There is alwaysA lot of negative comments about this game collection on Vita. Granted, it could have been better but that is the way it is. There is always room for improvement with everything in life. I don't notice the frame rate like everyone else. I thought this game had a beautiful clear picture on the Vita screen. My only complaint is the controls. The rear touch panel is very touchy and in Jak 2, it is a recipe for disaster should you accidentally touch that screen and if you are physical while playing, it will throw you for a loop. Playing on the Vita definitely takes a little getting used to when you are used to the large console. The buttons are so small and game play is a little stiff but I love this game series. I bought Jak for my kids when they were knee high to a grasshopper and though they are all adults now, we all still love the series and I for one am just glad they brought these lovable characters back. I do wish Sony would create a touch pad cover for the back of the vita or make the touch screen an option by having an enable/disable button. One other thing would be to create a controller that looks and feels like the PS3 with a port in the middle to connect the Vita to the controller. That would allow you to play comfortably with the feel of the controller you are used to. I think it would also allow gamers who for one reason or another can't play on such a small console with tiny controls, to enjoy games on a smaller scale.… Expand

   I can't believe that the same people that made the excellent port for PS3 also worked on the Vita version. What the hell happened?! Were theyI can't believe that the same people that made the excellent port for PS3 also worked on the Vita version. What the hell happened?! Were they pressured into releasing beta code too early before optimization was completed? Porting ps3 code to vita is supposed to be fairly easy so this can only mean that it wasn't ready. I love my Vita and I want so badly for it to shine, but rushing software to market is not the solution!! The game is almost unplayable because of very low frame rate. The camera does this strange horizontal shaking constantly, even while idle. I experienced several hard crashes while playing. Even the game select menu is buggy with art form the other games tearing off layers that stick to each other! What a buggy mess!! I really hope that a patch will be released to address the frame rate and buggy camera. If a patch is released I will update my review with a solid 10!… Expand

   Having played the original then the port to the PS3, I thought I had to play the vita version as it's a game I remember very fondly. Though IHaving played the original then the port to the PS3, I thought I had to play the vita version as it's a game I remember very fondly. Though I wish I didn't bother.
   Visually there's nothing wrong with the game and it runs fine though in the latter stages there were a few frame rate issues but nothing to put me off.
   The real problems came with how bad the camera and and jump commands were in the game and I really don't remember either been so bad in the originals or PS3 ports. The camera wouldn't keep you centre and would often swing right around causing cheap and infuriating deaths through not knowing where you were or where you were heading and it would also not be responsive when trying to operate the camera yourself with the right stick. And no there's nothing wrong with my vita sticks.
   Jumping was also massively infuriating as Jak can cling onto ledges, when he felt like it often falling when he should be clinging on your falling because the double jump feature wasn't responding either. The amount of cheap deaths from very simple platforming due to terrible camera controls and unresponsive jumping tainted what was a great fondness to the game on he original platform. Such a shame I can't recommend this one… Expand

   Is there something worse than an infantile 3d platformer? Yes, badly ported infantile 3d platformer with framerate issues, tons of glitchesIs there something worse than an infantile 3d platformer? Yes, badly ported infantile 3d platformer with framerate issues, tons of glitches and input lag making controls one big hell that leads to the new undiscovered realms of frustration. Camera work is terrible and overall the gameplay is simply just bad. Characters are annoying and all you do is jumping like crazy, collecting orbs, there are basically all the right reasons to hate this game. On the other hand as I wanted to finish it, so I know what all the fuss is about and to get a platinum in the process. I must admit, that after finishing it all, in a strange way, I started to like all that collecting and it grew on me a bit. Definitely a terrible port, especially the input lag combined with framerate issues and occasional crashes and unability to save are making it hell at times, but if I look at it from the bright sight, this was a truly hardcore experience, 10 times harder than Dark Souls, I must have died about 2000 times here, so if you want to really suffer and finish these badly ported games, go on, in a masochistic way, I had some fun in the end. Maybe if I played it on PS3, which I actually could as it's a cross-buy, I might have actually really enjoy these. Pity. 4/10… Expand
