Daxter Critic Reviews

If I had to hold one thing against Daxter (and Ready at Dawn) it’s that they raised the bar so high that it’s probably going to be a while before there is another PSP title that reaches this level of quality.

It feels, moves and looks like a "Jak" title, and any fan of the series will have a blast taking this new title on the road.

This is it, the first truly great game for the PSP. The entire game is just so polished, well-designed, and implemented that it could stand as an example of great gaming on any platform.

Almost effortlessly, the game provides a wonderful offshoot of the established "Jak and Daxter" world, serving up scores of original content and gameplay mechanics while maintaining the franchise's charm and fun.

Aside from looking great, the gameplay is very cohesive and tight, and though it doesn’t venture too far from the typical Jak and Daxter formula, it’s hard to complain when the game is this good.

Put simply, Daxter is not only a great game for the PSP, it would make a great game on any platform.

So far, Daxter is the most fun I've had on my PSP this year, and Daxter is a sure in for PSP game of the year.

From the gorgeous graphics, solid control scheme to the writing and sound production, this one has "BUY ME" stamped all over it in big gold letters.

Not only do the graphics look outstanding, but the developers went even further by having some of the best audio I have heard for a PSP game.

It's just a really, really well-made platformer and probably one of the best to come along in quite some time.

Daxter is one of the best experiences to be had on the PSP, and an excellent platformer on any system.

The best platformer on the PSP and almost the best title period on the console.

Daxter continues to prove that the PSP is the best handheld system out there and the closest thing you can get to a home console experience. I’d certainly stack this game up against anything in the genre on the PS2.

Tremendously fun title to say the least.

Daxter is the most technically impressive game on the PSP and delivers and extremely fun platforming experience that could be the best in Naughty Dog’s history.

The pint-sized Daxter is every bit as good as its console counterparts, bringing all the best elements of the action-platformer Jak games fluidly to the PSP.

It takes a rich universe and focuses it on a very popular character, and didn't just throw him into some clone of Jak 3, but instead designed a game around Daxter and the PSP.

Daxter isn't just a great platformer with amazing graphics and sound, it's one of the best playing games you can get on the PSP. You can look around all you want, but there's no reason to; Daxter is the new king of 3D portable platforming games.

A smooth, portable platformer that looks gorgeous. It is very traditional, but the playability is flawless and the levels are top notch. Hilarious minigames are a nice bonus.

With the non-existent load times and simple, but rewarding controls, this game feels like it’s been made with the idea of what handheld games need while not ignoring the presentation that the console-like power can provide
