Well the driving sucked like he said.
I never really cared for the shooting. The best thing about the game was probably its platforming and camera.
And the problem with the
Jak 2 platforming was the checkpoints, I recall. There was a mission where it started with a turret stage, went to a 2D platformer-like stage along a wall, and then an action shooting stage in a wide yard populated with bad guys. I think it took me 3 or 4 tries to get past each stage, and death meant restarting over at the beginning of the mission, not the stage. By the time I finished the yard, I had probably gone from struggling through the first turret stage to going through it by rote; it had become a chore, which no game should ever become.
