    This is one of the best games for PlayStation 2, what is also the weak point of it. Graphics and game mechanics are not the same as in a PS3 game, so it isn’t stirring for me.

    If you've been hankering for a full-scale Jak and Daxter game for some time, The Lost Frontier largely fulfills its duty as a continuation of the main series with flying colors. It's not a perfect sequel by any means, but it's strong enough to merit a purchase and some solid play time. Just be prepared to deal with some bumps along the way.

    Jak & Daxter: The Lost Frontier is a good game with here and there some setbacks. It plays smoothly, it’s fast-paced from the get go and it looks fine. There’s not much bad to say about the game, aside from some camera flaws.

    There’s fun to be had here, but it could’ve been polished a bit more to bring out the value.

    Unless you're a die-hard Jak and Daxter fan, Jak and Daxter: The Final Frontier isn't worth the coin.

    It's clear that the developers didn't have enough time to properly finish the game. As it is now it's ugly and full of bugs and bad gameplay. A shame really, because with some proper polishing it could've been a really good platformer. [Jan 2010]

    Though let down its by haphazard combat mechanics, there are enough positives to The Lost Frontier to make it worth checking out for both fans of the series and of platforming games in general.

    Visually, it looks decent, but not great. [Feb 2010, p.93]

    HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO US NAUGHTY DOG!!!! I used to love the jak and daxter series but selling it to another company has just made it crap. The only reason I didn't give this a zero is because the ships at least looked quite cool.… Full Review »

    well naughty dog sold out the series to some one else for money. and the game is not right! i dont know what it is it just doesn't feel right. the sound and music make you know it's a game. the world is empty feeling and lonely. the game itself is decent but it is just not enough. i played for about 3 hours and i dont want to finish it. the jak series has been like a bunch of chocolate this last edition is a vanilla disapointment!… Full Review »

    Jak and Daxter: One of the first games for the PS2, it had beautiful graphics unlike any other game seen before. The controls were tight, the music fit the mood and Daxter was entertaining. Jak 2: An obvious cash-in on the GTA craze sweeping the nation, but not bad. Music was fitting, controls were once again tight, the graphics were even better and Daxter was, again, amusing. Jak 3: Best music, best dialogue, best graphics, best gameplay, best EVERYTHING. Jak X: The "black sheep" of the franchise, it was a fairly decent racing game. Graphics were at their prime, story was pieced together but still enjoyable, and Daxter was still enjoyable. Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier: Mediocre rip of a PSP game with lifeless voice-acting, inconsistent animation (Jak's shirt actually changes in one cutscene. Fail.), lifeless music. Major changes: Jak has a new voice actor. Keira's face has been rearranged . Daxter is very, very fluffy. Flying is a large part of the game now. Even compared to the racing game (which i'll admit to liking very much, actually) this game is a colossal failure, the furthest the franchise has fallen. It's one big cliche storm, the enemies are generic, everything is OFF. I'd go as far as to say this game is disgusting. The only part I liked at all (in fact, I loved it) was the flying; you could send Daxter to sabotage other planes! Very fun. But aside from that, this game is terrible. Fans will hate his game, and I can almost guarentee that. STEER CLEAR FROM THE LOST FRONTIER.… Full Review »
