First Look: Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy

Backing Naughty Dog and its Crash Bandicoot series of games was one of the best moves Sony ever made for the PlayStation because it looks like the Dog?s magic just might continue for the PlayStation 2.

Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy will be a massive action/adventure game that will make no bones about following in the footsteps of the Legend of Zelda series?even if it is for the PlayStation 2. To out-Zelda the Legend, Naughty Dog?s latest will attempt to strike a balance with exploration, puzzle-solving, and monster-slaying, as two hero-wannabes, Jak and Daxter, seek to save their mystical world from an evil wizard by solving the mystery of an ancient, long-gone race called the Precursors. Of course, their motives aren?t entirely altruistic: A mysterious dark power has transformed Daxter into a furry little rodent, and only the secrets of the Precursors can change him back. As with Crash Bandicoot, Naughty Dog will focus all of its creative energies on Jak and Daxter with no current plans for another game, ostensibly for the life of the PlayStation 2 platform!

Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy was another formidable-looking work-in-progress for the PlayStation 2 showcased at E3, a sort of Precursor to good things to come in the PlayStation 2?s second generation of games.
