- May 15, 2003 00:00 AM PST
This September, you�ll witness a darker side of one of Sony�s most recognizable characters.
Two years can change a person; for Jak, two years locked up in a jail cell has given him a new priority�revenge. This September, you�ll witness a darker side of one of Sony�s legendary heroes as Jak and his furry sidekick, Daxter, perform vindictive reciprocity against minions in a futuristic world.Jak and Daxter�s story starts immediately after the first J&D game. The duo travels to the future, where Jak is captured and sent to incarceration. Jak�s two-year stay in isolation involves countless tests with Dark Ico, an element that turns his body into an abnormality. Daxter eventually frees Jak, and their adventure begins. Much of Jak II�s gameplay (3D platform hopping) remains the same as that of the first adventure but with additional moves for a now-mature Jak. He now uses an upgradable gun and hover board, but still possesses a vast array of jumps, punches, and kicks�along with a brand-new set of moves when he�s fully powered up with Dark Ico. Revenge can be sweet.
