 minutes. It's not exactly the longest game. You collect eggs in or

short

Then hit this game up. It does only take a week to beat, person who reviewed against me, but only if you are a PRISON INMATE with insomnia and nothing else to do but play this game 24/7. That applies to every game fyi, except sandbox games like Mercenaries, WoW, and Grand Theft Auto. Those games get boring.
I'd say a trading token- 5 dollars USD- is a great price for this game. Better than buying it for $20-40 then not knowing what to do with it after, right?
So, anyway, there aren't many good psp games. So try it! If you don't like it, then trade it!
