  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  4. 74
    There's fun to be had here, but it could've been polished a bit more to bring out the value.
  5. Unless you're a die-hard Jak and Daxter fan, Jak and Daxter: The Final Frontier isn't worth the coin.
  6. 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]
  7. 65
    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.
  8. Visually, it looks decent, but not great. [Feb 2010, p.93]

  1. 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!

  3. I have been playing the Jak and Daxter series since the second grade,I grew up playing these games and keeping track of when the next one would come out. I was so excited to finally get my hands on The Lost Frontier and continue the amazing journey.Unfortunately, there were some very disappointing factors in this new game that in my opinion lowered the reputation of the Jak and Daxter series drastically.The fact that this game wasn't made by Naughty Dog threw me off.Why would you start a game series so unbelievable,then hand it over to a company that makes poor,half ass games like Phineas and Ferb 3 - Across the 2nd Dimension... High Impact seriously?! Everything from the graphics,to the camera positioning to the range of movements and weapon ability is badly effected in this new game.They need to remake The Lost Frontier by Naughty Dog and continue the series the way its supposed to be,unbeatable,unbelievable and beautiful.C'mon Naughty Dog,keep it up!
