Title: Did anyone get the new Jak and Daxter?

Swaggaz? If so, how is it?

The GT review doesn't make me think it looks too hot, but it can't be worse than Jak 3.

I got it in the mail earlier this week but haven't had a chance to play it because of Dragon Age and Modern Warfare 2.  Someone in another thread mentioned playing it.

I did try the demo and thought it was alright.  I mean, the on foot Jak stuff felt like a really lite version of the PS2 games, the flying stuff felt like Crimson Skies Xbox lite, and the Dark Daxter stuff sucked.  Probably will be the worst Jak game, but enjoyable despite that.  That's basing it on the demo and hearing it's 8 hours long.

I heard the dark daxter stuff is barely in the game.  Like 2 sections total.  I also heard the game is fairly short.

Is this a non-Naughty-Dog production?

They should do a PSN version of Combat Racing.

Yeah. Jak-X was pretty awesome. I love how all the track sort of ran together and you could really go nuts customizing your ride.

It's by the dev who did the PSP Ratchet games.

I "rented" the game last week, and I kind of like it. I wasn't looking forward to the air combat stuff before, but it has actually turned out to be pretty fun. There's not a ton of platforming (2-3 hours in) and what's there isn't difficult. The camera isn't the greatest, since you can only pan side to side and some platforming requires you to look up and down to guage distance. Also, there is at least one section where you have to shoot enemy targets on a shooting range while avoiding shooting friendlies. Ugggh, it doesn't work well on the PSP nub. I like how you can upgrade your weapons/abilities and I could see myseld beating this game if it isn't too repetetive
