Jak and Daxter's games to me are the greatest adventure video games ever made. I rarely get into these games, I'm more into playing fighting games and Star Fox and Sonic games but this series was just too amazing for me to pass up. The first one really is a weird game considering the rest of the franchise.
I felt that the darker tone in Jak 2, 3, X: Combat racing is what made the games so amazing. The deep, intricate story lines, deeply developed characters, and original ideas with this whole new species, gods, monsters, and just a really riveting game play that while can be frustrating, was extremely compelling.
It's the bad ass story line and characters that actually made me WANT to finish the game so I could see what happens next. I rarely come across a game that makes me really compelled to finish it, only this and Star Fox Adventures have done that to me.
