Video Game Reviews of Daxter
Customer Review: Love it!
Summary: 5 Stars
This game reminds me a lot of the older Harry Potter games, but instead of carrying a magic wand like Potter did, Daxter carries a lethal bug swatter. There's a lot of exploring around the different environments to collect stuff Daxter needs, much like in the Potter games, as well as a storyline and short animated clips that follow along the storyline. It also guides you through the various controls for the moves you need Daxter to do, again, much like the old Potter games did.
The graphics are outstanding, the storyline is fun and interesting, and violence really is minimal since it is bugs Daxter is killing, after all, and not human characters. The environments in the many levels are fun to explore although at times can be tricky, as one wrong move can send Daxter plummeting over a steep edge or send him into oblivion.
The music in 'Daxter' is pleasant to listen to for long stretches, unlike some games where the music gets obnoxious pretty quickly like in the game 'Thrillville'.
This game keeps me hooked for hours at a time and is well worth its price. It definitely has replay value as well since the first time through usually results in missing quite a few of the collectible objects. I know I'll be replaying it repeatedly not only because it's fun, but also to go back and see if I can get the objects in the more challenging locations.
If you're having a hard time deciding which game to get next for your PSP and don't already have this, choose this one...you won't be disappointed! :)
Customer Review: Favorite PSP game so far!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this for my PSP since I really liked the Jak&Daxter games for the PS2. This game did not fail to pull me in and become a true favorite for me.
Daxter has more personality than quiet Jak, and somehow I don't miss Jak at all in this game. Like Jak games, Daxter gets to ride cool machines, use cool weapons and explore interesting locale, as well as kill off some pretty gnarly creatures/bugs and figure out some tricky moves.
I have completed this game by killing the final boss and finding all my 1001 orbs, but I am still not at 100% done!!
In order to get 100%, You have to reach gold levels in the dream sequences. Well, I am still working on that one...and I seem to have missed 3 bugs along the way somehow! There is so much to figure out and explore and collect that it stays true to the style of the Jak & Daxter games that I came to love for the PS2.
Another cool aspect of this game, are the dream sequences (as before mentioned). You work on these when you get a chance to get back to Daxters bed. As you make your way through the game and collect orbs, you gain new dream sequences that are fun to watch and play. Daxter goes to sleep and becomes a different character...(ie: Matrix, Braveheart, Indiana Jones, and Lord of the Rings characters). As you beat dream levels, you gain life bars, new moves and gain new secrets...But beware...it takes some pretty fast fingers to win these up to the gold levels, as I have mentioned.
Another aspect of the game is: "Bug Combat". Along the way IN THE GAME again, you are also collecting "bugs, tokens and bug powers" while you play. Than you try your hand at "Bug Combat". It is kinda fun (but not great!) it is basically a game of "Rock, Paper, Scissors" as you choose weapons and shields for your bug, to fight the psp bug. One bug tops the other with their choices of shield/spit/claw. In the game you can also find or win funny items like pants, masks, and a hat for daxter. These are fun and interesting, but not an important part of winning the game.
Finally, if needed, this game has a guide at the Daxter webpage of the Playstation U.S. website, if you get stuck. It may come in handy as I found I was stuck a couple times in various locations and had no idea how to get out...if you don't get out...you cannot move on. It also helps you locate those last and final orbs, masks, and bug combat items that you couldn't find.
There is not really a ton of great games for the PSP out there as I am sadly finding...but this one is my top favorite so far and worth the purchase. ENJOY!" It takes time to complete, and is fun all along to watch and play.
Customer Review: Very Good Game...
Summary: 4 Stars
...but i actually enjoyed the new Ratchet & Clank PSP game more then i did Daxter.
It was a tie for the 2 games. I picked up Daxter & the new PSP Ratchet both on the same day, same purchase. I am not gonna say why the other is better or anything like that. But Daxter is a great game with plenty of things to do. A game of this epic scope its kinda hard 2 really enjoy it as much as you would have enjoy it if it was on your big screen TV. Its alittle hard 4 me 2 accept it on a small PSP screen. But overall i am pleased with my purchase. Conisdering the game was not designed by the original creators. They did a great job of creating an excellent adventure game title from a legendary series. Unlike the crew that developed Spyro & Crash after the owners jumped ship. Those 2 mascots are in desperate need of a GOOD make over.

Summary: 5 Stars
With the advancement of handheld game systems one thing is for sure. Some games on a small handheld system are just too dificult to play. However Daxter is the perfect example on how to make a great game just as enjoyable in small scale as large. Immediately you will notice the superb 'Animation like' graphics and great intermissions. If you liked the previous versions of this game series then you will love Daxter. I can't get my girlfriend to give it back!! :)
