Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy

Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy is a 2001 platform video game developed by Naughty Dog and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the Sony PlayStation 2 on December 4, 2001, as the first game of the Jak and Daxter series. The game follows the protagonist, a young teenager named Jak, as he tries to help his friend Daxter after he is transformed into an "ottsel", a fictional hybrid of an otter and a weasel.

The game offers a large range of missions, collectables and objectives, often in the form of minigames, which provide a variety of gameplay experiences, as well as puzzles and platforming stages, which are completed by the player to proceed with the story.

Jak II

Jak II is an open-world platform, third-person shooter, and an action-adventure video game. It is the second game of the Jak and Daxter series and a sequel to Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy.

Jak 3

Jak 3 is a platform game developed by Naughty Dog for Sony's PlayStation 2 console. The game is the sequel to Jak II, and third in the series. The game features new weapons and devices, new playable areas, and a storyline that picks up after the events of the previous games. As in the other games in the series, the player takes on the dual role of recurring protagonists Jak and Daxter.

Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier

Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier is a 2009 platform game developed by High Impact Games and published by Sony Computer Entertainment. The game is the sixth and final game in the Jak and Daxter series. The player assumes the role of Jak, the angst-ridden hero enhanced by his exposure to Light and Dark Eco.

When their world begins to run out of Eco, Jak and Keira travel to the edge of the world in search of the ancient Precursor machinery that could reverse the planet's decline. They're not the only interested factions out on the Brink, however; Jak must contend with Sky Pirates while struggling to control his own Eco powers.

Jak X: Combat Racing

After saving Haven City once again, Jak and Daxter find themselves poisoned forced into competition on the international car-racing circuit by the execution of Krew's will.

Featuring over a dozen customizable vehicles designed with unique handling characteristics, players will race their whip through 20 tracks in eight different terrain arenas. With an assortment of power-ups available, including projectile weapons, mines, ranged weapons, turbo boosts, shields, and smart bombs, players should have the means necessary to ensure they're the first to cross the finish line.

The game supports both offline and online multiplayer. Offline multiplayer is the typical two-player split-screen multiplayer. Online multiplayer is playable with up to five other players. Both modes feature the same game types, which are the same as the single player except that human players are replacing the AI.

Daxter

Daxter is a platformer developed by Ready at Dawn and published by Sony Computer Entertainment. Released in 2006 for the PlayStation Portable (PSP), it serves as a midquel set between Jak II and Jak 3 from the Jak and Daxter series.

The game follows Daxter, a comical ottsel, as he works as a pest exterminator in Haven City while searching for his captured friend, Jak. Gameplay focuses on platforming, combat, and gadget-based puzzles, with Daxter using unique tools like a bug swatter and spray gun to defeat enemies. It features detailed environments, engaging minigames, and the series' signature humor.

The game was originally released in 2006 as a spin-off of the Jak and Daxter series.

PlayStation Move Heroes

The game offers both single-player and two-player cooperative multiplayer modes as players progress through a series of levels. Featuring six playable characters—Ratchet, Clank, Jak, Daxter, Sly Cooper, and Bentley—the game comprises a total of 50 levels categorized into five "archetypes", five weapon classes, and four environments. These environments include Paris from Sly Cooper & Bentley, Metropolis City on Kerwan from Ratchet & Clank, Haven City from Jak and Daxter, and Planet X, an original game-created environment.

Players have the flexibility to choose their character for each level, with each character offering a distinct gameplay style and potential advantages on specific levels. In cooperative play, the second player assumes the role of the first player's sidekick character. For instance, if the first player selects Jak, the second player automatically becomes Daxter.

The five weapon classes—Disc, Whip, Bowling, Projectile, and Melee—each bring a unique gameplay element. The Disc is thrown akin to a frisbee, with players controlling its navigation remotely using the Move controller to achieve objectives like hitting moving targets. The Whip is operated via the Move controller with 1-to-1 movement. Bowling functions similarly to the Disc, where players throw a bowling ball and guide it using the Move controller. Projectiles involve various guns and weapons, such as grenade launchers. Melee utilizes each character's distinctive weapons—Sly's cane, Ratchet's wrench, or Jak's gunstaff—to engage enemies in a manner reminiscent of their original games.
