"Find yourself, Jack" amazing foreshadowing, one of the many instances of it in this game.

I didn't notice this back when I first played the game all those years ago, but when Jak is dealing with Daxter, he acts more like his old self; amused with Daxter's antics and more likely to smile. As opposed to when dealing with most other people, where he's usually scowling and acting hostile. Yeah, Daxter is his best friend, but considering Jak is much more violent in this game, it's nice to see how he's still so friendly towards his friend.

jak and daxter's chemistry is iconic

This game is an absolute masterpiece, also perfectly encapsulates early 00’s much better and simpler times. They don’t make games like this anymore.

4:17 His first spoken line being a threat to the villain really defines how he feels about him.

“For every age, there is a time of trial.” 2020: Ouch

This game is a masterpiece. It literally could be a tv show

The scene at 44:07 has so much foreshadowing. The crocadog only liking Jak and his older self, daxter's smile when Kor points out that they get along so well, and Kor getting offended when Daxter recalls how ugly he looks in his Metal form

1:09:54 This was just a cute moment between Jak and Daxter. It's not often we see Daxter look so vulnerable and Jak was so soft with him.

1:18:38 "I've been building a replica of our crashed Rift Rider machine from old artefacts." "That's my girl!" "But I'm still missing two pieces" "Figures..." This game truly is full of surprises. There are so many little things here and there, all of Daxter's adult humor, a little fourth wall break here/while also dissing your daughter. My favorite series to this day!

@50:45 I just realized Daxter is telling the same story that he did in the beginning of Daxter for the psp. I like that little continuity detail.

Fun Fact: Anyone notice when Jak speaks, his pupils become very small. A small detail to show that he is no longer the wide-eyed hero from the first game, but a tainted and stressed anti-hero.

47:28 Jak: Where would you be without me , eh Dax? Dax: Well Jak, I probably wouldn't be two feet tall, fuzzy, and running around in a sewer without a pair of pants... God. I miss pants.

These were the kinds of plot I loved. The amount of quality voice actors, voice direction, ANIMATIONS (this was the PS2!) and just such a perfect balance between seriousness and comedy!

59:19 man he took it like a champ

Daxter: Don't worry Jak, I'll save you before you know it! (Two Years Later) Gets me every time lol

22:01 I love how Kiera never recognized it was Jak at first because, she never heard him talk until now either. I also loved how Jak was getting an easy turn on just from her silhouette even though he never knew it was her either. 🤣

Naughty dog needs to make this into an animated show they would make a KILLING such a good story

I never realized that at 49:50 Daxter makes a reow noise 😂, shows how easy it is to miss subtle nods/jokes when you’re a kid.

A true classic, I wholeheartedly support a remastered version with updated graphics and audio

21:31 I like how Daxter freaks out about the 'game rights' Totally not a low-key fourth wall break there. ;)

So many memories 💖

56:22 "It's a curse, isnt it?" I love the way he says that line.

36:51 when little Jak points at Daxter, the rabid orange rat. I love it.

Just rewatching all the cutscenes of this game makes my inner childhood within myself tear up and cry. I forgot how funny this game was. How well scripted the story and dialogue was. If they create another remake of this masterpiece I am for sure making a purchase.

1:36:50 Morgan was a dog that Naughty Dog loved. How sweet of them to memorialize the good pupper.

38:49 A constant reminder about how Naughty Dog went from making cartoony games aimed at children to making games for mature audiences.

Daxter is the biggest savage in the game Told Krew there aren’t enough hours in the day

Just finished this game for the first time the other day. I absolutely love this series. Now it's onto the third one for me...

The beginning speech Samos makes always pumps me up for some reason

33:46 The war between Daxter And Pecker begins

21:15 We the racers hereby agree to give Krew all proceeds from race earnings, endorsement fees, broadcast royalties, syndication residuals, vehicle sponsorships, mall appearance fees, collectible card assets, fast-food tie-ins, use of likeness rights, talk show deals, clothing lines, all print rights including book, novella, comic, pamphlet, tickertape, neon sign, and bathroom graffiti designs... toy rights, shoe lines, mood rings, game rights... *GAME RIGHTS?!* vitamin endorsements, city kickbacks, movie deals, and of course all death and dismemberment accident insurance claims.

1:12:32 whoever animated Daxter in this scene, this is the best mimicking Daxter has done in any of the games

36:30 Damn, Jak And Daxter got way more adult than I expected in just *one sequel.* Still love him-

Idk but sometimes Samos sounds like he already knew about the whole future and Jaks purpose. In the beginning he says so this is how it happened. And he also yells “Find yourself Jak during the time portal scene”

Jak & Daxter (bar having fun gameplay) has such a rich lore & atmosphere especially Jak 2. Such colorful characters and an amazing soundtrack, could literally be it's own series. Criminally underrated even when it's so loved by fans, it's that good. Absolute tragedy that Jak 4 never happened, such a waste.

Even in 2021, the graphics still hold up

16:51 Man, I always thought Sig was such a bad ass when I was a kid. One of my favorite characters. 50:39 this damn mission. Probably the hardest in the game in my opinion.

Even the short scenes with no talking like 20:30 are entertaining. Daxter always manages to steal the scene too.😁

I love this game so much, why don’t they make games like this anymore we had such a variety of games in the early 00s Jak, Spyro, Rachet & Clank, etc.

*sigh*. .I absolutely love Jak II. One of my all-time favorites.

1:09:53 when Jak tells Daxter he’s proud of him, Daxter is so happy. I live for this shit

I never realized they totally play the death sound when Jak gets knocked out by the Krimzon Guards in the opening. It really was the death of Jak as he was in the first game.

Jacks first words define his character pretty much I always saw him as a bit of an anti hero in this and later games I always loved that about him especially this epic line in Jak X

IM GONNA KILL PRAXIS

49:52 I have never heard the reow before daxter is such an instigator

I can’t believe I never noticed that Jak’s look in this game (primarily Dark Jak) was meant to resemble Gul from Precursor Legacy. It seems the original idea was for him to be conflicted with becoming the antagonist he once defeated. Subsequent the influence of GTA changed molded the story to what we know it to be today.

49:50 Just noticed Daxter in the background lol!

this game came out 18 years ago and it still looks good

Man I still feel bad for Jack... Such a young and nice guy that suddenly goes to prison and is getting tortured with the worst thing possible.

Man the dialogue and voice acting, cutscenes, and all were top tier.

4:40 that's the magic of friendship right there.

59:20 Press F for that fatman getting hit by rubble

My favorite part about this game is how everyone has kinda realistic voices and Daxter is like "MEESKA MOOSKA MICKEY MOUSE"

Daxter is too funny in Jak 2 and 3; he is the heart of the series. 🦦🏆

One of the most important milestones. Their first words. Such a sweet moment uttering their first phrase. Its so filled with love. 4:19

21:33 game rights

This game trilogy and God of war games are the reason I want a play station again

After watching the PS5 reveal I'm sad there was no Jak 4 :( Now I'm left to watching such a great trilogy

Can’t get over how amazing the metal head leaders VA is! He’s so awesome to listen to

This story was the best of the franchise and my favorite as well. It's also my favorite game of the franchise as well. And probably my favorite platformer.

I only beat this game once. It's honestly a masterpiece. They don't make games like these anymore. I miss the early 2000s Edit: I just bought a PS4 and the Jak and Dax bundle. Thanks for the likes btw.

My god this game takes me back when I first played it on my brother's PS2 it hard to believe this game is over 20 years old now.

36:30 jesus Christ dax, not in front of the kids No wonder his bar is named "the naughty ottsel"

That face you make when you realize Baron is voiced by Mr Krabs

I love this game Good gameplay, voice actors and good characters

23:40 Imagine being the poor kid who had to explain this scene to their mom when she walked in on them.

“Maybe we’ll have a touching moment of silence in your honor.” “I’d like to give him a ‘touching moment.’” You gotta love Dax and Torn’s dynamic.

Keira not being happy to see jak always bothered me Especially when i was little

All the subtle hints about the metal heads leader really get me

I love how at 50:54 at first Jak looks like he doesn't buy this story, but then in the reflection of the bar he looks super impressed xD

One of my favourite Daxter moments 9:42 is where it starts

This game had a massive impact on me as a kid. The art style was the reason I fell in love with games. First time I was ever immersed.

59:40 should have been a small sign that Kor was suspicious

49:50 Daxter: Rawr

"Ah... Sorry. He's new to the whole conversation thing" Literally hahahahhaahahah

Can I just say that jak is one of the most badass characters his voice after really does nail the performance

Jak's first words was a promise of vengeance. Awesome!

This game was amazing. The best in the series for sure.

34:41 That transition, comedic!

This game franchise is amazing. The whole series. I love how this takes a darker tone than the first. Max Casella is hilarious as the comedic relief of Daxter! The characters are very interesting, and there’s a lot of clues to who the “big bad” really is in this game. If you look at Kor’s outfit/headpiece, his comment about his “aching bones” and quick glances he gives at times…

The way Daxter says "Ah. The valve." never fails to amuse me.

49:05. Well, too bad Keira. You're spending the next 3 games and the one prequel in the future. Get used to it. I also like how she says "the people are creepy" and then Krew appears.

Funny to see Jaks personality change through the series, in 2 he starts off angry but still has that childish side to him from the first game, in 3 he balances out by the end probably due to having both light and dark powers, in X he's a well rounded indestructible stone cold fearless badass with only a care for his closest friends

It amazes me that they managed to take such a drastic change in gameplay and somehow made it work.

The best game in the entire franchise. At least in my opinion. Syndrome: SURE IT WAS DIFFICULT... But who cares? It was still a great game. The story was the best part. But I also loved the gameplay. This game gives me so much nostalgia. I miss playing it. I also miss my childhood.

I never beat Jak 2, so thank you. This game is more hilarious than I remember 😂

25:30 one of Daxter's best lines

Goddamn I never realized just how good the facial animation is in this game, and the models look fantastic for PS2

For years I always wondered why people were saying Jak got too edgy in Jak 2...But I mean cmon, wouldn't you also be pissed off if you were tortured for 2 years straight with dark eco? Thankfully he does mellow out by Jak 3.

Look at sig stacking peacemaker ammo like a true speedrunner

The way sig calls them cherries and chili peppers is so smooth like idk anyone else who could get away with it😂😂

22:37 Jak? You okay, my guy? 😂

I always loved the lore of this game. So much mystery in the history and geography of the planet. I would love going to the top of the palace to look for recognizable areas from TPL.

15:34 "Slow down Jack and a Fat Man..." Makes me laugh every time.

Jak: This horrible place......is our world! Daxter: So those Metal Head guys destroyed everything when we went through that rift gate? Hang on, gotta take this. (jumps off of Jak so he can drop to his knees in anger) YOU MANIACS, YOU BLEW IT UP! DAMN YOU! DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL! (starts crying into the ground) Jak: Are you done?

Daxter is my personal favorite video game companion/sidekick. If it weren't for his commentary/jokes in the 1st game I probably wouldn't have enjoyed playing it since Jak didn't talk. His spin off game actually shows that he is capable of being a hero in his own right and a comic relief character can have dramatic moments. In the 2nd game we actually got to see his and Jak's relationship develop and we actually see why they are such good friends/heroic duo. And the 3rd game brought their friendship to the test when Daxter stood by Jak when no one else would and he got his happy ending getting his glory, girl, and pants. Oh, and let's just all agree that the last 2 games aren't relevant to their story.

36:33 I love it when daxter explains stuff

god this game was one of the big ones in my childhood lmao. so damn good. random bit but the voice actors did a hella good job in this (imo) and my favorite is the one who does Metal Kor. it just sounds like such a calculating, monstrous voice they pulled off
