"The camera is sometimes unwieldy, and for some bizarre reason can only be rotated around Jak, not moved vertically, though there is a first-person view that lets you look around. Beyond that, however, Jak and Daxter is an excellent example of a 3D platformer." Review by Jason D'Aprile with screen shots.
Game Nation

"It's the antics of Daxter rather than the challenge of jumping and climbing the environment that draws me to want to return to it I?m sure for many experienced players it will be the same. Younger players (those with only a passing acquaintance with Crash, Banjo, Spyro and friends) will love it and more than likely drive their parents crazy with the game's hyper assault of jump and punch effects."
