    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!… Expand

    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.

    that's a really nice game, the flying gameplay was awesome. But where is dark and light Jak?

    A deep disappointment for Jak fans, and a sad epitaph for the series. The camera is broken to the point that the game is frustrating. (As others have pointed out, the game is ported from the PSP version, and uses the shoulder-button camera rotation from that version instead of the proper right-stick camera control PS2 players expect.) The Dark Daxter sequences are annoying. The auto-aim of some of the guns makes the shooting gallery trials feel like a burden. The space action is fun, but it isn't enough to make up for the rest.… Expand

    I love the Jak and Daxter series but this game is a big disappointment. The camera is painful to control. I often find myself shooting at the screen in hopes of hitting enemy's I think is there. The controls are not spot on and Jak's animation's are a choppy compared to previous Jak and Daxter games. I feel like High Impact games could have spent more time to make the controls and the camera more polished. Also, the story feels weak and the dark Daxter sequences feel out of place. On the other hand the animation in cut scenes are what you would expect from the Jak and Daxter series. Overall, this game is mediocre at best.… Expand

    This is a really good game,even though it was released near the end of the PS2's sell by date.The flying was unreal,though the camera is fairly poor and Dark Daxter wasn't really adding much in terms of gameplay,but for what it is,its fairly solid.

    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.… Expand

    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!… Expand

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

    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.

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